Yeah, definitely used to be the case on some of the older versions anyway. I think the only time I saw it happen was on FIFA 10 or 11.
Your remaining fixtures are easier than Arsenal's, you're three (effectively four) points clear of Chelsea with them to play at the Etihad as well as being a better team than either of those two sides. You aren't absolute certainties but you're pretty clear favourites still.
But we're still City.
****ing Bayern.
Delph's going to outgrow Villa by the end of the year. Good player for a team like Newcastle to get - especially in their case having lost Cabaye.
LOVE this goal. Nothing like a near-post in-off-the-crossbar blaster.
Not convinced there is a whole lot of difference between Newcastle and Villa, not long term at any rate.
I think long-term Newcastle's massive support and stadium will probably overcome the club's inherent insanity. It's the medium term I'm not sure about. I'm a huge fan of Lambert, I think a lot of what he's done in terms of investing in youth, cutting down the wage bill and shifting to a more exciting style of play will pay off in the future. But by a lot of accounts his relationship with the chairman has broken down and he's under a bit of pressure- compounded by the fact that they're atrocious at home, which tends to turn the fans against them. If they let him go, or even keep him under icy and constrained circumstances, I can see things falling apart.
Mourinho should be flattered as Allardyce obviously watched Inter Milan's display of "football" from the Nou Camp in 2010 and copied it.
I think they're still a bit more stable and they're 10 points ahead of Villa at the moment. If you like, what I was really getting at was that he could be a good player for a team that can legitimately aim for 6th-8th - Newcastle, Everton, Southampton, teams that probably won't make the top 4 but can look like it in patches throughout the year.
Apparently, it's very much off now.
