Euro Division Homepage LXXI

I almost bought an Xbox the other day. I was surprised by how much more expensive it was than a PS4. What is the difference?

I held off. I need to save money so I can buy somewhere to actually live.

Nothing wrong with my tweets. Its an opinion to which many agree with. If you saw all of them I did the say the only thing to do is move on & keep supporting.

Demise my backside. You're seventh.

Come back and moan when you're managed by Avram Grant.

I was being dramatical. Poor form, thats all it is.
If anyone wants go see my tweets, I called Moyes tactically poor. Thats my opinion based on the evidance of our preformances so far this season. I didnt say Im not backing Moyes, Moyes out or anything like that.

Sidney Sam has just signed for Schalke, moves there on July 1st

The main difference is that it comes with the Kinect as standard. It's not going to be for everyone but it means that Microsoft wish to make the Kinect more of a standard feature for games, like with Fifa you can shout commands such as 'Go all out' and your players bomb forward like it's the last minute in a FA Cup final and you're losing. It's quite handy when you're just wanting to watch Netflix etc and it just turns on when you're in the vicinity and you just say 'Go to Netflix', 'Play Dexter' and then if you need to get a drink it's a quick 'pause' command without ever having to pick up a remote or controller which is quite neat.

Is Sam getting any love yet in this league? Remember I brought him in and it wasn't received well.

Hero, I signed Finnbogason for my PSV team like I did with Stoke

Playstation sold 4.2m and Xbox 1 has sold 3m.

Not sure, hit & miss I think but tbh Hero this league is messed up on how players are rated.

Who's standing out as over-rated and under-appreciated player wise?

I know Xbox hasn't launched in a lot of countries yet so presume that's why PS has leapt quite a bit ahead as on the last sales report they were only .1m apart.

An it'd not out in Japan till next month, the gap is only going to increase. I did a lot of reading on both the Playstation and Xbox, I made the right choice I picked the right console.

Who's standing out as over-rated and under-appreciated player wise?

Not sure really, its more just holw players are rated, Started a full blowen convo when I bought Zlatan but the only effect he would have is the same as any other stiker. Striker = goals.
Youth, young players seem to rated much better too & the usual this player has 2 good games now hes a world beater.

The xBox/PS4 gap is also due to pricing. On the EA FIFA forum a lot of the Xbox lads have come over to the PS4 side. Pretty sure that was just to to price of the console.

Not exactly Viva, PS is now currently available in 4x as many countries as the Xbox so as those coutnires become available I imagine sales will level off as it occured with the PS3 and Xbox 360 with PS entering the markets later. PlayStationNow looks a good option for backwards compatibility though although it comes at a price yet to be revealed.

That's pretty standard on most pretend leagues, I've got a team on another league currently that has the following;

--------------Carrick---Iniesta-----------
Kuba-------------Fabregas---------Hazard
------------------Suarez----------------

Yes it's defensively light and rather attacking but there's other teams that are basically kids and are being thought of as equals to guys in their prime.

Yeah that a bit silly. But hey ho, thats the game we play.

I think people want to be as current as possible with their ratings, but it's wrong. The players which have had a good six months should not be put in the same league as those who have done it for the last few years, who have done it on the biggest stage, playing for the top teams.

Roger Johnson. Incredible lolz

Your central defence consists of Michael Turner and Sebastien Bassong. Let's not throw stones at each other from our glass houses.

Joey O'Brien. Gargantuan lolz

At least he didn't cost us £8.5m per goal.

Well at least we didn't spend £15m on some work for the physio

If the rumours are true it's not the physio he's been seeing.

At least our manager isn't the most boring man to ever have existed.

Yeah I can't argue with that last statement.

FOOTBALL

Former Aston Villa, Everton and Germany midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger becomes the first prominent German footballer to announce that he is gay.

---------------------------

Let the jokes commence.

(Good on him though)

The sales in Asia are going to kill it for PlayStation, Japan alone sold 8 times more playstation 3 then the Xbox 360.an even though the Xbox 360 was released a year earlier the ps3 have take it over. 

