[Confrontation]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!

0-2 Astana - HJK (0-2 aggregate) after 40 minutes. We are about to secure Europa league and if things stay as they are, we would only have one more tie to reach CL.

Imagine that, a Finnish team in CL for the first time since 1998!

Edit : And right after I write this they score. 1-2 God dammit.

2-2 right after HT.

 

[Kill3r7]

If Rooney gets injured Man United are fucked.

If Chelsea are without Costa for an extended period they are fucked.

If City are without Aguero for too long they are fucked.

If Coquelin gets injured we are fucked.

The way I see it, all the top teams are just 1 injury in a particular area of the field away from being screwed. Could this be Liverpool's year?

Fair point. I think City are better equipped than the other 3 to deal with an injury to Aguero especially if they land de Bruyne.

 

[ICKE]

2-2 right after HT.

FML.

3-2

 

[Confrontation]

FML.

Tuned in right after Halftime and I'm afraid that Astana's dominating.

Edit: They just scored with a lucky goal, 3-2. Ridiculous.

 

[jtb]

Prediction? This is more like a fact.

Not even us Arsenal fans think we'll win the league.

Oh, I know. I'm an Arsenal fan

 

[Mista]

If it starts with a B and he's partially named after a luxury German automobile I'm not believing it haha.

What if it starts with an L and he's partially named randomly xD?

 

[Tubie]

Wait, so Madrid played Tottenham and Bayern played Milan yesterday and they are playing each other today?

Madness.

I imagine we'll see both come out with their B team.

3-3 from PK and Astana received a red card.

I cant.....I just can't. This match is too crazy and intense with all sorts of shenanigans going on.

90min Havenaar hits the crossbar, that was our chance to seal the match. Still 4 minutes added time. I need to take some painkillers with this booze.

94min 4-3...Had to be. FUCK MY LIFE AND FUCK FOOTBALL

But what about Schalke? Oh yeah, no one gives a shit because they suck. Fuck Schlacke.

As long as Heldt and Tönnies are working contradicting together they will never achieve anything.

 

[Tubie]

[Meier]

Who else do City have up front apart from Aguero and Bony?

I know Jov and Dzeko have gone.

It's not just then surely, if so they must be looking at someone.

The plan is to utilize 1 striker primarily this season and City are going with our young striker Kelechi Iheanacho for 3rd/4th choice behind Aguero and Bony (Sterling will also provide cover at CF). Kelechi had a great preseason with the first team once again -- here's a highlight video of his from prior to this summer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnQAj7q4GMU. Incredibly talented.. can't wait to see him play official games. Would have gotten a look last year but took some time to get his work permit.

Scored an absolute beauty against United in the U21 derby last season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keisBGvwGfA

I really enjoy the career mode (in theory) because I love slowly but surely using the youth academy. The problem is that in my current game which is in 2025 or so, they simply no longer spawn them. My scouts who are all 5/5 can never, ever even find any players. Been like 2-3 seasons now and I've not added a single youth signing because I simply can't. Madness. Hopefully they fix that bug.

FIFA is all about clubs. Shame some of the old posters aren't around since they could attest to my sublime defensive capabilities.

I hardly played Career mode this year. Clubs is where most of my Fifa time goes.

How are Spurs going to go ahead of both Liverpool and United? They have barely strengthened this transfer window.

 

[Tubie]

I might buy this FIFA after all, after skipping 15.

The career mode changes all sound great.

 

[Jarnet87]

I'm gonna try and spent a decent amount of time playing this years PES Demo.

 

[Meier]

Kane played a bit part early on last season, a full year under his belt and they'll win more games. If you look at their results from the first half of the season last year, they lost or drew games they really should have won.

They haven't lost anyone who would have actually helped them and will definitely sign at least another player or two before the window is over I'm sure. After United, their schedule is pretty easy through the end of the month so they'll be fine even if it takes a little while to get another player in. Dele Alli will be a nice addition and they've clearly improved their defense with Trippier and Alderweireld.

 

[ICKE]

Edit: They just scored with a lucky goal, 3-2. Ridiculous.

I'm telling you, being a huge football supporter in Finland is not good for your mental health. I don't know how to hold these losses.

Be it against Hungary in WC qualifiers just seconds before the final whistle, making a comeback against Czech Rep only to lose the game after missing an open goal (just moments before the game ended) and now this. And apparently crowd lasers were the reason why our goalkeeper made a mess of it in their 1-2 goal. There will be a protest but it is absolutely pointless. because UEFA never does anything about it.

And the 4-3 goal was an offside. This game is just fucking stupid.

Spoiler

It is the best thing there is though ;_; This was probably one of the most entertaining CL qualifier in recent years.

 

[Cystm]

I'd get into Fifa 16 if there was something more to the PC community. 15 took forever to find matches.

 

[Jarnet87]

Mentions of United putting in a 40 million pound bid for Kane and he is out of the squad today. Could be nothing more then giving him rest for Saturday.

 

[Sloosha]

Chelsea lineup against Fiorentina:

Asmir Begovic, Ola Aina, John Terry, Kurt Zouma, Juan Cuadrado, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mikel, Victor Moses, Oscar, Bertrand Traore, Radamel Falcao

Cuadrado at fullback should be fun. Excited to see Ola Aina and Bertrand Traore play.

 

[Anth1888]

Not the best game of football I've ever seen but at least we're through the play-offs.

 

[JardeL]

75' Shakhtar Donetsk 3 - 0 Fenerbahce

Better luck next time Nani & Van Persie :] ...

 

[El Topo]

1-0. Navas didn't really look good. Should've kept Casillas.

 

[Gambit]

1-0. Navas didn't really look good. Should've kept Casillas.

what did you think of the game? Wasn't too exciting, but Costa is really quite a good signing. Better than Vidal (in pre-season) so far.

Today I was also happy to finally see Hojbjerg have a good game again. Lewy needs to get his striking boots back, though.

Costa seemed really good, Hojbjerg had a good game. Overall I liked what I saw.

Fucking finally. http://www.skysports.com/football/n...ity-agree-16314m-fee-with-roma-for-edin-dzeko

Hey Az, just another sort of level of confirmation, City had an event tonight called City Live and they brought out the first team player by player.. no Dzeko announced (the others who weren't present were mentioned). A bit of a shame they didn't give him a sort of proper send-off at the event but I guess they didn't want to bring things down so to speak.

 

[Rhaknar]

Man after the most depressing pre-season I remember seeing, finally some good news with us signing Mitroglou. Hopefully it's the Olympiakos version

 

[Lunar FC]

Jack Wilshere looks to be injured again. Probably out for a few months.

 

[Lashley]

Oh for fucks sake

What are his legs made out of? Glass?

Closing in on more hospital apperances than arsenal ones at this point.

Oh what the fuck..

I'll really never understand why they don't wear shinpads in training.

 

[EmiPrime]

Any first manager to get the sack predictions?

The bookies have Brendan as the favourite to go first.

This was always going to happen. Jack has glass ankles even though the rumour is Gabriel gave him a particularly meaty challenge in training.

Feel so sorry for the lad though, he's trapped inside injury purgatory

My money is Steve McClaren because the clown show at Newcastle is very unforgiving.

 

[DBT85]

He played 86 minutes the day before. He was never going to play the next day. Even if it was true, Levy wouldn't let him go for £40m, and he's got to prove that he can do it again for my money.

Though spurs won't return to London till This afternoon which is a bizarre way to prepare for An early kickoff on Saturday.
