Afro has tactics from me, and if memory serves me correctly he has Viva's already.

Gregers, if he hasn't already, needs to send his to Afro.

Bull and Olly need to get theirs sent to me.

I have Markys and Gregers, and will post them up later when I get 5 mins.

Don't have Vivas though. More likely to be Sod that has them

by FIFA Diva Fri 22 Mar 2013, 9:11 pm

I had a look in my messages and can't find my sent tactics.

by GSC Fri 22 Mar 2013, 9:12 pm

Soddy has them I think.

by FIFA Diva Fri 22 Mar 2013, 9:19 pm

I did send them to him. Maybe he has forgot.

No, its in the rules that you need 3 U21's.

Norwich City FC ‏@NorwichCityFC
City have agreed to sign striker Ricky Van Wolfswinkel from Sporting Lisbon on a 4-year deal from July 1, subject to paperwork #ncfc

BOOM!

by GSC Fri 22 Mar 2013, 11:35 pm

I think the real question is whether he has a fit sister.

Terrific signing for Norwich. Guarantees goals given good service and, with respect to Norwich, you'd have expected him to go somewhere bigger.

See if you can find the video of him joking around with Huntelaar on Nike duty. Pure comedy

by Marky Sat 23 Mar 2013, 9:13 am

All tactics posted for the Cup, voting open with the deadline of Monday night. Everyone got tactics in, which means this now applies to everyone.

Vote, and you get £2.5m even if you weren't in a match this week.

Those in matches, not voting means -1 from your score and only £1m instead of £2.5m. Votes sent to me by PM. Vote on any match outside of your group.

I see it being like Ramirez at Southampton in that he'll move onto a bigger club if he does well enough.

No offence taken! He's much better than anything we've probably ever had (bar Wilbrahamovic)

by sodhat Sat 23 Mar 2013, 11:38 am

stupid weather means no hockey and there is no football to fall back on. what a crappy saturday this is!

by GSC Sat 23 Mar 2013, 11:54 am

I hate international breaks for this reason. Saturday is football day, but instead we got to see England take on an amateur team on friday

by Marky Sat 23 Mar 2013, 12:02 pm

Crawley v Crewe is off.

Three Bridges (in Crawley, in Ryman Div 1) have their game on. Looks like that's my backup.

by GSC Sat 23 Mar 2013, 4:35 pm

I saw an interesting idea on twitter. Have youth players referee games as part of their development. Might encourage more respect.

It appears world superstar, Alfonso Alves+ will be making the step up to West Ham

by sodhat Sun 24 Mar 2013, 11:47 am

Please refer to him as the next Didier Drogba. He better be if we spend 14m on him.

Ravel Morrison = fifa beast

by Marky Sun 24 Mar 2013, 11:52 am

I've sent myself votes, saves me worrying about it tomorrow. If the rest of you could send votes to me by tomorrow night that'd be great. But today would mean less fraking around tomorrow with voting.

by GSC Sun 24 Mar 2013, 1:54 pm

I don't know why I go on the F1 board anymore. Can't decide whether they love Hamilton or hate Vettel more.

I'll vote later

Afro, is that the Football Cake one? If so its hilarious.

by Guest Mon 25 Mar 2013, 9:28 am

Sounds like soddy had better bone up on his Bony. Better than Andy Carroll at any rate.

Vettel is a douche, a Kraut, and so arrogant he makes Schumacher look like a saint. What a scumbag.

by **Hero** Mon 25 Mar 2013, 9:34 am

I disagree on that Azzy.
It's a race, he wants to win, I think if he didn't want to be the winner then there's something wrong with him. Redbull should have just let them race IMO.

by Guest Mon 25 Mar 2013, 9:49 am

All the drivers want to win, but he's employed by his team to do a job, and that job was explicitly made clear - stay behind Webber. He disobeyed an instruction from his employer. If I did that, I'd be on discliplinary proceedings! But they won't touch the golden child, no, he's too special to be told off.

Webber should quit now, and move to another team.

by GSC Mon 25 Mar 2013, 9:52 am

Vettel was naughty, but that's what winners do ultimately. Last year he won a title by 3 points. He got 8 more yesterday

by sodhat Mon 25 Mar 2013, 9:53 am

It was a dick move, but it's more exciting than coasting to the end of a GP with the top four all told to not do any more racing.

I will bone up on Bony (Drogba+/Alves-). £14m is a heck of a chunk for us though. Club record I imagine.

by **Afro** Mon 25 Mar 2013, 9:53 am

I agree with Azzy a bit. How many times has Webber held back to give Vettel the additional points. Vettel has never run away with the championships, so those points have been vital and Vettel may not have won any of his titles without Webber’s help, It’s just complete arrogance.

Webber will have eased off in the belief that his teammate wouldn’t challenge him, so it’s not necessarily a case of the fastest driver winning, but the one who has everything laid on a plate for him.

But it is that kind of attitude that does make him 3 time world champion and more likely to win a title this year than Webber.

by Guest Mon 25 Mar 2013, 9:55 am

I think Webber will be ultra-competitive now. If Red Bull tell him to move aside for Vettel, do you think he'll do it now? I'd hope he'd tell them to shove their team orders, and beat him. Webber's actually a better driver than Vettel, as Afro says none of Vettel's titles would have been his without Webber's assistance.

by GSC Mon 25 Mar 2013, 9:58 am

Vettel won his 2nd title by a million points.

Webber better than Vettel? Oh dear Azzy.

by Guest Mon 25 Mar 2013, 10:01 am

Give them the same car, no team orders, and yes, I believe Webber is the better driver. Vettel is reckless, exciting, but he's had the benefit of a car that never breaks down (Webber's lost so many races due to his car, as Vettel gets all the good parts), and always been the #1 driver at the #1 team. If it was made into a fair contest, I reckon Webber would be world champion instead.

by **Hero** Mon 25 Mar 2013, 10:02 am

For me team orders should be a complete no no, I know it'd be hard to enforce as they'd just use code words to instruct but surely they'd be able to tell if lap times were suddenly dipping without reason?

I am going to love the rest of the season now if Webber refuses to help Vettel. If I was Webber and I got told to move over, I'd refuse. What are the team going to do about it, they've already set the precedent if they let Vettel get away with it

by GSC Mon 25 Mar 2013, 10:12 am

thy both drive the f10 or whatever number they're on.

Vettel: 3 world titles, 27 career wins, on his way to being an ATG.
Webber: 0 titles, 9 career wins, on his way to retirement soon

by GSC Mon 25 Mar 2013, 10:13 am

Webber will play good soldier, he knew he'd be Vettels number 2 when he signed

by Guest Mon 25 Mar 2013, 10:15 am

One time when Vettel's engine went, they took Webber's engine out of his car rather than use an untested one. That's the level of technological bias there is towards Vettel from his own team - if he needs a new part, he gets the best one, even if it disadvantages Webber. He's been spoon-fed his wins and titles thus far.

They already have sort of banned team orders, that's why Webber told Vettel "Multi 21 Seb, Multi 21", it's their code for "stay behind your teammate and don't be a giant douchebag".

by GSC Mon 25 Mar 2013, 10:18 am

They took his wing, they aren't allowed to swap engines.

Vettel is the #1 driver on RB that's how it works

by **Hero** Mon 25 Mar 2013, 10:28 am

It's hardly banning team orders though when they were quite apparent they were going on yesterday.
If they are banned then surely Vettel was the one guy actually competing by the official rules?

by GSC Mon 25 Mar 2013, 10:30 am

Team orders are fine. They were banned until a couple of years ago until 'Alonso is faster than you' and Ferrari got slapped down.
