It's not particularly good but my wife was into it so we watched the entire season. I honestly barely remember how it ended -- there's a lot of suspension of disbelief towards the end. More so than usual..

Real Madrid assistant coach
Wales international Bale, 24, who joined the Spanish side for £85.3m from Tottenham, could make his debut at Villarreal on 14 September.
But Clement told BBC Sport: "There's a lot of competition for places - no-one will be guaranteed anything.
"Coach Carlo Ancelotti has a clear idea how to use him but things can change."
And there has been debate whether Bale or Ronaldo will play the furthest forward.
"Carlo is flexible enough to use Gareth and other players in different capacities," Englishman Clement said.
"At Southampton, Bale played at left-back which he also did at Spurs where he became a more left-sided player.
"He recently became more central. He's got that versatility.
"It'll be interesting to see how players fit in together. We'll be trying to find their best position and what's best for the team as quickly as possible.
"Gareth has the goalscoring talent and ability to set up goals for others. We have a lot of exciting players here. [Striker Karim] Benzema is a great talent, while Isco plays in midfield but has chipped in with three goals already."
"Depending on how much or little he plays will depend whether he trains a week on Wednesday or Thursday leading into the first game at Villarreal away [Saturday, 14 September]," added Clement.
Clement himself is still settling in at Real. He arrived in late June having been brought to the club by Ancelotti, with whom he worked at Chelsea and Paris St-Germain, after the Italian was appointed as Jose Mourinho's replacement.
The former PE teacher from the south London borough of Sutton, who progressed up the ranks as coach at Chelsea, said he had been taking regular Spanish lessons to help adjust to his new surroundings and to help with coaching the players.
Clement suggested it would benefit Bale to "knuckle down" and learn the language.
"It's more challenging for a coach and manager than a player," he continued. "Communication is everything - you have to instruct and organise.
"It's up to Gareth to learn. A lot of players start having lessons at the club when they arrive. [Croatian] Luka Modric, who played with Gareth at Tottenham, had some lessons initially - he speaks in Spanish and English with the players.
"I'm sure Gareth will do the same. He spoke some lines during the news conference. It's a great life quality if he knuckles down and learns. Our communication with the team as a whole will be in Spanish."

I can see Ronaldo's face now as Bale lays down his Madridista member card.
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark."

Since he was 20 at the beginning of the calendar year, we actually don't HAVE to register him for him to play. I still hope we loan him though.

Is it as bad as Bloodlines? I have yet to encounter a good sewer section in a video game...
I wish he was just taking the piss, but he's being deadly serious :lol

mgs3's short sewer section is fantastic even though it's scripted.
Football players playing that game seems so silly
Also, footballers travel so luxurious.
Who would do it though? Özil? Carzorla seems like he'd be the best option.

I bet Herrera already edited his database to include him. Now he's just sitting home with tears in his eyes over not getting to play for Moyes Boys but instead have to play yet another season at a racist club.
Cazorla seems the best option, if we were to go for that option. He's a pretty solid finisher for a midfielder, got one hell of a shot outside the box too. Theo should get a run through the middle though, if only as a bargaining chip to get him to stop taking set pieces.
If we done that it would have to be Cazorla but that would only be under extreme circumstances and if neither Giroud or Walcott could play.
Rosciky onto Walcott's wing with Walcott in the centre is our best option if Giroud is unavailable or needs a break.

Go to SI's forums. There's so many making editor updates, it usually doesn't take more than an hour or two from when the transfer window is done for someone to have updated it.
He moved to Copenhagen?

We don't just allow players from other countries and such, we allow Africans to come in without even having a work permit and play for us professionally.
Croatia - Serbia will at least be good fun.
Victoria Concordia Crescit. Özil is real.
Always annoyed me knowing how different replica kits are to the actual jerseys. I mean why can't they just sell those?
Full kit:
Nothing as far as I know. Even if he does speak all he will say is that he couldn't resist Wenger's smile and charisma.

Many does. It's just usually kind of fucking expensive and not many bothers.'
What can I say, I'm always excited for matches that could turn into full on riots.
