I've found Australia seems to have a limited name set for some reason. There's not much variety outside the 'ethnic' combos the game will often bring up.

Yeah, lots of McGowans, McDonalds and Culina's.

If you struggled with Celtic, you're only going to find Bundesliga even more difficult. If you want a B2 team, St Pauli are the only real option.

Just won the League Cup with Blackpool for the second year running.

In the Europa League quarters, against Schalke - playing either Chelsea or Bordeaux in the semi, so probably no more progress in Europe for me.

Also, I'm having huge issues with squad disharmony and a lot of my players having 'Has lost confidence in his managers ability' as a concern. I'm underpeforming in the EPL- sitting in 14th, when I've finished 6th the previous two years. What are some key things I should be looking out for to prevent this, and how can I fix it?

Restarted my FM 08 save with Liverpool. Coming 3rd midway through February. Signed Quaresma for 13.5 million, he's been solid early. Desperately need to clear out the deadwood. Tried to get rid of Kuyt, Voronin, Benayoun and Crouch, only got rid of Crouch. Unfortunatly, Mascherano rejected a new deal, meaning he's a free agent in the summer. With Sissoko, Lucas and Alonso dominating (when fit), I tried to move him on, but no club would bite. Will be looking at a new forward and CAM in the offseason.

Be more aggressive in your press conferences, be more positive and let your assistant take the team talks.

Decided to go back to my favourite Arsenal save. Into 2017. On the verge of my 4th title with Arsenal. Going to do a complete overhaul of the squad in the summer. Getting rid of a lot of the 30+ players and a fair few 29yr olds to make room for the quality regens I've found.

It's march 2013, 25 games played and my team has conceded just 8 goals. I think they may be suffering from overconfidence though, we just got held to a 0-0 draw at home by Willem II.

I'm sure your computer will be fine, XP, Vista, 7 will be more then enough. Depending on your computers performance in-game it will be scaled to what is best for your system.

Won the league cup with wimbledon beating 3 premier league teams in a row (Wolves, Everton, Tottenham) with a 120th minute goal against wolves, 80th minute goal against Everton and winning 8-7 on penalties in the final!

Does this give me a Europa league qualifier spot?

thanks in advanced

It has a few bugs but should be playable.

Into the UCL semis and draw Lyon. Win the home leg 3-0, feeling pretty good, but really need an early away goal.

Of course FM then proceeds to fuck me in the ass repeatedly and I lose 4-0. Dishing up a Lyon team which are obviously on some kind of performance enhancing drugs, especially compared to the hobos that played in the first match.

So far this season I've had job offers from Juventus, Bayern, Man City, Everton and none of them want to wait until the end of the season for me to take over. Pissing me off. I've got a job to finish at Twente, damnit!

Lyon are a beast at home, sydcro.

So I finished the season with Blackpool, my 4th year with the club. Finished 13th in the EPL, but won the League Cup for the second year in a row. I also won the Europa League- Don't ask me how :p.

In the EPL Wrap, my signing of Connor Wickham for 2.3m was 'best signing'. Just sold him in the pre-season window for 11m :d

Coming in to the new season, my players are getting picked off and because the club has so much debt, I am only recieving 25% of transfer revenue. Tough roads ahead.
