Football season - can't live with the ticket prices, can't live without paying them.
It's back. Happy f*ckin' days.

I don't think they allow any third party stuff. There's an official one but it costs money. I just use the mobile site.
Yeah. I was talking about the official app.
It does everything you need it to do and has some nice little features. It's some bullshit that you have to pay for it so make sure you're actually gonna get use out of it before hand.
Im in the same boat except none of my friends want to get up that early and go somewhere. :/
Since when was De Gea more proven? If its by playing for bigger club, go see yourself out the door right now. Navas is one of la liga's more proven talents and i trust la liga quality over the donkey league that is the EPL.
Navas showed a very good account for himself with his nation and his previous club. You don't get more proven than showing up in bigggest tourney that was wc and he hasnt seen much game time since joining madrid.
Having said that, i rather us roll with casilla and navas and leave de gea at manutd.
Casilla impresses me most. No need for de gea when we got two capable gks.
De gea interest is only for two factors and neither of which are because of his quality: Spanish international. Younger than both kiko and keylor. Thats it.

I'm such an idiot... Yeah I'll work till 2!
Now I have to record the game.

It's one of those nice to have apps. I purchased it since I travel a lot, but it wont add much value if you always have a computer nearby.
My shift doesn't end for another 12 hours. Luckily we got several spare TV sets at work, so I just have to fiddle with some cabling and it should be possible to see the matches live.
I love James so much, overpriced but I still love him.

De Gea was basically the difference between Man Utd finishing 4th, and finishing 7th. He's a fantastic keeper, and will only get better.

But they also have a madman in charge.
They have good players but I wouldn't back Bilic to get the most out of them.

The magic of the Europa, they are better of out of it concentrate on the league and have a run in the cup.

Gonna try and avoid everything football orientated the match will record then I have to go shopping and finally watch the game afterwards.
No.
But then probably half of the old members got banned either by accident or on purpose and now are elsewhere.
Would have been nice to be allowed to have this thread in with the genpop for a week to get some new members, but we are...under scrutiny.

It will take time we just need some new blood it helps the season is about to kick off.

I used it a lot. The best part that somewhat justifies the cost is that you'll get notiifcations about the end of gameweeks, double gameweeks for certain teams and when tables are updated etc.

Anyone watching Man Utd vs Spurs in 4K on BT Sport? (I'm not just to be clear)

FIFA pre FIFA 08 was the hottest of garbage.
FIFA these days might be infuriating and frustrating, but it's at least solid.]

Solid what? People sprinting for 90 minutes, never getting tired, every player capable of performing tricks, speed and strength the only indicators of whether a player is good or not?
Honestly I don't see how people who watch and enjoy football can suffer this garbage.

It's an 'arcade' style of the game and that's what the masses want, really. Even when PES was at its simulation best, it never sold in the numbers FIFA did unfortunately.
There are some really shoddy football games from the 8 and 16 bit era that would fill a worst ever list well ahead of modern day FIFA!
That said, I haven't bought FIFA myself for about 3 or 4 years so I don't think it's the bees knees or anything. Calling it the worst ever is a bit harsh.
FIFA 97 is still the highpoint.
Didn't specifically think of De Gea actually. That said, De Gea has shown that he is quite good in a good league. I don't think he is the greatest goalkeeper out there, but from what I've seen I think he'd do a better job than Navas. Then again, I'm unfair to Navas right now, so let's just wait. Anyway, I doubt goalkeeping will be Real's biggest problem.

As soon as the focus of FIFA became Ultimate Team, it has been all down hill. So many features arbitrarily pulled one year, re-added another. When they know all people are going to be doing is spending money to make their team better to beat their mates, they don't have to work about tuning shit other than how to more efficiently take micro transactions.
Whatever, not gonna get bummed out about shit video games, it is season opener day. Wooooooooooooooooooo! I don't get to watch it live, but I will probably binge watch at least three matches later tonight when I am back home. Come on Depay!

Aw god, he's putting Depay in a shit position. Di Maria all over again.

Well, I guess that is what happens when you don't sign any new center backs. Just got to keep the pressure going forward and we should be good.....hahah who am I kidding. We will be leaking goals for sure, just hopefully we score more than Kane. You can't buy a player during halftime right?
Edit: Are Memphis and Shaw both on the left? That way they can at least beam-form their bro love.

The lack of Januzaj on the bench is disturbing, the guy needs regular top football now

Oh man I'm so hyped up right now and I'm not even a supporter of either team!
FOOTBALL IS ALIVE AGAIN!
Nothing like coming home from work and forgetting about the bullshit with some Houblon Chouffe, OG Kush, and the most entertaining league in the world.

Yay, football.
Top 4 in England is more locked down than it has been in my football-watching life.
Liverpool also seem super locked down for 5th.
But fuck it, let's go cunts. Bentekkers for 20 goals.
In other news, PES around PES6 was amazing. Fifa is lowest common denominator rubbish
