    Football Manager 5 (merge)

    Gilardino was crap for me at Parma. I sold him and bought Cavenaghi for half the price. I've not looked back since.

    Football Manager 5 (merge)

    Ramin, how were your youngsters for you? Portioli, Morsi, Cenci, Pepe all seem handy for me. Probably not future world beaters but they will help and I could sell them for a few bob.

    Football Manager 5 (merge)

    I started 5.02 with Parma, things are going fine. Only lost one pre season friendly, two games into the league I've won both, one was away to Lecce. No goals conceded yet either. I'm playing Frey Ferronetti-Bonera-Cannavaro-Mila(Poland) Bresciano-Guarin-Pepe-Gargarov(Bulgaria)...

    Tevez

    Can't see a thread about it here, but he has gone to Corinthians of Brasil. Pretty crazy if you ask me.

    Football Manager 5 (merge)

    How do the monthly payments work? They've always seemed pointless to me as I can't exceed my transfer budget even with them, so I always just pay the full lot up front. Seems the same in FM too. I'm playing on a mate's computer, as Man Utd (yeah....I know). First time I've ever...

    Redevelopment of Delle Alpi

    I hope they leave space for our third star on the seating.

    Bojinov

    I think we should be more interested in Bojinov than Pazzini personally! And £5m is an amazingly low price. If I were Lecce, I'd really consider pushing it up a lot more (unless Juve come knocking of course ;) ) because it's not often a smaller club like themselves have such a valuable young...

    Bojinov

    I think he's a pretty decent player. He seems to be doing good this year too. Apparently, Arsenal are lining up a £5m bid to replace Bergkamp, and Barcelona are interested. Now we have Zlatan I don't think we would need him and he wouldn't be a good 4th striker unless Capello rotated very...

    Repurcusions for Roma

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/3661010.stm Dynamo Kiev were awarded a 3-0 win over AS Roma after their Champions League tie was halted when the referee was hit by an object thrown from the crowd. Uefa has also ordered Roma to play their next two European games behind closed...

    Man United's Italian starlet

    I believe they poached him from Parma and they were miffed because they got no, or very little, compensation. Same thing as what happened when Man U got some defender from Barcelona, and Arsenal got Flamini from Marseille.

    The "English Football is Superior" Thread

    He didn't sound silly because he had a London accent. But the quote in italics could not have sounded worse than a person saying it in a smug fashion with a London accent. I also don't have a vendetta against the EPL. I like watching most football. What I don't like is when smug English...

    The "English Football is Superior" Thread

    Strachan is great. Annoying accent, sometimes I disagree with him, but he speaks his mind and it's usually a good point! In Euro, someone said that Sven Goran Erikson was "revolutionary" (LOL) for playing 4 attacking midfielders. And look how well that worked. The thing is, there is no one in...

    Aaah, the drama in Rome...

    Well for once Totti is talking sense....sort of. He is right about enough is enough with Cassano. I wonder how Cassano will take this though. I get the feeling he might ask to be transfer listed. No way was he ever worth £20m. Another stupid Roma error. That last comment is pretty good.

    Catch the Match..

    Is it on in the UK anywhere? I will catch the goals on Monday on Sgorio, hopefully they will choose juve for their extended highlights this week too. :)

    Repurcusions for Roma

    Xziz, I agree with you. I personally have some respect for the fans, and the club, AC Milan. They have achieved over the years and it is a healthy rivalry. However, Roma fans just take it completely out of hand. Not only is their club pure crap but they have a foolish management who jivvy up the...

    The "English Football is Superior" Thread

    Post here anecdotes of smug English pundits/ commentators/ fans making comments that t imply English football, in particular the EPL is the best. During the England match against Austria, when England scored their second goal it was down to good closing down by Gerrard. Here is a paraphrase...

    Chelsea's Robinho failure

    Never seen him play and he would never be a Juve man anyway. Did Diego play for Porto in the CL the other day? As for Chelsea, why do they need Robinho? And if 12mil was rejected, why not just keep throwing money around like we know they can. ""I am not interested in going to a...
