I use F3 on my Mac to get back to the desktop mate. Or you can swipe upwards with four fingers on the trackpad.

I love the optimism here

Gabby has a point to prove as much as RHM has a point to prove. I would much rather we are giving RHM the time on the pitch to prove he has got what it takes for this club than giving Gabby another shot. Gabby at his best was fast, for the last few years he hasn't been and with the added weight and lack of footballing brain this has shown. RHM is fast, he also has a footballing brain and during pre-season he looked brilliant. The kid is a younger version of Gabby and could potentially be better than him. I hope we don't go down the route of selling off a youth prospect just to give a player who has let us down for years be given another opportunity.

I feel so young reading through this thread... I like it

Also watched Arrival last night, halfway through I thought it was brilliant.... By the end I put it down as an average movie, As everyone has said it could have been so much more.

Timesplitters was brilliant!

I'll go with the games I've spent most time playing over the years as well. A lot of these won't be on other lists I would guess! Still have games like Fallout 3 & 5, Skyrim, Arkham Asylum to play so they could replace some of these in the next year! Zelda Ocarina of Time - Addicted to this game as a kid GTA V - Favorite of the series Elders Scroll: Oblivion - Superb, still have Skyrim to play and so looking forward to getting hold of the remastered version! Red Dead Redemption - Such a good game and looking forward to playing it through again before the new one is released Conflict Desert Storm - This game and the series as a whole, I spent hours playing these through in multiplayer with my brother. I would guess it has aged horribly. Football Manager - Stuck this one down as an overall, CM & FM combined I would dread to think how many hours I have spent on them combined Witcher 3 - Still playing this and will be for a while, ridiculously good game with a huge amount to do Goldeneye - The ultimate FPS Diddy Kong Racing - Again I spent hours and hours playing this back on the N64 Mario 64 - First game I ever owned and was blown away by it

Haha, it could be considered cheating I guess... as could attribute masking being turned off The site is just where people share their tactics they have had success with and it saves plugging all the details of it in manually. As I said though if you don't have the players for the formation then this won't work, and it still involves a bit of tweaking during games at times.

For anyone struggling this year (as I was last week), search on google for TFF Warlord, this is a tactic you can download and add into FM17. Formation is 4-4-1-1, if you download the tactic it will add the player and team instructions for you. Get your team familiar with the tactic and you should start picking up some wins, as long as you have the players to fit the formation. I was struggling with Villa in 9th in November, on the verge of being sacked. This tactic won me the league, I am now sitting in 5th in the Premier League a couple of months in.

It's not just you mate, I'm currently on the verge of being sacked with Villa in January of the first season. Only 9 points off top so can't really understand it myself. Forgot about ACON and have no transfer budget to replace my players due to FFP so I'll be looking for a job in the lower leagues this evening I imagine!

Just needs a bit of time to settle, it hasn't helped that he hasn't played every week, or that our formation doesn't really fit for him. Jedinak was given time and has now been one of our best players over the last two weeks.

Cheers mate, ill give that a go and see if it turns me around.

What tactic did you use 1st season? I'm now more likely to get relegated than promoted.

Anyone started a Villa save? Best players? Best signings? Jordan Ayew decided to hand his transfer notice in on deadline day for me so the squad are all unhappy with my treatment of him now. Still sitting tight in 3rd though.

This would have made my week...

In all fairness to Gabby he's hardly a target man, if Bruce wanted to a striker to come on to be bring down the long balls he would have put Gestede on. Gabby was put on to put pressure on their back 4 which he did, maybe not as much as he would have liked...

Two ways of looking at this, first is should we start the redevelopment of the North Stand this season whilst we are outside the top flight, then by the time we are back we have a higher capacity for our push for Champions League football (I know...) Or do we concentrate on getting out of the Championship and worry about redevelopments when we need them... The one addition I think would be brilliant at Villa Park is a few of the pop up bars outside the ground that the majority of other grounds have. Additions like this give fans a reason to get to the ground earlier, and creates a much better atmosphere by kick off.

Is everyone just carrying on with their Beta saves or is it best to start again now its officially out?

Ah another case of a player not playing for us for a few months and suddenly becomes the player we desperately need! No thanks...

I would play Bacuna over Hutton if he's fit, Amavi and Bacuna can then provide the width. And play McCormack instead of Grealish.

Who is playing right back for the U21's currently? Surely it would be worth throwing them in at the deep end instead of having this plank at right back for the rest of the season...

A normal blue nose... you been drinking?

We are fine at RB at the moment, we have Richards, Hutton & Bacuna to fill in there whilst De Laet is injured. CM is where we need to be strengthening in January, along with possibly another CB, a LM and a loan striker to cover ACON.

This would help me as well! I've wasted too many warbonds on rubbish guns so far. Russian 1895 Sniper is the only good one I've bought....

I would be interested to see the below: Jedinak Bacuna Tshibola Technically our midfield is fairly poor but we can make up for that with two engines in the middle who will work hard for 90 minutes.
