I offered him a new contract and hey presto he's playing. (Some reason i signed him to only a 1 year deal) Well heres an update of what's happened since last time. I've started to get a good run of results going after beating Chelsea 3-2 Spurs 1-1 Away Middlesbrough 4-4 Away Sunderland 5-1 (FA Cup 6th Round) Home Derby 4-0 Home West Ham 4-0 Away Everton 2-1 Home Bolton 0-2 Away So from the Chelsea game managed to get a great run of form earning points bringing me right back into Champions League contention apart from the loss to Bolton were i was missing Bouma and De Silvestri due to suspension, and with Chelsea in the FA Cup Semi Final there is a possibility that i could be in the Final Since Aguero made his debut in the Sunderland game in which he scored he also netted 1 against Derby, A Hattrick against West Ham and scored both goals against Everton It also seems that Arshavin and Van Der Vaart are performing really well and my midfield looks pretty darn good in the shape of Barry, Petrov, Van Der Vaart and Arshavin plus with Ashley Young still to come back i've gotten a really good team. Plus with Sivok and possibly Guilherme joining for next season should be looking strong. Here's the table 3rd: Everton 59 Pts 32 Played 4th: Newcastle 56 Pts 31 Played 5th: Me 55 Pts 32 Played 6th: Man.U 52 Pts 30 Played 7th: Spurs 52 Pts 31 Played It's still rather close with 6,7 games left (8 for Man.U damn it!!!) And my fixture list looks like this: Arsenal H Birmingham H Man.Utd A Fulham A Sunderland H Reading A I should beat Birmingham, Fulham, Sunderland and Reading but as obvious on there Man.U game is the biggest game left as a win over them will be a big boost for morale and being points ahead of them. Anyone wanting to predict who finishes in 3rd,4th and 5th lol

You can move clubs at the end of the season. I'm not happy i scored a peach of a goal with Torres before with a great ball to Keane on the wing who crossed it it bounced, Torres went through and smashed it in the top corner. My internet decided not to work and now like 10 minutes after the game it's working not happy with that lol

Most of them were ok/decent the one that i found really funny was the title I met this really kinky girl last night. 'Humiliate me,' she said ... So I bought her a Tottenham shirt and "What would an improved version of Spurs be called? Newcastle United." class The thing with us only having 6 points if games finished after 58minutes the silly thing is though with that is Games would never finish after 58 minutes so bit of a silly statistic lol means we got 22 minutes to score goals and win Rumours of Billic being linked with the Spurs job and lets just be honest who would want the job at this minute in time lol. I'm suprised Ramos is still there i would of hightailed it away by now lol. The problem they have is A) They have no real midfielder to stay back there too many attacking players who seem to be in the team because they big players for them, B) Bent and Pav just can't score and are quite similar. The thing that bugs me about this is the fact that they said after they signed him they are too similar...If you scouted him properly you would of worked that out and maybe not of decided to splash out for him and finally C) They got no leader on the pitch. If Spurs get relegated that would just be the most funniest thing i've seen in football in a long long time and i thought the Newcastle crisis was funny when it first started off

I just want Newcastle and Tottenham to keep on crashing and burning as it is quite funny to see. Nothing beats watching Spurs at the minute especially the comedy fiasco that occurred against Stoke. Two red cards, loosing to Stoke and Gomes knocking Corluka out. Kinda feel sorry for Spurs fans and i feel sorry for me as i think past two years i've said oh i think Spurs can break into the Top 4. Holy cow they've signed Bentley, Modric, Dos Santos etc they've got a good chance at breaking into the top 4 but no. Hull look like they'll be this years newly promoted team that does boss when they come up first season than next few seasons will do jack shit. Ala Wigan, Reading, Ipswich, Sunderland (When they had Phillips, Quinn etc) Also I might buy Drogba's autobiography...not

lol History tends to repeat it's self as seen in my game Oh and what do you know i should criticize Agbonlahor more lol. I'm down to Spurs after 84 minutes when Bent decides to score a goal...5 Minutes added time 93rd minute after bringing Agonlahor on around 75th minute he gets a goal. Now why couldn't he do that in most other games except he can score against Yeovil... Also why don't Arsenal who are top and pretty much been wiping the floor with everyone can only muster up a draw against Newcastle when i look at the fixture and see it as a perfect chance to gain points on them... Bastards Also Liverpool running through Managers even more. Thomas Schaaf has been sacked after well leaving Liverpool in 11th and after learning from last time decided to decline on the subject and my usual method after Spurs feel the goal was controversial my response...Lighten up. Cannot wait for 09 and the Journalists lol try to be Jose Mourinho and Mike Basset morphed into one ultimate manager

I was wondering what people thought of the game who have currently got it. What the good things are and what the bad things are. I'm getting the game for my birthday on Saturday and i had the first one and kinda excited to get this one so was curious as to peoples opinions

