Behave yourselves, you two. Who could hate the silky, smooth, dulcet tones and boyish charm of Mikey B?

The whole thing is bonkers. I agree the Anne Frank reading and the Bologna leaflets were probably ill-judged, but I think the intention was there. Not surprising though. A culture of anti-semitic and racist "humour" has long persisted among Ultras from so many Italian football teams, always excused by its propagators in the same terms: as irreverence, banter, deliberate bad-taste satire. But you're right, it will take more than a reading and a few flyers to bring about meaningful change there.

Italian football supporters at it again. As per usual, Lazio "Ultras" at the forefront of the problems... Distributing stickers with Anne Frank in a Roma shirt, along with some anti-semitic phrases. I mean, why? ---- The Italian team's hard-core support, known as ultras, sparked outrage on Sunday, as fans at the Stadio Olimpico distributed stickers which showed the girl in a Roma shirt along with anti-Semitic messages. In response, the club organised trips to Auschwitz and a local synagogue, while Lazio players wore Anne Frank t-shirts with the words "No to anti-Semitism" before their 2-1 win over Bologna on Wednesday. Lazio's right-wing ultras, who are being investigated by police, boycotted the tie in Bologna "to avoid being complicit in this media theatre". At the request of the Italian Football Federation, extracts of Anne Frank's diary and Italian Jewish writer Primo Levi's memoir If This Is A Man were read out before all of Wednesday's Serie A fixtures. The tribute was followed by a minute's applause in most stadiums, but the readings were marred by some Juventus ultras who turned their backs to the pitch and sang the Italian national anthem. Meanwhile, some Roma fans attempted to drown out the readings by singing club chants. --- Can't understand the reactions of Juventus and Roma "Ultras" either... Singing through the readings of Anne Frank's diary?

The W. B. Yeats. Poet and one of the foremost figures in 20th century literature. Unless we were having a rap battle, I reckon I could take him.

So will I probably. Much to the detriment of my hobbies, social life, and relationship goals!

Bands like The Kooks, Razorlight, Franz Ferdinand and their ilk are really just so f**king awful. I mean, real dross. They're pretty much the reason I took up smoking at university. Any time one of their songs, or anything similar started playing when I was out I felt compelled to leave the building.

I just completed this quiz. Edit: I did so badly despite thinking that I'd be good, I'm going to remove the score. *blows raspberry*

I genuinely can't.

I'm waiting for a comprehensive written summary of the new features when they're all properly announced before making a call. I'm not overreacting when I say I genuinely cannot watch those f**king sh*t videos. Their sh*ttiness actually detracts from the information that they're trying to convey.

Don't tell me you missed the Baby Squad thread? One of my all time favourites. Maybe you had to be there.

Take the Stone Island badasses over there, show 'em Europe's only big enough for one mediocre King Power-owned football club. Pisses me off that you get the so called old school sitting in Belgium with the in the s.i gear,yet when push comes to shove and it's gonna kick off say 'av got King Power',that's well and fine but then don't wear the clobber to say your a lad if your a has been,most so called lads ain't even as a row,gaur enter that out of 50 lads(hate it when folk say there was 200 there today)only a dozen tops will av it,the rest **** off back to the tavern and av the cheek to say they've just 'had it'!

Seriously. These videos are f**king dreadful.

G'wan, bring it back...

Hadn't heard of it until now. Just read about it, sounds interesting. I took FC Wil 1900 to the Champions League in five seasons in FM16. They're a similar-sized club in the same league.

Sessioned career mode with a mate over the weekend. Did a whole season in two days (mixture of playing and simulating) Really liking the new gameplay. Found it to be much slower than last year's, defending is more balanced - although scoring is much harder. The new additions I like, it's a much more polished management sim. Found that negotiations never got boring. The ability to sign players on pre-contract is great, but we couldn't figure out how to set the player search settings to isolate players with expiring contracts once you've scouted them...

Living in London, I don't drive a lot - mainly just shopping and short journeys - but when I do it's medium-long distance (to Devon and back, and back home to the Citeh). I've owned my VW Bora for the best part of a decade, and as a treat for myself, I'm looking at getting a new (or used) car in the new year. I like hot hatches, and quicker cars, but there's really no point in spending a fortune due the aforementioned lack of use... So I was thinking a new(ish) Skoda Octavia VRS. Anyone had any experience with them?

The additions sound interesting. The press conferences badly need attention, IMO. Just realised, they filmed that segment with Miles Jacobson beside a pub I used to work in when I first moved to London. Their offices are above it. He used to come in and order his lunch on a Friday lunchtime. He was a bit of a tit, if I recall.

Absolute dogsh*t video. Embarrassing stuff. Game developers should never be allowed anywhere near a camera. 100% will buy though.

I listen to the moan in and the Boot Room podcasts the day after they air. They pass the time on a noisy tube commute. I like them, for the most part. Stringer is clearly passionate about the club, and whether we like it or not, he's a decent commentator. I've heard much, much worse. What does irk me is their insistence on replaying his commentary - usually the forced, pre-prepared catchphrases - over and over again. To the point where I just skip entire sections of the podcast when they do re-caps. His "ALLEZ LES BLEUS" line from the Knocky winner vs. Forest that time is still spammed on-air to this day, and every time I hear it I cringe so hard it makes my teeth want to fall out. Or anything from the Champions League matches. Awful. The "games" they've been playing to try and fill dead air are s**t. I'd much rather listen to Roy from Wigston calling in and talking out of his arse.

In terms of features, career mode looks pretty much the same bar a few minor menu and graphical interface tweaks plus the transfer negotiations. I can imagine that the cutscenes will get incredibly tedious, very quickly - especially if there's no variation. Imagine watching this sh*te 20 times on deadline day. Pfft. Will wait to try it before passing judgement but not really expecting any real improvements.

Molla Wague's agent should be hired to handle f**king Brexit negotiations.
