Village Idiot

Heh just noticed Cabella has the most league assists in the team... with 2.

Costa rested from the Spain squad... man, I hate all the Costa injury shenanigans. Now I'm going to pull the captaincy off him and he will score a shitload

Told you lot he's awful. Sevilla laughed all the way to the bank here.

Guardiola won't be back so soon. Anyway, after watching the game a friend of mine and I were talking about Ajax's squad, and how they lose every great player they manage to develop. So we came up with a "What if Ajax was able to keep their players XI" like in the early 90s. Stekelenburg Van der Wiel Vermaelen Verthongen D. Blind N. De Jong Eriksen Sneijder S. De Jong Zlatan Suárez Am I missing somebody? Dropped Huntelaar because there's two #9 already, and didn't include Van der Vaart since he is past his best. I'm aware Blind has excelled in midfield but I couldn't think of another LB.

Ok, not "crowing" but I didn't completely make that up. http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2014/09/17/nottingham-forest-plotting-to-buy-newcastle-duo-back-says-al-has/

Weren't Forest crowing about getting back those youngsters you bought in case they got promoted and you got relegated?

Well, we improved a lot in the second half, although we were dire in the first. Still not clicking. I understand what Lucho is trying to do, though, and I'm willing to give him time. I feel weird with us trying to be so direct though

City in Europe, really

Messi joint CL all time goalscorer now. Tied with Raúl and one goal above Ronaldo.

Much better this half. Now cue an Ajax goal.

What the f*** is this s***. They are playing like we should. I know they sort of invented the style, but still...

The sky is blue, roses are red, City is losing an European match.

I admit that the only Ajax players I know are the ones I have bought in FM.

Ajax: Cillessen; V.Rhijn, Veltman, Moisander, Boilesen; Klaassen, Serero, Andersen; El Ghazi, Sigthorsson, Schone. Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Alves, Bartra, Mascherano, Jordi Alba; Busquets; Xavi, Rakitic; Neymar, Messi, Suárez.

It's like you lot are the unwitting main characters in a football-set remake of "Gaslight".

Mare de Déu Senyor...

1610; if I were Pardew I would have been sacked months ago.

Hasn't VI said that this is common and not strange at all in Spain? Hasn't VI said that this is common and not strange at all in Spain? Happened a fair bit, not sure if it still happens mind. It's sort of faded out since clubs started doing good old-school bribing. Joking aside, it was quite common until a few years ago, when we started tightening our rules (it was illegal before, but hard to enforce and sort of tolerated).

Castilla is in the Spanish third tier; I would expect he's good enough for that at least.

Go back to unseeded, all knockout tournament imho. Having it as a lesser copy of the CL just diminishes it. The group phase is dreary anyway.

Delighted. Amazing news.

#Pards4Barca. Just realized our fortunes are linked You get relegated = we win the treble You appoint Pardew as manager = we win the CL You finish 5th = we miss on the league for the first time in four years The following season when you flirted with relegation = we win back the league

Ah man, f*** this 19 shots on goal, 4 posts. NUFC doing better than us atm, I will gloryhunt on you.

I knew it

Celta's keeper taking the piss now. FFS.
