I signed Stelios of Bolton for 2.8m just to see out the 1st season, managed to win the league so bought Simao for 10m and have just sold Stelios to Man City for 3m even tho he is 30 odd, soft twats! I tend to play Gerrard or Garcia on the right if Simao is fucked.

Get ready to run around with your footy shirt over your head in celebration as Codemasters today announces the revival of the legendary football game Sensible Soccer for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC. The all-new Sensible Soccer will launch Q2 2006 and come complete with lightning fast football action, mesmerising dribbling, physics defying sliding tackles and, most famously, a huge amount of unbelievable goals, that can go curling into the top corner, thanks to the outrageous levels of after-touch. Renowned as the greatest multiplayer kick-about ever, Sensible Soccer will return with a modern take on its trademark zoomed out camera and truly intuitive control system, which delivers total 360-degree control over your players’ kicks and movement. Visually, the game will have a distinctive new graphical style, which includes cel-shaded players with the classic enlarged heads, designed to appeal both to fans of the series and appeal to a new generation of gamers. The trademark top-down view allows you to see the build up play better than you can in any current football game. This gives the player a huge degree of tactical awareness and control that has never been bettered. And it’s not just Sensible Soccer’s playability-oozing action that’s back: Jon Hare, designer and producer of the original Sensible Soccer, has been working with Codemasters’ gameplay gurus, David and Richard Darling, on a collaborative game design. Kuju Entertainment, publishers of Tower Studios’ Sensible Soccer for mobile phones, is managing development. “Following the success of Sensible Soccer’s recent mobile edition and the fantastic retro Plug ‘n’ Play TV version of the game, it’s great to bring a truly new version out for the first time in over eight years on all of the major formats” says Jon Hare, now a director of Tower Studios and games design consultant, “We are doing everything in our power to modernise and recreate the sheer playability, fun and footballing depth of the original and remind the playing public just what they have been missing out in the current market of slow, drab sims.” Sensible Soccer will come loaded with masses of teams and players, multiplayer games for up to four players, and 50 preset competitions from all over the world. In addition to the pre-set tournaments, Sensible Soccer will feature a DIY Competition mode, which enables you to play cups, leagues and tournaments with your own competition rules. You’ll also be able to create your own Dream Team in the game’s Custom Career Mode and play them in any of the competitions. As you clock up the wins for your squad, you’ll be rewarded with over 100 unlocks and upgrades, both useful and comedic, to customise your players with including Five Star Skill Bonuses for players and Dinner Jacket football kits! With further special content that will celebrate the series’ 15-year anniversary yet to be revealed, Codemasters will publish Sensible Soccer for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC in Q2 2006. Codemasters Mobile will simultaneously release a Sensible Soccer spin-off game for mobile phones.

IT'S BACK!!!!! http://www.codemasters.co.uk/games/?gameid=1846

Whilst walking back to Putney Fucking Shithole Bridge train station after Saturdays game I thought the first thing I would do when I got back home was to see how Liverpool v Fulham would pan out on Football Manager 2006. After a few hours the game came up on the fixtures so I played the same starting 11 and did the same subs that Rafa did and played the same formation, all that shit, only difference was I won 4-0 with Nando getting 3, I wish we all lived in a Champ Manager world.

Oh yes!

FIFA is shite against Pro Evo, come to think of it no football game I have ever played (apart from Sensible world of soccer) comes close to the greatness of Pro Evo. FIFA is just wank, end of! Go buy Pro Evo boy!!!

A mate of mine is a manger of a local WH Smiths and he took a copy of Pro Evo 5 home with him last night and he say's it's fecking smooth and Jari's hair is excellent, although Baros is still in the Liverpool squad!

How much does Pro shit all over FIFA, always has and always will!

Excellent idea Dave, although finding time to play the thing is going to be hard, may get dumped by the bird before Xmas due to it. Pro Evo 5 comes out the same day too so double reason's to be dumped. Let's hope play.com deliver it tomorrow so I can get a few hours in before I leave for Fulham. As for being a Nerd thread, you've obviously never sampled the delights of Champ or Football manager and I seriously recommend you go buy the thing, if your married then expect the divorce papers within 3 months.

I was watching "The Match" on sky one a few weekends back and she was interviewing Seaman and Souness at half time and she looks as if she's preggers, so someone has beaten us all to it, bet it's Igors.

Good point made. In the league this season he started the 1st game but the next 2 or 3 he was subbed after 50mins, he hasn't played the last 3 leagues games as he's been keeping the bench warm. He has been playing in centre midfield for all these games but last night he played centre back and shat over everone. So want Pana to get through the groups and meet us just so we can give him a shout as I too miss the EEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOORRRRRR chant!

I've just been reading through this thread and halfway through my Sky Sports Breaking News Pop Up opened up to tell me: Manc U have refused to comment on Christiano Ronaldo's arrest Ha ha fucking love it!

He had a fecking blinder last night against Barca. He played at Centre Back and kicked lumps of shit out of the bottle opener face Brazilian twat and managed no once but twice to divert Eto's goal bound shots off target. He even got man of the match! Think Rafa should resign him in Jan (I await the abuse) Respect the Croatian Lord Love Rocket

Just ordered mine online and I'm a tad amazed also as it took no more than 3mins to complete, what a difference a Belgium team makes. Although as it's not a massive game as some people would say I've decided to ditch my usual seat in the Kop for a trip up the top of the Centenary stand as I've never been up there before, but at least I'm still going!

Don't know if this has been posted before but if it has then ahh well. This is a phone call by Gary Neville to a school kid who got his mobile number, funny as fuck as he's a total thick twat! http://www.holmesdale.net/board_files/633782%60%60NEVILLE.mp3

A few points about this squad picture: 1) Does Rafa’s shape of head look weird to you? 2) The picture needs Igor 3) How good does the European Cup look at the front, a million times better than the Pirelli cup 4) How cr*p and small is the Super Cup 5) Peter Crouch is FAR FAR too tall and skinny, he looks like the alien at the end of the film Close Encounters 6) Garcia is clearly wearing a wig 7) How does Kewell get on the picture never mind the front bloody row??? 8) Ciisse looks like he has just sat on a whoopee cushion 9) Carson has a Gary Neville tash on the go 10) Mr Moore still looks like a reject from Bread! 11) The boy Mellor is quite clearly trying to force one out 12) Gerrard is a miserable b*stard 13) Riise looks like an evil extra from Gremlins 14) Reina looks about 40 15) Sissoko is just Collina but a tad darker!

When a football survey result is announced a lot of us ask "who votes for these" and "I've never been asked to fill out a football survey ever", well now you can. Click the link below and fill your boots, it takes around 15 mins to complete and as it's Friday It's something to do to make the day go quicker! http://www.premierleague.com/fan_survey.html

.... so sly sports say!

Ha ha!!

FIX FIX FIX................................

I'm hoping we have Panathinaikos in the group as it means the croation love rocket IGOR will return!! Ajax would also be good, give me a chance to wear my Jari shirt at the game. I'd got with: Liverpool Panathinaikos/Ajax Anderlecht Thun

Which one, last seasons ugly looking thing, the lumo yellow from 97 that attracted wasps and bee's if you stood still for too long or that neto bag looking one from 92-93ish? Yellow is just wrong, the only good yellow one we have had was the old Crown Paints number, now that was nice!
