I want that one so bad.

Still thinking about whether to wait until the final Euro squad gets announced and the numbers are final or buy it now and risk looking dumb with a Hummels shirt that might have a different number...

I want a Gotze one. :D

Shame I can't find a reliable place to get Germany shirts customised (I'm in the UK).
 
Interview with Vertonghen from after the Europa League game:

"I think Tottenham are an amazing club and you see how well they are doing this season. They are in the top three in England and that’s where I want to play. I can’t say anything about whether there has been contact about a transfer but I think my game can be suited to English football. I love the atmosphere and it has the best players in the world, it breathes football. It’s one of my goals to play in the best leagues and against the best players. It’s the only competition I watch apart from Barcelona [:lol]".

"A lot of my colleagues from the national team play here and some are calling me to come. It’s a beautiful competition, the best in my opinion. I hope one day I can play in the Premier League with this atmosphere. To play for a team in the Premier League would be amazing and that’s what I am going for. It’s flattering to be linked with clubs, the rumours give me confidence but I just try to do my best every game. I read that Tottenham might sign Eden Hazard. It would be nice to play with him but he speaks a different language to me. He speaks French."

"Maybe for Christian it’s better to stay one more year and he can learn something, be the leader in the field for Ajax one day. I hope he stays one more year at least. Christian is a clever guy and he will leave at the right moment."

I mean I want an Ozil or Gomez.... When are numbers final? I'm assuming Ozil will be 10...
 
Sir Alex Ferguson told MUTV on Friday afternoon: "He got a knock. We sent him for a scan but we don't think it's serious."

As for the other team news ahead of Sunday's Barclays Premier League trip to Norwich City, the boss said: "There are no other injuries from last night.

Why would Arshavin be lent out to Zenit this far along in the season? Is Wenger pretty much admitting they won't get a top 4 spot in the league or is it disciplinary?

I'd get that with just about any German player on it. I'd probably go for Badstuber or Schweinsteiger. What's the keeper's kit looking like? Neuer would be a cool kit to get.

I think it's clear that Wenger is letting it known that a few players are going to be off loaded at seasons end regardless of whether we finish in the top 4 or not. Player pressure would have played it's part as well, Arshavin needs game time to get ready for the Euro's and there is a high chance he won't get that with us.

Provided we don't get injuries this wont effect us at all.

I think it's a mix of reasons. Arsenal are out of all the cups, the player is in poor form, wants to leave and needs to play to keep his place for the Euros. Obviously Wenger thinks 3 wide players plus Benayoun and Rosicky is enough for the run-in.
 
Just realised that United's game is on at the same time as the North London derby. That's pants. United won't be playing on a Saturday again this season.

Was just doing my FF and I saw that Arsenal's next 3 fixtures are against Spurs, Liverpool and Newcastle. They seriously need to step up if they wanna come away from those 3 games with decent points. Could see them losing all 3 of those games, I don't think they will but I wouldn't be too surprised if they did.

I'm willing Arsenal to do well though so I hope they find some form.
 
My Dortmund team is bombing the shit out of opponents on FIFA 12.

Weidenfeller
Piszczek - Subotic - Hummels (bromance) - Schmelzer (bromance)
Bender - Kehl
Gotze (bromance) - Kagawa - Grosskreutz (bromance)
Barrios

Reus gets on a fair bit too and is a great little player. Lewandowski just isn't doing it for me (7 apps, 2 assists) so I replaced him with the far more effective Barrios.

I know the above team is actually the starting team for the club but it's just so fucking good.
 
I must be the only person who puts Fifa on the Xbox and goes straight to Head to Head seasons and doesn't touch any other mode? I love it, just won my fifth league title (I have played more than 100 seasons, so it's a pretty lame record, although I have 9 cups in 13 tries).

Also, am I the only one who wants to face Real/Barca/Chelsea every match? Usually the guys using them are pretty noob and they don't have much creativity, so it's pretty easy to beat them. :P

No I do the exact same. Well I do touch friendly matches whenever a friend is here to play and we have played cups and tournaments a few times, but never bother with any of the offline stuff alone.

Haven't met Chelsea/Barca/Real in a long time online though, play as Copenhagen or Palermo online and only matched up against similar rated teams. When I play with friends we usually do this "you can click random 5 times at club select screen" thing. Can end up with such unbalanced games, but it's so great beating man city with villarreal b.
 
Cleverly Injury Watch:

*Going for ankle sprain according to a couple of the papers.*

Man Utd backroom staff need to reshuffle.

edit: And he's out for two weeks according to Times. :P

I used to play Winning Eleven on PS2 with my friends, but I always had friends who were never really into football, I don't see the only one who really enjoyed it in years. =(

I used to use Ajax I think, but there are so many teams 3.5 * that I got bored of facing so many random teams. I use Bayern/Liverpool/At. Madrid the most.
 
Don't act like you're not impressed.

Just went to a gay club with mates and someone asked my girlfriend if I was gay. How wonderful.
 
Hoping Spurs beat Arsenal, Newcastle beat Wolves and Bolton beat Chelsea.

Don't think Liverpool are playing but if they are then I hope they lose too. Need 4th spot!

I stopped playing real football when I injured my balls. Yes, that's right, my balls.

Actually, usign 3-4 division teams is more fun than using big teams, at least for me. You got to find the best young players on your team, sell the other ones (usually around 70% of the team) and then start buying young talents for cheap!

LOL

Newcastle finishing 4th would be the worst thing ever. If Arsenal don't finish 4th then I wish for Chelsea to finish 4th.

Newcastle and Liverpool suck ass...

Manager said:

edit
Forgot he hasn't played for a while anyway due to injury, due back tomorrow. Apparently Dann and Hanley are planned pairing.

Some little factoids for you.

City have got their mojo back! Scoring 10 goals in their last 4 games and conceding 1.
City are unbeaten in 20 league matches at The Etihad now. If they win today, they are only the 6th team in top-flight history to win 18 consecutive league games at home.

But, the Yak will be wanting a goal. He has the best conversation rate of any player in the Premier League, 38% shots to goals.
And Blackburn have scored more goals away than Chelsea with 18. There is only one team outside the top 4 with more than that, West Brom with 22.
