I'm here! Not exactly much to comment on, as TheMidfieldGeneral is being as vague as vague can be.

Today's blog from Miles Jacobson...

Arsenal game is on Tuesday, Saints vs Preston is on Wednesday.

That is nonsense really, had Saints been playing a Premier League game yesterday the price would have been higher and you would have circa 30k there.

22k is still a very good attendance in the Championship! Plus not many Birmingham fans turned up which doesn't help. In the Premier League this weekend it saw attendances like... Fulham vs Man City 24,750 Blackburn Arsenal 22,637 Bolton vs Norwich 21,223 Swansea West Brom 20,341 Wolves vs QPR 24,189 22,155 for Saints vs Birmingham in the league below is nothing to be ashamed of. Nor is... 24,784 vs Forest in the 2nd tier 23,333 vs Millwall in the 2nd tier 25,860 vs Leeds in the 2nd tier

They didn't in the last round, Phil Brown called it the "battle of the squads" with him making 8 changes from their last League One game and Charlton making 11 changes. He will probably do the same against us. He hints heavily here that he will do the same on Wednesday... http://www.pnefc.net/articles/20110918/brentford-reaction-phil-brown_2264038_2455269/0,,10362~2455269~1,00.html Are they? They are 6th, won their last six games in all competitions and are only 4 points behind top spot with a game in hand. He is cup tied.

Saints under 18's beat Birmingham City 5-0 today in the Academy Premier League. Jake Sinclair with a hat-trick.

Pompey fans at Hull today - best supporters in the land (apparently)

I prefer a boxed copy myself, but for those that want it cheaper this gives you it for under twenty quid, which isn't bad. Football Manager 2012 available to pre-order as a digital download version for just £19.85... http://www.shopto.net/DOWNLOAD/VIDEO%20GAMES/DWNLD27600-Football%20Manager%202012.html

It was on their website before this thread was started. It is also probably where Talksport got the story from.

A mention of it... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3817254/Pards-Rick-will-be-Andy.html

No he isn't, he is back in full training.

Miles Jacobson's blog on transfers and contracts in FM12...

What makes you think they are working harder to get stories now that the club doesn't give them interviews? It is easier to sit in the Echo offices and watch Saints Player or listen to BBC Radio Solent then it is to drive to Staplewood or St Mary's and do the interview yourself.

The Echo haven't had direct official quotes from the club or its players for a few years now. Any quotes they do use have just been lifted from elsewhere, normally the Saints Player/BBC Radio Solent interviews.

I'm not allowed to say anything that hasn't already been announced in public by SEGA/SI. Everything I link to on this forum is already available, I'm just doing so to inform those here that may not see it otherwise. Hardly "propagating false myths", especially when you have no idea how much I know or don't know about the game.

Hooiveld translates into English as Hayfield.

It isn't, it is a 3pm kick off on Sunday.

As I said earlier... In FM11 as a League One player Lallana has a CA of 120. That puts him above many Championship players in the same position. In fact a CA of 120 in FM11 (version 11.3) would rank Lallana the joint 4th best attacking left sided player in the Championship in 2010/11.

Here is some more info on tactics in FM12...
