Liverpool fan trying to be funny is a joke in itself.

Those Gifs Wooden posted convinced me
My new team:
De Gea
Clyne, Distin, Nasta
Bale, Hazard, Paulinho, Kagawa, Walcott (Dat Midfield)
Cornelius, Aguero
Now no changes till we get close to the start of the season and Cesc has to go in.
No humour involved sadly for you. It's not great being a Liverpool fan at present but still we do have the occasional trophy to celebrate rather than a make believe fourth place one. I'm sure just like us you will enjoy making up the numbers next season.
More pointless banter. You done?
No RVP??? GTFO!!Those Gifs Wooden posted convinced me

Until you get linked to another top player yes. Truth hurts.
If it was the truth it would hurt but since its typical shit coming from a Liverpool fan it's just annoying.
Either or most likely. I expect both to get a lot of game time.
You pick one squad at the beginning of the year and every week make one change to it for free (no point cost).
Defenders:
Many people pick one good defender (priced 6 or over) that they play every week and never remove unless they have free transfers built up or there's a long term injury. Popular choices: Baines, Evra, Ivanovic
Then you grab two or three 4.5-5.0 fullbacks from mid table teams. The last defender spot many people just pick up a promoted team defender at 4.0 since you have 5 defenders and typically only play 3 of them every week.
Midfielders:
Goal scoring central playmakers, and penalty-taking CMs. Hazard, Mata, Bale, Kagawa are the higher priced options but there also Nolan, Snodgrass and other cheaper players who score often.
Strikers:
I like to have one at the top end, one at the cheap end then one in the middle. Every year there's one lower priced gem who ends up in the top four or five strikers. Last year it was Lambert. The year before that it was Ba.
Which part isn't true?
A dose of realism is always useful. The sooner we accept that our clubs will win fuck all and that despite David Moyes Man Utd will win the league again the better.
I'm pretty sure I once read on the SI forums (don't judge me I was just looking for a plug-in tactic so I could enjoy the rest of the game, the tactic development is the most mundane part to me) that nobody knows what the fuck they are. Someone said it's stuff like the canteen staff, receptionists, team buses/transportation, kit staff, matchday hospitality, etc. but I don't think anyone knows for sure.
Just finished touching up my database actually to reflect the key dealings of the summer. FM needed some spicing up I reckon.
Just what I was after, thanks
I ain't using no precious 14.0 points on RVP. It's just too much.

Apparently Spartak Moscow wants Jeffren. If that´s true, I just have one question to them. Do they want him gift wrapped?
It's kinda goofy since you have staff salaries and matchday expenses plus ground maintenance, travel costs, etc. already shown in other specific expenses. I think I've heard it's just some sort of percentage of your turnover... I guess it's meant to just level the playing field perhaps.
That bad? Bojan Mk II, eh?
Okay.
Firstly Madrid were interested in Suarez long before us. Suarez doesn't need to play us along to entice a bid from Madrid because if Madrid want him they will go for him regardless of anything we do or don't do.
Secondly you haven't said anything that hasn't been said 1,000,000 times before and is beyond redundant at this point. Not many Arsenal fans are banking on a Suarez signing or have our hopes terribly high and everybody knows where we are currently at. That doesn't mean we will forever be there.
Thirdly when you offer enough money you get the fucking players. Take a look at Monaco who over paid. In the end it comes down to money for most players whether you accept this or not.

He was a regular on our injury list. He even managed to injure himself while kicking a free kick and he was out for months. The rest of the time he seemed lazy or afraid of tackles, not a good thing for a winger.
Aye, I'm pretty sure that was the general consensus.
I think more than anything though what's buggered in this game is the player's morale. Or maybe I'm just a shite man-manager. It's the start of the season, we won most of our pre-season matches, won 4 of our first competitive fixtures, and yet half of my players are either okay or poor morale.
Maybe living on Merseyside is really just that miserable.
Yeah he never looked particularly talented. I had no idea he's already 25. I just assumed he was still 20, 21.
Firstly has it ever come from Madrid themselves that they are interested? They talk quite openly about how Bale was born for Madrid but on Suarez? We have heard from Perez when he said Suarez is a great player but ''it does not always fit''. The Madrid interest seem to come from Suarez himself in his many interviews.
I could have it very wrong but to me it seems like a number of clubs are posturing especially with the amount of stuff being leaked to the media. I just dont see how Arsenal can match Suarez' ambition. For me it seems like the bids are being made public to get Suarez to his number one destination. Spain.
It seems nobody fully knows if there is a clause in his contract that would allow him a move should 40m be offered but if there isn't it would be utterly stupid for Liverpool to even entertain any bid from Arsenal.
For the last point about money - When has Wenger ever gone gung ho and just splashed the cash on high profile signings whilst offering them massive wages? Players have moved to Monaco because they will be earning far more wages than the likes of Arsenal would offer. If a player wants big money history would suggest Arsenal are not the club to join.
At the moment it seems like the media are desperate for a big story and with the likes of Rooney and Suarez still potentially on the move it seems like any bit of information (reliable or not) is being reported as fact.
Never forget
Ironically it was Bojan who crossed that ball :/
I know the clasicos have been much closer since then, but that night was the best I have felt in a long time. I was over the moon.
Edit: After the 2nd Villa goal, I could not believe what was happening.
Warrior are trolling the shit out of us now.
These have been released as ''fashion'' kits. Both are at least ten times better than the kits that got selected for next season.
Hopefully sales of these are high so Warrior gets the message.
That top black one is very nice.

The more I think about it the less sure I am of Thiago's departure having that much effect on Cesc's minutes. Neymar's arrival could squeeze out some of his appearances up front, at least the ones that he feels matter (i.e. big game appearances: a good portion of which have him being substituted off, mostly early in the second half, including the three El Clasicos he started last season; or being an unused substitute in the CL semis until Messi got injured ahead of the second leg) and he could find himself in the same position as Thiago last season too, with Tito refusing to rotate Xavi even in throwaway league games, never mind the big ones. I don't think Fabregas really wants to go; this is probably about pressuring Tito into guaranteeing him proper rotation this season.
Definitely. He was in good form at the end of last season. He just has the same label on him that De Gea (and Vidic, Evra, etc. if you want to go further back) had in his first season. Some people don't realize how much of a goal threat he is.
I think Jose finally just adopted Essien
edit - is this new? RDM turned down PSG.

Yep. I don't understand people who can tolerate shitty laggy inputs. Fifa has this problem, so did GTA4, L4D and L4D2 both had it.
