Be Excellent To Each Other

'Arry does have the sign over Manchester United, though (FA Cup wins for his Bournemouth, West Ham and Pompey teams over them), so we should win most games.

I thought he only played on the wii?

Possibly not about tonight chaps, might be taking the lady to see a film. But if you see me on live send over an invite.

Also, FUCK SPURS

After this week, I petition that a brand new poll be started, as PSV, Turkey et al have had their chance and clearly aren't fancied.

No one wants to play as Turkey, we'd get absolutely stuffed

Im running a thing where if the teams dont have a more than 2 votes in 2 weeks then there off. So PSV and Turkey will be off for the next poll, oh and also athletico madrid.

So I need 3 teams, from anywhere Im not bothered as long as their not bobbins. I'd like one international team though at least, one team per person, first come first served, no refunds.

Manchester Un - *ERK*

We've already been them anyway, dont think we were any better.

Inter Milan.

Small word of warning - Inter play a weird bit-all-over-the-place more-or-less-4-3-3 system that I had trouble getting used to.

Good fun having the line led by Kaka, Ronaldinho and Shevchenco, though.

That's AC Milan, mate.

MILANPWND.

Inter still play 4-3-3, though. I quite like it.

GAH!

Especially embarassing since I've played 20+ games for them in Be A Pro.

They still haven't sorted out the game-ruining "Players Going Mysteriously Missing From The Squad Select Screen" bug, though. Kaka, Ronaldinho and Pirlo have all wandered off from my game. Fucking EA Sport never change.

Let's be Barcelona.

Or Brazil.

Or Holland.

Or France.

Well, they certainly won't be in the Man City squad ZOMGLOLROFL etc

That 'joke' brought to you by the BBC 606 message boards.

I know, but you're bound to have played as a few of them before, so didn't want my first suggestion to be met with, "We've played as them already".

So just take one of them.

You gh3y n00bl4r f4gg0t

We haven't played as any of them, Ill go with first pick, If you want to see a list of the teams we have played as look at the first post.

Were drawing on the teams front I might be all snooty and pick the one Im voting for, but who am I voting for? tense.

I don't want to be Spurs really.

international team please and I also need an italian team to replace roma.

I already asked for Inter Milan.

yeah but im replacing 4 of them, and only got barcelona and inter milan so far, so since ive got an italian team, any two good teams people.

How about Ajax (think romanista mentioned them earlier also)?

They must only be about 3 stars these days, though. We lose enough as it is!

Why can't we play as Man U?

That's not the spirit!

...and apparently we played as them before...

We've already played as them, if I remember correctly. Check the first post in this thread.

Also it would prevent us claiming 'moral victories' in all the games we lose

Bump Poll is open.

Would you like me to reset the poll?

yeah cool.

Let's see if I can, then.

I can imagine the thread crumpling on my screen then imploding.

Cheeky bugger. Right, that's done. You can do it in future yourself—I think—by just adding another poll option, saving, then deleting it again.

Because I don't think I'd be able to resist using whoever I was controlling to go studs-up into Ronaldo's sunlight-blockingly huge adam's apple.

Unless I was actually playing Ronaldo, of course. Then I'd just have to make him repeatedly smash his stupid flat gormless wholly chin-free face into a goalpost.

So who are we tonight, and where is everyone?

I've been playing actual football, in the rain. Just got home, but Maria will be back from Ireland shortly, so I can't log on.

Hope the game(s) went well.

Well, I beat myp 2-0, so that one went quite well.
Nobody else showed up either.

They obviously heard I couldn't make it and thought there was no point.

Or they heard that myp could make it...

I couldn't log in. Stoopid EA server.

Why do you keep having that problem?

I have no idea. Its not my Internet connection or XBL as both were fine before or after, and good enough for playing CoD 4.

Could it be possible that they are prioritising other users when there is high demand as I have a 25% DNF%? (Played 4 online games and the interturd went down half way through game 4 on the day I bought it). Its the only possible reason that comes to mind.

It's possible. *buffs 0% DNF badge*

I think you're just incompetent, Riles.

And did you just say you have CoD4?

He's got it on loan from his brother, I believe.

Sorry chaps, we went to the cinema. Orange wednesday makes the price just about tolerable.

Sorry I missed this, I totally forgot to change the teams before I went out.

It certainly looks like I said that.

I'm observant.
