I was thinking about this earlier, I'm not sure where Chelsea could lose. They don't seem to be slipping up against the smaller teams and their tactics are too good for the top teams.
If Chelsea did go unbeaten (I don't think they will) I'd agree with your top five but not sure about the order. It's very difficult, all would have had great achievements. I think really it boils down to the question of:
Which is more impressive, winning the Champions League or going a whole league season unbeaten? I think I'd have to say going unbeaten. Some not so awesome teams have won the CL over the years while only two teams ever have completed the latter.

Good effort, shame we couldn't get anything. At least Berahino scored. He could be big, that kid.

I used to be in the same boat as a lot of you guys. Thought there wasn't much action and there was a lot of standing around going on between plays. But I gave it a chance and over the course of a few years it has surpassed "soccer" for me. I reluctantly use the word soccer because it's just easier to say that than football, which can confuse American people. Yeah but this is the UK board so you might as well use football for football and 'NFL' (since none of the other American football leagues matter) for the other type of 'football'. Weather rarely has an impact on football. When was the last PL game postponed due to snow? 2010? And if anything, rain often improves football games as the ball moves across the pitch more quickly. Stoke and Newcastle wasn't a great game but they're not top teams in the PL compared to Green Bay and Minnesota in the NFL who are two of the biggest teams. 42-10 doesn't sound that exciting, at least in terms of competitiveness, sounds one sided iyam. You can think about the tactics of the game while the ball is being passed around or is out of play, instead of tons of advertisements and analysis while you're trying to immerse yourself in the game. As for NFL being more tactical, I can't agree with that. I'm not saying it's not tactical but football is 90% tactics. You can't just throw good players out there and expect the team to do well - that's been proven numerous times over the years. You have to be tactically aware because even the smallest teams can catch you out. I'd rather see Barcelona pass the ball around forty times and see a fantastic goal build up rather than watch a player taking a drink on the sidelines or an advert for prescription drugs. Thinking about what you're going to do while you're doing it is also much more difficult than taking a break and coming up with different plays. Teams' tactics and approaches change as a game progresses unlike in the NFL where you try one play, it either works or doesn't, then you come up with another play and so on.

No, although tbf I haven't watched loads.
I did watch most of the Superb Owl a couple of years back and while it wasn't terrible or anything, it was just "meh". Too many stoppages. 7 seconds of action (where everything just looks like a blur to me because they're all running at the same time) and then a pause. Another few seconds of action, then another pause. Then some analysis, then adverts, then back to 7 seconds of action.
The whole process is so tedious.
EDIT: Only read the first line of your post Mike before writing my own, didn't realise we wrote practically the same thing.

On NXT a thing came on the screen that said they'll announce the launch date ON the 1st of November...I thought it was supposed to be before then? No, it was announced on Raw last week they would announce a new date on 1st November. Pretty sh*tty.

Didn't watch the episode yet, just want to point out that Bob's Burgers is better than both shows have been for the past several years. It's ok. But the best Bob's Burgers episode is no where near as good as the Simpsons worst. Okay....but no. But okay.

Well desperate times call for desperate measures. The defending is such bollocks that I had to adopt a whole new method to playing online. I was struggling badly yesterday so I decided to be Chelsea, play 5 at the back and play on the counter attack.
Needless to say, my defense (and win record) has improved tremendously. I went from the abysmal (even by my standards) record of 4(W)-2(D)-11(L) to 10-4-13.

I'm in the same boat. For getting the most money, Ebay is probably your best bet. CeX's prices aren't that bad either.
For convenience (especially if you have a lot), Music Magpie. Not the best prices but they courier.

Was sick of playing Real Madrid every game online so I started choosing mid-table teams so it'd be two mediocre teams playing, and there would be variety.
I pick Sunderland, get matched up with....Liverpool. It's like EA are trying to piss me off on purpose.

Yeah I have to agree with you guys, the defending on this game is non-existant. You can't even win the ball from slide tackles half the time, it either ends up a foul or the player who did the slide doesn't even retain possession. It literally gave me a headache earlier from how easy it is to score. Some c*nt online would just give the ball to Messi, who would then dribble past all my defenders who seemingly couldn't get anywhere near him.
I've actually had no problems with the servers since my earlier post.

So why don't you just order a hamburger without mustard and ketchup? You can do that? Sure. The employee could look a bit miffed but they'll do it.

I've never eaten any type of sandwich at McDonalds, why? Because I just don't like the taste of lettuce, a patty, some mustard, and ketchup together. I usually eat burgers with bread, patty, and another piece of bread. So why don't you just order a hamburger without mustard and ketchup?

1. Only had a Big Mac once, about four years ago. Didn't like it at all. Too much bread and lettuce, not enough meat.
2. Anytime I see fast food discussed on forums I always see Americans basically saying it gives them diarrhoea. Don't know why, I've never heard this from anyone else other than Americans. What the hell are they putting in the food over there?

Got an Xbox One last week in preparation. Pre-ordered Fifa from Amazon since you get free coins + historic kits, hopefully it actually gets here on the release date (bad experience before). I'm not big on UT or Career tbh, but I'll give them another crack as I always do. Will mostly be playing other c*nts online. I paid for first class delivery for FIFA 13 and it arrived a day late. Contacted them and they refunded the postage plus knocked a fiver off the game price. They now do free first class delivery and send out the first class packages a day earlier so you should be fine. What happened to you happened to me but with WWE 12. I ended up getting the game free But I'm glad they've rectified that now, cheers for letting us know.
