Played Adelaide United in the CWC.

52 shots on goal to 0. 70% possession. The score? You guessed it, 1-1.

Yeah, Galekovic scored a 10.0 :lol:

Woohoo my DM at the third attempt managed to get rid of his long-shot PPM \:d/

Jesus fuck afro

So Community Shield. Went up 1-0, lost my CB to a red card, held out 92 minutes, match went to penalties. Subbed on my good penalty takers for the crap ones, went and watch a youtube video to let it play out.

Come back after 5 minutes, shootout is still going. They missed the first, we missed third, they missed last, we missed last. Next three both sides score. Then their right back missed. So I watched my left back have his shot saved when it would've won the match, followed by their right back blazing it high and wide, and now my keeper is stepping up to try and score the winner.

And he misses.

So now their keeper is up.

And my keeper saves it.

So now we're back to my first choice taker to win.

Done. We win.

That's pretty harsh :lol:

Well shit, I definitely should have sold that AML.

1st league game, does his ACL. Out 8 months. He'll be worthless by the time he comes back.

With regard to getting players to tune up their international teammates to come and play for me at club level, I should get someone with good influence to do that, right?

Is that in FM13? I've never used an option like that.

Haven't played FM in ages, hanging for the new patch. Looks like it will be coming out next week which is alright.

Yeah, it's in the player conversations in FM13.

Every time they've patched it this year they've ended up creating more bugs than they've fixed.

<3 Falcao, Llorente and El Shaarawy

Falcao - 13 games, 9 goals, 3 assists, avg rating 7.62
Llorente - 32 games, 30 goals, 7 assists, avg rating 7.77
El Shaarawy - 29 games, 12 goals, 9 assists, avg rating 7.36

Is that with 13? You spent that much money on Falcao and only played him for 13 games? :lol:

:lol: Only got him in January, it's now March.

So Suarez came to me complaining that he wasn't getting enough football, the last time I played him he scored 6.5, 6.1, 6.2 so I dropped him. I told him his form wasn't good enough, he chucked a spaz. Sold him to Bayern for 12.25m and picked up Giuseppe Rossi on a free transfer.

Now I just have to find a destination for Pepe Reina.

Had to play our first league cup match 2 days after we played Chelsea in the league, how the fuck does that happen? Played my second tier squad.

We had:
21 shots to 7
7 on target to 4
71% possession to 29%

Drew 1-1 in regulation, lost 4-1 on penalties.

I hate it when that happens. It needs to be mandated that there's a 3 day break between games.

Why are French youth players consistently more valuable than other nations?

Sick to fucking death of injuries. My young striker just had his arm broken in a training session. Out 6 weeks to go along with the defensive midfielders who still have 2 weeks left, the right winger that has another week left and central midfielder also with a week to go, not to mention the left winger's ACL injury.

And we lost our 2nd choice ST to a torn hamstring 5 minutes into our next match. ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

My gun Brazilian striker has ripped it up at the start of this season, 11 goals from the first 13 games. Gets snubbed by the NT for my other Brazilian striker that has 3 goals from 9 games...

I always have a chuckle at things like this. Especially when the media cries foul over a player you've left out and you're like "he's scored once in nineteen games!"

How's this for a weak WC group: Russia, Belarus, Qatar, Peru.

That's as good as Germany's Euro 2016 group of Hungary, Poland and Slovenia.

My star striker is Franco Di Santo :lol:

My central defence at Wigan is fucking solid. Caldwell and Ramis are a brick wall, too bad my full backs constantly let me down. So frustrating, wingers just jog past them and knock in those quick crosses.

Use a deeper, narrower defence?

Keeper I bought in on a free had a moan about first team action, then a whine about not being able to settle in, I sent him for a leave of abscene, news item said he'll be fine.... but the issue never left and he came back a day later to do it all over again. Whatever, said fine, leave, transfer listed by request saving me a loyalty bonus, sold him to Barca for 23 million. Minus his 5% on sale fee plus whatever sign on bonuses I'd paid out (couldn't be that much, his wage was only 2 million a year) that's a fair profit.

Fucking hell, DoF's are a pain in the arse. I have one to offload my players n shit...but then he goes and does this moronic fucking move:
I accept an offer of 7.5m for Reina from Sevilla, he comes back and demands 57k/week from Liverpool to move...He's only on fucking 55k/week as it is! It's costing me MORE to get rid of him than it would have cost to have him rot on my bench. Are you fucking kidding me?!

Have had a ridiculous back half of the season. Was 13 points behind Juve, now level on 82 pts with 3 games left, although they have a game in hand. Now have a 20 pt lead on 3rd place :lol:

Did you find that you had peculiar board expectations in your contract when you were managing in Serie A?

Also, has anyone had to deal with the "must sign players from the chairman's home country" requisite?

Juve drew their game in hand with Genoa so they're now 1 pt ahead with 3 games left and we play eachother next.

After that I play Napoli(5th) and Parma(7th) to finish the season. While Juve have Torino(3rd) and Sassuolo(16th). Just need to beat them and then match their results in the last 2 games.