Well his mug is bit better than Skrtel and his eastern European thug look even though Skrtel is a god Well i beat Pompey 2-1 in the FA Cup setting up a tie against Sunderland at home. AND I BEAT CHELSEA 3-2 They were on a 22 unbeaten streak going into this their 27th Prem game and a great performance from Barry, Arshavin and Carew getting first half goals to help me get a win that helps ease some pressure on me. With Spurs next it's a great chance to gain points on people i'm battling with for that Champions League or Uefa Cup spot but with those results came Ashley Young getting injured for 2 months so my team looks like this at the moment: GK: Neuer DR: Olof Mellberg DL: Wilfred Bouma DC: Martin Laursen DC: Curtis Davies ML: Gareth Barry MC: Stilliyan Petrov MC: Van Der Vaart (Suspended for Spurs game) MR: Shaun Maloney FC: Andrey Arshavin FC: John Carew Subs: GK: Vincent Enyeama DC: Pascal Cygan MR: Gabriel Torje MR/ML: Wayne Routledge FC: Gabriel Agbonlahor Plan is to move Arshavin to MC, Move Maloney to upfront and play Routledge in Right Mid with Osbourne coming onto the bench. Also question about Aguero. When the season ends the following season will he be able to play? Also why whenever i play Agonlahor he is the biggest piece of crap striker ever? I mean he can never get a goal in the net on my game

Typical... I sell Marlon Harewood, Luke Moore, Steven Taylor- Total of about 8 mil and Reo Coker to Everton for 8.5 mil and i see Aguero is unhappy at Madrid...Cue last last minute deadline transfer put in a 15mil bid due to release clause i sign him and than i cannot play him cause of Work Permit issues. So i got Aguero just sitting around doing nothing and 15 mil gone bye bye until he can play which i don't know will be... Signed Enyeama too for 1 mil as a backup keeper for now and with De Silvestri haven been out for a bit and Curtis Davies left me with no real cover so managed to sign Pascal Cygan who got released start of the game for 6 months as backup. Results since i last posted W Yeovil 2-0 FA Cup 3rd Round L Blackburn 2-1 W Liverpool 3-0 W Wigan 2-0 D Middlesbrough 1-1 FA Cup 4th Round L Newcastle 2-1 D Man.City 0-0 W Middlesbrough 2-0 FA Cup 4th Round Replay So i got Pompey 5th Round of the FA Cup and the table looks like this after 26 games 4th: Newcastle, 46 Pts, Played 26 5th: Man.Utd, 45 Pts, Played 26 6th: West Ham 44 Pts, Played 26 7th: Spurs, 43 Pts, Played 25 8th: Me 41 Pts, Played 25 9th: Blackburn 37 Pts, Played 26 So it's really close battle for that Champions League spot and Uefa Cup + Intertoto Cup spot With a game in hand will put me closer to 4th. Remaining fixtures look like this: Chelsea at Home Spurs Away Middlesbrough Away Derby Home West Ham Away Everton Home Bolton Away Arsenal Home Birmingham Home Man.Utd Home Fulham Away Sunderland Home Reading Away

Well the bad little run of results has ended beat Reading 1-0 dominate performance changed formation to 4-5-1 and played Van Der Vaart and Petrov as Attacking Midfielders and bringing Reo Coker back into the team at DM. Reading got 2 players sent off didn't have a single shot while i had several opportunities Match against Pompey ended a bore 0-0 draw too many missed chances and now dropped down to 7th. 4 pts behind Man.Utd in 4th, 2 behind Newcastle in 5th and 1 behind Spurs who have a game in hand...So not looking great again....Going back to the 4-5-1 formation i used against Man.Utd where i looked so good going to use that against Yeovil and give players i don't normally play games and have Arshavin and Laursen start to gain match fitness Van Der Vaart came 2nd for European Midfielder of the year so that's made me happy that he's been recognized main factor in why we going after Europe

Jesus Christ it's just going from bad to worse now. Lost 2-0 away to Sunderland a loss that means with 1 game till the halfway point the table looks like this: 3rd: Everton 41 pts 4th: Man.Utd 32 pts 5th: Me 30 pts 6th: Newcastle 30 pts 7th: Spurs 29pts (Game in hand) 8th: West Ham 28pts I'm getting dragged into a battle for that Champions League and Uefa Cup spots and i don't know what's going wrong and i can't buy anyone due to lack of money thanks to big spending start of the season. Arshavin should be fit for the next game but i can't be resting my hopes on one player. I'm going to try a new formation see if it works with the schedule looking like this: Reading Home Pompey Home Yeovil (FA Cup) Home Blackburn Away Liverpool Home

I expected them to plead for me to stay... Turns out they hired Thomas Schaaf so leaves me in a sticky situation...Atleast none of the players seem to have lost morale and my job security ain't gone down. Just have to win next few games then they'll forget about it. With Arshavin back hopefully fortunes will turn around

lol the Aston Villa board are rather annoyed with me. Javier Aguierre got sacked by Liverpool due to really crap performances leaving them 12th and i've been linked with the job. I said i'd be extremely interested in taking the job to try and get them from 12th to higher and now they are rather annoyed...

