When you make Nyron Nosworthy look like Vidic you know something's up.

Hai guise

LETS PLAY A GAME!

Okay since there aren't any really interesting matches tonight, why don't we reveal the country where we're from? Not to make to task too (childish) easy, lets post our nations' best current player so you'll have to guess the country.

I thought he was supposed to be back in March?

FFS hes missed about 18 months through injury at United.

He must be on his last chance by now.

Even though I'm born in England, I'm 3/4 Hungarian so to shake things up a bit in this thread, the best Hungarian player is Balázs Dzsudzsák:

Plays for Dinamo Moscow now after what seemed to have been an unsuccessful spell at Antzinmypantz Ahmadinejad.

That fucker is at Dynamo Moscow now? Oh wow, remember him being awesome against us and thinking he would go to a bigger league, guess they offered good money in Russia.

2012 has been around 10 euros on sales a few times I believe, that certainly isn't a great deal on FM11. FM12 is all around just better, would search around a bit and pay the extra.

I got off the train at Carshalton Beeches once. The area was much nicer than I thought it would be. I had always assumed it was London but it's technically still in Surrey. Represent.

I have no idea what you're talking about, seriously. I've watched the game in the stadium (as a volunteer) - so I was distracted sometimes, but I've also read a pile of comments from neutral and Bayern fans and not once did someone says anything about GK, other than his shot/assist for the 1:0. So yeah, I have no idea what you're alluding to..

I actually prefer to play Fifa 2012 in career mode, it's limited but still fun. I hope they make it bigger and better in the next version. Also, a friend of mine plays Fifa Manager 2012 (PC-only), he says it's pretty good.

Nah it's still great. The easiest one in a while to play, I get nowhere near as frustrated at it as I did past years.

Also fuck single player FIFA, when Real Madrid and Kilmarnock play exactly the same way something's gone wrong down the line somewhere

You amateurs. When I play FM, it's about a couple of hours before my first game of the season. First things first, you get the assistant to deal with the friendlies. Next, go through my squad and work out the teams strengths and which formation I want to use, which is then tweaked to exact precision. Then I sent my scouts away aswell as doing some of my own research. Following that, I'll create my own training regimes and sack a few coaches and get better ones in. Then I'll be trading for the next few weeks mulling over targets and who I should let go.

If after all that, I lose the first game of the season, I'm mad. Luckily I'm a FM-God so that doesn't happen.

I would have to download the entire match to show you. If you can catch a replay, watch it. It happens in the first part of the match... I remember it pretty clear because Boateng flipped out.

This this this this this this this this this

Scouts with like 17+ Judge A and P are essential, training schedules are essential, match preparation is essential.

With Sutton United, I have a team with mentality set to 20 playing 4-4-2 and I'm still destroying motherfuckers here there and everywhere

I still like the part where I actually use the team to play the matches I want. So I think FM is just not for me right now.

I would love to be able to buy youth coaches and things like that, tho.

United have scored in the FAYC. 1-0, Jack Barmby with the goal. He's Nick Barmby's son and has scored in every round of the competition so far! Promising player.

Liar. I demand screenshots of every single game you've ever played with them and then maybe I'll consider believing you.

FM is serious business. I remember discovering Alexis Sanchez on there like 4 years ago. He was amazing and I fell in love with him through that game. When I saw him break through for real I wasn't even surprised. Barcelona are lucky, wait until he runs the length of the pitch to score the winner in the CL final, I remember it like it was yesterday.

Worth noting something similar happened with Ryan Babel and umm...yeah.

I never touched training schedules in FM, match prep doesn't count. Does it really make a difference? I haven't played FM12 yet, bought it for my dad and was unaware that you can no longer have two copies of the game - steam and disc. Will play it flatout when exams are over.
My FM tactic is play Liverpool manager for about 5 years, win trophies/make club self-sufficient. Join a national team for 2 years. Then back to Liverpool to rebuild my dynasty.

I just remember you posting about Coventry (unless I have imagined that). I know a lad from Coventry who has Hungarian ancestry and also supports Newcastle. It's a rather unique (or so I thought) combination...

I think I've already mentioned that Chamakh scored 30 odd league goals in one of my FM seasons.

The game clearly isn't accurate enough.

Helps me develop my youth players. I usually don't buy anybody above the age of 23 on that game.

Ravel Morrison at Stamford Bridge tonight supporting the Academy boys. That's nice.

I don't touch the sliders myself. I just try to get each training category to five stars by assigning coaches based on their strengths.

Very similar in the way I play the game. I normally give the club a staff overhaul and bring in the best youth coaches around and start snapping up potential wonder kids and get them out on loan. It's good when you have been at a club for a few years and built a good relationship with your staff that when you leave they will also resign and move with you.

Latest game I'm playing - Got sacked from Malaga for finishing 5th despite European qualification being the target - Got offered the Wigan job who had been relegated - Took the job and got them promoted with Mauro Boselli scoring 30+ goals - Offered the Chelsea job and took that - Been there for five seasons with a top class youth setup and a couple of wonder kids lighting up the league - Probably going to move at the end of the summer and redeem myself somewhere in La Liga.

ANYWAY - Setting off at 4.45am to make it down to Wembley and it's gotten to the stage of ''I'm shitting myself''. It's going to be a day of Pure joy or Pure despair but either way I'm looking forward to the experience.

I know the majority of other teams supporters (+ on here) want Everton to win tomorrow so that would make it all the sweeter should the result go in our favour.

Oh aye, forgot about the sliders, I change them. I also do the assign coaches business. I was wondering does anyone change the actual schedules as in five a side, drills etc. I've stayed away from the training page so long that I barely remember if those options are still available. I haven't played FM in about 18 months. Cold turkey.

I don't have the patience to play FM (anymore). The only football game I play nowadays is Fifa (online, 99% of the time).
