Yeah the FIFA soundtracks are always good.

You can't be serious!

I hate FIFA soundtracks - so lame.

Your mum's lame

Your mum's lame

Probably.

Still has better taste in music than EA.

Is there a Euros thread?

 

[BluesMan]

Plus one for the soundtrack being tops. Aint no mainstream crud on there.

Day on the Green was brilliant. If you get the chance to go and see British India, You Am I, Something For Kate and Hunters and Collectors do it.
still hungover from Saturday

Hunters supported Bruce.

Very solid.

Rio tackling the big issues

Rio Ferdinand
Surely the UN (powers that be) have to go in and help in ‪#‎Syria‬ ?? To see the people there suffering like this is shocking.

Ferdinand going into politics? Another thing he has no idea about

Wait, he has an idea about something?

 

[Cooldude]

Wait, he has an idea about something?

Being a campaigner or drugs, probably the only two

Expert at dodging drug tests

 

[Cruyff14]

Haha

Every time Rio tweets the world gets a bit dumber.

Fact- Manchester is red

 

[moomba]

I've always said on here that United have the majority of football followers in Greater Manchester (although 55% to 14% is bollocks), but City have by far the greater amount of match going supporters. I've lived in Withington (50/50), Heaton Moor (blue), Stretford (red) and Timperley (blue) since coming over here 11 years ago, and have probably worked with or met less than a dozen match going reds in that time.

FWIW the survey (an online one done by www.rightmove.co.uk) above is a bit rubbish in that they've presumed the M postcode is Manchester. That includes areas of Trafford, Salford, Bury, Bolton, Wigan, Rochdale, Oldham and Tameside (but not Stockport we're we are all supposed to live).

Any love for PES in here? The PES of 04/05/06 is still my favorite football games of all time. Nothing beats the first year of master league trying to get promoted with a bunch of no names

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah I have PES.

PES 5 was the best PES.

 

[Zidane98]

Have to agree there. Remember playing tournaments with mates and sometimes a 15 minute game would end in a hard fought 0-0 draw. You don't get that with FIFA.

Master League provided the most memorable moments though. Winning the cup in the first year of ML on extreme difficulty was massive after I scored a last minute winner with my fav no name player "Burchet"

 

[Cruyff14]

I remember once, I can't remember what PES, maybe 4 or 5 was playing against my mate, we were only 16 or something. My mate was beating me 2-0 with classic Brazil and I was classic Holland. It might have been vice versa, anyway, it was 2-0 in the 80th minute. He went full defensive, took off forwards etc. I was notorious for my comebacks. I somehow managed to win 3-2 and oh boy he was not happy after conceding a stoppage time winner. Suffice to say we didn't play PES again that afternoon.

 

[Zidane98]

oh yes the classic teams / players. at one stage I had maradona, pele, cruyff & zidane playing as my front 4. Had many a crazy CL tie with that team sometimes needing 4 in the second half to qualify.

 

[Cruyff14]

I used to make my own team in edit mode with my favourite players. Was lots of fun!

 

[jod23]

I always wished you could bring the gameplay over from PES to the graphics and engine and image rights of FIFA and you would have had the perfect football game.

I remember scoring a goal on PES was like an event. I would celebrate like id just nailed Jessica Alba. On FIFA you can walk goals in.

 

[jd2010]

I definitely enjoyed the realism of the poor first touch if you were sprinting. Also a lot more 50-50 balls after a challenge rather than just cleanly winning the ball back was a great thing FIFA never could accomplish
