Jobi Juan has been confirmed as the new Nottingham Forest boss.

Former Marseille boss Jobi, 32, is expected to be unveiled at the City Ground within the next 48 hours after the club's announcement on Friday night.

A statement from club chairman Nicholas Randall said: "We are very pleased to have reached terms with Jobi Juan to become the manager of Nottingham Forest. We have given him full control over all future transfers.
He is an exceptional candidate who fully subscribes to the vision of the club's owners and Board for the future of the club”.

Jobi commented saying “Our objective is clear: we want to continue building this fantastic football club and lead it to a bright future. The wonderful supporters of the club deserve success and a return to a top League, and what better way to do that than winning the Premier division in the Fantasy League. We are all working hard off the pitch to achieve this goal and we believe that together we will ensure that we can get the job done on the field of play”.

England exit at the group stage. Again!

Much more was expected from England at the 2018 World Cup. A young squad, full of talented players, none more so than Harry "That's mine" Kane. When the draw came out, England were drawn with Mr England himself ImmortalTanz. England started well in the group, taking 7 points from a possible 9, needing just a draw against lowly Chile. Tanz was quietly confident in his chances of progression, due to the amount of ammo he had upfront, in the likes of Raheem Sterling. The game started with Chile dominating, 2-0 up inside the first 15 mins. Could England respond?

Storm leads his Uruguay to the knockouts

We caught with storm shortly after the last game of the group tonight when Poland beat the favourites of the group Germany 8-1 , Storm said he was over the moon with his team the way they played in the groups stage but the hard work starts now in the knockout rounds he said his 2 strikers were absolutely brilliant and both got a far share of the goals but he said we need to tighten up the back line in next game if they are to go further in the World Cup .

Jaminator Takes Win as Storm Leads the Tour

Week 2 on the AG Tour proved to be a little tougher than the opening event the golfers at the AG Reboot Invitational found it difficult to break par. The steep sloping greens at Victory Village made it difficult to score birdies consistantly , and with some of the participants playing off an unforgiving handicap it was a challenging event.

@Dx I Jaminator put his poor opening week behind him and flew round the first 18 holes with a -4, which was matched by the impressive @deareststorm. It would prove to be a great foundation for the 2nd round and they wouldnt be caught, coming 1st and 2nd respectively. @Berty44 also went under par first time round with 71, but could only manage +2 on the next round. That not look a good score but in context was well above most of the field and secured him 3rd place for the week.

Xbox Ranking System Launched

If you haven't already noticed our new ranking system is now set up. You can have access via the Rankings tab at the top of the forum. On clicking that you will see that we already have a set up for FIFA 18. This can also extend to other single player games so we will be looking at those in the near future. Games such as TGC Golf, Rocket League etc etc.

Each link is pretty much self explanatory but ill give a summary each anyway.

• Rankings - This is total rankings for FIFA 18.This page will show (once more tournament are in) a full list of members and what you have achieved during the lifetime of this game on the site.
• Events - The rankings are calculated by the events which are added. So for example last Friday's tournament ha already been added. If you click each event then you can see how entered and what points they gained. There is also a matches tab which shows all games and scores played in that tournament.
• Matches - Again easy enough to understand. Is a full list of matches for FIFA 18. You can also you the various filters to customise your search.
• Teams - This will be used at a later date. We will be looking to add teams to the rankings so for things like 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3 Rocket League or Pro Cubs 2 vs 2.

Like I said its very much a work in progress but initial thoughts from my point of view are its easy enough to use and will be a decent addition to the site. It will not but used for league games in the near future however I am looking at an import from our leagues into it so hopefully that can be done.

If you have any questions then please do ask.
