Fatawu against Southampton in 23/24 surely?

Burnley lost to them about two weeks ago

I think it should be an offence but I don't think giving the other team an 80% chance of scoring a goal is a proportionate punishment for that offence

Go on Brentford, be great if they stay up

I wouldn't expect him to save the header but I would expect him to come out and claim the ball - comes a very long way and ends up about ten yards from goal

Him and Winks were both taking the piss towards the end of the game, just dancing around and through their players like they weren't there. I'm hoping we might actually look half decent if we get our good footballers into the team

I'm a bit late to the party but Three Bean Salad is exceptional. What Did You Do Yesterday? is very good as well though like all things guest-based it can vary depending on who they've got on.

Sorry mate but I think you may have been brainwashed

I think there may be a simpler explanation for why people would rather see Monga play than Reid

I'm not really that worried about him making mistakes. Players make mistakes, particularly ones without that much first-team experience. If he ends up dropping clangers week after week then obviously that's different but we're not there yet. His distribution however I think has the potential to be a big problem. I know some of our more...let's say old-fashioned supporters get very cross at the suggestion it's helpful for your goalkeeper to be able to kick the ball vaguely in the direction they want it to go, but it is.

Yeah that's enough now. Injuries aside I don't want to see him start another game for us and even then it's hard to believe there aren't players in our academy who can provide at least as much as he does. James contributed more in about 15 minutes than Skipp has in over a year.

It would have been a certain goal but the keeper got a very slight touch just before it came to Akpom that changed the trajectory in a way he couldn't quite adjust to. I think he would have needed genuinely superhuman reactions to score. On another note, Sheff Utd look absolutely tragic

Lovely work from the one and only Jools Holland on the outro as well if memory serves

Can't say I was familiar with him but remarkable to now read some of his previous comments on shootings and their victims. Awful thing for a family to have to witness.

So can Aluko basically play anywhere along the back line? Seems to have been mostly a left back last season and that's where he came on for his debut, then I think he was playing centre back in pre-season and right back tonight

I quite like the way it looks but it really doesn't seem like any of those changes are the sort that are actually going to materially impact the way you play the game, or are anything that skin creators couldn't replicate. What does the Portal screen allow you to do that the Home screen didn't? Maybe they all add up and you need to feel it for yourself to appreciate it. FMpedia I suppose is a good idea for new or returning players who find it a bit overwhelming these days but I'm not sure how big the overlap is between people who are playing a football management game and people who need help understanding what a squad is. Between the match footage and this, it does very much look like a fresh coat of paint over the exact same game which is underwhelming after two years.

Getting done for pace by Harry Kane should be an automatic red card so no complaints from me

Always good to see British coaches testing themselves abroad so fair play to him. Difficult to wish him luck while Bobby Reid still has two years on his contract and Skipp is here until 2029 but it'll be interesting to see how he fares

As far as I know the new Vault Hunters are part of the story pack DLCs, the first of which is scheduled for Q1 next year

Buzzing. First time I've not been able to decide which character I'll start with, usually there's one or two that don't do it for me but this time they all look class

If nothing else you've got to admire the brass balls of sticking up two AI topics in less than an hour

We've got three senior keepers which is in no way out of the ordinary

In terms of what they achieved here it's obviously not Rodgers but I can understand those shouts because he's the only one I can remember visibly giving up trying to manage the team in favour of politicking and protecting his reputation. Don't think I'll ever forget him bringing on ****ing Lewis Brunt at left back away at Forest, or conversely not bringing on anyone against Brentford and then blaming the heat. His early 19/20 team was still the one I've had the most fun watching and being at Wembley for the cup win was a special thing to experience so I think I give him a bit more slack than most as a result. Taylor is before my time but he seems the obvious one. More recently Cooper and Ruud were both abysmal, the latter record-breakingly so - given what we saw from him I'm amazed anyone thinks we'd have been noticeably better off if he'd also been given a pre-season and money to spend, the guy was genuinely clueless. Holloway unarguably gets in the conversation too for taking us to our literal lowest point, and Sousa probably also deserves a mention for so quickly stripping our team of all the positive qualities Pearson had imbued it with.

As a primarily 2D user I can't say I care that much about what the graphics look like but here they are. Lighting and stadium/environment are quite nice, animations and models less so. I think it'll probably look pretty decent from the more zoomed out camera angles. Minimum and recommended specs up on Steam for anyone wondering.

Jordan Ayew's goal against Chad has brought to my attention for the first time their flag, which is almost exactly the same as Romania's