Depends how much the subscription costs for Playstation and by that time there'll be enough games for ps4.

I don't get with PS/Xbox etc why there seems to be the need by users of one device to poo poo the other. Surely competition is healthy and they're all wanting decent games to be brought through rather than more and more cash being flung at making the likes of Angry Birds instead.


Kuba or Pedro?

I've seen him smash many balls into the goal

Never shy of putting a tackle in from behind.

I met Hitzelberger once he was a nice guy. 

I don't agree with the ratings of the younger players such as Barkley, Morrison and even Wilshere to a degree. They're made out to be seasoned pros and rated very very high. Nick doing the Gerrard for Morrison deal for example, Gerrard is a hundred times better but youth who have promise are rated too high.

I always thought he put his best performances in when coming from behind

VivaPaulScholes wrote:I met Hitzelberger once he was a nice shag. 

  

I sold him to CF for 5m.

Barkley isn't over-rated. But Morrison and Wilshere are.

Pedro for me Hero, have you seen his form recently? Him and Sanchez have been smashing it in Messi's absence.

Unfortunately it'll be back to the bench with him back now seemingly

I sold Davy Klaassen, Joel Veltman and Jorrit Hendrix for a combined £27.5m last week which I then used towards Iniesta.

Cheers Trebs, yes I'm loathe to go for Pedro but he's been bang in form whilst Kuba hasn't.

Barkley is massively operated, what has he done to achieve such high ratings? You got Martinez jumping on the hype saying you can't get him for loan on 50m,you got people already calling him the next Gerrard, others saying he should be in the XI for world cup. There's a trillion foreign players that are better and would cost a lot less and established top players that would also cost less.

Everyone want to poo poo on the competition. From business to end user to football fans. They want to believe they have the best & poop on the competition to put it down. Its natural.
Pedro.

Ahh the swap of a 650k player for a £7.9m which isnt weight heavily in one managers favour so doesnt break any rules.

Trebs wrote:Barkley isn't over-rated. But Morrison and Wilshere are.

All three are. Barkley is playing the best out of them & playing very well but as you said, having a good few months doesnt make you better than players who have been doing it for seasons at the highest level.
Yet youth wins in this league.

Are you confusing Barkley with Tom Cleverley?

Errrr, how is Clevz overrated, everyone says hes poop. thats not exactly being overated now

Yes that's overrating him. He's much worse than that

Thanks mate

Nobody rates Cleverley except me and Mighty.

Cleverly didn't have the best of games but he is naturally the best English player in a long long time. He will be one of the main players at the WC for us.

Well then you are clearly favorite    Don't bottle it  

Is anyone interested in doing some deals with me?

The only thing Cleverley has ever overachieved at is his picking up women skills.

VivaPaulScholes wrote:Nobody rates Cleverley except me and Mighty.

I think hes decent. Standard run of the mill player atm.

At a club like.....Norwich he would probably smash it....

Cleverly gets far too much stick, what about Anderson? I think he is the worst player I've ever seen at United. He has gone backwards from when we signed him, he shows no ambition, he is happy to sit on the bench and collect his wage, Nani gets stick but I know he has the capability to win us a game. What is Anderson holding midfielder, attacking, box to box?  I think Sir Alex needs to take some of the flack on Anderson progression, he must go we can't carry deadwood.

I don't like to criticise our players and always want to give them a chance but it's been what 5 coming on to 6 years and Anderson is dreadful. What does he offer to the team,  he only plays well against Fabregas.

As i keep maintaining guys, United need an Arsenal style clear out of deadwood i could name atleast 8 id get rid of.

Anderson looks like he spends most of his wage at Maccy D's. Whatever happened to Bebe

There needs to be a guarantee that we can replace those deadwood players and sign good players on top of them. 

Anderson, Nani, Ferdinand, Evra, Butter, Cleverly, Kagawa top of my head, don't want Evra to go I love the gut but he has been a liability but my bias towards our players over sees that.

Bebe is playing in the Portuguese 3rd division he scored last week. How did we pay 7m for him.
