So lads, what do you think the chances are for us to break onto CL place?

Spoiler

I might as well forget our break back in the day

Someone needs to give Moyes some money. What he achieves with the funds, team, injuries he has to deal with is excellent.

I haven't owned an FM since 2009...

$10, for virtually 100+ hours of saving and replying matches until desired result achieved.

I'm sold.

I disapprove of these actions.

FM once made me punch my monitor. Had a fist imprint on the screen for ages, luckily it faded.

I don't play as much now, I'm a MUCH less angry person since haha

Good but thin squad, good manager but no funds.

You guys are part of the hopeful three of Everton, Fulham and Aston Villa who have a distant chance of nicking a play off spot. I think its unlikely for any of us next year though given the new money and signings made by the investment teams above us. Our only real hope is that Tottenham, Liverpool or (slim chance but...) Arsenal collapse.

Below us I think we will see Blackburn and Newcastle come at the top ten spots pretty hard maybe knocking one of us down a peg or few.

For Aston Villa I would be delighted with a Europa League spot. Unless we do something dramatic this summer I think we have more downside than upside from our last seasons final position.

Well that long term injury to my star player WAS a fluke so it shouldnt really have counted anyway...

I broke a keyboard when I lost a FM save...

A mate of mine conceded a last minute goal in the CL final and lost 3-4 after being 3-0 up. He calmly unplugged his keyboard, went outside and started smacking it against his shed wall :lol

The glorious day when my Palermo team did a liverpool and changed a 3-0 to a 3-3 and won on penalties against Man utd in the CL finale was so great that the two dudes next to me in class (hey it was a english lecture which was boring) were cheering. It was a big day for me and then I got sacked the next season. Fucking Zamparini.

The amount of times I have wanted to do that is insane.

I was one holding a full mug (only water in it) and scored a last minute winner in CL semi-final, I was so happy I threw my arms up in the air and the mug went half way across the room and all the water with it.

Edit. Opps 2 posts in a row, my bad.

Also, Rummeniegge on Boateng-Man City topic:

I get that Bayern doesn't want to get screwed over by City but they should get their priorities right. They paid €15 mio+ for Gustavo who they didn't really need and are willing to buy Vidal now, although they have all these defensive midfielders. But they still don't want to buy a proper centre-back for a higher price and they need one badly. Why would City sell Boateng for cheap after they just paid €12 mio last season and he has a long contract? Stop complaining and look for other options or put in a proper offer (at least the 12 mio City paid).

I'm sure they'll get him, though, but I know this will go on the whole summer and I'm tired of it already...

 

[Lightning]

Haha, that is brilliant.

The more I hear that guy speak the more respect I get for Bayern Munich.


I am just so depressed at the prospect that Fabregas is most likely going to leave us.

Literally just lost one. The game froze in the middle of a save.
I don't quite have the heart to go start from scratch.

Oh, FM-rage, how I've come to embrace you. Nothing quite like losing 1-0 after out-shooting the opposition by 20 or so shots.

That's really too bad, their loss.

I might now that I've actually gotten into it and sorta like it since I got a handle on my tactics. Not sure who to play as. Might go in La Liga.

When playing on a network on FM, do you play with your built team or do you have to choose from a preset

 

[Vivalaraza]

Have you not accepted it by now? It's been on the cards for almost 2 years now and just more and more inevitable. When we lost Ronaldo I had already come to terms with it long before it happened. The way Liverpool lost Torres must have really hurt, at such short notice..

 

[K1LLER7]

^ similarly to when rooney wanted to leave. came out of nowhere.

Yeah, but he never did. i still don't like watching Torres wearing blue. And I don't support Liverpool.

I would love for the fabregas thing to be over by monday evening so i can finish off this kit order for the new away kit :/

There's already a FM thread guys. Please, please, move the discussion there before I suffer another FM relapse. :|

Luiz Gustavo was a waste of money, yes. Vidal interest is because of Jupp, not the board's interest.

Why would City sell Boateng for cheap after they just paid €12 mio last season and he has a long contract? Stop complaining and look for other options or put in a proper offer (at least the 12 mio City paid).

1) They (Man City) don't really need him. He wants lo leave, Mancini said 'ok' to this, so yeah. Also, he hasn't play in a long time because of a injury, and he's still injured. So you can't expect Bayern to pay 20M for him. 15M would be a good price, for both sides, if you ask me.

But don't get me wrong, I would be happy if we don't get Boateng, I much prefer to have Alex (Chelsea) than Jerome.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

You know as a huge football and gaming fan I've never been a fan of football manager. Weird. May give it another go sometime.

It's not like you will be ordering a Madrid shirt anyways, just go ahead with the rest of your order right now.

 

[Arnie]

Same. Always feels like playing a spread sheet or a dice roll to me, not like actually managing a football team. Much prefer a game of Pro Evo or Fifa to bridge my passions for football and videogames.

Saying that I do own FM11 and I have close friends who rack up unhealthy amounts of hours every single year.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Well I also very much like fifa (and used to like PES) but football manager is just a completely different game, I love it because it doesn't require my full attention like fifa or really most other games do, I can play it on windowed mode while browsing GAF, in fact I am doing it right now. Got notts county up in the premier league and close to sealing a deal with Zlatan.

 

[Vivalaraza]

All this FM talk is seriously tempting. So close to starting a new file. Opened the game up once already but came back from the brink. Must resist.

I've currently got my AFC Wimbledon save up, I've won the Conference, League 2 and League 1 in consecutive seasons. Now trying to push through in the Championship.

Give in to your temptations, its for my best my friend... its for the best.
