They're essentially a size up as on-field they'd be layered with a T-shirt, but that's American so in real terms it may be 1-1/2 sizes up. I have two Cards jerseys that are still fit many years after yo-yoing. There *are* UK/Euro-centric official shops for shirts but as with the NFL gear they'd tend to be inferior copies, and even then prices south of £80 aren't common.

That's a lovely bit of artistic license.

Basically, "we had an initial stock of about 100 in store, and it SOLD OUT straight away!!!"

Like Bristol City, but with an actual expectation of a re-stock.

nb Martin posted an apology afterward, which is nice.

William Shatner. 92 and can pass for 62.

Stephen Merchant and co. are filming a new season of Outlaws in my building estate.

EDIT: Walken is absent, go back to sleep.

I had an E-mail yesterday about it

I pay monthly and it doesn't say anything about not being to do so now

It just says my Auto-renew will renew at last season prices, they've removed the Season Essential package and its just Season Pro now but If you had essential and have auto renew on you'll get Pro for 2023 at last years Essential price.

I might E-mail them to just double check but definitely nothing about the monthly installment option being stopped in the E-mail or when I've logged in.

 

Here's the splash page. No monthly option.

NFL gamepass has been sold to DAZN. No email about the change, just found it on FB / google. £150 for the season, and that's the only subscription available - no monthly deal, either all up front or deal with the free highlights.

One more for the spreadsheet?

For the 2023/24 season the ballpark for improvement is for Man City to concede two goals in the FA Cup. Preferably in the same game.

Where are the end-of-season reviews, lads? 

The three-place improvement Brizzle had doesn't do justice to the fires we had to put out - deadwood was cleaned and still needs cleaning, we had to get rid of one prized asset to balance the books and will likely sell our next one with all the press he's getting from the right people, and Nige has the team onside - but it was another meh season on balance as our uncharacteristic surge in January / February fell off at the worst possible time with the playoffs still achievable - our quinquennial shitkicking by Man City followed by a single point from the Cardiff/Huddersfield block (when six would have put us one game out of 6th place) pretty much sent us off the rails as we won only 4 games since.

GG Everton. But good lord Bournemouth were appalling.

How has it taken over 3 years to release FFVII Remake Part 2?

 

Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX and X were all released from 1997-2001.

1. FFXVI.

2. FFXIV (ongoing).

3. Games are *far* bigger in scope-size and asset-size than they were. If you made a SSD specifically for XVI, you could instead get I-XII on it and maybe some of XIII alongside.

Plus the 3 bosses you face near the end of the game prior to Sephiroph are clearly Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo

 

They're composite parts of Sephiroth himself, so by extension the large boss is Sephiroth - this makes no sense as he would not fight to keep a canon that he benefits from breaking.

I thought it was pretty clear Remake is a sequel to 7? 

Remake isn’t remake per se it’s the timelines that are being remade, Aerith and Sephiroph seem to be the only two aware of this.  Rebirth will pretty much confirm this I think once the gang get to Cosmo Canyon and it’s all explained to us in a confusing way by Bugenhagen

 

How's it a direct sequel where it involves going through the first half of Disc One (in a more roundabout fashion), then the curveball happens?

He even admitted it. 

 

Wasn't it Ron Goldman's family that pushed for the word "If" to be noticeably smaller on the cover of "If I Did It"? or was that just a rib around the time?

One thing I found quite striking about Remake is that there's a real sense that Aeris knows what her fate is. That might be because of the weird alternative timeline approach the game's taking, but it definitely coloured my last playthrough of VII by reading a lot of her dialogue that way. She knows that she has to die and return to the Lifestream in order to stop Meteor. 

She well knows what her fate was supposed to be, and the only one who knew from the start...

Thing is, isn't that a bit of a motif for FF? Not every time, but I thought I remembered a few times where they did that.

Not quite. Just about all the bosses prior to VI had their primary motivation of "let's kill everything because life is pointless" - with Kefka being the first deviation - but just about all of them were consistent menaces throughout their respective games. Necron stuck out like a sore thumb because it literally appears out of thin air at the very end.

As a child who first got into the First Division in 90/91-91/92 I'm thrilled that either Coventry or Luton will be back in the top flight.

Shame that Saints have gone the other way and it looks like two from Everton, Forest and Leeds too.

I have the feeling Everton will squeeze it mainly down to the dual incompetence of Leicester and Leeds. Forest I think have done enough.
