I've listened to 1-8, and i really really like it. I Knew You Were Trouble is really interesting. In a good way.

How can it not 'in a way'. It's a total, 100% shock. :p

Google Doc is up. I'll be editing it live as usual. Is it at 9, @Jimbob?

NO, NO. DON'T YOU SAY THAT. I haven't listened to it yet...

Tales has it. I'll get the spreadsheet drawn up before the draw.

Crap change report as expected. Defence and goal keepers weaker. Midfield and forwards stronger. More goals!

I'm going to play my strongest team against Ell, my youngsters would beat him, but I'm going to put 6 past him.

Sure I'll help out.

Rising were the only team to stop me scoring. We play the game right. :p I scored on average 3.8 goals a game or something stupid, that's surely the most goals scored in the top league ever? I doubt anyone will top 68 goals. If i'd have scored 4 more goals i'd have averaged 4 a game.

Defensive play and formations are way too powerful. The amount of times i've played ratings that are easily 5 better in midfield and attack but because his defence equals my attack it's impossible to score.

He's got an unreal cv. 7 Italian league titles, German title, Portuguese title, European cups. I thought it was a great achievement he got ireland to the euro's at all. Another thing mokong. You bring up that he should pick players on form, and not on name, yet you argue that one of the reasons Clark should start is because he plays for Villa (who are awful atm). I think you should be more realistic and understanding. Ireland aren't blessed with tons of talent, and a change of manager might change the philosophy and how you play, but will ultimately not change results hardly.

I have the best GD in the league, so I'm happy to continue banging them in and letting a few in at the same time. I'm entertaining. and trophyless...

I can't wait to play Dragwho. Question is how many goals will I score when I win. :p

Best FIFA there's been in my opinion. 12 was garbage and i didn't buy it, but this is just brilliant. We need to have some games sometime. Me and @dazzybee have yet to have a game, and I'm sure our Liverpool - Spurs games will be epic. :p

Ofcourse. But it depends on what system the team plays and who is playing ahead of him. Barcelona get away with playing Alves who is rarely not in the attacking 3rd. England playing 442 with Johnson at RB would be fine.

I never for a second said he's among the best in the world. Just because you're not the best in the world, it doesn't mean you're shite.

My point is that he isn't a bad defender at all, he doesn't make more mistakes than anyone else while defending. He just excels going forward, which is a bonus. Your point is silly anyway, the best right backs in the world are great going forward. That doesn't mean they are automatically midfielders.

Glen Johnson is better than Walker. He's so underrated, it's sad. He's not the best defender, but he's competent. Going forward he's brilliant, and adds alot to any team. I honestly don't get why people say he's a liability. He's not making mistake after mistake.

I wouldn't be too disappointed Mokong. Germany are amazing, and easily up there with Spain. They thrash teams regularly.

I've not got round to pre-ordering yet, but i will be getting this.

@dan\-likes\-trees, beat Nikos and i will love you (even more) forever. xx

I was unlucky not to get promoted to division 4 on my official team. Got 25.6m econ in the bank aswell.

Who gives a shit, they both embarrassed themselves. Take a step back and look at this, we're trying to make one look better by slating the other. They both need to cut it out. It's funny, because Bale and Suárez are easily two of the best players in the world, yet they act like they do. They both dive differently, but it's both very wrong. It's just that Suárez seems to take the most shit for it. And how has Huth stamping on his chest not being talked about anywhere? People are more bothered about a player throwing himself to the floor than that player being assaulted. Absolute disgrace. So glad to see Brendan defending him aswell.

I find it remarkably how a Spurs fan who has Bale in their side can criticise Suarez as much as dazzybee does.
