FM07 can be predictable at times. You can always tell when you're giving a giving a heroic performance away from home you're going to get sunk with a last minute goal. Or if you watch the key highlights and you see one of your players get booked it's a fairly safe bet that as soon as they take the free kick he;ll chop someone down and get a second yellow about thirty seconds later. My only real grumble with it is the massive gulf in difficulty between playing at home and playing away. Sure it's gotta be a little bit tougher not having your fans there etc. but it's fucking almost impossible to get a result away from home if you're a mid table team. Even if you're playing as Chelsea it can be a struggle getting 3 points at somewhere like Bolton or Fulham.
Plus, it's virtually impossible to get the ball off that cunt Colin Samuell.
I think I'll download the 6 month demo of FM08 and see how I get on with it. I'm not sure I'll enjoy it so much if it's all tactics, tactics, tactics - I tend to find tactics at the start of the season that work best with the players i have in my squad then not tinker with them to much if it's working. Plus if you change formations you inevitably get slagged off in the press for trying a "previously untested formation".
