Howay

I thought it would until I saw each team is capped at 4 non Chinese players which obviously restricts the reach they have. I think most of the top clubs will just take the money and go and buy another player that is at a high level rather than giving youngsters a chance, so I don't think it'll change much in that respect either.

Sammy back from his loan, I was surprised when we loaned him out tbh as I thought he could do a job for us in this league.

I know it was at right back but his performance against Sheffield Wednesday was pretty destructive so he's got it in his locker, I can't recall him having one as bad in CM but I try and block his CM performances out as he's fucking dross. I think Diame was about the only hope of improving Colback, short of buying, but he's away so I think he's just went with the useless bastard that has been playing the position somewhat regularly rather than the useless bastard that hasn't played there in a season.

Agree with that, Anita is a fucking nightmare in CM. I was hoping we'd have someone in but it seems we've tried and been priced out/had our loan bids rejected, hopefully Colback can just put in an average performance rather than another hellish one like last time.

Aye I'm glad he's put Yedlin in

Spot on, I'd not be shocked at all to see him start his tight fisted shite again if Rafa gets us up, survives a season and then watch as Rafa walks out the door over him not allowing spending, he'll then replace him with some prick we'd all long forgotten about for cheap. He could possibly have changed and he could possibly back Rafa to the hilt, but as HF points out with the disinterest in improving training facilities, the smart money is on him being unchanged and he's simply on a ceasefire as HMHM says (similar to how he was last time we were down). I'll never like him tbh. Even if he did back Rafa and let him do his job he'd simply be finally allowing a football man, one that chose to come to the club rather than any sort of inspired decision by him or the fucking imbecile he has running the club, to do his job, which is basically the minimum you should expect from an owner anyway (not on about him dipping into his pocket to back him, just letting the club spend what it makes). The way he fucked over a club legend and then changed the name of the stadium is unforgivable.

That makes sense, shame no one gives a fuck this season

Think he means on telly like. No Trooper I don't think it's on tv, so it'll be another match listening to the radio. Worst part of this season is we're barely on, I'm sure last time we were on fairly regular but I could be remembering wrong.

Was going to say the cheeky fucker! He himself posted that thing about violent crimes white on white, black on white etc that was known to be utter bullshit less than a year ago, then he asked "am I supposed to check to see if these things are true?"

Aye they get openly hostile pretty quickly.

Aye it's canny, nowt special but it's entertaining.

QPR beat Reading 1-0 so we keep our cushion.

He'll probably get a loyalty bonus as well as I don't think he has formally requested a transfer.

Hasn't Payet been a good player in the French leagues for years in all? Played for Lille and Marseilles before West Ham. I think it's probably a somewhat similar situation to Cabaye at us, he had a stand out season got interest but didn't get the big move he wanted so he's got unsettled.

I'll have to check that out, cheers Tooj!

I think it might actually be sadder that he is lying about having a dream like that than it would be if he actually did have a dream about NUFC.

Aye it does seem odd, normally they'd stagger things like that. Looking forward to next weeks episode, they done a great job of setting the characters up as interesting so hopefully the writing is up to it.

Big steps taken by the senate to repeal Obamacare, the pre-existing condition and adults staying on their parents coverage until 26 were gotten rid of last night. A bloke celebrating these repeals of 'Obamacare' has got attention because he claimed it wont bother him as he is covered under ACA, the thick twat didn't know that is Obamacare no doubt idiots like him voted for Donald.

That does sound grim tbh, at least you are going into the decision with full knowledge of this mind.

Wish we could get that sort of money for Colback in real life! Although with the fees some of these Championship sides are demanding for their fodder... I can't say I know much about the coaching side of the game as I generally try to fob that off on my assistant manager, I've never really bothered with it other than trying to sign as many highly rated coaches as I can.

I think he's slightly more popular but it's mainly because he's a draw for a younger audience which networks always like, I still think it's only around 1m people per episode and is less than that Seth Myers bloke who is in the same slot on a different channel. I wouldn't say he's massive really, he gets good guests but I think that's because the networks push hard for these late night talk shows rather than him doing much. A lot of the interest in him came from those carpool karaoke things, he done a few with Justin Bieber which is obviously going to garner youtube views but I think that schtick has ran its course. He is a twat mind, so I always expect bellends like him to do well. The talk show hosts are interesting mind I'm always shocked people love Jimmy Fallon so much, the bloke can't get through any sort of skit without completely ruining it by laughing so much, he interviewed Bradley Cooper a year or so ago where they wore these stupid hats and Fallon was laughing for about 5 minutes straight the bloke literally couldn't do the interview and it got to the point the audience were clearly nervously laughing thinking when the fuck is he going to pack in laughing. Conan O'Brien is the best one out there imo but it starts so late through the week I never watch. The move sounds good mind Gloom, I think the homeless are a problem in general in California which is somewhat understandable as if I was homeless I'd prefer it to be somewhere that's warm pretty much year round. I understand your wife being a bit nervous of them but in general they don't seem to do much, the ones in New York Penn station are often yelling in the toilet cubicles, booting doors, etc but they don't seem to attack anyone or anything like that, can still be distressing to see mind.

Yeah it does.

Aye the one flaw in previous games I noticed is your fan amount seemed to be capped at a point, I got Gateshead into the Prem once and was still struggling to sell out the International stadium. The board were stingy as hell with money as well iirc. Yeah getting through the lower league seasons takes forever with the amount of games.

I have now. The fans boot off anytime I spend on a 5 star rated regen so I shudder to think of the reaction for signing some proper rubbish. Maybe if I get bored with this save I might do something like that, I think I only have down to league two loaded but I suppose I could add down to the conference or something to include them. Have you ever tried games that low? It's pretty good for a while actually and once you make it to League one the top sides are releasing youth players that can walk into your team and have potential to be lower Prem players.

To be fair if the regens in the game didn't turn into world beaters after 1-2 seasons out on loan I wouldn't have been able to go so long making a profit on transfers every season. I think a lot of the top computer sides eventually run into the same thing, I had a game on fm15 with Southampton that I got into 2027 and then moved to Barcelona who had a transfer budget of 1.2bn I also made a massive profit on Dolberg this season, sold him for 39m after loaning him out each season after I bought him.
