The lack of Saints player photos is down to the club not sending them to SEGA. This years squad photo was taken much later than normal, due to all the changes in the summer. Hopefully this will be included in any update patch.

I'm still trying to find good ones. Get the vanilla one for now

There are still loads of features SI want to include so don't worry. The 3D graphics I predict will also improve alot from year to year from now on. FM10 and future FM's I think will benefit massively from the changes to the way they are tested. The game is alot more "polished" this year and from the months I have been playing it over the summer, has far fewer bugs than ever before.

Every player no matter how rubbish like Mr Pulis is, has friends in the squad. They will soon get over it though

The data for the Glenn Hoddle academy came direct from the academy itself... http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/blogs/football-manager-2010/Football-Manager-2010-new-features-blog-Day-29-Introducing-our-best-signing-yet-Glenn-Hoddle-article187503.html

I knew you always wanted that

Have you got the vanilla or strawberry demo?

I asked you an important question to find out the answer... Have you got the Vanilla demo or Strawberry demo?

Have you got the Vanilla or Strawberry version?

What are your views on the Saints data?

Fiorentina want rid of him and the fee is undisclosed so its hard to tell. Doubt they'd want much for him and we will have already paid a loan fee for the season not included in the 500k which would take the total paid close to £1m which seems realistic.

Yes Have done for months

Strawberry version is out now, I'm just trying to find the best link to it and will post it in the opening post.

PC DEMO = http://www.fileplay.net/file/6432/football-manager-2010-gold-demo-pc MAC DEMO = http://www.fileplay.net/file/6433/football-manager-2010-gold-demo-mac Quickstarts for the following countries: Brazil, Denmark, England, France, Italy, Northern Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and Wales Language packs: Danish, Dutch, English, French, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish Full assets: including player pictures, club logos, competition logos, etc for where we have the license. Full pitch textures, stadiums and sounds.

There will be two versions. 1) A "vanilla demo" which will be much smaller in size and have a small database from a few league and have no club logos, kits etc. 2) A "strawberry demo" which will be around 1MB and have lots of the images, player photo, kits, comp logos etc with a quickstart database. Both have quickstart databases which will mean that they are basically the same savegame each time you start a demo game (eg manager shortlist etc will be the same). They have all the features of the full game but are restricted to half a season. You can also continue your demo savegame into the full game. However as the database is restricted it would probably be better to start again with the full game.

Football Manager 2010 has the real fixture lists licensed for these leagues. So if you manage Southampton your first league game will be against Millwall at St. Mary's. Leagues that SEGA have brought the rights to the fixture lists are... English Championship English League One English League Two Blue Square North Blue Square South Blue Square Premier SPL MLS Portuguese First Division K-League Welsh Premier League French First Division For all other league you can now use the editor to create real life fixture lists yourself or download the ones other people have created for the Premiership etc. Oh...and the demo is out very soon

We don't need to be in the play offs after 24 games. We need to be in the play offs after 46 games.

You clearly have no idea if you think it is an achievement for this squad to stay up. We have the biggest wage bill in the league and have spent 5 times more than any other team this summer. Have the 3rd highest average attendance. Basically we should be still aiming for a play off spot. Our squad is in the top 3 if not the best in the league and should be getting around 90 points (or 80 including the points deduction).

Only briefly and came back.

Poor Alan all alone watching the game

Hasn't been confirmed yet, but I reckon by the end of the week. Perhaps earlier than Friday but just a personal guess.

System specs for FM10 are the same as FM09's... PC OS - Windows XP/Vista/Windows7 Processor - XP - 1.4ghz or faster Vista/W7 - 2.0hgz or faster Memory - XP-512MB Ram, Vista/W7 - 1GB Ram Video Card - 128MB minimum. Nvidia FX 5900 Ultra or greater; ATI Radeon 9800 or greater; Intel 82915G/82910GL or greater. Earlier cards may only display 2D Match Viewer Mode and are not supported. Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported. Mac Intel Processor, OS X 10.5, NVidia Geforce 7300 GT / ATI X1600 Radeon Please note, if you system doesn't meet the requirements, the game may work, but SEGA do not offer support on these machines. Best bet is to try the demo if you fall into that category.

Our squad is far too bloated atm as Pardew rightly states. Loaning out players to whichever clubs want them is the only way you can do things until January so deals like this make sense. Gillett if he stayed wouldn't get much in the way of football and will demotivate him more. It would be very hard to have good training sessions with over 30 senior players so the numbers have to drop asap.

MK Dons on loan for a month. His brother also plays for them.

This could go on forever
