Have an awful feeling we are going to ruin our title shot.

Have been first almost all season, just drew with leeds, then what looked like a smash and grab win turned into another draw against newcastle, with their 91st minute equaliser being a miskicked cross going into the top far corner.

Hopefully City and Arsenal keep screwing up, they keep swapping 2nd and 3rd when one loses, the other draws or vice versa. 9 games left, only a point clear, GD of about +6 better than Arsenal.

Have only lost 3 games (5 less than Arsenal), but have drawn 10 matches, which is the 4th highest amount in the league itself.

Ended up finishing first so we got promoted to the German 1st Div. Final three spots were all seperated by goal difference - lucky me I had roughly a 25+ goal difference compared to the next closest 15+ roughly. Now its time to add some depth players and try and find a ready made out and out star, pretty tough going at the moment as I do not want to bring in too many players and disrupt the core squad. I think we may struggle this season and will be lucky to stay up but if I choose the right tactics for the games and dont conced too many we may have a chance.

Really?? I can't believe I've never come across it before or heard about it.

Mack - did you end up getting yrou 65mi?? That's pound right?

I have no idea what I'm up to at the moment, don't have that game open, I've been working on FFT FC and I don't want to give anything away.

Yeah, Pounds, but no, they declined (probably shouldn't have made it non-negotiable).

He's just broken his leg 5 games before the end of the season, so I don't think he's going anywhere in the transfer window.

Every team is doing it's worse to lose the title race. I've drawn about 4 games out of 5, Bolton and Arsenal and City all keep losing or drawing.

2 games left, 2.5 points ahead, next match against Bolton in 3rd.

2.5 points ahead?

better GD. I don't think it will come into play.

Great. My keepers just got a 6 week injury.

lost to bolton. great. on top pretty much the entire season, lose the 2nd last game and drop to 2nd.

I started a game with Millwall, and also applied for Cook Islands job and got it.

Brought in Robbie Fowler for cheap - goals galore. And got in Darren Gibson from Man U on a loan for the season.

Im 6 games into it, undefeated so far with 5 wins and 1 draw against Cardiff.

Nice avy, LOL COOK ISLANDS JOB!

cook islands aye:d

Run in went:

Bolton loss in the 2nd last game dropped us from 1st to 2nd for the first time since round 9, strikers had a 16 and 10 hour goal drought just in time to ruin the season.

Could end 3rd if Arsenals last game of the season (postponed due to Champions League final) is a win for them.

Entire season pretty much down the drain in 2 matches.

Won't have to qualify for the CL Group stage.
Will probably have a new stadium being built.
Will need a new striker. (If I can actually afford one, will be expected to pay 5x a players value to sign them).

Wow you screwed up mack lol. TBH if that was happening to me i would of probably not saved and tried again lol. Good on you for not doing that. I used to do it heaps though but hardly ever now.

:lol: Cook Islands was there on offer, it was them Bahrain or Iran. I thought I'd give it a go knowing there wouldnt be too much expectation for them.

True...I guess maybe a win would be a massive achievement :lol:

Ha yeah, I arranged a friendly against Australia, if I can get within 3 goals I'll be happy.

:lol: Australia is gun in FM. When i took over they were 20th in the world. We got up to about 14th at one stage and stayed there for about 4 moths.

Believe me I was tempted. Especially after the 3-1 loss to Bolton which pretty cost us the title.

On the plus side.

New.Fucking.Stadium.

FC United Stadium will cost 100 million (with 75 million interest on the loan), with a 15 year stadium sponsorship at 3.27 million per season (so basically puts the price back down to 125 million all up).

Finished on the 23rd of June 2032 (a year and one month pretty much).

Undersoil Heating. Capacity of 47,563.

Fuck.Yeah.

Weren't you like 11'000 before this? A jump of about 35k is massive!

20k. I'd used an editor to put the ground up to 19k then 20k after getting sick of not getting a new stadium, and after we finished 4th last season, we sold 15k season tickets and sold the place out every week.

Nice.

Still don't know how to make FM not take up the full screen, I.E. making the userbar visible.

tick window mode in the preferences?

Go to 'Options', 'Preferences', 'Display and Sound', 'Display Mode' and click the option you want...That's what it is on mac but i'm assuming it's the same...

English Football Association have offered you the opportunity to replace Stuart Pearce as England Manager.

The job offer has been accepted.

Fuck. You.

There isn't one.

Windowed is shaded out for some reason.

Hmmm...That's a toughie...I got's no ideas lol. Wait till Afro comes on...he might know.

Anyone who wants to see how close the table is in the EPL:

I could Potentially finish 7th but also potentially 14th...I've got Newcastle at home which i hopefully can get a draw and then a win against Crystal Palace away. I'm hoping for around 10th.
Also anyone had a goal scored against them or scored for you where one player basically goes to the edge of the 18 yard box, either on the right or left, and basically driblles through players to the byline then cuts in and dribbles past a few more before squeezing the ball through the near post? I hate it when it happens to you but love it when you do it...Always seems to happen and you can just tell when it's going to lol

Hehe yeah its almost like - cr@p here it comes....

marconi try this it worked for me.

Chairman just kicked in 41 million to the club. It says it's a loan, but nothing on the finances screen shows it as a loan.

Just lost my first match, Away to Reading in the first round of the league cup.
