League Game – Newcastle H

Line Up - David De Gea, Rafael, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidić, Patrice Evra, Antonio Valencia, Tom Cleverley, Anderson, Ashley Young, Javier Hernández, Wayne Rooney
Subs Used – Chris Smalling, Ryan Giggs, Danny Welbeck

I had by biggest win and also a United and Premership record victory. 11-0. Valencia scored two quick early goals before a Vidić scored from a corner, Steve Harper then scored an own goal. So that is 4-0 after 30 minutes. Another headed goal from a corner from Vidić and one from Jones made it 6-0 at half time. After the half time interval Hernández made it 7-0. Jones then scored from another corner and after that Rooney produced a bit of magic to make it 9-0. Jones then scored his 3rd goal with a bullet header and then on the 72 minutes Valencia completed his hat trick as well. So 11 goals in 72 minutes.

Haha, the eternal duel.

I would rate Ronaldo's performance better in rough numbers alone, but somehow Messi comes up with a slightly better Avg. Rating. Oh well, guess even in FM they are quite close!

It just amazes me that even in FM how close the pair are.
