I rest everyone for 1 day after every game. When I remember anyway...It helps a lot. But also I only play my 1st team in the league and play the backups in every cup competition.

Is there a patch planned for any time soon?

Yes. Albrighton, Heskey, Delph. Where would they all play? Well Collins would replace Clark at DC. Albrighton would come in at RW for Ireland moving Downing to the left. Heskey could play up top or on the bench. Delph/NRC would be much better in midfield than Hogg/Herd. And the others are much much better options off the bench, rather than Herd/Lowry/Osbourne etc.

Simply because of one freakish match against Newcastle. What's your point?

Yes. Albrighton, Heskey, Delph.

Put James Collins and Albrighton back in next week and it's the team that absolutely slaughtered Man Utd just 8 days ago. We'll give Arsenal a good game if nothing else. EDIT - By the way, why was Collins out today?

When he brought Pires on, I thought he should have shifted Young to the wing and played Pires in the hole. Pires doesn't have the legs to play on the wing any more. Don't think he ran once, jogging or walking everywhere. Young looked good on the few occasions he drifted out to the wing as well. Not to mention how good Downing was on the left last week, and fairly inefective this. And who the hell voted Ireland as MOTM!?

Expected a loss before and not surprised now. Stupid goal to give away because of Warnock's retaliation and then bad defending for the 2nd. Had a few decent attempts from long range, never really troubled Blackburn's defence though. People need to realise though that this team is on it's last legs at the moment. Things will definitely improve when we get players back, and fully fit (Gabby isn't yet). It will take time for Houllier to change the way this group of players play and think. When he does though, I am sure we will be better than we were under O'Neill. EDIT - Oh and one more thing, don't ever let Ireland near the team again until he shows some passion and team work. Rubbish!

Warnock is useless. New left back needed. I knew though once that challenge from Diouf had happened he would retaliate. Surprised he didn't get booked. Ireland has played some lovely balls in the final third, but what's point of that when he gives it away in the middle of the park so easily. Bannan needs to stop trying to play the 40 yard Hollywood balls all the time. Nice to see us playing it of defence for a change instead of HOOF!!

Also our game was on TV, theirs wasn't.

Just got the full game. First 2 games, 2 penalties. Both missed wide of the post.

Have you reported them on the SI forums though. If they don't find out about them, then they can't fix them.

This sounds bugged as hell.

Referee was shocking. Dunne was as bad. Ireland pretty bad. Ash was really good 2nd half, much better than other games this season. Delfouneso looked a bit shit in the first half and I slated him saying he'll never make it. Then scores a perfectly good goal ruled out, then scores a brilliant goal. First touch was immense. Got the win, and that's the most important thing. Roll on Saturday!

How are you finding out what the CA/PA is?

He's just signed a new contract. Said last week he wanted out after being benched for ages. Then gets played, was rubbish. Either signed a new contract because they believe in him or so they can get top dollar when they sell. He's getting on a bit now.

Well it's working well because Petrov/NRC/Sidwell in the middle win the ball, lay it off to wingers/AMC and bob's your uncle. Don't concede many and score a fair few. I'm 4th in league with a game in hand which will put me 2nd. Record is 9-6-1. Went 14 unbeaten then lost to Man C away. Through to Knockout stages in EL. Through to LC Semi-Final vs Bolton (Who are 5th in Prem). Other semi is Chelsea/Burnley. Gabby's got 9 goals/4 assists in 20 games in all comps. Fonz's got 9 goals/7 assists in 17 games in all comps. EDIT - Draw for EL knockout round just made. Got Schalke, 1st leg at home. And if I get through that I've got PAOK or Lyon. Of course won't be able to do all that until I have the full game.

Exactly the same in my game. Moved to Napoli and is now Turkish, made his debut in August 2010. Weird. Didn't know either.

Don't give much away do you. I struggled a fair bit on FM10. Most the tactics I created were shit, but the first one I created on 11 works a treat. Well happy.

How high roughly? 160/170/180/190

I'm not surprised about Bale. After Wednesday it was only going to get worse for you lot too. What's his PA?

Anyone had a real moan about The Villa over on SI yet? What they say if did?

Well I don't have much to moan about. Sitting pretty 3rd in league. And progressing well in both cups despite using the 2nd string.

What have you got to do wtih Southampton Andy?
