    97 had Ginola so therefore is obviously the best one. Wasn't 98 weird, in that they released a Road to World Cup, and a World Cup version? I don't think there was a FIFA 98 as such was there? 

    It was Ginola! My nostalgia memory just remembered the Newcastle kit on the cover and assumed it was Shearer. 97 it is.

    Thats as maybe but I am certain it is a drug ban.

    Joking aside, I have the exact same suspicion about Clyne. It's so weird that the club haven't even really acknowledged his injury despite him being out for at least half a season. We still don't even know what's "wrong" with him.

    He's not exactly keeping pace with the teams at the top this season though, is he?

    You can throw any stat out you like about our poor record, not just Mourinho's, against the top sides in recent seasons. Yours is shite against teams lower down and it's cost you.

    If we beat Huddersfield on Saturday (can't say I'm going into that one particularly confident mind), with Spurs and Liverpool meeting on Sunday, last week's result becomes a good one straight away.

    If by teams at the top you mean the Manchester clubs, then no, nobody else is either. We're on the same number of points as Chelsea and Arsenal though despite already playing three of the top 6 and having a "bad start." Which, sure, could've been better, but we're still playing well even if the points aren't coming, and we're actually two points better off from the corresponding fixtures last season. All of which has come without our first choice CM and RB - plus missing our best player more often than he's been available.

    Either way, we're 8 games in. Nothing is written in the stars yet. Same story last season and countless seasons previously. Spurs weren't even in the top 4 half the season and ended up finishing 2nd. City started even better than they have this season and scraped 3rd. City beat you to the title despite it being a foregone conclusion etc. My point about Mourinho was that his way of playing against the top sides won't work anymore. Not when teams like City will go for the jugular no matter who they're playing. I really don't think the point at Anfield will be seen as a good point at the end of the season - you'll be asking yourselves "what if?"

    Things like that are silly anyway. It's like Klopp now - isn't his record similar or worse than what Rodgers had?

    Yes, he has a record *slightly* worse than Rodgers' first two seasons, which means he's keeping pace with a team that nearly won the league. I really don't know why people keep using that as an insult.

    I like the changes to Pro Clubs this year tbh, so I can sort of see where its changed vs last years. Negotiations in career can fucking do one though.

    I don't mind them so much because I can just delegate and pretend I have a director of football, but that you have to sit through contract renewals is so fucking painful.

  6. I was actually thinking of getting this but certain positions they've taken for no other reason than to milk a few more quid out of everyone means I can't support it in good conscience. Even if they won't miss my money, things like taking the Hardyz out of the game for the sake of making people pay for them is top tier bullshit.
