Na only you dey talk sense.

is this an open admission YOU are not "talking sense"?

kosovo:
@Bawss1, did you take crack? i am not your usual dumb! fanboy you find everywhere, this is owing to the fact that i have played all console humanity can make . . . and my 11 years of active gaming journalism was not streamlined to one platform alone, that would be moronic if you ask me . . . It would not go down well, that the ICON of gaming in Africa is a fanboy ?? OMG , save it . . . Thanks

i need one more goal. . .

Bloody hell, Chamakh + Arshavin on

I will slap AW if JET doesnt play this game

Hardballer:
lol who are u calling gullibe    fifa is better period. i actually liked pes 2008 the fact that you clould run from one end to the field to another and score and the sophisticated ai that actually let you do tht was enticing . however pes 09 was wack . stop being a fan boy and accept the truth[b] it was hard for me too but youll pull through [/b]

hehehe, person die?

all the so-called hardcore PES fans who "saw the light" in Fifa were simply not as good as they thought they were.

no PES grand-master would abandon it for Fifa. . . the little(yet massive) things that make PES great are conspicuously absent in Fifa.

this matter has been flogged beyond death. . . let's just have fun playing the games.

Half Time.

Wilshere has been very impressive.

that tackle was shocking. . . Gibbs was clearly onside.

in other news, Hleb has scored his first goal for Birmingham

Spurs are being played off the fukcing park. . .

goalllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!! ;d ;d

How the hell is that not a penalty?

Arsenal Bench:

1 Manuel Almunia (G)
22 Gaël Clichy(D)

10 Robbie Keane(F)

Let the battering begin

Monsieur Wenger & Mr Rice should have named Sczceny on the bench! How can such a talented be excluded from a carling cup match

i'm perplexed!!

SPUDS                                      ARSENAL

37 Stipe Pletikosa (G)         (G) Lukasz Fabianski 21

Wenger has named a surprisingly stronger line-up than expected. I was looking forward to seeing JET start this game. . .

The good news is the Spuds are toast!

Mobinga:
Has anyone played the game yet?

Finished the campaign yesterday. . . it is EPIC!

and now the real fun begins. . . i'm sure you're aware where that lies!

Mobinga:
u need to watch d trailers. . . gameplays etc

This isnt about trailers, Fifa will forever be crap(compared to PES) until EA come up with a new engine that can rival the freedom and precision Konami have given gamers in PES. It's a shame to see their license waste, while Konami still have to call Chelsea "West London Blue"

Hardballer:
u also need to play the demos pes fell off in 09

actually they "fell off" in 2007(PES 2008), unfortunately EA have only been able to capitalize commercially but still churn out crappy gameplay and entice gullible gamers with licensed kits, stadiums, controling goal celebrations and other stuff that belong in the shadow of how good the gameplay actually is.

kashmo:
Duh! I'm a Pes addict, man! However, since the last two series they issued out, I was convinced and finally gave in to EA Sport( Fifa10). . . .

I bought Pes2010 and played it just ONCE before shoving it to the corner That game was a waste of money

this is EA's juju talking!

Why else would you play a game just once and write it off?

Like i've said before, FIFA has no depth. . . it can literally be mastered within a month. PES takes YEARS to truly master.


I refuse to join the "FIFA is now better than PES" band-wagon. I'll be the first to tell you PES has been more than a bit disappointing this generation, but that doesnt automatically make FIFA better than it.

I find it incredible that people have concluded the current FIFA games, which still play a lot like the older ones(which were universally certified crap),  are better than the current PES games, which are also very similar to the older ones(which were universally certified genius).

If you take a minute to actually think about it, you'd realize how ridiculous it is. . .

HNIC:
To football matters now!
Which do you guys prefer?
1.) A fairly strong team against the spuds and risking another injured player to add to the already crowded list

OR

2.) The reserve team and risking getting a whopping at Shyte hart lane while keeping players fresh for the league.

I will choose number 2.
I still don't give a hoot about the Milk Cup!

Arry is claiming he'll field his youngsters as well, along with the likes of Pavlyuchenko, Kranjcar, etc. . . whatever team Arsene puts out should be good enough to beat them, whether they actually do is a different matter.

Vela owes me a hat-trick!

Brazilian midfielder Sandro is set to make his Tottenham debut in their Carling Cup third-round tie against Arsenal.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp will make widespread changes with Younes Kaboul out with a hamstring injury and Vedran Corluka with a back problem.

