adios

This must be some download.

Totally agree with @Howay. This team will fuck a side lacking in confidence right over.

Aye, I think it became evident soon after kick-off why Mbemba was the right choice. Was it that Diouf on their right?

Also nice that under Rafa when a team equalise you still think "we can beat these fuckers" whereas for too long we've been wondering how many the team'll lose by.

@The Fish will be in momentarily to post his thesis on what Rafa's tactics are and some big foreign word to explain it all.

Aye, unbelievably well drilled. Probably the fittest team in the Premiership too.

Ashley? Bloody apologist!

If Ashley doesn't invest in January, I'll personally go over there and shoot the cunt.

GET THE FOOK IN! Abraham would have had a hattrick today; fanks Mike. The less said about Joselu today, the better, but an excellent performance most of the way around. Special mention for Perez; more of that please.

Played the demo a bit. Not as free-flowing or satisfying as PES 2018 for me. Does FIFA just reward you the more you put into it? I played it for years (while it was clearly superior) but didn't put a lot of time into it, so maybe PES is better for casuals. Tried myClub for the first time last night, which is fucking addictive.

Like winning the League.

I'm quite confident about this one too, so no doubt it'll be 5-0 to them.

I actually thought that was a line straight out of Brass Eye till I opened the article.

Quite happy that Shelvey can't walk back into the team either. Needs a rocket up the arse so he'll sort out his discipline and play consistently well.

Odd that Rafa trusts Mbemba over Manquillo on the left.

Spoil sport.

Demo now available for FIFA 18, going to take a while to download (8GB). Looking forward to playing it. I'm downloading it while playing PES 2018. I'd advise people to at least give the demo of PES a go. It's the best version of football sim I've ever played and just pipped FIFA last season to the purists choice. Option file on PS4 takes care of the lack of licenses. Still, FIFA demo could still see it crowned champion this year.

That was my first thought too.

Is Sissoko the other luxury player in that statement? Luxury as in drinking sparkling piss in a jacuzzi you've just shat in? I don't think it's fair to call Perez a luxury player that season.

Good to know; cheers. I'm guessing they don't have rights to show the full thing after the fact? I'll hang on another day or two and see if they upload it.

Where have you two watched the full game (between you )? I can only find extended highlights on the official site.

Was half expecting to see a post about him dying of sepsis when this was bumped. Thank Christ.

You're not trying hard enough.

Worth saying that Diamé was decent when he came on in his (obviously) preferred position. Given the grief he usually gets from people (myself included). Also fair play to Mawson for taking that Ritchie tackle like an actual footballer and not some mincing fucking ballerina. And fair play to him for that miss, too.
