Just as well he held off to get a better move.

Apparently it is going to be used to to store wind turbines for a new wind farm nearby and we should be getting money for it.

Hopefully he can strike up a lethal partnership with Ryan Gauld.

This is the one I bought (No longer available on Argos or I would have supplied the link). What would I recommend? Good question. Buying a cheap laptop and getting stadia was perfect for me. The laptop only gets turned on if I’m going to play FM, so I just couldn’t justify paying £500-600 for one that could run the game at the speed the google servers can. Though you do need to have a decent internet connection and pay £9 a month for Stadia so I can see why some people would be put off by that. I shall it on the fence and say if you are willing to pay/can afford to pay for a laptop that runs the game easily then that is the way to go but the stadia option is an excellent alternative.

It’s nights like this that make me glad I picked the Falcons to be my NFL team.

I’ve probably just conceded the most annoying goal in all my years of playing FM/CM, which is probably going on 15 years now. Playing away to Roma who have had a flying start to the season so I set my wing backs to specifically mark the 2 wide attacking midfielders. All was going well until I had a corner. I have my 2 wing backs and my DM to stay back which is normally decent cover. This time though, the ball gets cleared away and as soon as the striker starting the counter my 2 wing backs dart forward to mark the players they were asked to, leaving it 1 on 1 which results in an easy goal. I’m annoyed as technically they’ve done exactly what I’ve asked them to do but surely they must be a bit of common sense in those situations to have a 3 v 1 instead of a 1v 1 to mark players who are at the other end of the pitch who will have no influence on that attack.

How can they be brand new if they are shirts from previous seasons?

You have the Panthers playing twice! Seahawks are at the Falcons.

Cheers. I realised about half an hour after posting that I’d made an arse of it.

Is this happening tonight?

I’m 10 seasons into my save and he is excellent. He never made it at a top club for some reason though, despite have an average rating of over 7 every season. He left Porto for Bayern for £60 million, left for Barca for around the same a year later and then again a year later he went to Lyon where he has spent the last 4 years. Scoring about 20 goals a year.

I should be at Edgebaston for the T20 blast finals day right now.

Certainly didn’t see that result coming after the first 10 overs of the Australian innings.

Either day works for me.

I’m in. (ICTFC)

I am one of these idiots. Signed up for the free trial, read 1 or 2 articles and totally forgot about it. Only realised once the money came out of my account and now feel like I need to read more just to feel like it isn’t a waste of money. Safe to say it isn’t working.

I will happily give it another go.

Tennents should use that picture as an advertisement. Just beautiful.

I can do any night mentioned but is it possible to start at quarter past 8?

I know the press conferences are a mess but my most recent one is just a joke. I finished second in the Euro Cup 2 group so was drawn against one of the dropouts of the Europa League. They asked me how I felt going up against the lowest scorers and then the best defence when they haven’t even played in the competition. Another thing I’ve noticed is during the game, your assistant offers advice etc which is fine. Was told I should man mark the opponents AML which I was happy to do. I thought the obvious thing to do would be to put my right wing back on him but instead they decided to put a centre mid on him. What the hell is that all about.

I presume the Hearts fans will be boycotting this thread?

The only positive I can think of this is that he will have signed on the cheap as he and his mrs can move back to Aviemore.

The reaction on twitter can’t be described as a shock.

I will give it a go if you are still needing someone.

Neil Lennon is currently the Inter manager. I must say I’ve not done this intentionally, but he hates me for not playing a loan player enough (because he has been shite). Beat them 2-0 at home which was the first time I’d ever beaten Inter. Just before the second game at the San Siri he starts slating me in the press conference. Absolutely buzzing to come away with a 1-0 win and him saying I got under his skin which influenced his decision making .
