That was a good save by Cech, should have been 3.

How immense is Pepe. Should be a wake up call that we can't be sitting back like this for the rest of the game.

Yes although everyone is sitting very deep now.

We need to get the ball further forward, we are back to sitting deep again. Another goal for us more or less kills it off.

Hope we keep it the same second half and don't sit back.

Fucking hell Nando, you sexy bastard. Was just thinking we could do with another before half time with Chelsea getting back into it a little. Fuck you Andy Gray and all the other fuckers who have been slagging him off, give him the chances and he'll bury them eventually.

Did I just hear right? Commentary is saying that Konchesky has spread the message to Gerrard and the rest about how to play?????? I wish Gray and that other fucker, would fuck right off. Torres scuffed? Gray you wanker.

Result. Monthly shop now postponed till Tuesday then.

On pre-order with Amazon but would cancel pre-order on that basis. Can't find anything on the net to confirm that price though.

I do the vast majority of my shopping at Sainsburys so it looks a sensible possibility for me, seems to good to be true to me though.

£9.95???? Is that a mistype?

I had a go but was struggling so went to hardcore again. Got a thing for last man standing on S&D and had an MVP for Hardore TDM which is first time I've had a MVP. I'm going to get something to eat then get back on in half an hour or so.

Had an e-mail this afternoon from Amazon as I have it on Pre-order with them saying that it is down for the 17th of December

I'll be on soon, haven't played since for about a fortnight so sure I will be shit again. Never done s&d so you'll have to tell me what is meant to go on.

Gerrard The Greek Spearing

I got £25mill after setting a goal of Continental Qualification, I think I could have had £32 if I had set Title Challenge.

Pidge, Griffiths is looking good again. Only got England loaded with limited DB for my first run at it so no Verratti or Mats Rits etc. which is a bit frustrating. I couldn't get anyone to take Itandje so he is rotting in the reserves at the moment, Babel is generally quite good game wise, works well on the left with an instruction to cut inside.

I'm going to play though till end of September then try and get some stuff done that I really need to get sorted. Give me a nudge when your going onto MW2 later as I'll be back home this afternoon once I've got my shit sorted.

I've long maintained that for a while they should leave out bringing in much in the way of new features and concentrate on making what it in there now nigh on perfect and also trying to make the game process faster/better. Then once that is all sorted move on to bringing in new features once what they have now is sorted.

I've not been hit with it as Liverpool yet (though I've not played any group games yet) but the fixture bug has always been an mega issue at in the lesser league. On my last journeyman on 2010 I had at least 5 or 6 games a season when I would be short of players in China and then 8 or 9 a season in Mexico. Can't believe that can still be in as a bug.

I've not played a huge amount as yet. Not found anything to piss me off yet, although some of the agents are offering me total crap for the most part. Nice to actually have a transfer budget on the game again. Currently second in the league although only after 3 games, Fulham are top so it just goes to show getting rid of Hodgson pretty much guarantees improvement. So far sold Amoo, Brouwer, Palsson, Bruna, Maxi, Dirk and Irwin. Only managed to loan out Brad Jones and Fabio for fees plus agreed future deal, did my best to offload Poulsen but no one wants him (to be fair in game terms he isn't that bad). Spent a small fortune all on monthly instalments to drag out the starting budget of £25mill. Signed Mata and Affelay for the wings, Fabio Coentrao for LB and LW, Romelu Lukaku and Gonzalo Barreto (ST), Rasoslav Petrovic (DM C) and Zeli Ismail (RW) on long term cash deals plus Dzmitriy Verkhovtsev for £675k (was excellent on 2010 and looks the same now, good ball playing centre back and can play DM, is very good for long term especially at that price) also signed Rivaldo and Gai Assulin on frees just to pad the side out and because I think Rivaldo is mega in general. Missed out on Finnan as he went to Hibs and managed to resist the urge to buy Rigobert Song on a free. Really like the Match Preperation thing of being able to train for formations your not starting with, I have a habit of using a 4-4-2 variation and switching it with 4-5-1 (Barcelona type of shape) and a 5-3-2 and I like that I can have them training for all 3 formations.

Just downloading the patch so I am free of C&A and about to unleash the new regime.

About to start installing now. Hopefully I won't be on here moaning about it in half an hour. Havent played the demo so this is my first taste.

I'll probably be up for it depending on how the new one runs on my laptop, really need to pull my finger out and get a new desktop built so I can run more leagues for my journeyman games.

Being from up North I go to quite a lot of Blyth Spartans games. This doesn't bode well for non league football up here, there has already been a lifting of player fees to an unreasonable level up here, first by Newcastle Blue Star(allegedly paying Jamie McClen £1200 a week for two levels below BS North) who then went bust, Durham City who did the same then went bust, Gateshead are doing the same (chairman wants to build a 9000 capacity stadium and they average about 300 at home). Non league is being ruined by money men just like the top flight. There are players in Northern League getting more part time than pros at League 2 level. Blyth can't get some players to move up to BS North as they get more money at Northern league level.
