Agreed James No 7, that running to the media thing really gets on your nerves. I'd also like to know why , whichever team i am, in whichever league, the assistant manager always says i havent got a good enough squad of players and will get relegated, even though in one game im top of league one by 14 points, in february. Anybody else think this game is infinatyely easier than fm 05??? i think it may be the team talks, as long as you hit the rigjht team talk button at h/t you win, that simple. As for the editor, cannae figure out how to work that one. Ryan Nelsens stats need bumping up badly and i want to change rvn's name to horseman. can only find the one database ('server') in the editor though, and that doesnt seem to change games that are already started?

Did Beardsley start out as a winger??? I think its more likely people are converted the other way, as a lot of kids seem to go into academies as strikers and come out as wingers and midfielders, even defenders. 3

I don't think its hard to be in touch with all the Leeds fans right now, there doesn't seem to be a great deal of them about!

finally bought this game. goodbye life

the average age of those protestors looks an awful lot higher than it did on SSN!

spot on: Ferguson's injury marred what was a hugely successful afternoon on Tyneside for Rovers, who claimed all three points against a disappointing Newcastle courtesy of teenager Paul Gallagher's 72nd-minute strike. The 19-year-old appeared to handle the ball as he challenged Aaron Hughes to reach Brett Emerton's cross, but Souness was happy enough to accept a stroke of luck as referee Mark Halsey saw no offence. "The goal was fortunate, but we've scored one other fortunate goal this year, which was against Tottenham which won us the game," he said. "Other than that, I can't think of any other time this year whenLady Luck has been with us. We've not had any penalties this year and I think the law of averages would tell you you'd expect a penalty if you've gone through half a season, and we haven't. "But I think our defensive display has been the rock that got us the points. The goal we got was fortunate, but hopefully we'll get a few more of them, hopefully that's the start of us getting a bit more of that type of luck that makes a difference in a game." United boss Sir Bobby Robson was unhappy with the goal, but admitted that his side had not done enough to win the game despite having a strike by Michael Chopra on his Premiership debut ruled out for offside. "It's gone," he said. "I can't complain - what's the point? I can't change it. He's knocked it in with his hand - what can I do about it?

div arent nar or divvanae means don't kow 'i divvanae like'

I reckon this one will be difficult. I think we'll rescue a point in the last 10 mins when the Geordie players fitness levels start to show, after they have gone one up from a Shearer goal.

I have 2 and a half years left, so every ten years.

the three boro fans i'm good mates with agree with you. They reckond they'll have good Uefa/ Fa cup runs and then end up relegated on the last day. could yet come true!

I think your on to something there stuwilky - i don't think having drumming is a problem - as long as its done properly. Watched Porto vs Boavista on five the other night and the porto drummer and trumpet player were first class, you could tell that the atmosphere in that stadium was amazing. Maybe Brisa could organise a whip round to get him some lessons

Tbh i think that was the only move in the Prem worth making for him, everyones seen how big Sam can rejuvanate a players career.... But surely they won't play him tomorrow?

Haircuts are vatly overrated.

Yes, i was about to mention the same thing. Hardly any of Sparky's signings have made anyone raise questions about the price being stupidly high, rather with some of them we've been more worried we are getting players too cheap (Axe, Nelsen and Kuqi). Some of our previous managers, however, did pay daft money for players we all knew weren't worth it....

Philip, this is what a Geordie says about the above article: They believe it to be bs.

Yes. Although mine seems to carry a picture of Eminem, rather than me. What was i thinking 8 years ago with that bleach?

That looks excellent. Pleased to see mentions of the both the database and the lack of young adult tickets. Amazed to hear that Rovers may not employ a PR officer. Good work fellas - if only the similar university report i have spent the last six hours on looked and sounded so good

Danns scored yesterday i noticed.

I notice Burton have a sub called Andy Todd

Get real, this is England. They will introduce them, but there will be a problem with distribution of the nnew cards, or they'll have fancy technology on them that all goes very wrong very quickly. After the first couple of months, everybody will lose interest, and it will just become something the Police use when they've run out of all other excuses/ reasons to charge people - i can imagine £50 on the spot fines being given out on a regualr basis to blacks, muslims and anyone in a hooded top.

but surely Matt is only on a very short term contract? Wasnt it week to week, month to month or something like that - maybe even 6 months - maybe it ends on tuesday, but he wanted to let other clubs get interested at the start of the transfer window, ensuring interested clubs didnt get another player in in the first few days? Thus we wouldnt get any money for him anyway.

I susdpect the reason for the gap befoere the announcement is one of two things..... 1) because thats when his contract ends. 2) because hes talking to Burnley, Bolton or PNE and the club don't want the fans to know till the deal is final.....

Did you expect it would all be laying groupies and smoking blunts? It hardly like its an exciting concept for a game.

Ive watched Koumas a few times for Cardiff, hes been utterley crap one game and then superb the next, probably fit in well at Rovers.

From the noises coming from down the road - not a chance. They are much more concerned with getting Miller in.
