i just want to throw an idea in the mixer. yobo and lescott are without doubt our best centre halfs. but stubbs brings a little assurance and leadership to the defence. we have only one player down the left at the moment. so just for arguments sake. would anybody go for a 352/532 using wing backs, the extra man in defence can do away with a holding player also. maybe ---------------howard---------------- ---------yobo stubbs lescott-------- neville-------------------------baines ------arteta gravesen pienaar------ ----------yakubu johnson-----------

while i was lucky enough to get my copy a day early i'll give a quick review. as with the last fifa, it is just an ugraded version of the previous years game. the graphics are identical, the kits and boots have been upgraded and all the usual bits and bobs. even the menus are the same, but with updated colours. but it seems a lot of time has been put into the match play. where as old fifa games every shot hits the target (or near enough) and every pass hits your man, every ball weighted perfect. not anymore, a lot of emphasis has been put on this by the looks of it. there is a wider range of pass this time round, distance is also controlled by the player, man selection has changed(a couple of times i found i had selected the GK and made a right mess). on a whole you are alot more involved, and take control of the team more than ever. Everton - still no Goodison Park. transfers are as of 25/8/07. so we dont have yak or tommy. strangely enough, we have one manuel fernandes!!! also wessells, jags, pienaar and baines. on the youth side, we've got vic an jv as before, being joined by lucas j, boyley, vidarsson and JPK also makes an appearance. on the whole i like it. the game play seems to be catching up on PES. anybody who is already a fifa fan will be happy, PES fans may be pulled in a little too. EDIT: james vaughan is now white

i dont think either will go to be honest, not till at least the end of the season.

by all acounts the scoreflattered us

personally id play arteta on the left, we have plenty of lpayers who can play wide right, but only arteta is good enough to cover the left imo (apart from lord van der lucan)

you both smell of piss! now thats stupid

i love play.com! sat in work doing nothing, then suddenly the post turns up containing FIFA 08! happy boy! feel a sicky comnig on

i was told last nite there was limited availability at the club shop

haha not this time, hes the one muppet who can afford what he wants!

howrard ????? yobo lescott baines areta cahill jags ????? yak aj

it did actually say in the terms and conditions about match rights beyond the clubs control. i imagine the club buy back the rights to their own games in the uk but dont bother abroad. or get one of them i.p. scrambling programme thingys

and if we keep a clean sheet, and again on sunday, with stubbs playing, will you be happy to keep him in the side if we're getting clean sheets?

maybe nike has already been driven to drink!

Da Silva has just gone back to Barnsley for abnother month.

he's back! our lack of creative players makes us go cap in hand to the waster! VAN_IS_BACK_LINK

mcfly covering town called malace. one of my fav songs ever, covered by my pet hate! not too offensive, just the who;e idea made me want to drive into a brick wall!

time for good ol' stubbsy to come back and steady up our defence. we should have enough to win this, at least i hope so anyway. start with yak and aj, if we gain a nice couple of goal lead, bring on some cover.

im happy for him to play his usual lazy game, if we give him the service and he scores the goals.

journalism, probably just made up or guessed. wouldnt worry about it too much myself

all the best laa

is that the one with the full orchestra? only seen snippets, aparently its musical genius

doubt cahill will be, fingers crossed for arteta thou

yes, running slowly thou.....very, very, very slow! <_<

same shit, different toilet!!!

i'm skinny, and about 6"2. about phills size actually (plus a beer belly!)
