Dawson got the ball first, but I can't say I'm surprised after he gave 5 minutes of injury time =/

If Dawson leaves I think I will cry. He's my favourite Spurs player, and I want him and Gomes to play together for the rest of their careers

We'll have Sandro from Brazil coming in, with 2 of Hutton, Bentley and Pav leaving. We'll most likely also get a back-up keeper and I wouldn't mind Vieira, who we were rumoured to be signing earlier, coming in. We need someone who can come on when we're winning with 15 to go and just sit in front of the defence and run the game out.

Player profile -> training -> new position (has a drop-down list) IIRC.

I voted for the Wenger Facebook one >_>

Artem? He's Ukrainian. Was awesome for me at Spurs in FM09.

Pav is a beast in this. 7 goals from 2 starts and 2 as a sub. All in pre-season yeah, but still >_>

This is an old bug prior to the patch that came out weeks ago Sorry I don't dedicate my life to FIFA. I was up home for a few days and decided to play it for a bit after my brother picked it up last week.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but in manager mode I loaned out most of my youth players and two of them, John Bostock and Adam Smith, seemed to have been sold from the clubs I loaned them to =/ Have they just been sold for the length of the loan or is this a massive bug?

And I went to bed after 40 minutes at 1-0 :@

Who do you think you are, k.d. lang?

Most assists and most tackles by a midfielder, come on lads, can't do it all by myself >_>

I don't see how you can draw any differences between the two. They're both cheating, so I don't see how you can justify one and make it seem somehow more palatable than the other. It was a dive, clearly, although I can see why players dive in those situations - in having to hurdle Carsley's desperate lunge (he was nowhere near the ball, which is worth remembering) N'Gog put himself at a disadvantage, his stride was broken making it extremely difficult to shoot or cut the ball back across goal, especially so close to the line. He seems to touch the ball with the outside of his foot (though it's difficult to tell with that angle). Not really nowhere near it though. No idea how the ref fell for that tbh, you could hardly make a dive anymore obvious.

Spurs have only ever beaten one of the Big 4 away in the Premier League era and that was the first of them against Liverpool in 1993. So it's like 65 away games against the Big 4 without a win =/ Though we should have beaten Man Utd at Old Trafford a few years ago :@

And we did alright last year too. This season has been the exact opposite though.

We've lost our last seven games by just one goal in each :@

Hey, this is the Official 2010 World Cup Qualifying Thread, not the Official 2011 AFC Asian Cup Qualifying Thread :@

Started a game as Australia, been doing quite well so far. Taking control of the first team, under 21s and under 23s (for Olympics) and I've only had one defeat so far (1-0 away to Croatia which is still not bad, considering our under 21s are pretty ordinary to say the least). Drew with Croatia 1-1 and beat South Africa 2-1 with the first team, and my under 23s are into the final at the Olympics, having drawn with Serbia 0-0, Argentina 1-1 (they had two players sent off and I only scored right at the end tbf, but their goal did come from a free kick. Valeri and Jedinak dominated Messi in centre midfield and forced him off with poor condition they bashed him up so much ) and then Ivory Coast 3-1 (they didn't have a proper keeper in the squad tbf, but they did also beat both Serbia and Argentina). I then beat the Dutch 1-0 in the quarters and the Ivory Coast again in the semi, 2-1 in extra time. Have Italy in the final which will be a bit harder, but I have faith Mighty Bruce Djite, a striker with 8 for finishing and 10 for composure, has 5 goals in 5 games so far. Legend

Parramatta were very ordinary in the first half, it was as if they were playing a Round 1 game, not a Grand Final. No intensity at all. As a result Melbourne never got out of second gear until they were challenged for about fifteen minutes in the second half, and that was mainly through Moi Moi leading from the front. Apart from him and Grothe, no one really stuck their hand up for Parra.

play intensity 90 shot frequency 20 zone tendency 60 pass frequency 70 offensive mindedness 45 dribble frequency 35 runs frequency 50 So basically I run around a lot and concentrate on supplying teammates rather than dribbling or shooting. So if Higatov wants to run around less but shoot and dribble more maybe? Up to you, Dan.

Alan Curbishley has 1 for motivating yet was praised for his words at halftime that saw his Chelsea team come back from 1-0 down at home to beat me 2-1

Man Utd in late goal shocker

Yeah, Redknapp's come out and denied it now, saying he loves being at Tottenham. Think the bookies just made themselves a lot of money though (Y)
