I fucking hate those long-range away goals :evil: It's happened TWICE to me.

My CB just scored his 100th goal for the club (cups, league, CL). To equalise against Liverpool, and it was a hand of god. Liverpool players screaming blue murder.

Post match report describes it as "a fine header from point-blank range" :^o :D :D :D

Would you believe it, but Bruce Djite is Liverpools manager.

Some other Australians managing include:
Paddy Kisnobo at Fulham, Steve Old at QPR, Damian Mori at Adelaide City, Bobby Despotovski at Inglewood, Danny Alsop at Dag & Red.

Some Assistant managers include:
Josip Skoko at Adelaide Utd, Ryan McGowarn at Bognor Regis, Chris Coyne at Coventry.

I've decided to try and steal as many Australian coaches as possible, including Timmy, Corica, Emerton, Wilkshire, Burns.

:lol:I'd be fucking filthy if that weren't fm :P

Mark Van Bommel is coaching Sydney FC in mine :lol:

Won the League Cup :D

The entire game, which ended 2-1 in Extra time, there was about 5 seconds where I thought I was actually going to win, and those were the 5 seconds at 121:35 when the players started to walk off the pitch.

Liverpool all over us in the first half, what chances we had were ruined by trying to pass it into the net (which hasn't ever been something I've seen in my team) such as my winger getting a far post cross and instead of shooting he passes it back into the middle and lost it.

First goal finally came for us on 80 minutes, which really should have been disallowed because of a blatant offside, I had about 4 players in front of their last defender including one who received the pass, and you could make an argument that the guy he passed it to was offside as well, followed by a third blatant offside for the player whose shot rebounded for the goal itself.

I always knew Liverpool were going to score anyway, and wasn't surprised when they got a corner 4 minutes after their goal, did the old FM07 (might have been 06), "Lurk Outside Area" trick where their unmarked MC took a bullet shot which miraculously only hit the crossbar, but was cleared then headed back about 6 times before it finally dropped and they scored.

Extra time, did nothing in the first half, had a player injured. I was expecting a 119th minute goal for Liverpool, but their 5-3-2 formation finally did them in, with a break down the right hand side galloping away from their wing back who was out of position, followed by a cross, which narrowly escaped their keeper, and was rammed home on the far post. We survived the last 2 minutes and won the cup :D

Fuckin' Facepalm.

He's been at the club for 6 months. We were just a stopping ground for him on the way to Barcelona apparently. Not my choice, chairman went over my head. Yes the bid is 49m + 10% profit, but come on. This kid wasn't just the future, he was incredible now, let alone after 4 more years of growth. But atleast I'll get all that money to buy a equally good replacement yeah?

Oh wait.

14.5m + 34.5m over 18 months.
IDIOT

Here's hoping the kid tells Barca to get fucked. At least I know that 26m bid wasn't so bad now...

Barca always overpay for their players. Have you tried opening up the transfer offer and rejecting it? Or does that not work on a patched version?

Doesn't work. I'd just signed the kid to a 5 year contract to STOP this kind of thing from happening god damnit.

And now my other Right Back is being a dick cheese and wanting out too. Farks sake.

Something FM maybe could fix up is players loyalty. Like if you brang them out of a shithole of a country and made them a star then the young players should stop saying they want to move to another club because a bigger club declares interest in them. It annoys me so much. The only way you can stop your young players being unsettled and constantly getting bidded for is managing a big club ala Manc, Barca.

HE REJECTED THEM! WHAT A GUN!

Sure its only cause they weren't offering him enough wages, but hey , I'll take what I can get. Now fuck off Barca and leave us be.

They'll be back next transfer window :lol: I hate the way barca are in FM. Way to aggressive in the transfer market. Fuck, they paid 15mil for Lucas in my game once.

They've still got 22 days of this one, I'm expecting them back within a week. Real were looking at him too, so nothing is safe.

Set your asking price to 50mil and reject everything below that.

Yeah and they payed 110mil for Fabregas in my game! 8-[

That's only because their manager in your game is a fucking moron :lol:

Retained the League :D

I'm now a "legend" for the club.

Edited by macktheknife: 16/6/2009 10:50:13 PM

No matter how hard I try, I can never become a club legend :? Atletico, Liverpool, Bristol Rovers...none of them valued my efforts :(

I'm thinking it might be because you are at a club which already has legends.

I only became favoured personnel after I won the league for the first time, and only a legend now after winning the FA Cup, CL, 2 EPL, 2 League Cups, a World Club Challenge a Super Cup and a community shield.

Into the CL final. A nervy 0-0 draw at home for a 2-1 agg win over AC Milan. We play Valencia in the final.

FUCK FUCK FUCKING FUCK FUCK.

My keeper is out for the CL final. Fuck.

:lol: Time to pack ten men behind the ball and hope :lol:

Nah, I think I'll go for the "score one more than they do" school. mon 8-7 win.

My backups are young but competent.

Apart from them I have my entire first choice players available.

Also realised I have another wonderkid. My 3rd choice AMC. Nice.

Against a typical Valencia defence that's entirely probable:P

easeh easeh easeh easeh easeh

3-0.

Winnas.

Treble!

League Cup, Premier League, Champions League :lol:

8 games to go and Fulham are currently 9th. Only 2 points separating to 6th so hoping to end up there abouts. And there is about 8 points to 10th so it's highly unlikely that i will finish lower than where I am.

Anyone else think that this guy is ready to make the step up to full international?
Gianni Mullen
He's 18 but his main stats are very good compared to my other central defenders. Will be a star in the future though, no doubt.

Next time, upload a fucking jpg image, it's a smaller file and won't take so long for me to look at and tell you he's not international standard. Give him another season or so.

It's mac...takes png lol.

save to jpg.

I shouldn't be surprised at how my England World Cup campaign ended.
