The Football Thread

[Snaus]

A wee bit off topic, but:

Does anyone else here play the Football Manager Live mmo?

It's a total mayhem on their site atm . Today they anounced a reset of the gameworlds in a few months (i.e. you loose all your efforts of the past year).

They have over 2200 posts in the anouncement-thread since the anouncement this afternoon, and over 30 threads that got closed almost immediatly.

We are a bit upset.

All I can say to anyone looking at this post is...

MAYNOR FIGUEROA

...unbelievable goal. Forget Xabi Alonso, that was just as good (if not better?) than Beckham .vs. Wimbledon in '97.

Congrats Soph. Good win today.

Lol well I'm a United fan, so I got mine this weekend.

My Championship team are Watford and they got beat by bottom of the league Peterborough, so it couldn't have been a worse footballing weekend to be honest. Hang on, actually it could - Chelsea winning and going 6 points clear.

Although as a United fan it always eases the pain to see the Scouse get beat and to see City sack a manager, even if it is the legend that is Sparky.

I wouldn't give Celtic the time of day, but even I know there was nothing wrong with that goal they got chopped off...


I'm just glad they did =/

We're not great, we're not bad. We're mediocre, as are Celtic. But their players are taking responsibility, shouting for their ball. We on the other hand and just letting it roll past and hoping someone else will pick it up. Not good enough. At all.

I am a United fan.... And in the championship my team is Ipswich just because of the Irish hero that is Roy Keane. They started the season terribly but they are slowly crawling up the table... United are down 1 - 0 to LEEDS! McGeady will win this one for us Soph.

Ehhh... How about no? ;]

Come on, a dumpling like McCulloch just scored against you!

In spite of the fact it was a good match to watch today, I am severely disappointed. Too many defeats already this season for the whole season and once Sir Alex picks a team like he did today (which were perfectly capable of winning by a reasonable margin), there's only so much he can do. We need to be scoring more, and become a lot more clinical.

Thought that Anderson had a stormer of a game, Fabio also played alright; but otherwise everyone else should've been better. I am a big Berbatov hater too - he is not good enough imo.
