“Time to move on!” says Linekles. This chat about FM 2016 is irrelevant and nobody cares about it! And then he goes and presents us with some news on the whereabouts of Baba Rahman.

Reviving dead threads is not nice but posting irrelevant content in a living thread is even worse.

Well why do you post in the FM 23 thread and not the FM 16 thread? : /

I decided not to buy him on FM 21

Same old crybaby poms. This “spirit of the game” thing only gets invoked when an English batsman gets put out and wants to stay in.

Tbf I’d put him in the team ahead of Conor Gallagher

I mean I know wrestling fans have a real thing for nostalgia but it shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise that a game advertising itself as being inspired by another game from the 20th century (which wasn’t even that good - soz) should end up being a bit underwhelming in the year 2023.

Get the Farke out

Based on current form, if I were Red Bull I’d seriously look into bringing back Albon. He seems a significantly better driver than he was in 2020 and a bit more confident as well. Also I like him.

I don’t really get the Liverpool are such little paupers line here. The year Liverpool won the champions league they got Alisson, Fabinho and Naby Keita for a combined £180 mil and spend 80 odd million on Van Dijk the previous January window. It wasn’t just a team built from a bunch of dweebs picked up for nothing.

My parents have a photo of me with Craig Brown when I was 7. Two footballing icons.

Forgot photoshop. He should post this:

Stockpiling attacking midfielders. They’re still Arsene’s club!

We’re aiming to win the whole tournament now.

I will miss his famous catchphrase as the action begins: AND IT’S LIGHTS OUT, AND AWAY WE GO

Her first three albums are right up there among my favourites of the 2010s so I was a bit disappointed that this one was merely “good”. I’ll give it another go.

Let’s keep tabs on Nkunku’s scoring for Leipzig in the 204/25 Bundesliga then

I guess he’s been banging the goals in by Chelsea’s standards but nine in the league isn’t really anything spectacular.

Linkolor please keep last season’s premier league thread open because I haven’t finished reflecting on it yet

Why’s he wearing the completely unique special edition Italy shirt?

This is quite fitting because Italy didn’t qualify for World Cups in the 19th century either.

Does he actually like football or is he only interested in business to business sales?

I hate kids ALSO “When we look at the history books nobody ever mentions the losers” That’ right cause nobody ever thinks about the 1990 England team or the 1982 Brazil team and we just can’t stop talking about the 1990 Argentina team and the 1982 Italy team.

To be fair, being the first ever English team to win the treble of FA Cup, Champions League and Premier League is still pretty impressive. No one will forget any team that achieves something like that.

McManaman already has his own Champions League medals, he doesn’t need to bother with this vicarious celebration nonsense!
