Going to start a new save, starting at Celtic. I'm getting a tad bored of my QPR save, so I'm putting that on hold.

Signed Tales. Tried to sign Wellington but he had permit issues. Tales scored just then :) 1-1 draw with ICT.

2 points behind Hearts, 4 points behind Rangers. Just beat Rangers 2-0 in the Semifinal of the Scottish League Cup. Ven and DELFOUNESO! lol.

Wellingtons permit came through after I appealed :) Win.

Ok as I have stated before I need some back up in CM/DM. I should get about at least 20 mil to spend in the off season and I plan to purchase Marquinhos with some of it and Lass Diarra is tempting but Hitzleperger has an expiring contract, he isnt great but would be quality back up for my United team and without a cost but Im really unsure of whether or not I should sign him. Adriano is also available and wanting to leave Inter but I cant guarantee him regular football so I dont think I will go for him

EDIT Just got smashed 5-1 by Liverpool, I dont like my chances of making ECC next season as Im in 6th with City 8 points ahead in 4th in early Feb. I rebounded though by beating Villa 3-0 in the FA Cup goals to Keirrison, Tevez and Veloso

Adriano is a good option to buy to sell. You can pick him up for <5m and sell him on for 10m+ if you're clever.
Diarra is a far better option to Hitzlsperger, both are quality, but Diarra is far superior and will be playing in your team for years to come.

Beat Livingstone in the Round of 16 in the Scottish League Cup. Tales, Wellington and Sheridan the scorers.

I fucking drew Rangers in the quarters. Oh well, I beat them 2-0 in the SC, I can do it again.
In fact, I play Rangers in a few days, in the League. VERRRRY important match. Good thing I have a full squad.

I did one of these a while ago, but I'm starting a new with. I'm using Man City. Basically my goal is to buy stupid players for too much money, putting everyone on huge contracts, and seeing how long I can basically fuck the club up before they sack me.

Are we doing the FM thing tomorrow night? I can get out of training so maybe we could start a 'lil earlier?

A lot earlier.

Currently in my 2nd season with Blackburn. Coming 6th, 5 points ahead of a struggling Liverpool (what a suprise). Milevskyi is fantastic for me, 27 goals all up for the season but I'm resigned to losing at the end of the season. David Dunn has suprised me and is averaging over 7, he has been inspirational especially against the Big 4.

I brought in Elano from Man City to help in the midfield and my first signing from the previous season, Leo (look him up, plays for Gremio, fantastic buy) is great. He has picked up Samba's and Warnock's game with his talent.

Just looked him up marconi (there's about 4 leo's btw ;)). He's currently playing for Barcelona lol. Looks like you got a great buy.


Started of well with Inter. Had a solid pre season but lost 2-1 to Real Madrid in the Euro Super Cup. Didn't really care tbh. Won all of our games against Vicenza, Livorno and Roma and a 2-0 win over Anderlecht in the Uefa Cup. Some performances have not been the best but we manage to get results and Aguero isn't playing very well.
My aim is to also not restart any games, no matter what! :)

Just PUMPED Rangers 3-0. At home. Emerson, Naka and Ven. Have Benfica in the Uefa Cup now. First leg is away.

Just beat Benfica 2-0 in the Away leg. Macca x2. Boruc was a freaking hero. Hes such a gun. Saved like 5 huge chances.

Lost our first game to Sampdoria 3-2 and then a shitty 1-1 draw with Torino. Decided to revert to a simpler formation in 442 and it paid dividends as we demoloished Fimleikafelag Hafnarfjardar(:lol:) 5-0 in Euro Cup away.
3/4 of my central defenders are 34>> #-o Need to get a mid 20's defender in January.

Beat Motherwell 4-1. Macca scored a hattrick against his old club. Have the home leg v Benfica coming up. Surely I cant bomb 2 goal advantage. The thing Im worried about, is if I score, they still only need 3 to win it on away goals.

Watch out mate. The AI treat second legs like a second half and they will be really fired up.

Shit. Yeah, Im definitely not taking it lightly. And Im not going to sit back, that just invites trouble

We drew 2-2 :) Naka FK of course, and Macca.
Hertha knocked out Spurs so I play them next round.

