1) Patch is now out on Steam and will automatically update if you installed the game with Steam. 2) If you don't have Steam download from here... http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/257508-Football-Manager-2011-January-Update-and-11.3-Patch-OUT-NOW-on-STEAM! (includes changelist) or here... http://www.footballmanager.com/patches 11.3 is savegame compatible, however for best results you should start a new game. Also delete your cache.

Yes, you can move you season ticket for individual games. I've done it a number of times, just go to the ticket office and they will print off two new tickets when you buy your niece one. They will ask to hold onto your season ticket until after the game.

Why are Plymouth or Torquay any less on the "South Coast" (as the opening post asks) than Brighton or Southampton?

As mental as your geographical skills! Which "all four" are you talking about? Brighton, Plymouth, Exeter(not really on the coast tbh), Southampton, Torquay, Portsmouth or Bournemouth?

Thread title needs a change as it is misleading.

Yes, Saints might be in League One, but you will struggle to find many Saints fans or people in football that would play Puncheon ahead of Lallana or Chamberlain. Puncheon didn't want to sit on the bench in League One whilst Chamberlain played and he good enough for Blackpool and Millwall, hence he went out on loan. Lallana and Chamberlain would walk into the Blackpool squad. Puncheon just happens to be 3rd choice because he isn't as good as those two.

Pretty sure there is a "late gate". Even has a sign above it saying "late gate". Or have I just imagined such a thing?

Ex Saints, Crainey and Omerod are also in the match 18. Puncheon starts tonight against Chelsea. Yet at Saints he would be 3rd choice behind Lallana and Chamberlain. Shows how good Adam and Alex are!

The Football League doesn't have billion pound contracts of national and international TV money like the Premier League, nor is it a bank with large cash reserves. - League One clubs get a few hundred thousand pounds in TV money and solidarity payments each year. - Plymouth have £13 million worth of debt and a cash flow which can't support them until the end of the season and beyond. It is the PFA and not the Football League that has been loaning the club money. If the Football League help Argyle when they didn't help anyone else, there would be (quite rightly) uproar on a huge scale amongst its 72 members.

Not in a million years will the Football League "bale them out". How exactly would they do that without upsetting every other member? Also how could the league buy and fund a club? They require an investor in the next few weeks or they will go bust.

- Shea was recalled by Arsenal because of an injury to another keeper. - Forecast's loan at Eastbourne finished. - Bialkowski has started jogging again and should be back in full training relatively soon.

From Miles Jacobson...

Yeovil manager thinks it is very unlikely Paul Wotton will be fit for Tuesday. He went off injured today after 5 minutes.

Would you prefer this as a bench? 12 Cousins, 03 Beevers, 05 Baldwin, 14 Bond, 17 Perkins, 07 Vincent, 18 Gillespie

I know you are joking. But Lallana, Chamberlain and N'Guessan are all more than capable of playing upfront in League One if Lambert or Barnard need to come off.

No it doesn't. You can still shuffle the team round to have lots of striking options. If Saints signed more players in January the squad would be massively bloated and no player would have signed as they wouldn't think they would get games.

That doesn't mean he isn't now a midfielder. He has also been training with the first team for a long time now.

Reeves is now a midfielder. Butterfield and Dickson have both been midfielders in numerous games in their careers. As for striking options, Lallana, Chamberlain and N'Guessan can all play up front.

What assets? - They don't own a training ground. They are training at a local university. - The stadium was remortgaged and then eventually sold to HPPL in April 2010. Newport and Maidstone also didn't have £13m worth of debt.

Well Ferguson, Comoli, Wenger, Pearce and Brooking think otherwise... And they all know more about spotting young football talent than any of us!

You say "every", but it would actually be more accurate to say "most", as a number of clubs have been liquidated. It is entirely possible Plymouth could be liquidated if no adequate buyer is found and they have severe cash flow issues which makes the length of time they can remain in admin very limited.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1362860/AC-Milan-eyeing-Southamptons-Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain.html I doubt this is true, but if it is, Saints should take action against Arsenal for tapping him up. Interesting no Daily Mail "journalist" (in its loosest sense) puts his name to the article, nor do they give sources. No doubt the Daily Echo will run with this story as they do with other unsubstantiated national rumours about Saints...

Teams have bid already for Chamberlain and they were turned down.

Well "if" in January 2012 Saints are in the Championship and towards the top of it, I think you will see the same happen.
