I was quite excited when I thought this was going to be a one player career mode like they do in various other sports games, but now that it appears that it simply allows you to take control of a single existing player I find it less interesting.

I've found the ports that need to be opened and I think I have done it (exceptions on windows firewall thing), but still no luck.

No ideas?

I have a friend who has fully functioning internet but for some reason he is unable to connect or host any fm games. Has anyone come across this problem before or know how he can fix it? We're pretty sure it is a problem with his router, but I can't really understand why it isn't working.

Yes.

Well, it would be interesting to find out what his wages actually are. He can't possibly be on 60k a week, but the only other thing that would make sense given the figures being stated in these articles would be that he is earning $8 million over 5 years, but that would put him on only just over 12k a week. The other thing that I can think of is that it is 8 million US dollars, which would be over £15k a week, which is a bit lower than the 20k you would expect.

He hasn't quite replaced Viera, but Viera hasn't been the same player since he left either.

Totally agree. Wenger, like Ferguson, has got pretty much every transfer decision correct, particularly when letting players go and has also shown himself to be more than capable of replacing star players. I think it is also easy to forget just how little Henry played last season and the fact that he didnt score a league goal after February (I think). Arsenal will be weaker, but it is more than enough money to bring in a good quality forward and Wenger could easily find another star from somewhere.

You can't stand still, but that doesn't mean you move forward by selling your best players. We need to hang onto the likes of Benni, MGP and Bentley, whilst at the same time improving the other areas of the team. It will probably be quite some time before we are in a position where that type of player should be sold because we have found a much better replacement.

Berbatov has recieved 50% of the votes so far, simply crazy.

I can also give Forza a very good review. I'm not big on racing games, but this is a very, very good one.

It is a bit like that James and for that reason I'm glad that I have a 360 as well as a wii, but I can happily do my wii fitness test everyday, meaning that I play the wii for at least 10-15 minutes a day which is more than I do my 360. It is a great console when people are around, but it is still enjoyable by yourself.

I just think that he is an effective substitute but the side would really suffer if we were having to rely on him. His job was also made easier by the skill and movement of Benni and I'm also sure that he could learn a great deal from him if he stayed. Benni is the one striker we have who can regularly pose a threat to any side we face, we can't afford to lose that.

Don't think so. We had a lot of good goals and it was difficult to pick between them, but you can certainly understand someone thinking that Benni's was the best, particularly when the importance and timing of the goal are considered.

Derbyshire may well score a few more goals next season, but he isn't in the same class as Benni and he never will be.

That's quite possible as I haven't done that.

haha no

Still never happened to me.

I suppose and I guess you could argue that Mascherano was only there for half a season.

As he only played half of the season you can understand why he isn't.

He is amazingly 40/1 with a couple of bookmakers to finish top goalscorer next season (Viduka has better odds).

Are you sure your vodka isn't coming from the Russian mafia?

Really does help to get good coaches, take a look at what they are doing and maximise their talent. It also helps having some good physios as well as getting in some good scouts and sending them around.

It's hardly important. No one cares who wins this tournament, it's nice if you do, but nothing more. I can understand people not liking it, but it seems the right decision. If he wants to play for England then he has a good chance of getting in the side next year, a couple of extra weeks of rest might just help him to feel that little bit fresher and might make the difference.

Don't have it hooked up online, plus I only have wii sports at the minute.
