You'd almost think that people are obsessed with Poyet and want to beat him with any conceivable stick their minds can dream up.

In an FM12 game I'm playing, Martin O'Neill's last season in management saw him win the Champions League with Bayern Munich, having won the German title the previous year.

It's not the first time I've said it, but I love the revisionism on here and how suddenly Gus is suddenly the worst human being and manager to have ever set foot in Brighton. Foot of League 1 to 2 games from the Premier League in 3.5 seasons. Awful.

Agreed, that's definitely binnable. I'm all in favour of some big screen action, exposing the diver as the cheat that he is.

You could keep the existing yellow/red system for physical offences - basically bad tackles, violence or repeat offending as per normal. But then also have the bin as an option for technical offences such as being mouthy, diving, time-wasting. That way, offences which basically happen within the...

You have a Palace supporting son? What happened?!

Yes - this sounds good. I agree that it can't be a like-for-like replacement for the yellow card, but can be used to cut out instances of players being c***s.

You'd soon stop all the ridiculous haranguing of refs, and diving and feigning injury from players, if it was 15 minutes in the bin for every offence.

He's quality on Football Manager, so that'll do for me. We all know FM is exactly the same as real life in all ways.

Why should private companies have to disclose how much their employees are paid?

You're missing the point. If I am here covering your hypothetical story, yes, I might do that. But not if it was LOCAL news. Then I'd absolutely be all over who he is in the top line. I'm a former journalist and I remember being told "names make news."

A few months ago I was working at a client in Bristol. Annoyingly, the one day I wasn't there and was back in the office in London was the day we were playing Bristol City away (though given what I'm told about that game, maybe a blessing in disguise). Even more upsettingly, the entire team were...

Just as I thought all along - Harley was actually better than Vicente. :jester:

Sacks manager without giving any reason after he leads team to highest league place in 30 years and continually raises prices on pretty much everything. I hate to think what the model is!

So glad to hear that things have turned out better for you. I remember you posting about it all those years ago and it's fantastic you're in a better place now.

This. Immediately piques one's curiosity.

Quite a few. All leagues from England, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Holland and Belgium I think. Computer doesn't run it super-quickly but I don't mind - one of the things I like the most is just looking at the football "universe" developing. Already got...

Thing is, given their form since he took over, they wouldn't have been play-off contenders. Granted, he did exceptionally well in the lottery that were the playoffs, but Palace's form either side of them has been dire.

Used to work in TV subtitling and had a few unfortunate cases where the computer you speak into when subtitling live didn't quite get things right. Two that spring to mind are "amateur astronomers will go anywhere for lovely skies" becoming "lovely guys" and a Syrian government lackey trying to...

I'm very tempted, think it could be a fascinating read.
