I think that is the way forward.

I'm more concerned with Roy's insistence on this formation when we have players that don't suit it. Square pegs in round holes, etc.

Tonight's line up:



Vardy on the wing

Glad I could help

Let's hope you are a safe pair of hands, and find a safe pair to put between the sticks!

Both those Romanian teams no longer exist in real life, so I vote you should start at one of those and see if you can turn their fortunes around in game!

He has been forgettable, like most of the squad.

Well, according to Sky's "Swedish Football Expert", Zlatan doesn't want to live in Manchester but would like to join a club in London. Suggesting Arsenal (although available on a free, don't see them matching his wage demands), Chelsea (would match wages, but maybe not European requirements)...or West Ham! Now, that is a shout. With the money coming in from the new Premier League pay outs, potentially qualifying for Champions League and moving into the Olympic Stadium I would actually love to see this happen and agree it is actually a possibility!

So, Milner to captain and Sturridge to start against the Netherlands tomorrow. Unfortunately I don't think it's likely to be as good a game as the Germany friendly! Just hope we beat them as I have a Dutch boss...

Just read the whole of this, thanks to @Shedender and @Dan for highlighting it as "Career of the month".

@Fola it is good to see your transfer ... "methods" in your Hartlepool save aren't just a one off and you are a manic in the market everywhere you go!

Also, I am now a devout believer of the church of @Cymro ! #PraiseBeToCymro

KUTGW lads!

Ooooh you were almost more hated than the Oystons for that jinx! Luckily, we managed to snatch a win in the 87th minute thanks to a deflected shot from a striker that hasn't scored this calendar year! Sums up the match pretty much. Doncaster played better football overall, especially second half, but particularly early on in the game they failed to deal with our long balls forward and our forwards should have had a brace. It's pretty much the only way we can play at home on our ploughed field of a pitch, so it was a shame to see us plop Norris and McAllister in midfield as brick walls and just hit the ball over them. Ah well, a win is a win and Doncaster fans may well look back on this game as the game they effectively got relegated on. Don't see Crewe surviving now either. Not that we'll survive, Fleetwood and Oldham both sit a point below us but each have 2 games in hand still!

Thanks to the BBC for having this as their live game, but did you have to pay Phil Brown for a what was effectively a scouting trip for him! His Southend team visit our quagmire on Saturday!

One last note, well done to AFC Fylde for their 4-0 thumping of Stockport away - a team that continue to bemuse me in their inability to get promoted. Fylde look destined for the play offs and I hope they get promotion to the Conference Premier for the opening of their new stadium - which is being built only a 10 minute car journey from my mam's house!

Just realised we're the Radio 5 commentary game lol! This will be exciting radio...

Watched Deadpool last night, was alright. Just not that big a fan of Ryan Reynolds tbh.

Rumours still going around that Rodgers will be back at the helm of Swansea next season...

Sorry to derail slightly, but why do we have an U20 and U21 squad at international level? Seems rather excessive...

Hello all,

I assume most of you will have a game on the latest patch and have the English Premier League as "playable". I was just wondering what your league table looked like after the first season, if anyone had a Leicester team in the top 4, if Villa managed to survive on your game, any big teams going down, etc. Obviously it is better if you weren't managing a team in the PL!

For example, on my Blackpool save on the new patch, this is how the table looked:



Leicester didn't quite make it into the top 5, and a lot of important positions were separated by goal difference! Arsenal pipped United to second on it, Chelsea took 4th from Spurs due to it and even Aston Villa survived because of it! (They are parent club, hence the colour).

No surprise to see Sunderland go down, maybe slightly at being rock bottom, but Stoke and Southampton joined them!

So, any shocks or close calls in your first season of the Premier League or similar?

Hope you all remembered to put your clocks forward, though most things do it automatically now!

Happy chocolate egg day!

Wasn't sure this was going to be your season towards the end there! Could even see the play off final going to penalties. Congratulations on the promotion!

We played better when Welbeck went off

You should try being a Blackpool fan if you think you have it bad All that applies plus more! Our fans even get it from the board too, sued and abuse!

I think we're now two points above the relegation zone, with all the teams below us having at least one game in hand. We visit Doncaster on Easter Monday, which happens to be one of those teams below us. Hopeful we might steal a win there, we used to have some good games at the Keepmoat.

This is what Roy has gone for:

Never been a fan of the Star Wars films, but watched the latest one last night because I could. They really tried to play up the nostalgia, to the detriment of the movie I think, but as a non-fan it was okay.

Well, they were setting up The Punisher for his new series too.



House of Cards season 4 next on the "to watch" list

Hart's injured @Carroll.

Home to Bury today. Actually quite hopeful of a win, again. Bury haven't been good away from home and they're missing a few key players. Redshaw is probably our biggest miss after his stupid sending off but we've brought in another striker on loan and I think Cullen still has more to offer. Still, I'd be more hopeful if we were playing the Bury down here!

Woo! Blackpool!

Sorry you had to lose that one

I suppose what I mean is it isn't surprising, rather than comment on the ridiculousness of it.

There are definitely cheaper, better choices out there.

I think this summer transfer window could be one of the craziest yet.

RIP

Aye, saw that in a co-worker's paper this morning too. I think it isn't too ridiculous a price given what other strikers have gone for, e.g. Carroll!

Good to see this back

So, let's have some preferred line ups from that lot:

----------------------Forster-----------------
Walker - Smalling - Stones - Rose
-------------------------Dier-------------------
--------------Milner - Alli - Lallana-------
-------------------Vardy - Kane-------------

If need be, Dier can pull back into defence and Walker/Rose push up as wing backs.
