Niall Quinn called him world class. Doesn't make it so.

Colback to score the final in a 3-1 win.

That isn't anime, it's hentai. The lass in the black and white is going to get tentacle fucked.

Not nervous at all, sort of expecting the worst.

Luuk De Jongs effort from March is still trickling it's way to the 18 yard line.

Woodman channeling the spirit of an Idols DJ with that shit banter.

I feel for him. I hope he plays a blinder on Sunday and goes into it with the attitude of "I can be a hero". There's going to be so much pressure on his shoulders, if he deals with it and puts in a good performance he'll deserve every bit of respect that goes his way.

2-1 away win.

Depends what you want from your striker. Henry wouldn't have been as good for us for as long a time period as Shearer was.

Thierry Henry has retired from his playing career and joined Sky Sports as a football expert.

It's super effective!

Statement signing, tbh.

Easily replaceable. Arsenal would be more than welcome to him, but I think they'd be crazy to sign him.

Plenty have come back stronger and more appreciative of their careers because of it. We've seen the opposite of Ben Arfa.

I'm on 3.2.1 on iPhone and haven't been prompted for an update, thank fuck. Cheers gents.

Yep. There was no reason for Williamson to have played when Haidara and Dummett have been more than comfortable.

That's one, Alan.

I hope he takes these games, learns from them, enjoys them, and takes it into his next club at whatever level he finds himself at.

I don't recognise half of these academy kids. Imagine that first day playing lower league after reserve and academy football for however many years.

Suarez should look on them this season and be proud of what he did last season, how high he elevated them. Incredible really. We knew he carried them, but it wasn't clear as to what extent.

How the fuck couldn't Ferguson find a place for Pogba?

I read an article a few years ago which pointed out the wonder kids of games gone by who had gone on to be brilliant in real life. Vincent Kompany was one. Then you have guys like vanden Borre who didn't live up to their FM ability. Wenger is a definite advocate of the game IMO.

There's merits to using the game to make your life as a manager easier, I just don't see how a top FM player would make a good manager. So much more to managing, the pressures alone are far different and then you have the human side to it, managing 25 men from different backgrounds with different demands and issues. You might get a good idea of the tactical side to it, but the games have exploits where certain formations and training set ups get great results on that version of the game.
