Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

[eksdee]

PES11 was a massive improvement on PES10 really, I can't wait for PES12.

A review I read recently got it spot on.. PES plays more like the European game while FIFA is more like the Premiership, a lot more physical..

That being said I'll be playing both again I guess

What? PES11 played like the players were permanently running through treacle. Same with the demo of 12. Load of shit.

It's going to be quite a few years before all these issues are solved really, if they ever will.. since nothing is bug free

Do you guys know what FIFA 12 stands for?

Are you saying FIFA fans are gay???

Are you saying FIFA fans are gay???

Judging by who have said that they play Fifa in this thread that would be an easy conclusion to make.

I guess Liverpool fans still all play PES6, constantly telling each other that this is the year it makes a comeback and becomes the number one football game again.

Some good news:

I guess 'all clear' means he might miss 1-2 games tops if the leg is sore or whatever, but considering how nasty the challenge looked it's good to know he's okay.

And here's something quite reassuring and humbling that happened in the Swedish league:

AIK-Djurgården derby, TIFO - YouTube

These are two Swedish teams who hate each other, but co-ordinated a protest at their next derby game against collective punishment of fans, banning of flares etc. The silence at the start coincides with both sets of fans unveiling banners that say "this is what football is like without fans". And then they kick off after a minute of silence, into some brilliant displays.

Soon as the second half kicked off, both ends lit dozens of flares and the match got called off. Point made.

BBC Sport - Arsene Wenger says Arsenal season rests on reaction to defeat

With Bolton at the weekend, could this backfire on Arsene?

 

[eksdee]

Has anything not backfired on Wenger in the past year?

Going to be fun seeing how Mertesacker does in the game against Bolton.

 

[caLLous]

Yes, in a word. None of their next 5 are going to be easy.

 

[Everz]

Pogba to start for United tonight it seems.

Is Fifa12 any good on PC?

 

[eksdee]

In previous years the PC version has always been dogshit, would be interested to know if they finally brought in on par with the Xbox/PS3 versions. Easy enough to plug an Xbox controller into the PC also.

I've googled it and it seems like it will finally have the same functions as console versions. So maybe it won't be shit

Suddenly I am a bit interessted!

 

[Lethul]

Maybe we should make an homosexual ultimate team?

 

[eksdee]

Handsome 11?

That's a seriously great topic for discussion actually. Post your pick for the most handsome 11, include subs if you're really gh3y. Having a think on mine now. Early shouts: Scott Parker and Kevin Keegan (in his pomp obviously).

 

[gohan]

You're such a fag


Peter Beardsley, Luke Chadwick and Carlos Tevez would all make my team

Struggling with defenders!

FIFA12 for PC will finally have Ultimate Team..?

FIFA11 for PC was quite a big improvement over FIFA10 for the PC really, had a lot more features that the console version has.

 

[eksdee]

Wasn't it still on that horrible, sub-par graphics engine with weird physics? I'm not actually sure I tried Fifa 11 on the PC thinking about it.

FIFA 12 PC = Xbox & PS3 |

Oooh! Intriguing. Will download the PC demo tonight.

Andre Villas-Boas rules revealed: Secrets of Chelsea's new boss | Mail Online

Nothing particularly new, but so refreshing to see Chelsea portrayed in a positive light. I'm really, really happy with how AVB is managing our team and long may it continue. It's about time we had some stability and longevity at Chelsea.
