Newcastle vs. Spurs gloating thread.

I can't wait for the version where you can accidentally make racist comments/ethnic slurs to the media.

Then it will be just like real football management.

Yeah... I'm doubting that happens . Marc just wouldn't go for it, I'm sure .

Does the current version of the game include random generation of young players coming up the farm system?

You can even add your own picture, we even have a 'poly member in the official database. *

Talking about player loyalty...

In CM 96/97 I had James Lambert who I brought to Chelsea from Reading. I played him at the left side of a back three in 3-5-2. He was young and playing next to Dessailly seemed to pay off, soon he was Chelsea Captain, had great stats and was playing really well and really consistently, then when I was England manager as well and he came straight into the England starting line-up as Captain, from which position he lifted the world cup in 2002.

ps. I'm also in the "not buying it it's too addictive" camp.

So much for the plonker who said Olympiakos were a good team.

4-0 now and they're 7-1 down in the tie.

I didn't watch yesterday's match, but it's no surprise to me. Olympiakos is used to flunk away games in international matches. No sweat; as I said, I 'm a Panathinaikos fan, so if my post brought Olympiakos bad luck, then I should do this more often.

This of course doesn't change my opinion that Newcastle was bad in the first leg.

As for Olympiakos, they have only one win in the last 6 matches. That team is old and tired, they have no reliable substitutions and they did no transfers at all this winter. They are still on top of the Championship, just because our team is really mediocre as well. But we are more fresh and we play them in our home in 3 weeks, so we should come out on top at the end. At least our Championship has more suspense than the English Premier League.

Olympiakos              46
Panathinaikos          46
AEK                          45
Xanthi                      39
PAOK                        35

Yes.

But are the players randomly generated youngsters or are they regenerated retired players with random new names? I know there were a lot of people calling for a change to the former.

Thats about all thats exciting about it.

Randomly generated youngsters. And the generation has been fixed a bit in the last patch, so they are just as good as some retired players.

Do we have any Tottenham who? fans at Poly?

I'm a Spurs fan, but I don't post here anymore. This post doesn't exist.

Damn you Agathon. And damn those criminally insane geordie footballers too.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Haw haw .

And we have an outside chance of getting to the 6th spot in the table. We have a game in hand and are only 6 points shy of Bolton who currently occupy that spot. With the way everyone ahead of us is playing, we may have a shot.

So.. Middlesborough are gone from UEFA after Sporting took care of them. Newcastle as the only English team left in the UEFA tourney, IIRC.

[Maquiladora]

Middlesborough didnt do too badly to say its their first time in europe. Job and Nemeth were awful, Downing was quality again.

Steve Mcclaren as England manager cant come soon enough.

Newcastle are 7/2 favourites for the the Uefa cup, Sporting and Villarreal 4/1. Chelsea 3/1 favourites for the CL, Milan 7/2. Not been a bad year so far for English club football.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well Boro was also without like 9 players who were injured. That hurts, though they were already down 3-2 before going to Portugal.

Yeah, England has done well this year in Europe. It's surprising, really .
