Thanks. My shiiite computer: 1 and a half for comp performance and speed.

Mine sometimes changes. Sometimes it is 3 stars and sometimes it is 1 star. I never have many leagues running so the game speed is usually pretty good

I get 5 stars for performance, when I loaded up the 21 leagues for the Twente challenge I got 4.5 stars for speed.

I get 5 star performance, usually get down to 3.5 stars with the leagues I usually play with.

That's pretty sweet. Your computer is a beast for gaming though huh?

I usualyl have FM open all the time anyway so it's no big deal if it takes a while to tick over, I just tab away and go back to it.

I just checked and I had 3 stars for the FC Twente challenge, I usually load up the Croatian, Ukraine, Danish and Swiss league as well though, so that slows it down a little bit to two stars.

Yep.

Crysis 2 coming out tomorrow.

Will be playing it on max graphics. \:d/ \:d/

I usually have like 1 or half a star :lol: But I have no problems with running it, it's fine.

I had Inter come in for a 10.25 upfront deal in January, but it fell through cuz they can only sign 2 non-EU players in a season of some BS like that. So devastating. Got 7.5 for him though.

I'm with Afro, Janko was pretty solid for me this season. Parker was my useless player.

Getting pretty busy in the pre-season transfer market now, looking to sign some solid players. Just sealed John Mensah on loan, good boost to the backs.

He's bagged a few for me, not a lot, my left winger - Monterrubio (5) - has been my topscorer. Perplexing for my strikers Janko and Ruiz who have 4 and De Jong with 3. At least we're sharing the load.

Drew 2-2 away to Leverkusen, so won 4-2 on aggregate. Top of the league by 13 points still, and just had an 18 game unbeaten run come to an end with a 2-1 loss away to Spartak... I had more shots, 59% possession and 2 CCCs to 1 but just had no luck. Still feel I can win at home and progress to the quarters.

I'm getting mauled in my ECL group. I lost to United 2-1 away, 1-0 to Lyon at home and drew 0-0 with Panathinaikos. A win ag home against Pana should be enough to get through to the Europa League.

Nantwich - League Two 2019/2020
Media Prediction - 13th out of 24.
Actual Position - 2nd.

A much better season. We stayed 2nd or 3rd for pretty much the entire season. We went up to 2nd from 3rd for the last time with 12 matches to play. We didn't really have a chance of catching up to 1st.

The end of the season was quite poor, a lot of 1-0 wins, dour performances. It was annoying to me, because we'd win, but play crap, and nothing I did took us back to play better. We limped home, with the other teams falling over themselves more than anything we did. MK Dons were in 3rd for the final part of the season, and they really missed their chances.

We beat them 1-0, then in the next game had a counter-attacking 3-0 win vs 20th place and fighting for survival Tranmere to secure promotion.

In the cups we slogged through the entire Johnstone Paint Trophy draw, only to lose 1-2 to the League One winning Southhampton, in another of those mediocre performances. That competition just doesn't end. We lost 4-1 to Lincoln in the first round of the League Cup after I played a youth team. The FA Cup was horrible, a 1st round exit to Blue Square Premier Fleetwood Town.

Another 2nd year promotion. This version of the challenge is going a lot better than previous ones.

Financially, our wage budget is killing us.

Our board has just cancelled plans for the Youth Academy.

They have just announced plans for a new stadium:



I partly happy. We really need a new stadium. This stadium, assuming we're still in the Championship, will be the smallest even including Scunthorpe, and excluding them, will be the smallest by 10,000 seats. At least the bank loan is only 35k a month, which is pretty small compared to our wages.

I'm looking to offload a couple of our players, but not too many, and it won't make that big a dent in our wages. I also definitely need another left back and perhaps an new Keeper. Our current two have been with us all the way from the Blue Square Premier, and whilst their vital stats are great, we can possibly get one on another level for the Championship.

I just had four goals ruled out incorrectly in the gone game. Seething.

:lol: just beat Bayern 3-0 in my first UCL game all 3 goals coming in the first 13 mins.

Beat Spartak 1-0 at home so won on away goals. :) Drew Bordeaux in the quarter final.

8 games left in the league, 13 points clear in the league .

News items that come up when I load up again:

1.7 million over 2 years for my first choice AML.

Gimme the cash.

Also offered out one of my AMR's on a free transfer (to get rid of his 275k per year wages), he's had an offer so hopefully he'll leave.

Nantwich Chairman looking to stand aside.

A 'local businessman' could be in line to take over.

Interesting times ahead.

Easy Swiss Cup run into the quarters versing all non-league teams :)

I'm getting really pissed off at Janko's poor decision making and inability to hit the target.

Will play some soon. Seem to keep making excuses not to play it.

My AMC is 'alienated' because I won't let him move.

That's a new one. Never had a player complain of being 'alienated' before.

I just imagined all the players being infected by the alien and having aliens burst out their chests :lol:

13 shots to 2, and 65% possession in the first leg v Bordeaux. Ended 0-0. Need a score draw away from home now.

Just beat Ajax 1-0 at home. The title race is ON bitches!!! Courtesy of an own goal but a win is a win. 6th consecutive win and I'm on top of the table by two points, but Ajax have a game in hand.

Finished the second season in 4th. We faded badly after I sold Leckie and Ruiz. Wijnaldum and Weiss just could not provide the goals that the other two created and scored.
After two years with Twente apparently I have done well. I one of the media favourites for the positions at Porto, Barcelona, Sunderland, Seville, Lokomotiv Moscow, PSV, AZ, and Bayern Munich.

Lead at the top of the table is out to 5 points after a come from behind 2-1 win against PSV away. Excellent outcome, even though Ajax have two games in hand. I think perhaps Janko is more effective as a super-sub?

Have now been offered the jobs at Sunderland Porto and AZ. Declined AZ but I am still undecided about the other two they sure do have nice budgets, might weight and see if Barcelona come calling.

Really exploiting the friendlies this season. I fucking need the money though lol.

I setup away friendlies with teams who'll give me 170k to 180k per match.

Then I play my youth team so I don't wear out my first team.

I managed to setup three 'leagues' at home. Although the Everton/Tottenham/some other club got cancelled, I still got the Arsenal/Chelsea/Liverpool/Us one, and that made us 1.5 million dollars.

I've got another 10 more of these 170k friendlies to come, against Belconnen, Bonnyrigg, Olympic, Salisbury, Marconi etc lol.

Local Businessman Nigel Bond looking to takeover the club.

Bond is believed to be willing to wipe out the club's debts should be become Chairman.

Transfer embargo. Not that it matters. I can't afford any at all.

aww, they lifted it a day later, apparently the talks fell apart.

Personally, I'd take the Sunderland job.

I got offered the Villarreal job, declined in order to continue my quest for Dutch silverware.

Played second round of Dutch Cup vs Noordwijk, won 2-0. Win! :p
