  1. Gaming Football Manager 2024

    It's going to be a mad end to the season. Could get champions League, could end up 7th. United favourites for the title but if Spurs and City win their games in hand they're only 3 points off the top. We've got Arsenal (H), City (H) and Liverpool (A) in our last 6. Still going in the...
  2. Cole Palmer | Chelsea Player

    Yes, Chelsea have had an insane number of penalties compared to how much attacking they actually they do. Would think it's fortunate rather than attacking in a special way that gets them more than penalties. Mind you, nothing to say they can't get attack more in the future, be less efficient at...
  3. Gaming Football Manager 2024

    Just signed our first wonderkid. An 18 year-old Mexican striker in the January window for 4.5m, activating his release clause. Perfect timing, I was persisting with a striker who we signed over the summer that just wasn't cutting it. 3 goals in 14 Premier League starts and 1 in 7 Europa...
  4. Fantasy Premier League 23/24

    Saved my arse there, cheers! Still managed a red arrow by 3 despite that. :lol: 72 points in the end. Could have been a truly bad week.
  5. Fantasy Premier League 23/24

    Just looked at my cup match for the first time, hadn't dared before now due to having a disaster of a week. Need another Palmer goal and Gusto to score 0 (yellow card subbed off before 60) to draw. Not sure who is ahead on tie breakers. 2 more for Palmer and an Everton goal to win it. :lol...
  6. Fantasy Premier League 23/24

    One isn't enough. Need Palmer to score about nine. :lol: Most people have him anyway, but that's the only way I can make a difference with him as captain.
  7. Who are the smallest "big club"?

    Seems obvious. US sport has salary caps, there's only so much you can spend and the teams are relatively close in how much they do spend. Having a larger fan base, stadium or flogging more merchandise doesn't equate to being able to spend past the limit of the cap. All it does is make extra...
  8. Fantasy Premier League 23/24

    I envy you. 20 with Palmer (c) left. Double Arsenal defence plus Saka. Triple Liverpool midfielders/attackers all blanked. Neto in goal conceded 2 and got booked. Akanji conceded 1 late on. Toney and Foden didn't get on the pitch, brought Van Hecke into play, also conceded 1. Only Solanke...
  9. Arse FAM TV

    Not like it used to be is it? Only Robbie and Ty left from when it was good. I liked Claude, could see how much football meant to him and it would really get to him when Arsenal weren't doing well. He seemed real. I didn't know he suffered with depression until after the fact, but it sort of...
  10. Gaming Football Manager 2024

    England manager now in conjuction with the club stuff and I already can't be arsed. There was the option to use a recommended squad but I wanted to do it myself. Took ages. Gave call ups to uncapped James Garner (33) and Jarrad Branthwaite (32). Quite a few other farmiliar names still around...
  11. Mo Salah

    Is it premature to say it or is he starting to show signs of decline? Just thinking, with a new manager in the summer and if Salah is really dropping off it could be tempting to cash in should the Saudis come in for him again with a similar offer to last year. A clean break to kick off a new...
  12. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney | Wrexham AFC Watch

    Sorry if I wasn't being clear. I was saying Wrexham is a mining town whose team has fallen on hard times. Salford are the team that have never done anything, also from a working class area. Wrexham have that bit of history that Salford don't. People like a story of rejuvination that we...
  13. Fantasy Premier League 23/24

    Having Salah, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez is going great so far. :lol: At least I didn't captain any of the useless feckers.
  14. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney | Wrexham AFC Watch

    Maybe he could have tried to get on the documentary bandwagon before Wrexham did, then reap the bigger sponsorships when Salford were riding the wave of publicity. That he didn't might hurt, and it's too late now as it's already been done. It literally wouldn't have been as Hollywood though...
  15. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney | Wrexham AFC Watch

    I can't say I'm into show business/celebrity at all, I'm the least versed person you could find when it comes to TV/films and I don't think I've seen anything with these two in it. Not watched the documentary either, but know who they are just by being interested in football. Don't really see...
