    I'll be waiting a while before buying the PS5. There's life in the PS4 yet. Only recently got my hands on a copy of Red Dead Redemption II.

    Just picked up The Last of Us 2 today myself. Currently clock watching till I can get out of this place for the weekend. Between that and the footie I'll be incognito till Monday!

    I'll be the same, I'll be going mostly nocturnal for a few nights while my brother keeps a normal schedule and plays it during the day, sort of game that looks better when its dark so I'm happy enough

    If I go to bed while it's still dark then it'll be a shame, I'm hoping to make it to 5 or 6 :pac:

    I ended up starting Binary Domain last night.
    Don't know when I'll pick up Last of Us. Will avoid spoilers until a site posts a thread or article with the headline like "Why Ellie was right to set off that nuclear bomb (Spoilers inside)"

    *I know very little about the plot so if that's an actual spoiler, it's purely coincidental. :)

    And Happy Birthday Jay!

    Binary Domain is a great game. Cheesy as hell but great fun to play.

    In theory.

    Aer Lingus have said they'll refund fully, but could take weeks (we're still waiting for a refund for a trip due at Easter).

    The villa rental crowd let us transfer our deposit towards next year.

    So not "down" anything. Just a bummer about not being able to go.

    First world problems, though.

    Looking at how bad Florida is right now, I'm just hoping it's all better for next year....

    I've heard Aer Lingus are refunding by way of 110% voucher that can be used within 18 months, but that may be for specific trips.

    Man, I know how i'd be if I was in the same shoes dude, I feel for ya!

    I don't think I'd travel outside Ireland to anywhere this year, even going to another county is worrying me

    I hope no one loses out on booked holidays and flights

    If flights were cancelled, then you could seek a full refund or a 110% voucher. If flights weren't, you were only entitled to the voucher.

    Since mine were cancelled, I asked for the refund.

    Frank Lampard did what Steven Gerrard could never do and won the league title for Liverpool.

    One of the biggest rips in the world of English soccer is now null and void

    Long overdue for the club. Some fantastic past players failed too win it (Folwer, Gerrard and many more)

    Turn in your MU badge on your way out please!

    It is very well deserved but I can't be happy about it.

    I'm not happy but I will say it's not massively bothering me either.

    It frustrates me from a United point of view how badly standards have slipped for us, and how badly the club has been run in recent years.

    But....I think with Pool, it's been obvious since Xmas they had it won. So it's been easy enough to accept it was happening months ago. It was only a formality yesterday.

    We've had about 7 months to get used to it so hard to be too annoyed at this stage. Hopefully United can continue to play well, finish the season strong & get Champions League for next season.

    And if we could hurry up and finalise something for the League of Ireland return that'd be great.

    As a Liverpool fan Gerry I accept your frustration and wouldn't have it any other way. :P

    Have to say most Man U fans I know have been quite gracious and yeah, maybe it's partly down to having time to accept it. Just don't go coining cringey words like "manutd-splaining" as I seen some clown on Twitter who calls himself a Utd fan use. Ye really do have bad luck with the type that follow your team. :P

    30 years and then the poxy Corona was quite the wait but the Pool got there in the end, it's a beautiful thing. Was off Friday so pretty much been in a drunk/stoned haze since big Willian stuck the peno, think it's only starting to sink in now. Get that statue up!

    Of all the managers Liverpool had over the years, Klopp has been the most likeable for me and fully deserves his success, only raging that United didn't sign him after the sacking of Moyes.

    Gonna be hard to pick a player of the year, for me I'd like to see Bobby Firmino get the recognition he deserves with winning player of the year. Hugely important player for Liverpool and does a lot of selfless work on the pitch.