Rafael van der Vaart has a slight groin strain and William Gallas suffered cramps against Wolves. Gareth Bale will be rested.

Players likely to start for Spurs include Giovani Dos Santos, Niko Kranjcar, Kyle Naughton, Stipe Pletikosa, Jake Livermore and Steven Caulker.

Harry Redknapp is ready to give Tottenham's fans a glimpse of a Brazilian future when he sends out a team full of youngsters.

The Tottenham boss will hand Brazil's 21-year-old Sandro Ranieri his debut in midfield as he seeks to protect his big-name players.

With a Premier League encounter against West Ham on Saturday followed by midweek action in the Champions League, Redknapp insists he cannot play his full-strength side in a competition Tottenham won in 2008.

Redknapp said: "I can't kill off Gareth Bale. He had two games for his country, then ran a million miles in Germany (against Werder Bremen) down that left flank. He's still a boy. He's running on empty. I've got to protect him a bit.

"We've got lots of players who need to play who haven't featured recently. They are good quality players who need games under their belt and some of the players need a rest.

"I can't keep using the same players. I am going to protect some of them. There will be lots of changes. Arsene Wenger's done it over the years and played the youngsters even in cup semi-finals. You've got to do what's right for the team.''

Wenger will again rotate his Arsenal squad.

Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, Johan Djourou, Emmanuel Eboue and Kieran Gibbs are all set to feature having been unused substitutes at Sunderland, but youngsters Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Benik Afobe, Chuks Aneke and Henri Lansbury are also likely to be involved.

Midfielder Alex Song will serve his one-match suspension following his red card on Saturday, but the Gunners do not yet know how long captain Cesc Fabregas will be out for with a hamstring problem.

Whatever side Wenger picks, though, it will be one he is confident will be up for the challenge.

"This game comes between two Champions League matches, so there will be a lot of demands on your energy and competitiveness,'' he said.

"However, we will stick with our policy - that means the first target is to qualify, we will have a team which will have a good chance to qualify, the second is to give games to those who need them and the third is to see if we can use some of our young players.'

ESPN

EA have cast a spell on gamers/reviewers. . . how anyone(who knows his football) would say Fifa is better than PES beats my imagination.

That is the equivalent of saying Ratchet & Clank is better than Mario. . . SACRILEGE!

Check Out The Line At This PlayStation Move Midnight Launch Just before midnight at my local GameStop, one eager Move purchaser stood in line, stepping away to snap this photograph before continuing his devoted vigil.

No be u be A-11(the team currently 1st from bottom)?

mukina2:
Hell's kitchen

Yaya heard me and performed well

the week i decide to put the basterd on the bench he decides to score

Ibime:
If Kalou plays half the season like Bendtner, he'll cop 20, and he's not even a striker, more like Arshavin position.

Ibime trying to weasel his way out as usual

Manure and Arsenal will kill to have a substitute who guarantees 12-15 goals per season.

Is Bentdner a substitute, YES or NO?

Does Bendtner "guarantee" 12-15 goals a season, YES or NO?

Ibime:
Which headstart? I started on -8 pts and you started on -4pts, yet I still finished 5 points ahead. Otu nne gi.

Another one bites the dust. MEND FC remains the only unbeaten team in the H2H. The only nigga I fear is Kokomaster who I face next week.

I started playing before i even knew the rules. . . by the time i got up to speed with the game your team was already worth like 2 million quid more than mine, HEADSTART!

if you are up for a real game, hit me up on XBL/PSN and i'll hand your a$$ to you on a plate.

Ibime:
@ Nateevs,

Manure and Arsenal will kill to have a substitute who guarantees 12-15 goals per season. Those are brilliant percentages which could mean the difference between the title and trophylessness.

Bendtner says hi!

Still 4-0?

nateevs:
Bellamy has left.  

SILVA HAS ARRIVED!!!

This should end 7 or 8 nil.

Man City awaits!!!

Ibime:
Ritchboy is an embarassment to his sponsors.

BTW, why did I not keep Berbatov. I tipped him to have a great season but transferred him out couple weeks ago.

You only won by a few points even with ur head start. Wakawiki FC remains the best team Nairaland can boast of

why you no join UCL Fantasy make i teach you lesson?

i fear for Liverpool's season. . .

game over

Did Fenibeso persuade Fergie to start Evans ahead of Rio?

Can O'shea bag a brace?