Friggin typical... I had Fulham who i beat easily 2-0 and Mellberg decides to get himself a 5th Yellow Card so haven't got him and Laursen for the Arsenal game... Take the lead after 2 minutes with Van Der Vaart and than Eboue scores 27th minute...Curtis Davies decides to give away a penalty 39th minute and Mutu Converts. Davies than decides to injure Bendtner doing something good right before half time. Petrov is injured so bring on Agbonlahor and move Maloney to Right Mid at half time... Davies scores 48th minute and i'm back in front only for Mutu to score 52nd minute. Now it's pretty even game but Agonlahor decides to miss a few sitters near the end. 5 Minutes added time so what happens my defense decides to have a break and Van Persie scores... Arsenal were unbeaten up to this point and i really needed a win to gain points on Man.U and Spurs. 4th: Man Utd 30 pts with a game in hand 5th: Villa (Me) 30 pts 6th: Spurs 28 Pts with two games in hand 22 Shots; 12 on Target, 48% Possession for Arsenal 21 Shots; 11 on Target, 52% Poessession for me. It's just frustrating me now as i've drawn 3, lost 1 and won 1 last 5 games but luckily Arshavin should be back soon so maybe turn my fortunes around and i really need to invest in maybe another defender in the January transfer window because without Mellberg and Laursen it leaves me with a very young back four (Apart from Bouma) and Davies, Di Silvestri and some young reserve defender

Thought i'd pop it in and reload my Aston Villa game where i was 6th joint points with Man.U who were 5th and Spurs were 1 point behind in 7th we were behind Everton in 4th by some bit. Decided because it's Man.U i'll go 4-5-1 playing a team looking like this: Neuer, De Silvestri, Mellberg, Laursen, Bouma, Young, Petrov, Van Der Vaart, Barry in DM, Maloney and Carew loan striker... Dominate pretty much the whole game finishes 1-1 at Half Time and second half exact same story battering them but end up drawing 2-2 with them only having 4 shots on target against my 11 on target.... So pretty much in a bad run of form now and i've dropped to 7th due to Spurs winning. Drawn 3 games in a row and against pretty easy teams to who i should be beating in Bolton and Birmingham drew 2-2 and 3-3 so need to get my team to get a good result against Fulham going into an away game with Arsenal

Torres Rainbow Flick GOOOOOOOOALLLLLL as the title says The thing i hate with Be a Pro is i get quite bored after a while and start to skip games so i can never like progress after Captain lol with Liverpool got to Captain first season left for Inter and they decided hey lets play him on the wing which kinda sucked but still had a good season than thought lets go some utter crap team and be captain straight away and try to get to Legendary. At Elfsborg in Sweden lol Seems i've made the right choice in getting this over Pro Evo according to my mate who got it and had a few games of it

yeah i remember signing him on FM07 when i was Liverpool manager and he was just great player and yeah read we were supposed to be linked with him. Easy to train to into different positions so could just train him to be CB good player to have imo

Last Last Minute Winner!!!! Painfully agonizing draw in Manager Mode than just great counter attack in the final minute of added time

On FM07 there was this great great player i used to get Jakub B (Can't remember the rest of it) he's Polish very very versatile player could play RB, RWB, MR, AMR and he was a good player too. Try him

Steven Gerrard Freekick VS West Ham Kaka Karate Kick After like 3 rebounds Kaka finishes it off Danielson style I'll edit a few more in later

If he hasn't been signed try Sivok the Czech Republic player. Can play DM and i think he can also play at CB too. If not Miguel Veloso i think it is from Sporting quite a good player.

Got a secret achievement for playing a game off xbox live...Not complaining like lol Started the 64 man team tournament done club tournament i was going to call THe Masters Cup but it would only let me write to The Masters Cu and who wants to be a Cu honestly so The Masters it is. Basically rip off the Champions League with 8 groups lol and top 4 qualify to next round

For some reason Liverpool always do crap on FM i mean in my Villa game that i haven't played for ages there floating around like 14th, 15th In my old Liverpool/Valencia game i did after i won the Prem in my final season they finished like 12th with a really good team but they won the Champions League. Always with Man.U too they don't really challenge but they end up like 3rd or 4th and Fergie will leave after a season or two than Javier Aguierre i can't spell his surname or remember it the Mexican always ended up becoming their manager

I thought that aswell it doesn't sometimes recognize the achievements When first got it went to get the score with a defender so stuck a defender on pen didn't get it, Beat half star team against 5 star team didn't get it. Also got a question about the Volley achievement. I was Torres and i got through the defence, hit a rainbow flick and on the volley hit it in to the net but it didn't recognize. I can't remember if it bounced or not but that'd be a half volley. Can you get the achievement doing a half volley

Signed up to that Fifaleague website now. Be interesting being in a league hopefully pick up a few wins

I was in the same boat with PES and Fifa. I hadn't touched a Fifa game in ages and now i'm really into it it's a good game, good looking as well and i like the 10 vs 10 games. Refs can be a bit silly like and the fact that sometimes it takes the players a year to get up if they ran into someone can be rather annoying but a great game.
