Anyone here ever taken a penalty in a game that means something? Even if it was just a school house cup game.

I've never had to, I reckon I'd miss anyway. I'd probably step up and change my mind a hundred times about where I put it.

Not me mate.

Actually, I have taken a pen in 5 a side. I missed. Keeper was showing me more goal one side but then reached my shot before it could sneak in. Bastard.

Morning

I've taken penalties in a penalty shoot out twice in a tournament and scored both times. Scored zillions of penalties in 5 a side.

did you dive like Rooney to win them?

I've taken one in a penalty shootout at 5 a side. I didn't bother picking a side, I just hit it and scored

Noah is the default penalty taker for his team and is usually pretty good at picking his spot with it.
He played Monday night at Bury and got 4 goals, two of which were long range free kicks.

Nice, do you watch all of his games Hero?

Anyone around to help me via PM? About my team.

Where does he get his talent from Hero?

What's your penalty record like, or is your wife a secret, female, Matt Le Tissier?

I reckon his milkman used to play for Soviet Union before the wall came down and he had to go into hiding.

I scored the winning goal in a tournament once. It was the museums tournament I organised, it was 1-1 with 10mins to go and there were so many better players than me. However being captain I picked the ball up and smashed it in off the post. 2-1, and we held on for dear life.

The next year we beat the same team 3-0 in the final, I scored the third goal despite being about four yards offside. The guys never lived that one down.

I scored the last minute equaliser a couple of times. One was a particularly chippy game where I'd taken a guy out and he's gone full Nemanja Matic about it. Possibly fairly.

But I scored the goal right in front of him. Evidence, perhaps, that there is no justice.

Never have never will. I've always been fair when I play Football, I don't like to win by cheating or playing long balls.

Why do Man City get bashed for their record in the Champions League?

11/12 They had Bayern, Napoli and Villareal. Not an easy group to get out of in thier debut season.

12/13 Madrid, Dortmund and Ajax I wouldn't wish that group on my worst enemy and they didn't get make it through.

13/14 Bayern, Plzen and CSKA they made it through the group and faced Barca who are still a force.

14/15 Roma, Bayern and CSKA another tricky group which they managed to finish 2nd and currently losing to a Barca side that would beat most teams in Europe.

He's not got any of his skills from me, I was on the school team but simply due to being a big lump that was happy to stick my leg out as the opposition striker was beating down on goal, I was more Ryan Shawcross to Noah's Messiesque skills. He's got to the point now that when he's just walking about his feet are just constantly doing skills, like the muscle memory has gone into overload and developed some form of Maradona turn Tourette's.

Messi can't do it on a cold night in Manchester, let alone Stoke

Just realised I've only got three games left this season now! Jeez they go fast.

Yeah I've got you this week coming up Hero! Good luck to me!

Do we round up to the nearest 100k when buying players or do we round down aswell?

In middle school (smaller goals) there was a 6-a-side tournament, our group of three teams were tied as every game finished 0-0, so we had some weird three way penalty shootout, and I leant back too much and put my penalty over the bar. Fortunately most of our takers missed so we were eliminated because of all of us rather than an individual

Good luck to too mate.

My final three games are you, FL and then Afro on the last day of the season.

Thanks, In all seriousness good luck mate, Im not gonna say I don't have a chance but I know the game will be difficult I am realistic.

Anyone able to answer my question above please?

Like I know we round up but what if a player is like .2 of a mill?

If it's for example 0.44 then it's 0.4, if it's 0.45 then it's 0.5.

Oh yeah of course it is, thank you.

Didn't realise Trebs was so high up the table, his squads recovering from his second season madness.

He is usually up there regardless though isn't he?

What I thought we could do is that if the teams continue on for a few more seasons and squads start to grow more that we have a u21 league with mini tactics, that then gives people different things to aim for.

Holymiky wrote:He is usually up there regardless though isn't he?

Tactically he's peerless, transferwise last season though I think he'd be the first to admit he went a bit Brendan Rodgers.

I like that idea Hero, the only thing is would we include players who are already playing at top teams or would we not allow that?

I was the opposite

Anyone up for a deal?

PAOK are always up for a deal, make us an offer if you want to, you don't have to if you don't want to.

You don't manage PAOK do you? Thought that was Afro?

Afro and Viva co-manage, Viva does tactics.

Absolutely bolloxed it up last season but it's getting fixed now think

Evening lads, what are everyones thoughts on Afellay? I just signed him.

Unfulfilled potential.

Going to be honest, not a guy Id have brought in, a player who looked great in a small pond but floundered amongst the bigger fish.

Leverkusen are playing good against Atletico. Drmic has been winning nearly every aerial ball against godin and miranda.

Great goal by calhanoglu. Bellarabi with a good assist too.

Calhan ruddy olgu!!!!!

Last 2 weeks I've been trying to flog him, glad no one tried too hard!

It's interesting because i was going to try really hard to buy him off you today too!

Ding ding round 73 of the Viva/Nando Utd/Arsenal banter tomorrow...

No banter necessary. Two former giants of the English game, both slipping irreparably into mid-table mediocrity. No amount of spending will transform United into title contenders, and no amount of CL QFs will transform Wenger's Arsenal into a top side.

Both clubs need to completely reset.

Yeah times irrefutably up on Wenger at Arsenal. He's been a giant of the PL era but his time is past.

That said, those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, United are even worse

Good morning all.

How are you?

I always back our teams in Europe but this year has been embarrassingly poor. Only Chelsea look halfway decent and have a shot at the next round.

I also caught up with what the West Ham fans were singing at Harry Kane that was so insulting. I laughed so hard that I didn't breathe for about a minute.

Okay, I'll be the one to ask - when are results coming?
