Real Life FIFA 17/18 Thread

I know of at least a couple of other people here that are thrilled the new football season has started, so it gave me the idea to begin a fanboy thread. BTW, that's real football, not throwball. Only rule is: subtle banter is ok, mean banter is not.

Thought it would be fun to start a discussion by asking a few questions:
1. Favorite side: The Arsenal (see the shirt in my avi?)
2. Favorite manager: Arsene Wenger
3. Favorite player: Santi Cazorla (we're both 5'6)

4. Second favorite side: Aston Villa

...

Feel free to add to the list.

    Arsenal and Arsene for me too.  Hm, I don't know about the other two questions....would have to think on them a bit.

      Gooners! In case you didn't know, the web site I administer (and sometimes write for) is Daily Cannon, which is why I slip in and out of real English every once in a while.

       

      I tend to be a team-person to the point that I think fantasy games put too much emphasis on individuals. That's a bad thing in football, because 11 players have to communicate and be perfectly in synch as one for any system to work.

       

      I single out Santi only because he's better than he thinks he is, extremely talented, always motoring, doesn't spout off and is always happy: The perfect team player. I also sympathise because he's height-challenged. lol
