Of course.

Did you manage to have any success with Theo? I've held onto him with the hope he'll come good but he's still terrible at the age of 20 in mine (the description still says wonderkid though). Sending him out on loan for 2 years in a row hasn't even helped much. I'm thinking I might just cash in on him since he's not getting anywhere near my 1st team.

he's done well in his first year and scored 12 goals from 30 or so starts in all competitions and almost always made an impact from the bench.

Second season he's not been great, 2 goals and 7 assists in 17 starts. He's been injured a lot though. He's developed ok in terms of his stats though, so I will give him another chance next season in the first team.

I delete it off my computer at least once a month (usually after a Sunday long bender). Somehow it finds its way back

Next year it should be: Official Football/Soccer Thread 2008/2009 featuring Gratuitous Oversized FM Lineup Images

:lol +5 baby.

A highlight reel 70-yd shot will do that for you, I guess. Seems like most of the other teams have more or less stabilized in the meantime.

Wtf, 8.5 mil highest received? 18 mil total in 12 years? What are you, the English Milan? :lol I personally think it's most fun buying young players and then selling them on, I had sold for a couple of hundred mil in the ~15 years I did mine. Scouting and buying is the most fun to me, absolutely.

 

[Manager]

Not if you're not good at it. :lol

Does not compute. If you're good at it, you just find new challenges. There is no *being too good at FM to get boored*. But I can see someone getting bored if they start with teams like Arsenal, it's already like the ultimate FM team with all the young players.

Whoops, didn't see the double-not. Disregard that

Seriously.

No screenshot but my 2008 features Spurs sitting top. Spurs are quite difficult at the start because everyone is injured. I turned Darren Bent into an absolute monster.

The store isn't great, the UI is as unintuitive as they come, worse than on the 360 even. There also doesn't seem to be demo's available for most of the PSN games, which is really poor.

You should have seen the store before they fixed it then. :lol

I'm not so good with money I find it difficult to sell players that I don't want plus I like bringing up the promising youth players in the first team (like Wenger). I like to win the thophys If I can win CL again I'll resign and hopefully go international.

(I really need to uninstall this game I got an exam this friday)

Let us not speak of the store pre-upgrade, it doesn't exist anymore thank god!

A gripe with the new store is that the European categories is way inferior to the American one how the fuck am I meant to find demo's and why on gods green earth is pixeljunk monsters in both puzzle AND and stategy sections and define action adventure for me!

Get rid of the family games section (WHAT!?) and put in a A to Z section wankers.

I find the PSN store infinitely better to browse or use than the XBL one, I barely touched anything on XBL cos it was crap and irritating to use.

how are Fabio and Rafael on FM?

what happens when a woman tries to cover a penalty shoot out warning, this is painfully embarassing.

good pics of Champions League Final, no watermarks in case anyone is interested

My faves:

was outside the box

and saw this and thought of GAF

hahaha.

 

[Falch]

Vennegoor missed four consecutive penalties at today's training. :lol

 

[Cornballer]

Is that better or worse than the average Dutch player?

You're suppose to add a "next year is our year"

 

[Falch]

:lol

Van Nistelrooij, Huntelaar, Babel and Melchiot also missed their first penalty.

I guess that means that 16 players (excluding the 3 goalkeepers) scored at the first try, which is actually very good for Dutch standards.

In all serioussness, I don't think we have any real chokers this time around. Not like the 'golden generation' anyway: Kluivert, de Boer, Seedorf, Cocu and Stam.

 

[SantaC]

sweden just played a horrible game. Our coach really sucks, he likes all players over 30 and hates all young talents.

Henrik Larsson back is a joke, he will probably play until he is 70. Poor elmander. Alexandersson? You gotta be shitting me.

Ibra is the only good player in sweden.

It just surprises me that they're reporting things like this. Seems like an England-esque situation where the media is putting more pressure on the players by talking about who missed in practice. Recipe for disaster when they inevitably end up taking PK's in the Euros.

