Thanks to all for the pics!

It's actually quite good to see Rafa back. I don't consider myself a huge fan, but his funny ways usually make for decent telly. I'm still rather fond of Bolo Zenden too, and would probably take him back as a player even now. I assume he celebrated getting the assistant's job in this style... Of course, this will all pale into insignificance should the recent rumours of Eva Carneiro's exit from the club turn out to be true.

We heard it here first, Roman's been in touch. Very tough on Di Matteo. His team selection last night may have been tantamount to a resignation letter, but the speed at which he was placed under pressure by Abramovich was bordering on indecent. How can you sack a man who's just delivered your holy grail? I can't believe any manager worth his salt would be prepared to work at Chelsea now, which is why I think 'Arry is favourite for the job. After all, a top, top club needs a top, top, top man.

It's a perfectly valid question but quite honestly, there's not a lot for the mods to explain. I'm not aware of any 'official' BZ line on the issue, so I'd venture a guess that it's simply a personal preference of the boss to not have it. For what it's worth though, reputation systems aren't really my cup of tea either. I'm not saying there's no upside to them, but they seem to encourage an 'I'm better than you' mentality, which for me, we can do without. One of the things I most like about BZ is that it's not elitist.

As long as the same stuff doesn't appear more than once within a five page range, it's not a problem. The forum's content includes many hundreds of thousands of images and it's impossible to completely avoid ending up with a certain amount of duplicates, but please do check back the aforementioned five pages before posting pics, particularly in a busy topic like this one. The SNL photoshoot in question was posted twice within three pages, which is why it was removed. Another reposted image from the new album artwork was okay to stay as it was posted in a bigger size.

I may be biased since I didn't care for any of the Brosnan movies bar 'Goldeneye', but for my money Craig is easily the best Bond since Connery.

Thanks Jennka!

It feels like some of the 'wrong' games from the 'right' franchises have been picked, and it looks like sequels were off limits unless historically significant (Mario 64) or a huge leap forward from their predecessors (Grand Theft Auto 3, Street Fighter II). Broadly speaking though, the list is growing on me. There are probably at least ten other games I'd like to see on it, but quite honestly I can't find another ten that I'd get rid of to make room for them.

Trailer #2...

So I've been watching S5 with a slight feeling that Observer invasion came out of nowhere. How wrong I was...

So, what do we think of the list? I'm not sure I agree with all the selections, but splitting it into decades was an excellent idea. It eases the obvious problem of comparing a Pacman to a GTA.

Not until early-ish next year apparently, but they did debut another new track on the Jools Holland show last week. http://youtu.be/JSyz3X0pifM

Wow, we put the ball in Fulham's net three times and they only put it in ours once. I think there's a word for that, but I can't remember what it is.
