Before the team roll up their sleeves, take into consideration that Gabby is now a winger and Hesky started against one of the fastest teams in the Premier League. I second this. I have been to plenty of games to notice the players look shite when they are set up negatively. Give them attacking options I.e Fulham last 10 minutes and we look good. It McLeish tactics ruining the players. Anyone can see NZog and Ireland look good together, but he never keeps the same team, **** me we are more than 3 quarters through and he still don't know his first team. The more I hear the more I fear. How the hell can he know his first team yet ? I mean he is still trying to work out the players positions for **** sake ! Gabby is a centre forward but he regularly starts on the wing Hesky starts against Arsenal with Weinmann on the bench Herd started as fullback against Man City ( a team that is guareenteed to attack ) while Warnock was on the bench. When McDipstick first took over Albrighton spent the first 5-6 games on the bench while Ireland played on the wing. :evil:

I have Civ 1/2/3/4 but I won't buy 5 cause I am against the principle of steam C (check the steam thread ) I forgot about C and C though. Will definately get that when it comes out over here I have the first Shogun, but I can't get my head around those Japaneese units. I have Rome TW and expansions and Medieval and expansions. they are great games.I did'nt get Empire TW or Napoleon TW for the steam issue.

Strange that you should mention "transitional" I watched a Browns game last season and one of their fans held up a banner that said something like " rebuilding since 1951 "

I am confused ?! It was the 91st minute,we were losing 3-0 and I sat there smiling and thinking to myself, I cant wait to see the reaction of the Arsenal players when The Chosen One makes a couple of "calculated substitutions " and we end up winning 3-4. It worked last week ,but nothing happened this week ? so what is going on ? I cant figure it out at all.

I am not on facebook but give me the address and I will try it out,it sounds interesting

Its just that,like I said its my game so I dont want steam telling me what to do with MY GAME.I mean if they give me say 20% of what I paid for it then they are intitled to ASK me to do this or that. Put it this way.If I borrow a book from you, then you can tell me to look after it,cause its your book. But if I buy my owne book then you have no right to tell me what to do with it. Agree ? Can you see where I am comming from or not ?

I'll think about that one,I tried Kennedy Approach on the old C64 and that game was very good but I did try an airline manager game once ( cant think of the name ) but I did'nt like it.You had to do the whole lot,build hangers,runways,maintenance sheds etc etc etc

What are you actually supposed to do in this game ? I mean after you complete VP then what ?

Can anyone recomend some good management games ? Sports management or war.Older games or new ones. I have Football Manager 2009,2010,2011 and 2012 and I also have Making History,Axis and Allies and the Civilization games.

I found trying to manage Villa too hard as all the teams in the Pl are good,so I tried managing a team in Norway but found that too hard as well cause you never have enough money to do what you want.I have now been managing a team in the Indian National League and I find that quite good.There are 14 teams in the division the top 4 are good the bottom 2 are not very good and the others are ok.In other words its not too hard to win games, and you win/draw more than you lose.I think you should start here and move your way up as you get better at the game. Hope this helps

I am playing FM 2011 now. I just dont like the idear that I paid for the game,I owne the game,its my game.BUT before I play single player I have to D/L updates, then I have to do other stuff just to play offline. I bought the boxed version from the shop,why cant I just go home,install it and play it......Is that asking too much ? :evil:

People with a trollyfull of stuff getting in the express lane in the supermarket

Why does Gabby have to go wide ? cant we play with 2 strikers for crying out loud.

He will deal with it the way he deals with other issues. It will be the players/fans/supporters fault

Spurs are much better than us. Its Norwich first season in the top, they will impress till the very end. I wish we played at home the way Liverpool play at home. So none of these games look like 3 points to me. spurs at home could be an easy 3 points? That's hilarious. you know we won't get anything from that game. mcleish will set up like he did against man city or he may even go for the 6 defenders approach like last time against spurs You know that? Wow, you'll probably get evens on that, how much will you put on? Watching us beat Spurs will be good Cause I got pissed off watching us draw with Wigan

but you wanted Randy to spend loads of money to get us into Champions League No not necessarly the champions league,just to be challenging for something,anything

Chelsea I hate teams that try to buy the title Man C I hate teams that try to buy the title West Ham Cheats G.Rangers For their style of football under W.Smith Everton Cause I do

Have to go to a wedding this saturday so will have to tape the Villa game and watch it on sunday.Could be a good thing, I can fast forward all the Arsenal goals and it will look like we drew 0-0

and he is spot on. this is reason many football fans are alienated with football no he isn't. a manager should encourage and inspire his players to get the best out of them. Mcleish doesn't drive about in a cheap car. pot, kettle springs to mind. the man is an idiot What are you talking about ? McDipstick encourages the players ........ Before the start of every game he tells them. Right lads, let's get out there and equalise ?! Next season you will see the Villa players take their shirt off and run twords the Holt End and jump all over each other etc etc etc whenever we get a corner.

This discussion has taken an odd sort of direction now but what this shows is how MON managed to lick the squad into shape and make it more effective in his first season. That match 28 squad went on to achieve W4 D5 L1 for the rest of the season. Sure, MON had money to spend to strengthen the squad (don't recall any complaints about that at the time) but he had also brought on previously underperforming players and had found a better mix. McLeish has had a decent amount of money to spend- £3.5m on Given, £9.5m on N'Zogbia - as well as starting off with a much stronger squad, and arguably he hasn't made as much of the resources available to him as MON did. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe McLeish will end the season as strongly as MON did, in which case I will be the first to change my judgement. But as things stand, it looks as if McLeish started off with a stronger 1st XI than MON in 2006/7 (after a pre-season that MON didn't have), has been able to spend to strengthen the squad, and hasn't taken the team as far as MON did in his first season. One of the reasons for that is that he has no tactical sence at all.He keeps playing the players out of position and he has players on the bench that should be on the field.He plays 4-3-3 with a team that is set up to play 4-5-1 and he does that at home. I remember not too long ago when opposition teams were lucky to get a point at Villa Park ! now they must look forward to it as an easy 3 points. Geez how we have slipped. :oops:

I have the feeling that this thread will reopen early next season.As far as I am comcerned we are safe this season cause the teams below us are crap.Wigan could not get 3 points to save their soules,Wolves are worse off with their new manager and QPR have the worst fixture list of anyone.Blackburn will finish above us though. :oops:

the holte end will NEVER sing his name True. But herein lies the problem. We could play like Barcelona and he would still get grief. Which is why all this 'its not because hes ex bluenose' is a load of bollocks. The 'negative' football thing is just a convenient excuse to lay into him. We havent played good football for fookin donkeys years so i dont see why all of a sudden Eck gets grief. Actually...i do see why, like i said its cuz of the ex bluenose thing. Probably best for all concerned if he does leave because a section of fans just cant get past his bluenose past. **** all to do with the apparent negative football we play Havent played good football for years ?????? we finished 6th 3 seasons in a row less than a hundred years ago :shock:

I can't see us finishing above Norwich and Fulham
