No-ones game is the same and you have brought/sold players in the last 18 months that would effect the budget.

He was playing just behind the strikers with Hammond sitting in front of the defence (also swapped with Chaplow and Chamberlain throughout). Not a normal central midfield role in a flat midfield. Guly and Lambert can also (and have been) used deeper (although not in a flat four man midfield).

What are the words to the Cortese song? Can't say I've ever heard it from my seat in the Kingsland.

He was terrible. He has also lived in Peterborough for at least the last 9 years...

I agree as well. I hear so many people around me at St Mary's getting upset each home game when Saints pass sideways or backwards. It sometimes is the far better option and retains possession until the team get a good opening to exploit.

It runs in the family. His cousin was on Big Brother a few years ago...

I agree, it is unrealistic. But there isn't really anything I can do in the database to stop it happening.

I think the FM graphics are improving significantly each year. - FM11 was only SI's 3rd year of 3D graphics. - EA Sports has roughly 15 years of 3D development time, a much bigger budget and number of staff working on the graphics engine. FM will never completely close the gap completely and have graphics as good as the contemporary console football games. But we should see marked improvements over the next few years.

Someone has found a player cam in the game code and unlocked it... It is like FIFA from 10 years ago!

How would it be to Saints advantage? From being able to sell him to the highest bidder in a mad scramble, you restrict it to one club. In any case the club don't need to sell him, he is 17 and "could" be a Premier League player with Saints whilst still a teenager.

If he hadn't signed, he wouldn't have been a Saints player beyond the summer. The club had to show ambition and money for signing on fee, wage increase, agent fees etc to keep him at the club rather than moving to a Premier League/Championship club.

Depends on the Championship club in question as there can be huge differences in the amount of exposure different clubs get. For example there is a big difference between sponsoring S****horpe or Newcastle in the Championship.

Saints signed Guly, Chaplow, Lallana, Forte and N'Guessan in January. The former three I'd hardly call "crap", the later two we haven't seen enough of to make a judgement.

They are a global company with over 500 staff in 30 countries. Look at their client list... AT&T IBM BAE Systems CISCO Deutsche Bank HSBC Nokia Orange Sony Hardly small time, just in a industry many would be unaware of those involved.

So they updated the mobile website first, which is why I can't see it. Cheers

At the time I write this, it is not on the Saints OS. Main story at 18:19 is Chamberlain in England under 19's.

Announced where? Not on the Saints OS.

In the last 50 years Saints have a better record than the Terriers. As for your other points... many opposition League One managers have reinforced the view in interview that it is their biggest game playing Saints and you can't argue that Saints don't have large resources.

They use the phrase "reports suggest", thus only regurgitating the rumour from elsewhere.

And you think it wasn't Cortese because...?

Many managers have done in the past about players.

Saints spokesman on Twitter 4 minutes ago... Nigel Adkins puts Howard rumours down to speculation: "often happens when managers are looking at moving on / bringing in players"

He hasn't been picked because he was injured. http://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=147893

He played 43 games and scored 10 league goals in the Championship with Peterborough in the 2009/10 season.

This then...
