By Elchele Go To Postmy brother please
Man new FIFA is slick. Hats off to EA. Usually I don't like the new FIFA right off the bat. I have to get used to Lukaku's right foot being absolutely worthless. Martial's off leg spoiled me in 17
By Pele.gif Go To PostHe still does that.
Lol, fucking pep just keeps buying players. #FM. Any of you lads playing FM17 or plan on buying FM18?
By FlutterPuffs Go To Post
ouch that's bad, then again they have pretty good dep-
If only they had some sort of academy where they develop young players. It would save them a lot of money.
By Mushroom Go To PostHe still does that.Yes.

And yes.
By Elchele Go To PostLads, looks like I got the job. I'm signing the contract on thursdayyou will have my congratulations when the ink is dry.
But well done all the same.
FM17 was so fucking shit compared to the others I can't describe. WIll wait for some impressions of 18 first, please deliver leds
Dear BVB,
I love the support and engagement you show for your charity programs. But it's time to bench chubby Götze and let a real football player back on the pitch. Mario will have to manage to beat his coke addiction without wasting space on the pitch.
Thanks!

Only in terms of goal output in the very short term. It's like times in the past when Ribery, Neymar et al have been "close" to being on their level. Fact is they aren't and never will be.
By Laboured Go To PostOnly in terms of goal output in the very short term. It's like times in the past when Ribery, Neymar et al have been "close" to being on their level. Fact is they aren't and never will be.It's not only that, but consistency. Kane has been guilty of not turning up in some games.
Closest level I can associate Kane with is Ibra.
When are we finally going to see CL matches in different time slots? Next year, was it? Could've used it today.
In a rather odd and reactionary move, Montella has fired his / Milan's athletic trainer and talked about 'starting over'. I haven't been following Milan that closely over the past few weeks, but I don't think fitness, the lack thereof, is to blame for their recent loses.
On one hand, putting the manager and the team up against the wall after a couple of bad performances might bring a positive reaction. On the other ... yeah, I don't know, it kind of reeks of desperation. I'm not sure that playing under constant pressure to reach the 4th place is good for the morale and long term effectiveness. Talk about a psychological guillotine. As I see it, the kind of conviction you need for achieving important team goals must always stem from inside the team, it can't really be willed into existence from 'outside' forces.
Of course Fassone & co. might've noticed something I didn't and figured a public reprimand was the way to go. But it still feels a bit too much.
What's Milan-Slaent's take on it?

He's not... he definitely is not. I'd say he's coming close to being on a level with the likes of Suarez and Lewandowski, but not even sure he's there yet.
I'm still convinced midnight will strike one day and he'll turn back into a pumpkin
The thing that separates both Messi and Ronaldo from the rest apart from the pure talent and consistency is their intelligence to play and adapt to different roles that are assigned to them and doing excellently in all of them. I cant say anyone else comes close to them in that regard.
By Vivalapizza Go To PostI see Quaresma's outside of the boot trick is back
It never went away? He does it every week.
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostRio pls
Not even close. I do think he might be the best striker in the world, but hard to tell with him playing for Spurs.

Meant to post about this yesterday.
Quote was funny, I thought he was about to take responsibility, but then fired his trainer lol.
Absolutely pathetic IMO.
Being in better physical condition would have stopped the aimless, sloppy play vs Samp???
Really gone off Montella, and this might be the final nail in the coffin.
I understand they have played a lot so early, but Milan have a pretty deep squad. They didn't look tired at all against Samp. They are just an average looking team and the Lazio/Samp results have reflected it.
Morning, lads.

By Cleff Go To PostSeems like Villeneuve has hit it out the park with Blade Runner 2049.I hope so, I wasn't enamored with the original and the trailers for the new one don't look good.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostHappy 41st birthday to God.tis the birthday of an even bigger legend 😇
Football hasn't been the same since his departure.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostHappy birthday!!!!I think he means Totti ;)
Any plans?
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostHappy birthday!!!!Unfortunately not. Stuck in the countryside until my new office job starts (I assume I'm maternity cover) and I don't know when that'll be.
Any plans?
By jts Go To Postlmao god damn. :(
I did get a kick out of the Mendy tweet but obviously there is some level of truth to Castles' tweet. Even if the test hasn't happened yet, City would not be sending him to the knee specialist if they weren't concerned it was something major.
By Punished Go To Posttis the birthday of an even bigger legend 😇Happt aniversário m8 👌😀
Liverpool are converting 5.55% of their shots and allowing the opposition to convert 24% of theirs
So actually just shit at both ends of the pitch?
Edit: hbd to Yen too
