Added the Isthmian League using the editor so I could play as Sutton United, pretty shit though cos the chairman expects nothing less than for me to win the league this season I'll almost definitely get sacked if I don't and when I offer a player a new contract they're always demanding way more than I can afford.

Just one the French League cup for the third season in a row with Lille. Smashed Stade Rennais 5-0 with Per Mertesaker scoring all 5 goals having not scored in the almost 2 and a half seasons he has been in my team.

Had an average first season in the EPL with QPR. Scraped survival by the skin of our goal difference, and didn't really make any impact in the cups. Board was happy enough though, and we've had a much better start to this season, Won 3 of our first 5, including a come from behind win over Everton at Goodison, and a 1-0 home win over arch rivals Chelsea.

Also took Portugal to the WC, and ended up playing well. Beat USA (2-1) and France (1-0) in the group stage, and finished first in the group. Copped Spain straight up, but held them off and then capitalised on a mistake to win 1-0. Then had to face Argentina and lost 3-2, after coming from behind twice. One of their goals was a dodgy penalty, and the winner came in the 91st minute, and was apparently a hand ball from a corner. Was heartbroken. Definitely got the goods to win things with this Portuguese squad, so I'm sticking around till next WC at least.

That's crazy right there. Did you change your corner tactic or something?

The best I've got out of a CB was 8 from Chiellini and 6 from Kjaer in a season. Was fair stoked with that though.

I changed from a two centre backs with 2 wingbacks to a central back three but I don't see how it could have started the scoring spree.

Finished the 3rd season with Lille winning the league for the third time. We got knocked out in an epic champions league semifinal against Tottenham. 1st leg home was ended 4-3 in Tottenham after we came back from 2-0 down to be drawing 3-3 only for Bale to score in the 90+4th minute. In the second leg away we lead 3-0 at half time but lost my midfield, Cabaye and Hazard to injury, and got run down for a final score of 3-2 and lost on away goals.
I took the job as Ivory Coast manager halfway through the season and we have won all 3 games in our third round of qualifying group matches so far against Senegal, Cameroon and Benin.
Koln offered me managership of there team which I took having won everything in France. Lille were quite livid about it though and I am no longer listed as club legend.

Over 3 seasons at Celtic, my Centreback Pairing of Dejan Lovren and Spira scored a ton of goals.

2013/14: Lovren(11), Spira(5)
2014/15: Spira(10), Lovren(6)
2015/16: Spira(10), Lovren(2)

All pretty much from corners.

FTR, the amount of time added on was 5 minutes. I'll be honest, I actually missed Balotelli's goal too, I was too busy screaming into a pillow after their equaliser.

Anyway, had a pretty epic turn around in fortunes with QPR. Spent even more in the opening transfer window, started off with a fantastic come from behind win at Goodison Park, and just kept going from there. Halfway through the season we were fighting for first place, but Man City took off, and we ended up 3rd, only missing out on 2nd by 2 goals. Means we go straight into the ECL group stage too. Going to get slaughtered:lol:. Spent just over 80m in the two seasons so far, and I've got about 60m to play with this season. It's fantastic being rich.

Has anyone started a game not using real players? I was thinking of giving it a try but was not sure if it would be worth it

It uses real players, just not real names. So you're sitting there looking at it trying to work out who's who, like you do with the German national team. It's a good way to go about it if you want to test your scouting knowledge and put more emphasis on the pre-game reports.

The complete fucking lack of full-backs at Australia's disposal in 2014 does my head in. Josh Rose is the one and only option and he's 32 #-o

Australia's inadequacies wide are fucking killing me. It's Troisi...Rose...and that's it.

I finally won my first Champions League. I beat Inter 3-1 in the final. I ended up slightly changing my formation, and instead of having 3 up front, I took one off, added an attacking midfielder and changed up the other midfielders responsibilities.

I missed out on winning 3 EPL titles in a row though, but did manage to pick up the FA Cup as well.
I'm currently beating Sau Paulo 1-0 in the WCC final. After this season, I'm thinking of stepping aside as Boro manager (after a good 23 seasons) and taking control of an international side until after the next major tournament. After that, I will try and turn another pissy side into a dynasty.

Not bad Pimpsta.

Just out of interest what's everyone else's biggest win?

Mine was beating Rayo something or rather from 3rd or 4th division Spain in a pre season friendly 15-0 with Atletico Madrid in FM10
