Because David Healy is a legend, 'nuff said. I just cannot be arsed to change it, nor would I want too.

No Damien Duff or Celestine Babayaro. Charles N'Zogbia and Titus Bramble come in. Not Bramble. Discuss match here. C'MON YOU TOON!

I doubt you give a shit about the Carnegie Intermediate league cup so I will bother you when the league season starts on October 7th. We are out of the Carnegie League Cup after drawing, wasn't good enough in our group. Oh well we fucked it up, no one else to blame. We have an important fourth round Steel cup tie on Saturday at home to East Belfast, can't wait (Oooo meeting before hand )

After 116 Coups, I have given up on level eight.

Nope, couldn't get past level seven! EDIT: I just beat it, onto level eight

I'm happy with the draw. Could 'o been worse like!

Way to go Tractor people!

Seether? - Fuck it!

Darijo Srna - Legend! Can play right back/wing back/midfield as well. Recently signed him for £6.25 million pound from Shakhtar (hasn't started yet but will soon)

Thank you to those of you who have been patient and not hassled about the demo and release date over the last few weeks. We now have some firm news so..... We are on track for going into manufacture during the coming week, hopefully sending code off for disc testing on Monday, which would lead to going into manufacture late on Friday night. If this all goes to plan, then the demo will be released next weekend on Saturday night/Sunday morning UK time at midnight, and, again, if this all goes to plan, the game will be released in the UK and in as many other territories as possible on October 20th. I will provide a full list of release dates in each territory in a couple of weeks when we know how the manufacturing process is going. I have just confirmed the same information with our partner for the demo, the News of the World (for those who don't know the paper, it's the biggest selling Sunday tabloid paper), and it will appear in the newspaper along with a first look of the final packshot in the paper that comes out tomorrow (Sunday). The packshot will hopefully be available on Sigames.com on Monday - I am still awaiting the final file myself! The demo will be available in 2 versions. The vanilla version will include the English and Scottish quickstarts, and English language only, with limited assets (logo's and player pictures etc). This will be available from the News Of The World's website in conjunction with Play.com, to try and maximise the bandwidth available. The link to this will, of course, be on sigames.com when it's released at midnight. The strawberry version will include extra quickstarts, and extra languages (to be confirmed), with more assets. This will be available initially as a torrent only, also at midnight, from www.sigames.com. For those that don't know about torrent technology, we will release a guide towards the end of the week, with some suggestions of free torrent downloading software to download. The reason for taking the route we have this year is simple - it's very frustrating for people to struggle when downloading a demo, and our bandwidth just cannot handle all of the traffic that happens when the FM demo becomes available, which leads to frustration of people not even being able to get on the website because the server dies. This way we are hoping that the website stays up, and everyone can get the demo in a timely fashion. It also means that people can set the download up when they go to bed on Saturday night, and should be ready to play on Sunday when they wake up. We fully expect mirrors to be available on Sunday too, but we will mainly be reliant on websites who have staff working at weekends for this to happen, with the exception of sites like rapidshare who we will upload to on Sunday morning when we should have time (as Saturday is going to be rather busy getting the files made, verified, tested, torrented etc). I will keep everyone updated this week via http://community.sigames.com/eve/forums?a=...2752#3502042752 in case anything changes during the week, but this is the current plan

It's a race between Shay Given and Scott Parker. I think Shay will edge for me as he's been here longer and has saved us so many times it is not funny anymore.

Click on New Topic When you do that, you will see a title and description but under them two you'll see Click here to manage this topic's poll, click that. When you click on that, you'll see Poll options and a poll title just do all that, fill in the question and answers and you are away. Pretty easy, no?

Oasis - Fuckin' in the bushes!

I already do. But it's not Blyth Spartans.

Cheers for this mate. Puts to desktop

Shay Given said it was worse than a Sunday league team. We need to sell Bramble and possibly Moore and get two commanding defenders who'll fit in quickly. None of that foriegn crap though (we would need ones with Prem expierence) John Terry will do.

