Been off sick, will try to get tactics in later.

Afro = BaldFellasBeard? Tim Howard is rocking the Anelka "Upside-down Head" look.

Of course, then we'd have to call Afro "Beard".

Tactics sent to Olly, seeing as he wont be sober until Tuesday I'm sure the lateness can be forgiven

Yeah they're gonna be up late tomorrow, got loads to do

Sent my tactics to you Olly. I realise I play you but I am trusting.

I don't open them until I put them up anyways. Will send mine to you at some point this afternoon/evening. Got loads of school stuff to do first

Good birthday btw Olly? (apart from the Spurs result)

Yes thanks Hero, the box experience at Spurs is quite nice we were sat right on the halfway line above the tunnel which was cool.

Had parsnip soup for the first and last time in my life. Yuck

Were you impressed with what you saw of Spurs?

Aubameyang looks to have hit the ground running at Dortmund, 3 starts 5 goals 1 assist.

Spurs looked decent, but I'm too sure how much that was us being pants, because we were awful. Yet really RVW should've scored at least one really.

Still don't think they got enough service to Soldado. Townsend just cuts in and shoots all the time.

Eriksen looked good, Paulinho was fairly quiet.

Eriksen certainly looked the business on the highlights, think they'll look better again when Capoue returns to allow the attack minded players more freedom.

Eriksen was certainly helped by us playing 4-4-2. And you know he was facing Bradley Johnson, who despite playing awful in 4 out of the 5 games this season, is still a regular starter for us #headsgone

In more football section based hilarity, more English players would get into a combined squad than their Belgium counterparts.

Also Roy Hodgson would turn down Spain to stay with England

Why doesn't Mark Noble get a look in for England. Seriously, is our current central mid crop actually that much better?

Our CM options actually arent that bad. Roy just has an allergy to holding onto the ball

I apologise to anyone taking their own time to watch that. Good point though.

When Roy doesn't give a chance to Carrick what hope does Noble have? Hodgson is a 1970 P.E teacher, those methods will not work at International level.

I'd like Hoddle as England manager.

Morning.

I got my Nexus on Friday, what a phone and at 200 it's a bargain. I competed it against the very expensive Iphone 5, Samsung Galaxy 4 and the HTC One all highly rated phones. In terms of smoothness and performance my phone came out on top no lag, no drop of frame it's bloody impressive. The only time my phone got beat was when we were loading websites and it was only beaten by milliseconds and some websites my phone loaded up first. For me it has to be pound for pound greatest phone.

Morning Viva. I do not own a Mobile Phone =[

Also which doofus gave me no injuries

No mobile phone?

This isn't the 90s any more Nando. You need to throw out your mangle and push pops and get with the times.

Clear dives to get a retrospective 1 match ban?

That won't get rid need 3-5 matches.

If you can dive get your team 3 pts with a late penalty and miss just 1 game your going to do it.

Nah don't need one 

Its quite refreshing for Viva to get a new phone and it be the greatest phone ever. That's never happened before

Don't agree with straight red for diving as I think it is not always that clear cut on first view and there are already loads of times ref's get it wrong. There will be too many times where a red is shown and then rescinded.

Retrospective is definately the way to go. Need a sizeable ban as a deterant. Perhaps a tiered punishment system, which eventually leads to team's losing points - say the 3rd time a club has a player found guilt, they start losing points? Clubs would soon police it themselves then

I think diving can be a little too subjective though. Who says a dive is a dive? What amount of contact is enough contact? Be plenty of uproar from clubs and players if they get bans and feel like they didn't dive and evidence was inconclusive.

if it's inconclusive you don't ban them. 

Can i request a Corinthians/WHU rematch later in season since someone cocked up and gave me no injuries

Nando how do you not have a phone?

Haha Afro I hope one day me banging about my phones will convince you guys to follow my path.

Happy Moyes condoning diving doubt many will give him any credit though.

I agree on Moyes Viva.

I think the clubs need to take the lead on this tbh

I think if you tack on an extra game for each successive dive it'd do th job.

Youngs dives look rehearsed at this point, it's sad

I'm embarrassed for Young, and it's ridiculous how some United fans tried defending him. If the club send out a statement against diving I think the player will take note of it.

If Fergie told him not to a while back. What chance does Moyes have.

Yeah I had that in mind while I was typing my post. They'll have to attack their own players how they attack opposition players for diving. It's cheating and it's a joke when managers try to cover up for a player.

The only way Moyes can come out of this smelling of roses is by doing this:

NEVER SELECT ASHLEY YOUNG AGAIN

By doing so, not only does he rid himself of a notorious cheat, who soils the good name of the club, but also improves United's chances of winning, as Young is rubbish and whoever comes in for him cannot possibly be as bad as him #freekagawa

 I bet you'd never do that yourself Azzy. Your extreme views are hilarious, I'd vote for you to be Prime Minister any day.

More important point is that it is not Moyes' job to come out smelling of roses. He's not going to do things because it makes him look good or because other people think he should.
 
He is going to do whatever is best for United, which is what SAF did and what I would expect any manager of Everton to do for Everton's benefit.
 
If that makes him the most hated person in football, but United win things, then job done.

Any chance of answer on my rematch question 

"Can i request a Corinthians/WHU rematch later in season since someone cocked up and gave me no injuries"

Moyes has said his bit on Young. I hope Young stops it, hes always been known for it & its one reason why ive never rated him.

Lets look at a positive, Adnan looked bright when coming on. Hope we see more if him this season.
Moyes says Rooney wont play in midfield, that's good but bad for Shinji as he likes to play central behind the striker. #FreeShinji

*Shakes magic 8 ball*

Absolutely!

Guys is there still a minimum purchase price for TPs? I ask because it's not on the rules page, nor the TP page OP.

It's always 500k 

I did not and have not edited this.....much

Minimum purchase price I think he means.

I think it is £500k. I was thinking about it too as I have my eye on a dirt cheap target

If it's £500k, I'll only sign one of the players I want then.

Did you win your cricket game Azzy?

It was rained off soddy, so we get a free game in 2014 to make up for it

Sweet. Although not sweet that it rained and caused the cancellation. I played hockey in the drizzle and I must have trod on dozens of worms that decided to cross the pitch. Like a massacre for worms.

Apparently the groundsman put a key into the pitch and it cut like a spongecake
