Did CCM do anything decent?

What is that a trick question? It's CCM. Of course they didn't.

Mrdja on the dance floor nearly beat me single handedly in the final ffs.

That would have been funny if funky hadn't used that joke already.

Just took over Sydney and WTF?!?!?!

Vidaic is on 3.2K per week.

They have 30 players so 5 guys are sitting there doing nothing.

My squad list is:

2 GK

2 CD

2 RD

1 LWB

1 RM

2 LM

15 CM/AMC

5 ST

WTF were Kosmina and Culina doing!?!?!?!?!!?!?!

Time to clear out the squad and start again. Already picked up Mullen and Langerak on free transfers. Just about closed deals on Sterj and Laybutt coming in on a Bosman.

Looks like Ljubo, Covic and Minniecon will be joining next season as well. Starting to put a nice team together.

I think I will look something like this come the first friendly:

GK: Covic
DL: Lowry
DC: Milicevic
DC: Laybutt
DR: Downes
ML: Visconte
MC: Messoudi
MR: Mullen
AM: Sterjovski
ST: Minniecon
ST: Casey

I really need to get some youth in as well.

Things arent all going my way :(

Played against Killie at Rugby Park. 12mins in: Naka gets a straight red. FML. I manage to score however and go in 1-0 at the break. I fail to hold on however and the match ends 1-1.

I then have a game against Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup. Easy match, Macca and Mcgeady grabbing braces in the 4-0 win.

I then play Aberdeen at home, and its YET ANOTHER draw. 1-1 this time. Samaras' goal in the 5th minute not enough.

Scott Brown has been out injured all season so hopefully when he gets back I can get back on track.

Im 6 points from top spot. Drew Hibernian in the 1/4s of the Scottish Cup.

Did you at least go defensive after Naka got sent off against Killie?

Yeh Guest that happened to me when I took them over in a previous game in 2012(?). I had only 9 players registered #-o They didn't even register a goalie so I had to use the fake one. Lucky it wasn't that long till squad registration again.

Woot probally just pulled off the biggest coup in the league.

Sukur in on a free transfer :D

I changed my formation straight away, and then after I got the goal I went defensive. Their goal was BS.

In my SPL experience Jason Culina always does well in Scotland.

That's in 08 ](*,)

Yeah, the third player I signed goes by the name of Sinha. Hasnt been playing too well. Hes been getting a fair bit of a run because Scott Brown is injured. I made a mistake in selling Barry Robson :lol: Shouldnt have done it. I also signed Nathan Delfouneso (sp?) from AV. Scout came back from England and recommended him as the best. Good youth prospect.

Gonna start playing again now

Nathan Delfouneso is a great buy. He always turns out great in the previous games i've played...I'm always jealous because I didn't have him lol

Delfouneso turns out quite well. He'll be great at SPL level.

Got Bored. Started a game with Man City, bought almost the entire Oz NT team, tried buying a lot of A League players all were denied work permits. Put in 100 mil bids for kaka, cronaldo, gerrard, fabregas, no-one liked me.

Then, I gave up

You seem to give up on a lot of your games...:-k

:-$I can't get addicted to it. It's good when we play online due to the actual competition.

I haven't quit Arsenal, still give them a go here and there, Man Utd had a 14-0-0 record and I owned them 3-1, so that was beneficial in me staying on the game.

Bought FM09 today, its taking ages to set up which is annoying me

It can take a while. Out of curiosity...are you on a PC or Mac?

PC

I'm such a dog...I'm now the manager of West Ham :lol: They approached me and tbh I was getting a tad bored with Vitesse. They are currently [size=7]20th[/size] in the premier league yet the assistant believes we should be able to secure a mid table position with ease and is pleased with the amount of depth #-o WTF did Zola do?
3 points of 19th, my main aim is to not get relegated. Only 14 games have been played so it isn't too bad...

Steam is the biggest bastard of computer software EVER.

FM hates me :(

I had Olympiakos at home in the UCL, which I thought was a must win because I want to beat them to 3rd spot because I want to get into the Uefa cup.

I went 1-0 up, then drew it back, I went 2-1 up, they drew it back. FT 2-2. Fail.

I then played Hamilton in the league.

Naka out suspended, Mcdonald Injured, Brown Injured, and then in the opening minutes Mcgeady gets injured. I drew 0-0. Huuge fail.

I was told by a friend that the FM Editor works a treat in those situations. 8-[

Now do you understand what I meant when I said FM can be a bitch imno? :lol:

In this circumstance, I just played Arsenal in my second game and I played very defensively. 'Twas at the Emirates as well. Adebayor scored in the first 5min and I thought we were in for a thrashing. Brian Easton then scored on the half hour with a cracker of a shot and at half time it was 1-1. In the 65th minute Dean Ashton scores a goal to make it 2-1. I seriously thought we were going to win until Carlos Vela scored on the 90th minute #-o
It would of been massive if I got the win, 20th wins against 1st. A draw is still very good though.

Everythings going wonderfully now!

First game back was against Inverness, away from home

Mcdonald scored first for me and I was 1-0 up at HT. Unfortunately, I couldnt hold on and they equalised in the 65th min.

In injury time I hit the crossbar twice. Was very angry. With 94mins down Naylor won the ball, played it across the goal mouth and.... MAAAAACCCCCAAAA!!!!!!! 94TH MINUTE WINNER! 2-1. Was so stoked.
Mcgeady and Caldwell picked up injuries though, which was annoying.

I then had my 3rd UCL match. v Werder Bremen, at home. I really needed to take something from this game, as I want to finish 3rd at least to get into Uefa Cup.

25mins in, Massimo Donati (in for Mcgeady) makes it 1-0 :)
Halftime 1-0. Naka makes it 2-0 on the hour and Im thinking, SURELY I will win now.
They scored on an OG in the 90th, and I won 3-0. Was so stoked.

Then came up against Hibs, at home in the league. Very tight game, only seperated by a stunning Nakamura free kick int he 75th. :) :) :)

Playing Hibs in the cup soon. Im 4th in the league too. 2nd in my UCL group. If I draw in my next game, (Werder, Away), then I stay 2nd, irrespective of the other result. Come on lads!

Everythings NOT going so wonderfully now :P

Played Hibs in the cup, won comortably, 3-1. Macca x2, Mcmanus. All good.

Then played Hearts in the league, away. I lost 4-0. Ven missed 2 sitters, Mcgeady missed 2 sitters, and I missed a host of othr chances. It was horrible. Almost made me restart.

Then had Werder in the UCL. Went behind in the 60th to a 40yard BS goal. They scored in the 92nd too. Was lame. They had 24 shots to 3 though :lol:

Just finished it off with a good win over Motherwell. 2-1. Controlled the game. Mcmanus double, both headers from Naka corners.

Ven is having big trouble scoring. On a massive goal drought. Keeps missing chances. Gonna try and bring in someone new in January to partner Macca

Lol. Hearts. 24 shots to 3? Lol.

Goal droughts are fucking impossible to get rid of once they get started. It won't matter what you do, the game will stop that player from scoring until the game decides. About the only things I've found that can break them "early" is if they are your "big man" on a corner, or if they take pens or FK's. You can drop him to the reserves, watch him score 4, come back and play like shit.
