lol its not 'shit' at all mate its a class game, fair enough not everyones cup of tea but i think its ace. Edit: do you have a PS3 by any chance??

The shooting aspect of it has been improved greatly, as has the way you give orders to your team. Getting shit-hot reviews...9.5 upwards. GOTY contender already apparently.

Cant believe theres not a thread for this game!! Im getting it later when i finish work as the local independant (dodgy) games retailer is selling it early. Cant wait!!

Thats a point...are we just going to allow Harewood to run out his contract and levave for nothing?? But back to our strikers (dont consider Harewood our player any more) Gabby is our best striker - never going to be prolific but his work rate is good and he causes problems. Carew is a good player but hot and cold, we could do better. Heskey...dont know what to say i think there is a good player in there somewhere but he just doesnt fit into our style of play, and of course, he couldnt hit a cows arse with a banjo to be honest. Delfouneso is a good player and although i really think he should get more game time its clear to me that MoN thinks hes not ready. So the verdict?? Get rid of Heskey and Carew, bring in 2 more strikers - 1 young and one more experienced. And MoN also more willing to give Delf (and Delph for that matter) more games and drop Gabby or at least sub him if hes not doin the business.

James Milner was the original songwriter of the Proclaimers' smash hit "one hundred miles". Only in the original version, Milners lyrics read: 'i would run five hundred miles' instead of walk...but the proclaimers changed it because they thought it sounded too far fetched

Sorry BOF but this is a crazy statement. You seriously believe that?? Hes a solid defender who has got a bit of class about him - can pick a pass, nice control, composed, good in the tackle and likes to get forward. O.K...his positioning might be a bit off at the minute (cant say that ive witnessed this myself) but as somebody else said it takes time to learn your team-mates games. He deffo offers something to the team. Hes played 3 games FFS...and i for one have been impressed with him. Edit: and for 2.5m...i definitely have no complaints. Good signing.

Funny that because i think hes better going forward - whilst still being pretty solid at the back. Ive been happy with him since he joined us, got real quality on the ball and was pinging some lovely cross field passes to Ash Young against Fulham. Rarely gives the ball away aswel from what ive seen. No need to rush Luke back. He needs time.

<<<<<< Gotta go for Jimmy Milner 8) Young is, on his day, the best winger in the league. But those days are too few and far between. He blows hot and cold and when its not going his way he starts to moan and dive. Not good. Saying that though, i would say he is the best deliverer of balls into the box from free kicks and corners bar none. At least that side to his game is concistent. Milner is just Milner. A propper 2 footed old school stlye winger who never stops running and always gives 100%. I really do think hes quality and give him another year or so in playing in our team he will be our most important player (if he isnt already)

Yup. As Don Revie used to do...compile detailed dossiers on how teams played and how to stop them effectively. And yes...ive watched The Damned United recently. Great flik

Terrible result. Shorey had a shocker. Heskey is cack. Young has lost his spark. Friedel looks shaky. Gabby should be nowhere near our starting eleven. Petrov outclassed by Koumas. Im going to get smashed.

Gareth Barry must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Had an accumulator today and guess what?? Villa only team letting me down.

Steven fooking Sidwell?? Seriously?? Oh my goodness.

I wonder if Beye is actually starting to regret leaving Newcastle????

Jesus. That is all.

Im sorry but i was under the impression there are 2 halves to a football match. MoN will give the lads a bollocking. We will come out second half and score 3 or 4. We will win the game. Chill.

FFS...you still banging on about this?! Its the Wigan match thread how about getting behind your team for a change?!!!

To be fair Wol, the lads only just started growing pubes Seriously though...ive just got back from the pub so i didnt watch the game, but by all accounts Delph had a stormer. Did he play the whole game?? Any links to highlights??

HAHAHAHAHAHAH Del Piero you arrogant clearing in the woods!!! serves you right!!

Sidwell is **** useless

Here we gooo...

Dont worry OBE...we are quite aware you gave us the heads up on most of them :winkold:

Albrighton looks a propper player. Think Milners gonna have to pull his socks up this season.

The goal was Lichaj's fault, but its irrelevant really. The whole team were shite.

At least we didnt lose 6-1 to Orient eh?
