He's pretty good in FM:
Some of the abilities & potential are pretty messed up though.
I need to get off of that crap pipe. I spend way too much time with that game.
He won't go back to Newcastle if we do flog him.
Well it could break the other way. You get a cheeky ten mil for him and his form plummets.
Anyway, do you believe Liverpool should be playing rodgers style or not? I would imagine the answer is "yes" assuming you want to win things. Tactics have changed dramatically over the past few years teams who dont give a toss about possession are going to make life much harder for themselves. I think Liverpool fans should count themselves very lucky their new owners recognised this tactical revolution and went for the biggest advocate of that style in the PL as their new manager.
But some players are just not built for that style. Carroll is one of them.

Don't think I'll be using DHL for a while
Have you considered Football Manager Handheld?

The answer to the bolded is: fuck yes.
Look at the Premier League now, specifically the top half. It's getting increasingly congested year on year, and you're seeing teams who aren't even getting into the top four spending huge sums of money in order to do so. We've got money to spend, but I think it's clear to our owners that more important than simply piling money in is developing and incubating a specific style of football, and, more importantly, a winning style.
Rodgers is a fantastic coach, first and foremost. Players want to play for him, fans want to support him, and the media want him to do well. He's got a style of football that's admirable, intelligent, and endorsed by some of the brightest coaches on the planet. It's a style that elevates the group beyond what their raw talent dictates, see: Swansea.
If Rodgers can build a team that's capable of adapting that style with more firepower, technique, and overall quality then we'll challenge for the top four. It's also a style that fans want to see, it's about pressing, passing and moving. It's as close to Rafa's style of play as we've had since he left, and I think that'll be an immediate buzz for crowds next season.
I was thinking of getting it but I read that they've removed some options that are in the full game. I'll also have no life if I started playing FM Handheld.
Right before my Laptop died, Tottenham bought Cavani for £35m and Suarez went to Chelsea for £15m. It was a knockdown price because Liverpool finished 16th and Suarez had refused to sign a new contract. I lol'd.

Ronaldo and Messi at Barca!
Cavani 2' Ramirez 18'
Totally agree. Rodgers was my first choice for Villa. Lambert is a fine second though. My hope is he really leans into possession play as well. So far all the layers are saying this is what he is focusing on and in our first friendly (OK it was against Burton) we completely dominated possession in the second half, like they hardly got six kicks of the ball.
This is in marked contrast to McLiesh who even when playing Walsall was insistent we go direct all the time (ie: give the ball away).
I am a happy(ish) camper so far.
Cheers! Where did you find the stats? The usual sites I've looked on are pretending the game doesn't exist.

If you're playing badly, you have to at least try and make up for your mistakes. Delafeaueoueia keeps running into the defender and then standing there looking at his feet while they waltz down the pitch
I'm watching the game in the background.

Oh god I go on holiday tomorrow. No transfer muppetry for 11 days, I don't know if that's good or bad.
I'm not getting a holiday for the second summer in a row, can't afford it. On the plus side my dad's offered me £200 to housesit his house for two weeks and feed the cats. I get £200 to sit on my arse in his expansive garden refreshing twitter on an iPad. Transfer muppetry, some sun(hopefully), and some cash.

That's not too bad, I missed out on the madness last year so this year I'm going a bit crazy (Ibiza).
I'm more excited to get in the fucking sun for once more than anything at this point haha.

JESEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Sky Bet just changed their odds.
yes plz. Theo + RVP fees should be enough to rebuild the spine of this team. No need for any star players, just quality first team players + depth throughout squad.
edit: and just out of morbid curiosity, I compared Theo's stats to Bale's from last season. Bale's scored 9, assisted 10. Walcott's scored 8, assisted 11. 40m please!
He'll go for 10m tops. Oh well.
I used to follow Pop-Gaf, but it wore me down eventually.
True. When people start posting digimon pictures in here, or gifs of cartoons, I'm out.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL Spain Euro U19 Champions hahahahahah. Domination!
So proud of Greece though, far more interesting to watch than the national team from the Euro2012 tournament.
When does the first championship game occur bro?
I always felt that too. When he first joined Chelsea though his voice was fine. I feel like all he has to do is *attempt* to clear his throat, at least! Hahaha.

Actually, he's going to renew his contract due to the new taxes that have been approved in Spain.

More detail please. I know he made that post about banning the JT word but what else?
We were so fucking good that season. Makes me want to cry.
Just my opinion on the matter. Read a few of his posts and just get the feeling that he doesn't like us too much.
Which is rather bizarre.
Can't blame him, I don't like you guys either tbh.
How awful.
Haha, Yeah ones of the best seasons I've seen. City signed Robinho and United spent 30m on Berbatov. CL was great too with Iniestas last minute goal against Chelsea. Even Darron Gibson scored on the last day lol.
Shame it was Ronaldo's last season at United, Tevez's too
Newcastle were relegated
And there was the Benitez FACTS!! tantrum

I remember streaming that 4-4 game in a dingy Internet cafe in downtown Cairo while a grossly overweight man watched rape porn next to me. Memories.
