On the BBC site now. Real shame

That's a big blow for the team and Reid himself

I'm guessing Hughes might mention something about it pre/post match with Arsenal later.

No chance (in UK based stores), unless you want to have fun on ebay. If you do, ignore the Buy It Now items that require you to contact the seller to be added to their list - just a handy tip to save you wasting time

You could try this site out http://www.wiipreorder.co.uk but with tomorrow being new years day I'm not sure there'll be new stock until Tuesday.

The way I've read about it on the SIGames forums you may also get a message to say they've been granted one. But I'm yet to see that.

Damn you WelshRover, now I want one even more

Reading through all these posts and my own experiences with the shop I find it embarrasing that in this day and age a club in the Premiership techincally doesn't have a club shop.

Belgian clubs are quite good for permits, they take about 3 seasons.

It's either that or they start playing a lot of games for their country.

For me, Nolan has earnt a place in the first team should todds injury keep him out. I am looking forward to the Lucas debate resuming shortly...

Really? Ok it's his senior team debut but I saw a few occasions where he was almost caught out with holding on to the ball. He ran his luck with that offside in the second half too.

He did make the odd decent run though.

Usually when you install updates for FM it adds the language packs. Happens in earlier versions anyway.

I am coming up to my fourth season and Lebhong Mokoena still hasnt got a work permitt even though I sent him on loan to the feeder club from day 1. He is worth 10m now and I cant use him

Have you tried offering him a new contract?

This site is a bit of an eye opener to the problem with the strap on the controller:

Still, doesn't put me off wanting one after the rush has died down, think that's more down to people getting carried away.

Prefer last season's to this one. The changes they have brought in are good but mean that you have to alter your team settings massively for every game you go in to.

Last time i was able to basically leave my settings for an entire season with only injuries and suspensions causing me problems.

Having flitered through some of the fixes listed above I'm not quite sure what you mean by this?

I've had to result to bringing in Kevin Campbell as cover till the end of the season, I was outside the transfer window and he was the best about on a free! All because my strikers are injuring themselves all the time.

On the annoying transfer side I had Leeds come in for Andy Todd, they constantly enquired how much I wanted for him, gave them a price, they pull out. No matter what price I put they pulled out, until I offered him on free, as he was affecting team morale.

Has anyone tried 2v2 online? I have to say, if you get a decent set of players, it's quite enjoyable. Been playing this more than single player at moment.

Do many of you play online? We could set up a BRFCS group, to gain points as a group.

Weird, I remember an old FIFA cheat that would open up some alien abduction mode. Random moments in the game it would cut to a ship flying overhead and abducting one of the players.

Hehe, yeah that line confused me too.

I use dBpowerAMP. Very easy to use, it's just a case of (once you've installed it) right clicking the selection of files and clicking Convert.

Afraid Im just pointing out that we'll only be 3 points above the drop zone with two extremely hard games to come.

Sky just showed Villa's penalty decision=what a joke.

I wasn't being sarcastic to you, I meant playing Man Utd

This performance has been absolutely pathetic and just seems to sum us up.

Utd up next as well. We could quite easily get dragged in to the bottom three if we're not careful.

Just what we need, another morale booster!

Zurab was slightly unlucky. Looked like he was running backwards and the ball (passed from Gray) got stuck under his feet so he quickly tried to get his boot on it which hit Angel and allowed him to run through.

One guy I'd completely forgotten about until another team signed him, Didier Digard. Plays at CB and DM, young and very cheap.

I started a season with rovers, my only transfer at the start of the season was Matt Taylor from Portsmouth to play at LB.

Currently struggling to get out of the drop zone, although 3 injuries to Benni McCarthy hasn't helped (all 3 being 2 months out).

Started getting a few more decent draws against the top teams and hopefully turning things around.

I have to agree with HC about West Ham's dominance, ah well.

My PC version arrived in the post yesterday. There's a little sticker on the front that says you can play online versus PS2 players - sounds good!

It will happen, bandwidth clips have doubled since the first start of the World product, so I'm sure we'll move onto the next speed increases.

PTV do collect stats on what are the speeds that the clips are being accessed so it is only a matter of time.

Excellent

I'd just like to see an improvement in the video quality of the highlights. In this day and age I don't see why the quality can't be doubled.
