Re: Away Tickets Thread - Prague - SOLD OUT 24pts - Tickets now visible in your UEFA App

I think that the “away” section of the stadium covers blocks 119-121, so at the very least I would stay well clear of those blocks, as there’s a risk that you won’t be able to move outside of those three blocks if the plastic segregation remains in place. Working out which tickets listed as fiorent...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

Anyone have any idea where's the best place to park around Hackney Wick? Looking to arrive 10:30 ish and head to Kent after the game. Had a search and couldn't find much.

Re: January transfer window

For all the people suggesting Smolov, here's what Tony Henry has said in the past about signing Russian Players “Only one of the players I brought to Everton didn’t work out, and that was Diniyar Bilyaletdinov. “He had a great first season but Russian players don’t ever settle in England.” Plus he h...

Re: West Ham United v Liverpool match thread

I actually think Fernandes looks better at wing back than centre mid so happy for him to play there. Antonio wouldn't get into the team at the moment anyway and happy for Rice & Kouyate to get a start with Winston in defence. Happy with the team Beavis Danzig put up earlier. Carroll to come on a...

Played 5 offline multiplayer games last night and it was a lot better. Still seems much easier to run through defences though. Have nets been fixed online?

Re: Fifa 18

The game isn’t the main problem imo. People have forgotten how to defend because Fifa 17 did it for you. . Maybe but I was Div 1/2 on seasons in 17 and I'm struggling to get out of 8 in the 18! Goalkeepers are utterly ridiculous on this game, mine seem to get beaten every time - even at the near po...

Re: West Ham Utd v Manchester City: match thread

Ogbonna obviously the weak link in terms of mistakes this half but Noble has been dreadful. Just like last season. Slowing the ball down and passing sideways or backwards constantly.
I also don't think Fernandes should play in the middle. Games seem to pass him by when he's not out wide.

We're going to have to sign another Goalkeeper .
All that means is a few people have bet on Adrian to move to Palace, not that he actually will. I think he'll stay.

That and no defensive discipline. He's all over the place positionally. I like cheik but he's not really pushed on at all since his debut season. If anything he's got worse.
