I always played as Rushden & Diamonds. Since they went defunct I have not had the heart to return to the game, think FM11 was my last year to play. I missed them too much!I always put ‘Pool down as my favourite team and after winning the champions league and peen league with Rushden they offered me the job. Lasted half a season and was heartbroken I left my team (captained by Conor Clifford at 35 years of age.. A sentimental choice but he was my captain from 20! 100 + Ireland caps too) and didn’t have the heart to go again as Liverpool!As for the old CM games ..GK – Hugo Pinheiro, picked up from some Portuguese team for a song! Mark Kerr in the middle.. Jonas Lunden beside him.Another one who was a bit his and miss with Random stats was Antonio Gallieri from Coventry.. One game he was like Totti next time he was like Ngog.
Goals scored using a rabona should count as two goals because of the almost limitless potential to make a tool out of yourself by getting it spectacularly wrong.
I remember Ronaldo crossing rabona-style in the FA Cup final against Millwall… Had a match the next day and every 13 year-old on the pitch was trying (and spectacularly failing) to replicate it!
If our scrum gets taken apart and out rolling maul fails we’re in serious trouble. Set pieces have to fire but it’s against a team with some of the best set pieces in the world but saying that I’m still hopeful. I think Joe will have an ace up his sleeve.
He’d know all about spending loads on crap players. Andy Carroll, Stewart Downing & Charlie Adam instantly spring to mind. Yet he has the cheek to call Jordan Henderson, now one of Liverpool’s most consistent players, a guaranteed starter & now vice-captain, the reason he got sacked by Liverpool’s hierarchy. This is just nothing but sour grapes.
