I played COD4 multiplayer right up to the gold cross and then some. Awesome game and COD:W@W should consume just as many hours. I don't see any more camping than there was in COD4 and good aggressive players will always win out in the end, but I agree the spawning is absolutely horrible, especially in headquarters. Up until recently I was also enjoying the fact I was only getting onto Australia- and New Zealand-based games. They are lag free and were not easy to find on COD4, so there was a lot of going in and out of games, killing off my win-loss ratio (not that it mattered... it was the time wasted which I hated). With the recent update to the game, multiplayer access has expanded to the rest of the world like in COD4. Yesterday it took a good hour before I finally found an Australia-based game. Awful, just awful.

I could be wrong, but it probably thinks your IP is from Poland. I used to get http://uk.youtube.com, and from what I was reading, that happened because my ISP recently acquired some new IP addresses (or range) to use and YouTube thought that range was from the UK. 19.

It seems whenever a player goes to a club perceived to be "lower" than the alternative club, people get on the player's back. Bellamy got a lot of flack from supporters of other clubs for picking Rovers over Everton. The thing is though, in this case Liverpool was supposed to be his boyhood club. That is why he wanted to move originally, as I understood it. Thus his going to West Ham, coupled with what I thought were "smalling the club down" (as opposed to "bigging the club up" ) in the couple of years leading up to the move (especially in the Australian media), annoyed me at the time. However, the whole deal was done and dusted long ago and it won't change, so it is no use getting riled up about it any longer.

The Early 90s: A Restrospective - It's 2.88MB in size, but definitely worth a look. It's more of a geeky look at the early 90s: television, games, consumer products, etc.

Surely it's the case that we don't know the full details. I trust Sparky to handle the situation, whatever it is, in whatever way he sees fit. He's no sucker.

-- Emphasis added. From the article Emerton goes Dutch. I assumed he was being rested in those first two games, rather than being host to an injury.

Well, they did win the Champions League together.

I attended a birthday two or three weeks ago and played the Wii for a good portion of the night. It is fairly entertaining and very open to the casual gamer. I still don't know whether it is more of a casual console than a console you buy and then commit a large amount of time to get your money's worth, but it has gone up tremendously in my estimation.

Bentley is being eaten alive across the internet at the moment. It's an absolutely disgraceful treatment of a player who has done nothing wrong by acknowledging his human limitations and letting Stuart Pearce (who is a joke of a manager anyway) know of his decision not to play ahead of time. Most people are not acknowledging that Bentley did not leave the squad in the lurch at the moment and/or are blasting him for having the audacity to be honest. The blue and white halves must warp a lot of minds.

My thoughts exactly. Actually, I thought both the second and third were fairly rushed. The first was definitely the best one. Saying that, it is a brilliant trilogy and I recommend it to any bookworm. I read the trilogy years ago (about six years ago in my estimation) and I no doubt will probably read it once again in years to come.
