Downloaded the first few planning to start watching when uni semester is over.

 

[Cruyff14]

When does uni end?

There are only two eps left. **** me it's great.

The old man smashed 7 eps in one day earlier this week

 

[elhadjihenry]

End of next week, 4 assignments totally 60%, 60% and 85% of my subject grades due between now and then, no time for new shows just yet

It's like you're trying to tell us something... if only I could figure out what.

Far out, just go with it

Historically no.

It's been statistically proven that people will laugh when others do. Canned laughter was brought in to elicit a response from the viewers and when the added laughter was dropped from the shows, the rating plummeted.





How can you say that's funny? It's the laughter that lets you know its supposed to be a comedic situation.

Wow... this is truth.

Why I hate sitcoms. Big Bang Theory is another of the shows that people seem to like but I find stupid.

Whoever said to go with 3 cds and 2 wbs in FM, you're a ****ing genius.
Started a new save with Arsenal, only made 3 changes, in Matt Ryan (Don't like Sz, Fabianski aging) and Lovren (needed another good CD) and sold Giroud for 18.5M quid (wasn't good at the role I wanted)

Best scoring team I've had in a long long time, defence does leak a little, but when I'm winning most games by 2-3 goals and can make runs whenever, it's a scary team.

And I'm giving Zelelam huge amounts of game time as a 16 year old backing up Ozil.

Going to bring him on at the 60min mark of the 2nd half here (Up 7-0 at half time vs Atletico Madrid)

**** - Was paying attention to group H of the Champions League.

Going into the last matchday

1. Basel 10
2. PSG 9
3. Barcelona 8
4. Anderlecht who gives a ****

Barca Basel was tied all day until an 89th minute winner by Barca (PSG won by 3 goals)

So close to barca failing to get out of the group stage.

You're Welcome.

The only tactic you'll have somewhat of a problem with is a 4-2-3-1 that has 3 ACM's and 2CM's as it can overload your 3 defenders.

Then lucky only Manchester City play that.

My main XI is

---------------Walcott-Podolski
-----------------------Ozil
----------------Wilshere-Ramsey
Gibbs-----------------------------------Sagna
----Vermealen-Mertesacker-Lovren
-------------------Ryan

Scoring at will with that.

Walcott and Podolski both Poachers
Ozil an advanced playmaker
Wilshere and Ramsey both box-to-box midfielders
Gibbs and Sagna both complete wing backs
Vermealon and Lovren both Central Defenders
Mertesacker a Ball Playing Defender

And don't tell me I need to update my strikers
Walcott - 15 goals, 15 assists from 22 games
Podolski - 25 goals, 10 assists from 27 games

Anyway, I need to head off now, wont be back for 3-5 hours.

 

[Cruyff14]

Vermealon? He tasty?

Yeah I really like that one. If playing a hard away game or a team stronger than mine i'll often drop the AMC into a DM role.


I play an even more attacking variation,

----------------------------Poacher

Defensive Winger-------------------------Defensive winger


------------Deep Playmaker---Attacking playmaker

Wingback---------------------------------------------Wingback


----------Stopper CB----Ballplaying CB----Stopper CB


-------------------------KeeperI



I attack so much that the other team can't do anything but defend. It's not uncommon to have 30-40 shots a game with 5-10 clear cut chances.

It does concede often but I will always win a shootout if they want to go head to head attacking.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Just finished watching a Manure circlejerk on SBS. It reminded me of what an overblown moment the 99 CL final was. I mean yeah, they won by scoring two goals in added time. But like Real Madrid last month, even if they didn't score the extra goal, they probably would banged in at least two in extra time.

99 CL final? Just another game.

My old favourite formatin was

-----------------------Target Man
Inside Forward - Advanced playmaker - Inside forward
------box2box midfielder - Ball winning midfielder
wing back - ball playing cb - bal playing cb - wing back
---------------------------keeper

But this attacking one with the 3 defenders. Love it!

 

[Dirty Bird]

I also had a good 4-4-1-1 counter attacking formation I used at Hoffenheim to get me out of relegation zone when I took over mid year.
That formation went to shit though when I implemented it at Palace. Beat Chelsea, then went on about 10 games without a win and got fired

 

[Dirty Bird]

Flu epidemic?
WTF!
I have gone through sims with 1 or 2 a season, but 5 at the same time with 4 on the same day?
GAGF
AND KNOCKING THEM ALL OUT OF THE 2ND LEG OF THE CARLING CUP SEMI VS MANCHESTER UNITED????????????????
F*** OFF!

 

[Dirty Bird]

GARGH!
If that was a 4 that got generated rather than a 2, I would've got my first 4,096 in the 2,048 game.

 

[Cruyff14]

I still can only get 1024!

 

[Jatz]

I still can only get 1024!

I got 2048, deleted it after that. Stuff trying to get to 4096 haha.

Haha that would have been the smart thing for me to do..
