    Supposedly good players you would never sign again?

    Balotelli. Only paid £5m for him after 3 seasons, and he played fairly well, got quite a few goals, but his lack of teamwork was so frustrating. The amount of times I was shouting at the screen because he'd gone for goal himself rather than make an easy pass to a player with an open goal.

    Nine players set to leave Aston Villa.

    I don't see how getting rid of the afore mentioned players would put us in contention for relegation. Dunne & Warnock have been largely to blame for our current situation IMO, and aside from NRC & Friedel (who won't go until the end of the season) the rest of them wouldn't be anywhere near my...

    Nine players set to leave Aston Villa.

    i did mention something about Carew not trying. Warnock wasn't exactly great last season either IMO, especially towards the end of the season, he has some good games but he's a liability. I'd agree with you about Ireland needing more time, and KMac did play him out of position, but to be honest...

    Nine players set to leave Aston Villa.

    I'm assuming Habib Beye is the 9th. Don't have a problem with any of those players leaving aside from NRC, i think he still has a job to do at the club. I don't think we should allow Curtis Davies' ability in FM cloud our judgement, playing next to Laursen he looked like he had the potential to...

    Who is the best player who you have an autograph of?

    Dion Dublin, Lee Hendrie, Stan Collymore, Savo Milosevic. also I recently discovered I have a Doug Ellis autograph, no idea why.

    World of Warcraft Cataclysm

    I no longer have any of my original discs so I tried to re-install the game through battle.net, y'know.. just in case.. anyway I kept getting 'connection has timed-out' messages, assumed it was due to Cata traffic so I gave up. probably a blessing in disguise.

    World of Warcraft Cataclysm

    Firefighter (25) was the fight we were struggling with before I quit, got it on 10 man though. I guess I was what you'd consider a 'hardcore' raider for quite a while, cleared all but Sunwell in TBC, got a few decent achievements in WotLK before I quit (World No. 30 for the Flame Leviathon HM)...

    World of Warcraft Cataclysm

    I haven't played since Ulduar (year and a half?), cleared all but a couple of the hard modes & Algalon within a couple of months of release and got bored, wasn't a big fan of WotLK. and I'm still getting tons of emails to my hotmail account. tempted to start playing again with Cata, but I don't...

    Positions

    I have a couple of questions regarding player positions. Firstly the top R/L positions on the pitch. It's not a major concern as none of my formations employ players in these positions, but I experimented with them for a couple of games and became a little confused. When you put a player in...

    Aston Villa: 4th season. Bradford City: 2nd season. Girondins Bordeaux: 2nd season. usually get bored with my big team saves after 4/5 seasons.

    Highest Fee

    Aston Villa save: Chelsea paid £40m for Alexis Sanchez, and Manure bought Ronaldo back for £46m. Man City paid a fortune for Bale aswell but i can't remember the exact figure. Bradford City save: bought Alan Martin from Leeds for £8,000, got a lot of scepticism for buying a player from my...

    Help With Counter-Attacking Tactic

    my DMs are both set to Direct (16) passing, and my CM set to Mixed (13, one notch below Direct), i should have mentioned that in the OP. the D-Line was something i was concerned about and i've now adjusted that to a deeper setting. the thinking behind the narrow width and passing, and using...
