Still can't improve on 7th, which I've now managed to hit 4 or 5 times. I can deal with the speed, just, but I always seem to get rapidly junk-spammed at the point it hits top 10. Think I need to start practicing single-player again, get my groove back, because I know I'm better than this!

7th place finish! I got a bit excited at being in the top 10, so messed up on the next L. Recovered, and then messed up the NEXT L! Annoyingly, 3 others were flashing red when I died. This is bloody brilliant.

All I need to know is how to choose where I send my shit. Or, how to avoid being chosen as the one to whom said shit is sent! Played my 1st game just, while waiting for the girlfriend to get ready, and finished 61st due to a sudden drop of shit which filled my screen. There were "Watch out" lines from all over the place! I can see a lot of gameplay while waiting for other stuff in this one. Matches are quick.

It's still entirely in our own hands, but it does look like we're going to need to win every remaining game because it seems the rest of the Premiership are buying into the "Please not Liverpool" meme, and are just going to roll over against City. I'm really looking forward to being just as unbearable as they're all being right now!

How? My sole game, the "Jump master" suggested half the map, but I couldn't find a way to agree, and then ended up jumping solo. Landed on the other side of a mountain to my team, and just couldn't get near them. Yes, I quit as soon as I died, because shit like this should be obvious. The on-boarding in these games is universally terrible. The "training" teaches you how to play an FPS, which just about everyone downloading it already knows how to do. But what is really needed is a way to learn what every character's ability is before your 1st game, and all the other functional things. Everything except "Shoot shit", basically.

Wow. THAT was how you start a half!

We were piss tonight, but still didn't lose. West Ham played well, and we're still top. Injuries are definitely taking their toll on us, but it's nowhere near over.

Keita really owes us something now. Been wasteful going forwards, and that was simply terrible defending.

Lallana was brilliant, there. Now we need at least 2 more to shut the offside whingers up. Or not. Fuck 'em, we're long overdue some luck!

I wouldn't focus on the length. One of my failures yesterday came in turn 6. I have been swamped unexpectedly by an "event" once so far, and I think it was in turn 10 or 11. Most importantly, it was pretty much my own fault for ignoring the warning I was given by Emeric right before it happened. I'm under no illusions that I probably should have survived that particular mission the first time, and the failure was down to my own actions. Ignore rankings, they don't seem to mean anything. Spend longer getting your troops into position, even if that means waiting sometimes. Whatever you do, don't make the mistake of thinking your commander is a win button, because the entire world will attack them if they get the chance! What I learned yesterday was basically to play slower!

Act 2 Mission 2 had me demoralised, it seemed that no matter what I tried there was just an infinite stream of giant trees and archers, and a complete inability to keep my dogs alive, or any town captured. I must have played it 5 times today, but just finally beat it with a D ranking. I still don't know if this is worth striving to improve, but I don't even see how I could at this point! It's clearly a very good game, but I do wonder if there's something that I'm missing. You all seem to be sailing through so quickly, how come I met such a wall so soon into the game?

As expected, this is excellent. As also expected, I'm really bad at it. Is there any benefit to 3-starring or S-ranking missions? I literally just failed in Mission 4 because the whole world attacked Mercia in what would have been their last turn if she'd survived. That seemed a touch unfair.

I put the Switch on this morning, hoping it would be available to buy, then saw it was still pre-order. Checked in here, and believed @deKay saying ti would be 2pm. Therefore, my Switch is still at home. Bugger.

I'm not sure Leicester are even playing in this match.

Pressure, you say?
