Just thought I would post some thoughts on a few stories that have been in the news lately.
Premier League games played overseas
The Premier League is thinking about playing an extra fixture starting in a few years. They would play it during the new winter break in a location that bids for the game. The first time I heard this I thought cool, Arsenal playing in the US would be great. Then I thought about it for half a second and realized this is a retarded idea. It would make the championship a joke. If it was a close race for the title and Arsenal’s 39th game was in Norway against Bolton, while Man U got drew against Derby in Los Angeles, you could lose the title. They would have to seed the teams a year before hand, meaning a team like Man City this year (or even Arsenal after the way everyone wrote them off) would be given a lower seed, then come out and have a great season. The only way this would work is if the games didn’t matter, but if it didn’t matter, who would want to bid for a game without one of the Big Four playing?
Idiots 0wning themselves
On strafeRight last night galangstuh posted a screenshot of him playing in our cs_assault server. He also forgot to turn off his cheats before taking said screenshot. There is nothing better than someone posting evidence of them cheating. Then when people realized what was actually in the screenshots, he said “no hacks involved guys”, before editing his post with the screenshot in it. Absolute quality.
Arsenal Update
In the Manchester derby yesterday City beat United 2-1, giving Arsenal a chance to go up 5 points at the top of the table. Also good news was later on Chelsea and Liverpool drew 0-0, giving us a chance to go up 8 points on third place Chelsea. I also took a look and if we win today over Blackburn, we will be 5 pts away from St. Totteringham’s Day! It should be a tough game against Blackburn today though, as I think we have more players out with injury than ones that are fully fit.
Final Thoughts
That is about all I have for now, hopefully there is some more news-worthy stuff in the next few days/weeks so I can actually post somewhat regularly. Not sure what I’ll do for the next feature though, if you have any ideas let me knw. Chances are it will be something from the strafeRight LAN at Hunter’s that is coming up in March.
