Matuidiiiiiiiiii!

by Marky Wed 03 Apr 2013, 7:15 am

Can't believe GSC and Olly don't agree with me on Alexis Sanchez cheating to win a penalty last night.

GSC even admitted he was looking to win a penalty! He beat Sirigu to the ball, knocked it past him knowing he wouldn't get near the ball (it went for a goal kick) and he waited for the contact. He won the foul, therefore its cheating! How you can say otherwise is beyond me.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 03 Apr 2013, 8:49 am

Morning.

I agree Marky. Sanchez didn't have the ball under his control & went in to win the penalty

by sodhat Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:12 am

I didn't think Beckham played badly during the 70 minutes he was on, and I can see why he was picked. His passing is still pinpoint and his set pieces can cause big problems.

Still, Verratti came on and was magnificent. Albeit for 20 minutes only.

Thiago Silva too. I think Clive Tyldesley was creaming his pants over him by the end.

He kicked the ball and literally like a millisecond afterwards the keeper takes him out. I'd love to have seen how he was meant to get out of the way in the time there was.

by sodhat Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:18 am

I can see both points actually.

He deliberately knocked the ball away to take the contact and he had no intention of staying on his feet. Equally though, the keeper cleans him out. Whether he was able to score if he stays on his feet or not is irrelevant really.

by Marky Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:18 am

Olly, the angle from behind the goal clearly shows Sanchez's leg "drag" behind him and be hit by Sirigu's chest. Its cheating, but it worked as it fools people like you into thinking he was callously taken out by an onrushing goalkeeper when he was certain to score.

Sirigu takes out the leg he kicks the ball with first.

by Marky Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:23 am

Ladies and Gentlemen, the internet equivilant of Wee weeing into the wind.

Very naïve to think Sanchez wasn't cheating Olly, one day you'll learn.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:26 am

He knicks the ball away, the keeper catches the leg he has just kicked the ball with, it's a foul.

Is it because the ball went out of play? Because there was a lot of contact...

by Guest Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:29 am

Morning lads, hope you all had a good Easter

The game last night had it all - great goals, swish passing, flicks, tricks, late drama, cheating...a great game of football. I thought Beckham looked quite good, especially considering his relative lack of match sharpness and his age.

On the FUT front, I had 28k coins last Wednesday - as of this morning I have 111k in the bank, plus 88k of cards on sale which will get me a further 132k, plus a further 132k of cards in my consumables pile which would get me a further 198k in sales. So I've gone from 28k to (once all the cards I have currently have sold)...441k.

All by buying 4-4-2 formation cards for 2,200 MAX, then selling them for 3,200 or 3,300 BIN. A profit of 840-940 each time I sell one, and I generally sell anything between 3-5 per hour. As I'm at work I expect to sell c.25 while I'm here, which means I'll have made a profit of 21k-23.5k.

Rather than spend the cash on improving from Neuer to Casillas (110k), I'm just saving up for the TOTW Messi, which I reckon I'll have by mid-April.

by GSC Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:30 am

Sanchez looked for the foul, but ultimately he was fouled.

by GSC Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:32 am

Anyone done injuries for our league yet. Need to plan my moves and can't spend without knowing whose available

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:34 am

I'm on it

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:46 am

Sanchez looked for the foul, but ultimately he was fouled.

Yep! Thats spot on.

Wasn't there some sort of rule stating you had to have the ball under some sort of control to win the/a foul? or along those lines?
Or am I just imagining that.

by GSC Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:47 am

Aye it's an odd one for me. I remember Rooney winning one against Arsenal a few years back when he smacked it straight out of play

I don't know if that rule exists. I mean you get pens given for pushing at corners and holding, and that guy isn't in control of the ball, just being prevented from getting there.

by Guest Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:48 am

Congrats to Afro too, I've just been reading back a few pages clap

And Andy Carroll's goal was terrific, agreed. I don't mind conceding goals if they're like that.

Was there something like that in the past then?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:53 am

That my friends is a shocking dive

by sodhat Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:54 am

I'm not sure. It's a common sense rule really isn't it?

I mean if I boot the ball 60 yards out of the stadium and then get tripped after doing so, it probably shouldn't be a foul.

The ref had to give the pen last night though. Clear contact and he could have potentially reached tha ball afterwards. He was only booked because it wasn't a clear goalscoring chance.

There was one given like that for West Ham against Norwich I distinctly remember Whistle

How do you embed youtube clips on here? Seems I failed above lol

by GSC Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:56 am

Get rid of the featured bit in the link and it works Olly.

by GSC Wed 03 Apr 2013, 9:56 am

Youll need to find the video from you tubes homepage I think

Im not disputing last nights pen. I just had in my head some strange dodgy rule like that used to or does exist.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 03 Apr 2013, 10:08 am

Mushroom head been shortlisted for TOTW, get investing!!!

by Marky Wed 03 Apr 2013, 10:29 am

I assume you mean Gervinho.

by Guest Wed 03 Apr 2013, 10:41 am

IF Messi = 2.4m, TOTY Messi = 3.7m. Should I go for that, or get IF Messi + NIF Ronaldo? Choices, choices...

