Batalla De Titanes: Introducing the Super League

As the world anticipates a response to EA $ports recent lockout of all FIFA sanctioned tournaments for the FIFA 14 calender year, we bring you a solution.
Forever we have wondered. Who is truly the better player. SB or JM.

Well...now we will decide.
Introducing
BATALLA DE TITANES: SUPER LEAGUE. Season 1

The Battle of the Titans, (Batalla De Titanes - as it will be known in Spanish) will feature Barcelona and Real Madrid taking on a Super League of 20 star studded teams from across Europe, as agreed upon by both Barcelona and Real Madrid officials (SB and JM).

Both Barcelona and Real Madrid will play every team, including each other, home and away as per a normal league season. But this is where things are different. We are no longer interested in other results. Only the games from Barcelona and Real Madrid. This battle is between the Titans only.

A table will be kept between Barcelona and Real Madrid only and whichever team can score more points at the end of 38 rounds of league football will be crowned Champion - and winner of Batalla De Titanes.

Never has there been a more direct head to head battle for supremacy.
Will it be SB -the self proclaimed chosen one. Or can JM finally show potential does lead to greatness.

But how will the season be monitored you ask. The good old fashioned pen and paper will keep score. It worked for our ancestors and it will work again.
Leave that to the geeks at FPA to worry about.

Once the teams are agreed, an official draw will be conducted prior to kickoff after Christmas.

Start your engines kids.... things are going to get exciting!!
 

How it all went horribly wrong! And where to next...

While this feeling remains so fresh and the pain still stings deep within - we at the FPA felt now was the right time to stand up against the communists at EA $ports and FIFA once and for all.

We were promised so much. A game, which finally appears to live up to the hype. Glorious in all its new shiny appearances. A flowing display for the visual sensors like never seen before. New system. New technology. New possibilities. Fresh starts.
Then it all came crashing down like a house of cards..

For those of you who may live in cave and missed the news overnight....they debut of FIFA 14 on PS$ was a bust. a massive coverup was revealed just minutes before the launch. Well here it is - There will be no League, Cup or Champions League Seasons in FIFA 14 on P$4. Unless there is some sort of divine intervention from above. And by above I do mean those bureaucrats at EA $ports headquarters who have cast this nasty spell in the first place. So, yes, this does seem unlikely.

but despair we might...and move on we will. Like every great civilisation before us we must move forward and not dwell on what we are missing...but what we can still create with the ruin.

Look out for an announcement within the next 24 hours which will give football fans some sort satisfaction this year. That despite the Lockout of all FIFA santioned tournaments we can still find a way to unite, and fight to save our season!

We will not be defeated....pushed back into our old ways of PS3 like little piss ants. We will live on and fight until order is restored. We have been promised tournaments will return by FIFA 2015 at the very latest. Therefore an alternative is a must - and soon it will be delivered. Watch this space.

But first let me ask you this.....are you in?
We are bigger than this organisation which threatens to ruin us.
I need to hear you say it!
Say it. Are you in?!!!!

What We've Learned From PS3 Fifa so far

As we prepare to bid so long and farewell to Playstation 3 - and usher in a completely new era with the Playstation 4 system - what have we learned from the PS3 Fifa so far - this year and past.

SB still more consistent than JM:
Despite all the criticism SB received prior to this season, he has shown he can still play consistent football and win trophies. Something JM has been unable to do all season long. No doubt - one on one - it is still an even bet between the two for Top Dog honours, however when it comes to runs on the board - SB takes the prize. In regards to Clasicos - last season JM and his Real Madrid dominated. Including an 8 nil drubbing over two legs in the Copa Del Rey. Perhaps his proudest moment of all time.
This year, SB was superior in his results. With a new system upon us - it will be whoever can attapt better and more quickly to change that will take early honours.

Does JM have no luck with PS3 Fifa:
With all the bad decisions, penalties, restarts to perfect seasons due to game error updates, seasons being wiped away with saving errors - I could go on and on...but it is becoming clear JM has copped the unlucky end of this game over the years. These unlucky events never seem to affect SB. In fact, it could be said he causes most of them to occur.

JM may never win a Champions League:
As seasons have gone on, and new Fifa's developed, it appears harder and harder to win Europes top prize - the Champions League. The season was a classic opportunity, only to lose in heartbreaking circumstances once again. SB was able to win his one and only Champions League crown in the early years of this competition, when it could be argued that the game was not as tactical - more simple perhaps, easier to win. Now with PS4's Fifa 14 edition - who knows - it might just be impossible.

JM is still a bad sport:
Despite now being a married man and father - it is clear JM still has anger issues and needs to work on his sportsmanship. Despite showing glimpses of improvement - his dark side still comes to play every now and again.

SB is still a cunt:
This is just fact.

SB take sthe crown as best PS3 player:
With the introduction of PS4, the results speak for themselves. SB has won a treble and now a double. JM has a La Liga and Copa Del Rey title to his name. SB should be proud of his achievements - you certainly need alot of luck to win these cups - but you also need a alot of skill and a big heart.

Game is in desperate need of an update:
Now couldn't be better timing for the release of an updated Fifa game and PS system. The world is crying out for it. We had the farce with headers earlier in the year. The penalties fiasco. Player ratings is a shamble. I could go on...

We encourage readers to post anything we may have missed here with this article.
All in all, it has been a fun and exciting ride at times with PS3 - but we can all now look forward to a bright new world.


 

Bad Luck Real...Kings Cup Goes to Barcelona

In what was probably the most dramatic and tense finals in the history of the Copa Del Rey, Barcelona have claimed their 2nd trophy of the season defeating main rivals Real Madrid in a painful penalty shootout.

Despite looking the goods early on, Real Madrid as they have done all season long - failed to close out the game, conceding once again moments before halftime to a rather opportunistic goal from Brazil's Neymar, after earlier taking the lead through a wonderful Ronaldo finish of his own.

From there the game got awefully tense, neither side willing to concede the next goal. And so the dreaded penalties awaited after 120 mins of action packed football. And it was Real who felt the most pressure - unable to convert any of their three opening goal attempts. Barca banged away all three.

The victory gives Barcelona a special Spanish Double, after already clinching the La Liga title 24 hours earlier.

"Congratulations to SB and Barcelona." JM said after the game, bitterly disappointed.
"I believe we deserved better than this result. But its been a cruel season til the end."

Barcelona Boss SB had little to say after the game - instead he chose to just celebrate with his team of Champions long into the night. Congratulations Barcelona.

Copa Del Rey Champions - Barcelona

Barcelona Crowned Champions of Spain

Its the result many had been expecting for weeks now. Newly crowned champions of Spain, Barcelona officially closed out the title race over the weekend in rather dramatic circumstances.

With almost an unassailable lead with 7 games remaining, Barca almost managed to blow the unlosable season - needing a win from their final match of the season to ensure Real Sociadad would finish 2nd on equal points.

For man in charge SB, this is a championship crown which has eluded him for far too long. Not since the glorious treble year has he won a league title.

As for Spanish Rivals Real Madrid, it must be said a terribly disappointing season ended in a 5th position finish. It was clear Real had put all their eggs in the Champions League basket this year and again that failed to pay off.

Barcelona can now rejoice - Champions of Spain once again!
