I'm in the Travelodge. Think it's better for what I want to do. Would usually stay premier Inn but it's a bit cheaper with WiFi and brekky thrown in at the Travelodge. Cheap hotel for when I'll be getting drunk is my philosophy

I'm coming up for it. It'll be my first home game for around 2 years (due to living in Spain and health reasons) staying over night (Saturday) couple of beers pre-match then quite a few after. Any decent pub to go to after the match that will have something on?
Cheers.

Good luck, hope you're back to full health asap.

When I caught the end of the trailer last night I honestly thought it was the tripods being remade, never thought it would be war of the world's. When I was a kid and went to my dad's I would listen to the Jeff Wayne's musical version on record every Sunday and watch the black and white film. Can't ...

Recording it shhhhhh.

Taylor is a better left back then Pieters so should be in the team. Lowton needs dropping too although Bardsley replacing him isnt a massive plus but he's more solid. New RB is needed very soon.

I've bought the odd FIFA points every now and again over the years. But it's the "pro's" who definitely get looked after. To not have to trade or snipe you need to spend £££ otherwise by the time you've got a decent team they've changed the facking game play again. It isn't worth it any more. EA hav...

Have gou seen Rouwen Hennings price on there, 10k!!!

I got market banned for passing my stepson coins. Had 1.5m too. Well 300k and a 1.2m team. So had to start again on another account ffs

cant stick with same team for too long. No patience me.

WestMidsClaret

I just got the entire Burnley team. I can't play with anyone else! It's quite satisfying though pasting some kid with hundreds of pounds worth of players, especially if it's a late header from Barnes. Problem is I have coins and nothing to spend them on till there are some in form clarets! Your coi...

Cheer up Willie ffs.

Players who are decent that I've used are Aguero, Suarez, scream ozil (you can get him free by doing seasonal objectives) fullbacks are pap keeper is Navas/de Gea/Alison but he's gone shite for me now. Centre backs are all meh imo even icons. Used most wingers and they're a bit meh too. I'm still wo...

WestMidsClaret

Aye. Take your finger off sprint. Just use it when through on goal or you want to your player to create some space. It took my 5 FIFA's to get that finger off the sprint button. As for defending like cm4 says hold L2 and don't use the sprint button unless you're chasing. Set you custom basics up too...

Think Burton v Leicester would be a good gzme to watch Dougie.

It's a waste of money and resources that could be better spent elsewhere

Spot on. We now have something akin to someone working on the shop floor and becoming a supervisor with experience and then making board level decisions....the ex players at a high level have the best knowledge as to how the game works so are best placed to apply the laws correctly.... However, the...

You've twice made an assumption about me and twice been wrong. That's why I made an assumption about you. If you hadn't of said anything I wouldn't have retorted the way I did.

Ex player who did you play for?

********. No im really not. You're, incorrectly, assuming stuff. I havent said that you dont think you're ever wrong like you did with me. You're just trying to start a weird argument on the internet with someone you've never met. I've seen you post a lot if stuff to "try" and wind people up. Maybe ...

No but they know the game better then people whove hardly played at a decent level. And i also said they dont necessaily have to actually ref the game, educate the ones that do want fi try it to certain things that happen in football like a player who doesnt actually trip anotherplayer etc. Are you ...

If you're chatting to me then you obviously dont know me. I hold my hands if im wrong. I dont hide behind an institue. Bit weird.

Me?

WestMidsClaret

You dont have to get ex players actually reffing but get them to educate people who may want to be refs.

WestMidsClaret

I didn’t say I had the answer but trying to get ex professionals into refereeing isn’t it. I guess trying to get young people interested and improving coaching would be more realistic. It'd be better then the idiots we have know. They get young people interested but it's young people so they grow o...

Has he not been around the professional game long enough that he'll know more then someone who refs 12 year olds or "footballers" puking on the side of a pitch.

No idea. What's the answer? We just continue to have **** refs?

WestMidsClaret

John Deary reffed really low down and he said its like a minefield. That's for someone who knows the game or at the very least has an understanding of it better then someone who starts off reffing kids or pub teams.

That's the base that refs start from.

Because the game needs it. And **** this Sunday football shite reffing off too. That's why refs are ****.

WestMidsClaret

The "professionals" are also ****. Most of them haven't played football at a decent level. It's mind boggling that hardly any ex players have tried their hand at reffing. That says something in itself. And I don't mean because it's a hard job. It's not what the institute want. That decision yesterda...

Aye some Welsh bloke. Killed 4 people.

Christ was that 17 years ago. I remember it well. Was sat next to 2 women who nearly got thrown out. Can't remember what for like.

WestMidsClaret

Wasn't there a serial killer or maybe he killed just one person (can't remember) who was once on bullseye?

WestMidsClaret

Yep, I so desperately wanted him to do well. And there were a few promising signs at the start. He was right, for example, to make the point that Rooney could not be a guaranteed figure based on his past glories. But the dreadful football that he spearheaded at Middlesbrough was on display even whe...

Henderson was comfortably one of our best players at the World Cup last year, yet got knocked then. He's a player a lot of fans don't see until he's missing - however, I agree he's had a few dodgy games for England since then, but is playing well for Liverpool, so perhaps it's also about who he's p...

This is exactly what I expected when he got the job. Then he turned my opinion around, now I've gone back to what I knew was going to happen. We looked pretty dangerous going forward last night.

Happy WMHD. It's about time the government really looked in to this rather then to pretend they are. The help out there is shocking. Most help that you do get if you're that bad lasts for about 8 weeks. They haven't got a clue what they are doing. Most GPs aren't trained in mental health. There real...
