watched ...EPIC MOVIE ..last night and i cried laughing ,its like scary movies etc ,if you dont like corny humour you wont likeit ..but i loved it.

Well you've put me off Abbey. I've seen one of the Scary Movies (I can't remember which) and it was total sh_t. It horrifies me to think it's done by the same people who did Police Squad, Naked Gun and Airplane (the Zuker brothers).

There are some good tactics on The Dugout website. Look for a thread started by Strettford Red, or Sammi something. The former will have both a 4-1-4-1 and a brilliant 4-2-3-1 formation, whilst Sammi offers a classic 4-4-2 diamond that seems to work. Don't know if I can post a downloadable link thing on this forum, otherwise I'd stick it on here.

I'm 4th at the mo, but it is only November 2006.

EDIT: Here's the threads so you can download them.

Thread with 4-1-4-1 and 4-2-3-1 formations

4-4-2 diamond thread

Oh and I'm still in November, I'm 4th, about 4 or 5 points behind the leaders Chelsea. But I beat Man Utd.

Thanks Cocker. Anyone got great tactics to share?

Where do you put the patches within the game for them to take effect? I put the patch onto a memory stick but I doubt that makes a difference.

I bring important news.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE ARE REFORMING.

Thank Christ, Audioslave were tedious to the extreme. Who thought Soundgarden vs RATM could have turned out to be so middle-of-the-road?

Zack is alive? He hasn't exploded with all that rage? Saw them at Reading 2000, and they were great.

I liked the 1st Audioslave album, but the singles after that seemed a bit Jimmy Eat World.

Just got a copy yesterday. Would I need to download the patch on the link at the bottom of this post to stop my team having 1,000,000 injuries and arsey chairmen etc. that plagued the first few pages of this thread? I hope not, it looks HUGE. It'll take hours.

"Moving to West Ham isn't a backwards step - it's a great jump forwards" - Lucas Neill

Cheeky so and so.

Let's be fair with Lucas, that wasn't the entire quote, he did follow that by saying:

"Put your hands on your hips, and bring your knees in tight. It's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane, let's do the time warp again."

He also said something about being a sweet transvestite, but I didn't quite catch that.

West Ham will probably be like Pompey, in that they'll scrape past the post, and then surprise people next season. The way things are going, I'd say the 3 going down are: Watford, Wigan and Charlton. Villa will halt their slide, Fulham will finish where they are, and Boro and Newcastle will battle for 13th place.

Have fun fighting relegation Lucas. It may be a good move for Lucash, as he gets £60,000 p/w for being a big player in a team that's doing rubbish, and can shove off at the end of the season if they go down. A bit like Bowyer a couple of seasons ago. I bet he'll be at Liverpool if Wham go down.

Mind you, we should put in a cheeky bid for a laugh

As a big club fan would say.................WHO ?????

Never had it done, as players leave and you look silly. But if I did, I'd get my 1995-6 shirt and have either:

Heywood

81

or

Orgasmatron

00

So the deal isn't finalised yet?

DELETED

Oh yes, Papa Roach's Infest still sits, aherm, proudly in my CD collection - I've a policy of not trading any albums in just so I can look back on my own folly. I got suckered by Papa Roach's first two singles ripping off Iron Maiden lead parts - not that I recognised that at the time of course - but I still managed to convince myself for a few months that I was enjoying the album, and that the lyrics weren't absolute comedy gold. "Take your money, burn it up like an asteroid." Ohhhh yeah.

Ooooooooooh Papa Smurf, that must hurt. Hated them from the moment I first saw them. All that effing designer depression marketed to saddo 16 year olds got me riled. Real depression is not something to celebrate. Mike Patton would murder those jokers on stage.

I'm starting to warm to seeing Dunn in a now. Mind you, I got excited by Kevin Davies signing for us, so the heart doesn't always lead me to a happy place.

Wish he would hurry up though, it's become really boring. Here's to getting a decent left back.

Now he's back, I'll support him and hope he is brilliant, despite my worries prior to his arrival.

Think he's gone to the Breezeblock, not that that's a big loss on our part. It's too much money to risk seeing him in a again.

I don't understand Incubus. They have been billed as a metal band, yet all the singles I have heard from a couple of years ago were on a par with Toploader or Coldplay (e.g that first hit called something like 'Are You In?'). The exception was the one with the dancing Hitler video, which was a crap, nasal whine.

And another thing, there was a crap band called Hoobastank that had a tune which had someone being run over in the video. That song was a terrible rip off of Legacy by Mansun.

Anyway, I've dug up my old King Prawn CD, so I might give that a listen and remember when I went to Esquires when I was 18.

Pros: We haven't shot our load getting an overpriced player with knees made of Stilton and hamstrings made of cheesestrings. And we were not ripped off by the porn barons.

Cons: We really need a decent midfielder NOW since Reid is injured. Answers on a postcard please.

That Preston bloke has gone completely up his own @rse. i hope they show the episode on telly...just to make him look the p1llock he`s turned in to.

He does come across as a right w_nker who believes he writes such clever, witty and fantastic songs, and is a spokesperson for a generation. Maybe he feels protective of his new wife as she is a grating, irritating dribbling retard of the highest order.

I'll say it again-bring in Simon (not Max) Clifford to run things. Could also do with an organiser not afraid to try to bring new things to the set up. I won't suggest Clive Woodward, out of fear of ridicule.

I just thought he was tedious with his monologues that had the premise of:

1. Geri Halliwell is sh_t

2. Westlife are sh_t

And his tiresome comments about fellow panelists that amounted to:

1. Phil Jupitus is fat

2. Bill Bailey looks like a troll/Klingon/geek

Lamarr was a one trick pony whose ego smothered the other two guys who are far more amusing and witty than he can ever be. He wanted to be the only show in town.

Let Bolton have him for upwards of £2m. It is doubtful that he'll fulfil his early promise even if he can do a job for Fat Sam.

Better off looking for someone else as another midfielder is needed.

This might have been mentioned before, but a few months ago there was a programme on Sky One called the 50 greatest foreign Premiership players ever. How on earth Tugay wasn't even on the list is unbelievable!

6 great years and counting!

Who got on it then? I bet it was full of decent, but not great players like Wanchope, or anyone who has played for the big name clubs like Prunier.
