new italy away kit is kind of ugly :(

i mean it's not that bad, but i miss the ones that were mainly all white and classy looking. hopefully this will grow on me, <3 puma

Like it, but hate the home.
 
Doesn't that show that abate's foot is in line with Matri's body?

Also, blaming the referee/linesman is one thing, but what do we have to do with it?

nothing, i'm just tired with juve trolls saying we didn't get screwed over because of that offside call, which in any case was extremely close

Zlatan is no stranger for slapping and punching players, of course they're going to give him three games at least.

exactly. he has different standards than other players.
 
In fairness he had a pretty bad/inconsistent season in 07/08, by his standards at least. We tried to sell him on the back of that but couldn't get Barry. Then he had that fantastic season the year after but he just didn't want to stay cause of how he was treated.

Our midfield used to consist of three truly world class players :(

We never should have sold him. He didn't have that bad a season. I think the reason Barry was getting stick (and I feel sorry for him there reading dc89's interview) was because the fans who loved Alonso were pissed off that Rafa had soured things with him while showing interest in Barry and others... the Alonso saga was Rafa's one and only mis-step -- the club wasn't helping him make good decisions financially, but ultimately, I think he should have known how important he was. Nothing was the same after that transfer, the core of the team broke down completely.

When I think of the dross who stayed behind, and the shit players we signed in subsequent seasons - who stuck around as dead wood until relatively recently... fuck me. So glad Hicks & Gillett got forced out.

I'm sure Lukaku will feature more next season as will De Bruyne.

I'm a Genk resident (and longtime fan), and I highly doubt De Bruyne is ready to be a regular at Chelsea next season. He's still too dormant in most Genk games. If anything, it's Courtois who's looking most ready of Chelsea's Belgian talents.
Thanks 4 da munneez tho, lolz.

Haha, I love Rafa, but it was by no means his only mis-step.

Cattermole and Bendtner's case of criminal damages against cars parked in Newcastle has been adjourned untill the end of March.

What a tasty derby this will be.

Wouldn't mind a decent developer having a crack at a football game seeing as EA are so far ahead in terms of sales that they badly dial it in every year. Problem is Double Helix games don't have the best track record so seem strange choice for a product that could sell very well.
 
Speaking of double standards, if you missed my edit.

i stopped watching when i saw a strange alien language and then van bommel's accidental knee bump on vidal. was it a video about accidental collisions? booooooooooooring.

also i think it's funny that you seem to agree that there is a double standard for zlatan (because of his history) but seem to want to argue about it any way.

Damn no Euro 2012 from EA? Somewhat of a letdown, don't they want my money?

FIFA Street demo is dropping tomorrow and Wednesday depending on location.... Exciting.

wow, the home side getting slightly more favorable decisions on some close calls.

also, wiz khalifa ughhhh.

Haha sorry I didn't make the video

I'm just saying, it swings both ways, both sides got decisions against them. The linesmen were all sleeping during the game :/

I don't agree there's a double standard for Ibra, but his reputation (repeat offender/bans) guarantees maximum punishment. If Abate punches someone in the face, his ban is likely going to be reduced.

While I'm sad about the potential Euro game, I'm glad that I only need to drop money for two football games instead of three this year ><

Can't wait for FIFA Street demo!!!

EA lost the Euro 12 rights. Warner Bros got the rights now, and Double Helix Games is developing the game. Good luck with that!

Disappointing, WC2010 was a surprisingly decent game

Until England got knocked out and I traded it in.

mexes is also a repeat offender but got the same ban as zlatan for something much more severe. last season zlatan got banned for swearing to himself while walking in front of a referee, while this season vucinic was caught clearly screaming at a ref telling his family to go fuck themselves, and yet there was no punishment. the lega fucking hates zlatan, this is a double standard whether you choose to acknowledge it or not.

also, one of the people on the disciplinary panel said that the reason they did not reduce zlatan's ban was because our next game was against juve, and it would have looked bad, which is just sad and shows that cunte's crying about referees pays off.

Fifa Street is the one you guys should not pay full price for it. When was the last time, it had depth?

I am waiting to hit sub £20

Oh wow..

Alright, Frank.
 
Once the real version comes out, we will need to organize some tournaments and such. Although I'm sure we are all split right down the middle in terms of which console we play on.

Deffo! Played the original with a mate until 4AM the other night, once we got the hang of it we had a blast.

Laughed at everything the commentator said aswell, "Super duper bad boy finish" was the highlight I think.

While until I play the game, it is fair to say, but based on the previews, it looks like it will have some good depth to it. Regardless, just because you feel it shouldn't be purchased until discounted, it doesn't mean I feel the same way. I'm looking for a casual and fun game to play, that is more enjoyable to play with friends, or just pick-up and play where I don't want to destroy shit because of being competitive. This is (hopefully) the game I can do that with. Worth the $60 IMO.

This version is a complete overhaul of previous versions though, in fact from what I can see the only thing thats carrying over is the scoring system for strings of tricks.

Also if we are going to go there, essentially we should never pay full price for any FIFA game or sports game for that matter because most of the time it's just an update of previous versions.

When was the last time the FIFA team made one? Not EA Big.

Awesome, you are on. Pity fady is a ps3 clown.

They should have got Hughton and let Brum keep McLeish. Easily the manager that advocates the most turgid style of play in the Premier League. At least Stoke games can be rather entertaining.
 
lol pato injured AGAIN. and bonera and nesta are still out.

if yepes does not make a miraculous recovery, we are going to have to play with primavera player rodrigo ely against palermo as a partner to silva.

this is unreal. :lol
