come on United. 3-0 to United.

Yeah, come on United! Beat Aston Villa on Saturday!

It's actually 0-3 to United then. I'm pretty confident for the coming game, I too think we'll easily beat them 0-2 or 0-3.

AC Milan motto: what you start, you finish. LOL. I think some of those Barca free-kicks were too easily given. Also, the trademark "he hit my shoulder but I'll clutch my face and roll around for a minute anyway" performance showcased beautifully [it was Pedro, I think]. And how in the blue blazes do they get away with so much pushing? Alves almost shoved the defender straight into the ad boards.

Not just this but fouling off-the-ball they constantly do, it's obviously trained for them to do it. Against Arsenal last year particularly Busquets and Alves were just running into people off-the-ball to help keep possession. Refs rarely if ever give fouls for that though.

Have to agree that Barcelona dive more than an average team, even though I like them as a team. Like the 2-1 Villa free kick against AC Milan should never have happened, Pedro (or Busquets, dunno) dived.

Giggsy saved us yesterday, weak game of United B-team, Giggsy almost scored 2.

It isn't diving, it's simulation.

Not anymore. I put too much time into it. Ditto for Football/Championship Manager.

Wait you played FM?

Nobody plays FM here.... I am at 2018 at Chelsea and I line up like this:

Cech
Van Der Wiel
Luiz
Subotic
Bale
Hazard
Pastore
Hamsik
Nasri
Aguero
Sturridge

Thoughts?

1. Delete that game.
2. Start a new game with a shit non-league with no money.
3. Take said shit team with no money to Champion's League Glory.
4. Revel in your greatness.

I'm absolutely serious, it's more fun and challenging to take Hereford United all the way than to take over an already good team. You also develop feelings of adoration for players you have never heard off, Adam Stansfield RIP. I sopped playing FM long ago when the game became too much like micromanagement. BTW, check out Nik Besagno. I signed him as a teenager on FM 06 and he turned out to be an excellent defensive midfielder. Also buy young, I never signed a player over twenty-five. This way you can generate some good money for squad players.

Yes, and as a testament to basketball's awesomeness, the NBA's next season is in jeopardy. NFL almost went down the same way, too.

 

[rockstar99]

Arsenal are playing great.Entertaining game.If Gervinho decided not to be such a ball hog on 2 occasions it might be 4-1 now.Great goal by Arteta.Cant wait for the second half.

Also United will go down tomorrow

Barcelona play later today.. time to bounce back

 

[BlueStar]

Arsenal are playing great

Well, they've scored a great own-goal to make it 4-2 Blackburn...

Thats because some players are way to greedy.With the NFL the owners were being greedy but its the opposite with the NBA.Enjoy having all our talent in the Euroleague for a season.