Get an IF Andy Carroll instead

I was practicing penalties on Fifa yesterday and trying to work out if there is a special method to tell which way the keeper is going. There is, but by the time you see which way he's falling you can't actually move the penalty and it goes straight on.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 03 Apr 2013, 10:45 am

Yes! Thing is ive only bough a few right now as I dont think he will make the cut.
Pizzaro got 4 goals, Ricky van Wolf & Lima hatricks so I doubt mushroom will get in.
So im only buying a few

by sodhat Wed 03 Apr 2013, 11:00 am

I've been too efficient guys.
Literally no work to do because I've done it all, and I've even done work that doesn't need to be done until October.

Someone say Jack Wilshere is the best player ever or something, I need an afternoon's entertainment at this rate.

by Guest Wed 03 Apr 2013, 11:06 am

Michael Carrick was dreadful against Chelsea, I think Fergie should sell him while he can. He's looking increasingly laid back and playable.

How do you have no work to do?

Damn im getting to the busy period. Soon as it warm up BAM BAM BAM!!! Phones will ring that much & constantly I wont have to be proactive & get my own business in, but I will as thats what I do!

by sodhat Wed 03 Apr 2013, 11:16 am

I did it all!

It's a quiet year after doing a lot last year and the year before so now I have mostly repeat work to do, which won't take long because I've already got most stuff in place.

by Guest Wed 03 Apr 2013, 11:24 am

Hour two done, current totals are:

Cash = 132k
In trade pile = 88k of purchases, sale price of 128k-132k
In consumables = 134k of purchases, sale price of 195k-202k.
TOTAL = if all sell, 465k

Do you play regular career mode any more Azzy, or are you all about Ultimate Team?

by Marky Wed 03 Apr 2013, 11:41 am

I've spent this morning doing zero work, and have done two of my three lots of tactics due this week all by mobile.

And I've eaten a whole Smarties Easter Egg. Mainly one decent sized egg and one tube of Smarties. Apparently they're unsuitable for my daughter so I "volunteered" to take the candy covered bullets.

by sodhat Wed 03 Apr 2013, 11:43 am

I couldn't get eggs at easter because I shopped too late, so I got everyone a box of celebrations instead.

As of last night no-one has eaten any so I got annoyed and ate some, then felt bad.

by Marky Wed 03 Apr 2013, 11:44 am

Mate of mine wrote this on Facebook this morning, happened right in front of him.

Mum and 2 kids. One has a balloon one doesn't. Mums solution ? Pop the balloon. Hmmm

I try to play three games every night, 2 FUT and one career mode (my Albion/England game). I've never done the Be a Pro mode or whatever it is, as I don't like the camera angles and don't like being fixed to one player all game.

by Marky Wed 03 Apr 2013, 11:56 am

For Azzy and his WBA/England game, mine is Crawley/Northern Ireland Laugh

But I do have a Crawley side (nothing like the current one) 5th in the Prem and NI are 2nd in Euro Qualification.

by sodhat Wed 03 Apr 2013, 11:57 am

You can change the camera back to tele or whatever your preference is in Be a Pro. I have it on tele so I can see more of the field. I completed a whole season on BAP and then got loaned out again so I got fed up with it and went all in on Manager.

by sodhat Wed 03 Apr 2013, 11:58 am

I refuse all national team jobs right now, I don't want them muddying the waters of my West Ham mission. Champions League in 2015 notworthy

by Guest Wed 03 Apr 2013, 12:12 pm

Well as you know, I won the Euros with England, and the league with Albion. I think the cash injection unlockable may have helped me a bit though Whistle

There are no camera angles on BAP that make it easy to play, and even if there was, I still don't like being 'restricted' to the one player. I'm very much a team player.

Nearing the end of hour three, how many 4-4-2s will I sell?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 03 Apr 2013, 12:16 pm

I've been doing a career mode with Spurs, third season now, not won much always lose the finals lol. Here is me team;

-------------------Ruddy------------------
Walker-Subotic-Verthonghen-Baines
--------------------Capoue------------------
--------------Fellaini--Holtby--------------
Shaqiri----------------------------------Bale
------------------Aubameyang---------------

Also started a BAP the other day as Snodgrass. Into October im top scorer in the league with 6 goals. So easy I just cut inside and shoot everytime lol

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 03 Apr 2013, 12:19 pm

Oh and the Daily Mail is a pathetic excuse of a newspaper

by Guest Wed 03 Apr 2013, 12:21 pm

I always thought Capoue was pronounced "Cap-ooo-eh", but according to ESPN's French football programme it's just "Cap-ooo". Not as fancy sounding that.

by sodhat Wed 03 Apr 2013, 12:23 pm

What is the cash injection thing? I never had that! I just sell players for high prices and replace them.

My team at the moment is:

--------------Henderson
Gonul---Diagne---Tomkins---Cresswell
--------------Wanyama
----------Holtby----Breitner
Morrison----------------------Schurrle
--------------Suarez (Matias)