You are not the only one. Fuck, I really hope Shepherd and Roeder have defenders up their sleeves if we survive to get to the January window. We should sign one or two including a quality left back, which won't happen.

Don't let the guys stats fool you... He's been all right for me thus far and will only get better, I hope.

Agreed.

Good that he's left the club. I'll probably be the only person who wishes him well at West Ham because since it's his club he'll play regular. Him and Reo-Coker in the centre. Good also that it's got £50k (or something like that) off our wage bill

LONDON (8th June, 2006) – SEGA Europe Limited. is today proud to announce the next step in Sports Interactive's genre-defining Football Manager™ series. Packed full with more than 100 new features, Football Manager™ 2007 is set for release on PC, Mac and Intel Mac, as well as the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Football Manager Handheld on Sony’s PlayStation Portable handheld entertainment system (PSP) completes the format line-up, with all platforms set for a Christmas 2006 release. The Football Managerä team has taken the fans comments on board and have introduced a host of new features across all formats. Feedback specifically on the Xbox 360ä version resulted in the Sports Interactive team compiling a new user interface to allow players to have a joypad friendly experience whilst still retaining all the depth of the game. Football Manager Handheld also sees an upgrade with more playable leagues, more features and, for the very first time, network play allowing you to compete against your friends on your PSP. “We are constantly striving for perfection and are on track to deliver our most authentic football experience yet”, commented Miles Jacobson, Studio Director of Sports Interactive. “There will be a new, easy to use default skin, as well as improved hints and tips throughout the game. More in-depth feedback from your assistant manager and coaches, plus interaction with any player worldwide makes this an un-missable and very user friendly experience, and our best football game by a country mile.” With all-new features, improved gameplay and a depth only seen from Sports Interactive, Football Manager™ 2007 and Football Manager Handheld offers a management simulation that is second to none. To whet the appetite of every Football fan, SEGA and Sports Interactive have unveiled just some of the new features available with more features for all platforms to be announced in the coming months. Features for Football Manager™ 2007 PC/Mac/Intel Mac/Xbox 360™: Feeder Clubs - Brand new to Football Managerä 2007, and one of the most requested features on Sports Interactive’s forums has been the addition of feeder clubs to the game. This new addition works in all the ways you would expect it to in real life. You can establish your club as the small team who receives loan players from a larger club or a large club looking for support getting your youngsters match experience by loaning them out. Have the first option on players from clubs, and schedule pre-arranged friendlies each season by simply asking your board for a feeder relationship and choose from the list they compile. Youth Revamp - A complete revamp of youth teams sees full youth squads for each team that has a youth set-up, thus giving a much better system for the regeneration of players in the long term game. User Friendly – Football Managerä 2007 gives players a new easier to use default skin, along with hints and tips throughout the game, and an improved tutorial. In addition to better feedback from your assistant manager and scouts as well as lots more media, customisation and multiple row selection, all this adds up to the most user friendly Sports Interactive game ever. Scouting Revamp - A complete revamp of the scouting system inside the game leads to more information about players and teams being made available to managers, as well as a more realistic methodology for player scouting. This system allows scouts to grow and improve their knowledge-base of the world’s football players. Player Interaction - You can now talk to any player in the world via the media. Player interaction allows you to tap up other teams stars or see if players will buckle under the pressure. An effective manager must use the media as a motivational tool - why not praise your own players in many different ways or shout at them for loss of form? Team Talks - For more varied ways to talk to your team, SI have worked hard to deliver vastly improved team talks at half and full time. Not only this, but pre-match team talks will now be making their first appearance in Football Manager - so you can send your team out onto the pitch with a specific briefing. Football Manager™ 2007 for PC, Mac, Intel Mac and Xbox 360ä are set for release Christmas 2006. Football Manager™ Handheld for PSP will also make the Christmas 2006 launch. For further information go to www.sigames.com or the completely re-vamped www.footballmanager.net website.
