What gig?

Arsenal have a higher rating for them than us.

The demo is out next week, you can play that until you get your copy.

You should have received a code and instructions from whichever retailer you ordered it with, if you order it on Steam it would download automatically when Steam is running.

You are running the risk of her declaring you "spoilt". http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8614833.stm

If you pre-ordered the game from certain retailers you should now be able to play the beta version until the release date.

Fonte and Yoshida are both 6 foot 2, hardly "midgets". Andy Carroll is only 1 inch taller than both of them at 6 foot 3.

If pledges are to fund future running costs, they will be in admin again soon as they have no long term finance. People won't meet the pledges and even if they do, what happens once it runs out?

T'was two months before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Up woke PST members to ask their wives. For £900 on fear of their lives.

Unlike the FIFA World Cup or UEFA Euros there is no big money to be made from hosting the Rugby World Cup, certainly not enough to warrant expanding stadiums at huge cost. The last Rugby World Cup in 2011 had group games at stadiums with capacities as low as between 15,000 to 20,000, so St Mary's at 32,000 is fine for Rugby World Cup group games.

If they joined at 17 and didn't play any academy games, then I'd agree they aren't academy products. But Best, Blackstock and Stephens all played a season for a Southampton academy team. Yes, they didn't join aged 7 or 8 and train with the academy for 10 years like some do, but they still had at least a year in our academy. That makes them academy products imo.

Nathan Dyer often overlooked by Saints fans, but was a regular in a team that finished mid table in the Premier League last season. Why are you discounting them? They all played at least one season for Southampton's under 18's.

What a bizarre thread! Adam Lallana is the Premier League's joint top assist maker along with Juan Mata and Eden Hazard. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/9981006.Lallana_up_there_with_Premier_League_s_best/

The datalock was 24 hours after the revelations of the BVI loan. The pre-order beta is available very soon and the free demo a week later so you can see for yourself. The revelations of the new debt came the day before datalock. I couldn't include it as we have no idea of the size of the loan or the length of the loan. If it is revealed between now and the January update datalock then I can include it then. The Pompey researcher is baying for the loans inclusion, but we can't just make it up without knowing anything about it. I'm more than happy to include it in the next update, but can only do so if we know its details. I haven't a clue and don't care. Play the free demo in a couple of weeks time and decide for yourself. What is in it for me?

What were these questions exactly? I've never put anyone on this forum on ignore. Let alone you.

Tokyo-Saint, I haven't purchased Football Manager since 2006, I get a free copy from SEGA every year so have had no need to look for the best price.

Why does it mean they are doing something wrong in training?

From what I remember of it, there was a player unmarked in the middle of the goal because the centre backs were out of position. A player unmarked directly infront of goal is more of a threat than one on the far post. You can't blame Shaw for it, he did the right thing by reducing the main threat and is not his fault the player on the back post wasn't picked up.