:lol: Ac Milan beat Anderlecht in the first leg, 3-0. In the 2nd leg, Anderlecht won 4-0 :lol: :lol:

Round of 16 fixtures are:

Anderlecht v Besiktas
Celtic v Hertha
Dinamo Kiev v Feyenoord
Galatasaray v Ajax
HSV v PSG
Spartak Moscow v Sevilla
Valencia v Aston Villa.

The good thing is, I should beat most teams on that list. :) I want to beat Hertha and make it to the quarters. Will be very happy with that.

Followed up with a completely dominant 2-0 win over St. Mirren. Tales and Ven. 29 shots to 2. 5 clear cut chances. lol.

Followed up with yet another confident 2-0 win over Killie. Mcmanus and Mcgeady.

Soudns good. Say, 8pm start? I can't do much earlier than that.

imno - it's all well and good to tell us about your games, but do it month-by-month instead of game by game.

Yeah 8pm sounds good to me also - Talk to you all then...

Yeh 8pm sounds alright.

Telstra is in for yet another rage session today, I may be on, but im not getting my hopes up.

Avy misses out on yet another session :cry:

My new signing Federico Laurito is going great guns. Signed him from Roma at the beginning of the season for AUD82mil. It was worth it. He has scored 12 goals in 15 and he's only 22. Very young compared to the rest of my players. Nearly all of my first teamers are around the 30's. I'm going to try and sign Marek Hamsik in the next transfer window...He want's to leave Napoli so I'll be in with a good shot. Signing a pacey defender as well because all of my CD's are slow and old.

Finished playing through preseason with Leeds and have started the season. Won all my preseason games other then my 2nd last against Blackburn which we lost 2-1. Won our first 3 league games and smashed Port Vale 3-0 in the league cup, which ive drawn Sunderland in the next round.

Laurito is an excellent player. Signed him for Barca in my other game and he is brilliant, formed a great partnership with Bojan and Tevez.

I had an offer for Marquinhos accepted, cant remember how much it will cost but I think its about 20 in installments. However he has had two requests for a wp turned down, I appealed and then switched it off so I don't know the result of that. Still struggling for form in the EPL, have conceded so many late equalizers that its depressing but I have veeb drawn against City/Spurs for the FA Cup Semi's and Werder in the quarter finals of the ECC

Was lacking a bit in the striking department so i traded Matt Misford with Rui Marques, he was a strong player but i had 3 players just as good and years younger and Coventry had made many offers so i ended up giving in. Lost against Hartlepool 4-2 in JPT. They were up 4-0 until my boys finally switched on, at the 87th minute and got 2 quick goals

My Inter story:

Figo retired, Beckham replaced him, Adriano fined for no training and sold off before he could say 'im a tool'.

Shit season, then picked up well reaching a height of 4th, slipped to 8th.

Knocked out of UCL in group stage, Italian cup quarters.

Now seeking employment.

:-"

After the two easy 2-0 wins in the league, I had Rangers in the Scottish Cup Quarter, I lost 2-0. Wasteful finishing let me down.

Followed this up with a good 2-0 win over Hertha in the first leg of our Uefa Cup tie. Mcmanus and Mosquera.

Then had Aberdeen in the League Cup final. Went up on 65mins through Emerson. They drew level with a freak goal on 82mins. It went to ET. Won a free kick 30 yards out. Nakamura was off :(. Mcgeady stepped up: GOOOAL. FT 2-1 :)

Then had the 2nd leg v Hertha. Went up 1-0 early, and withstood an epic barrage, before conceeding in the 88th. Caldwell then stepped up to rocket home a FK on 90mins. 4-1 on aggregate :)

I drew Ajax in the quarters. And I will play the winner of Valencia v Anderlecht in the semis if I make it. Fixtures are:

HSV/PSG v Dinamo Kiev

Sevilla v Atleti Madrid/Stuttgart

Anderlecht v Valencia

Celtic v Ajax

A question that I have still not found the answer to. When should should you tackle hard on a player? I only do it when my assistant says to or if the player is in bad condition.

I'd only really use heavy tackling higher up the pitch, if you trust your midfield and strikers not to go too hard they get yellows. From defensive midfield to defenders I'd stay on medium.