Oh please you post it mocking, but is there any other reason for a United fan trawling for Liverpool pictures?

btw, penny arcade adventures is pretty good.

it was posted on a forum I go to and I thought of GAF, as if I would search for that stuff....and I imagine the forum got it from another forum and so on.

stop living in denial, its probably a 13 yr old who just discovered photoshop as if a Utd fan would go to al the trouble to make something like that? Not to mention the other photoshops he has on his account. thats a lot of effort for a wum.

you guys squirming with embarassment :lol at least you have a good grasp of how embarassing your fans can be. none of us are invincible from the stupid element as I'm sure some of the utd fans here will testify.

Well, it's the Telegraaf that's reporting it, the number one trash paper (also the most popular one :/). Anyway, I think we've actually gotten rid of the penalty trauma, ever since we beat Sweden at the euro 2004 (only Cocu missed a penalty).

 

[Batongen]

Gattuso: "That's no tranny!??"

So, how much of a revolution is the new FM, it doesn't look like it's that big of an update? Also, what's the requirements for this game? The last one I played was FM 2005.

Gaf mini League -

Bumping to see if anyone else wants to join, 9 teams so far. I'll bump it again just before the tournament.

 

[Wes]

WARNING - DO NOT BUY FFCC: MY LIFE AS A KING!

Thing is the most addictive game I've ever played.

 

[Yazan]

Is it that good?

 

[Wes]

It's not amazing on the levels of AAA title's but it has been incredibly well put together for such a little game. It takes the most alluring and addictive parts of RPGs and SimCity and throws them together into an enjoyable mix that will have you saying constantly to yourself "just one more day".

Hugo Lloris went to Lyon, possibly because Milan couldn't move their existing goalkeepers. I guess that makes the Gila close to Fiorentina rumours a good thing, because no one can be signed until a good value deal is done for existing players. Milan is so run by investors.

Got a source? PSV was also interested in Lloris because Gomes will most certainly leave.

Um ... read it quick on a message board. Source is http://goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=711665 but I don't know if you consider it reliable. I need to be more careful with the internets. Edit: The Lyon president told RTL radio that Lloris would be signed in 24 hours. The conversation is totally confirmed from a lot of sources, but not the transfer yet.

I haven't taken offence at anything .... o_0 I found the whole thing entertaining. (the smilies and taking a pop at myself clearly not blatant enough)

from my point of view a scouse fan has seen an appalling picture made by a fellow scouser and is embarassed by it so accuses a utd fan of making it up. Thats denial. I just tried to prove it was real by showing the other pictures on this guys account (all I did was step backwards in the URL)

Calling me out on my bullshit? I just saw the picture elsewhere and copied it here thinking its amusing and might raise a smile on a few of you... how am I bullshitting? :: even if you say its some boring sod pretending to be a pathetic liverpool fan in an attempt to make liverpool fans look more hilarious than they already are.... I can't prove either way.... nor do I really care.

christ this place has no sense of humour. relax.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Wow. Through pics a friend commented on on Facebook, i just saw pics of my ex from last summer. And by GOD that girl gets me every time. We cooled off bcos i straight up told her i couldn't do long distance relationships, but now through her changing her network affiliation, it seems she's moving back here and transferring to the same school i am for the fall.

I'm guessing she has a boyfriend now, seeing as her parents didn't like the idea of her dating a black guy and were always ramming Chinese guys down her throat, but does that make her off limits seeing as we never really broke it off. I'm debating whether to get at her or not.

Question is, i know it's uncool to mess with a girls head when she's with another guy, but in this case, you guys think i should go for it. I'll be honest, i never really got over her.

 

[Blablurn]

just put yourself in the role of the other person. would you like to see your girl making out with another man?

btw, shaggys official euro 2008 song sucks big time.

Yeah dude some girls you have to let go and just remain aloof and lonewoof like.

Try okcupid. I'm actually kinda impressed. Three girls messaged me so far, and while they're a bit beefy, I could always starve them until I was okay with looking them in their fat eyes.
