managerial merry-go-round... happened a while ago but none of them are paying off at the minute... ferguson got the sack last season, anchelotti went north to United, replaced by Mancini, Aguirre taking over at City... meanwhile Guardiolia moves on to Spanish national team, Wenger to Barca and Grant somehow to Arsenal

United in the shit (7th) midway through the season and Anchelotti under pressure, Mancini at Chelsea are doing worse in 9th and practically every game the reports say if he loses their next game he'll get the sack... so what do you do when Spurs play Chelsea in January... mouth off about Mancini every day in the lead up, unsettle half the squad, make transfer offers to key players so they either bitch that that the club won't let them leave or just walk away, followed by a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge... followed by another week of taunting

Cannot get into any game I try. I play a few months and then get bored. Grr.

Gen Y...

I want to start a new game but know I shouldn't, with uni and all. I'll wait till I get a few weeks off and then buy FM11 and smash it 24/7 for a few weeks...

:( Just realised i won't be able to smash FM as much as i usually do because i got Uni in 2 weeks tomorrow

Take your lappy to uni. That's what I started doing. Problem solved.

Yeah i can do that and have done that... but like i have to do other stuff occasionally... like uni work and stuff
I smashed it bad in first semester and my marks went down, i got bored of my old FM in 2nd Semester and my marks went up, or maybe i was just taking better photos and had better ideas... either way more time on fm is less time thinking of new concepts and new ideas... although i think i've found a new idea after reading this article http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/14/james-hart-davis-mi6-artist

I started doing that.

I worked out a formula. As time spent on FM increases, uni marks decrease :P

I wanna do a PhD in Football Manager... whats a good fancy title to have FM as your PhD?

Get the fuck in there... probably my best ever performance with spurs

I love those performances in big games where just everything clicks.

not everything... gave up my clean sheet streak which i wasn't overly happy about losing and i reminded them about it ;)

playing FM and watching The Damned United at the same time... fun fun

IN my second season with Liverpool. I made way too many changes to the squad in the first season and there was no harmony between the players on the pitch and ended up a disappointing 8th but still managed nor to get sacked. Bolton somehow ended up winning the league.

Dunno, but I'm thinking of putting Football Manager on my CV.

Just went on an epic 17 game winning streak taking me to the top of the table at christmas. Dzeko and Suarez just ripping it up both with 15 goals. Have scored at least 3 goals in a match for the last like 8 matches.

Have I ever mention how much I love last minute goals?

ECL - Round of 16
Celtic 1-0 Bayern Munich @ Celtic Park
James Colquhoun 90+3'

Bayern Munich 2-1 Celtic @ Allianz-Arena
Holger Badstuber 5'
Bastian Schweinsteiger 43'

David Bentley 89'
\:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/

My next big thing

:lol: I'd love to know if that got you hired anywhere.

New Graeme Souness there, funky?

I hate the final series now. Finished top by 10 points again. Qu Bo got 23 goals this year, and missed 5 weeks with Injury, Beat Sydney in the Major semi on away goals. ACL starts, have 3 days between a match v Saitama UTD and the GF back on the coast, beat Saitama 2-0 then lost the GF 3-0 to Sydney, all my players were fucked, all 3 goals came in the final 15 mins.

In the ACL, won 4, Drew 1, lost 1 in a group with Saitama UTD(aka Uruwa), Ulsan and Beijing. have a team from Yokohama in the second round. Im confident i can win this.

Seriously, anyone managing in the A-League, try and get your hands on Qu Bo, absolute superstar. I bought him from Seoul FC for 400k, slow start, but has got 19 goals last season and 23 this season. Beastly!

Now hows this for a defence:


For the whole season, including ECL, we conceded just 26 goals in 54 games. 36 clean sheets.

defence is pretty solid but c'mon you should be hitting 100 in Scotland ;)

:lol: it's something to do with my tactics. We just can't finish. This season:
921 Shots
316 Shots on Target
114 Goals

Can only hope the 2 lost matches were against Gers :lol:

Good record though =d>

Killie and Hearts actually :oops:

fuck... Arsenal in the Champions League Quarters, my fans won't accept anything but a win against them and it's such a crucial part of the season a loss could really derail me, i've got the North London Derby next in the league followed by Villa at home and then Fulham away, then away at the emirates, then city at home (city coming 2nd, behind me by 4pts) then @WHL to Arsenal then Man City again in the FA Cup Semi's... really difficult to get the treble

Decided to leave Celtic after 5 seasons. Done about all I can here, time to move on and try something new. The SPL does get boring after a while.

"The Celtic Board have today confirmed that Pim Verbeek has been appointed as new Celtic Manager"

I feel horrible, I'm tempted to re-load the save and stick around for another season just to stop that from happening.

Hmm, is Celtic a good game Funky? Might give them a go, never tried playing in Scotland before...
