What did Sergio Aguero ever do wrong?

The media needs a target, never ashamed to create one when required, and Aguero seems to have never matched any of the categories that enable the media to pounce on him as hero or villain.  He never seems to cause any unrest in the team and is never subject to any negative press. For the papers and plastic TV pundits, the only thing he seems to do wrong is doing everything right. 
 He netted 4 goals at Spurs in October 2014, and 10 in 3 games during the later season.  He won the Player of the Year award in the same, ironically the only year he didn't score more than 30 league goals. 

All this should imply that he be lauded like a Rooney or a Suarez  He scores reliably,  Harry Kane may be top scorer, but he has played more minutes than Aguero, and for a Statto-obsessive goal per minute means more in terms of consistent talent than goals in total.  He holds the record, above Thierry Henry, for goals per minute in the Premier League.


After joining Man City in July 2011, Aguero has been hugely consistent and has already become the club's leading ever goalscorer.  While it's true that he is not the Premier League's top scorer this season, it's also true that unlike Vardy and Kane, his club can afford to rotate and rest him rather than relying only on him to lead the line.  Vardy, in particular, is often a carrier for his team. 
 He scored six times over five matches in the Champions League group stage helping City to their first ever knockout stage of the competition.  This is all despite a succession of minor injuries and the afore-mentioned rotation system at his club.


Since the new regime reignited city, there are few names that could be picked ahead of his as being a fundamental part of the new revolution so far.  It cannot be argued that Aguero receives far too few plaudits for the consistent service of his club.  Even though he usually outperforms his more extravagant or attention-seeking rivals he remains one of the less-praised players in the EPL.

Why did it all go wrong, Tom Hardy?

In the second part of this expose on the faltering careers of past acting greats we focus on one who many may argue is not yet a great at all, but still yet to achieve such heights.  Well, a dip it may be, and maybe less serious even than Denzel's recent form ( see here ) but one has to admit that going on previous works, Tom Hardy's career has certainly seemed to hit a low point lately. Mr Hardy's break-through role must surely be the third and final Christopher Nolan Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises in which he played a small human-sized version, minus the drug craze and addiction, of Bane.  In this film, he certainly presented his acting chops to the universe and also cemented his reputation as a man not afraid to beef up for a role.  After star turns in such as Star Trek Nemesis, as well as the excellent Steven Spielberg TV show Band of Brothers one would be expected to assume Tom was headed for the very top. What can we say about the awful and pointles...

Walking Dead Reboot Update News

Check here for the Walking Dead Reboot Update news. SEE HERE FOR THE STORY DETAILS.  Currently, this story is classed as Just A Rumour. BUY WALKING DEAD MERCHANDISE FROM EBAY 22:37 4-3-18 As it stands currently, the story that Fox was planning to remake The Walking Dead with big-name stars in the main roles and famous directors attached to each and every one-hour episode has turned out to be reliable.  A google search has revealed mostly hits to alternative news sites and a few really far out blogs only.  11:08 5-3-18 Still no confirmations on the story.  Right now the stars mentioned are scheduled to be involved with other projects, so unless it's a big secret we have to conclude the story is false.

Don't Forget Your Staging

Kerbal Space Program is the best game for children or adults.  This is a simple fact.  There can be no dispute.  Developed by Squad, a software company based in Mexico City and famous previously for pretty much nothing as they seem to have been spending day and night on this awesome magnum opus. So with setup and mode pushed aside, when you, or your inquisitive child, with a brain all ready to soak up inspiration and creativity and gosh darn it even rocket science, you will initially see this screen for building your works of genius.  This is the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) and this is where your first mishaps will surely take place.   Note how easily the components simply stack together, like internet-age stickle bricks.  This means that building a rocket - or what neither looks nor functions like any kind of space vehicle - easy and fun and hardly ever frustrating.  While this game starts perfectly simply, the learning curve i...
