Gaming CM Experiment: "It's coming home!" Edition - Signups Open!

I assume I'm languishing in the championship and my career is going down the tubes, destined to be on the England scrapheap without a single cap.
 
Oct 4, 2002 - U21 Friendly - Greece v England

@K Stand Knut is injured, so he missed the match. @Siorac, @AbusementPark and @Stobzilla were starters.

Not the best match for the caf players, especially @Siorac who was replaced by Crouch

October 5, 2002 - Euro Qualifier - Greece v England

After an important win against Belgium, another difficult test away to Greece. Only 1 change from the last call up, @BenitoSTARR was injured so @nimic was brought to replace him. @Mr Pigeon also got injured the day before the match.

HT and Greece is ahead. England has more shots but not very effective

Double sub: @P-Nut and @paulscholes18 leave the pitch, @whitbyviking and @TrustInOle will play 45 min.

Free kick conceded by @oneniltothearsenal and Greece makes it 2-0

FT: Greece 2-3 England

What a win, the english goalie was the best player in the team, Karagounis with a 10 ended on the losing side

You have the team's best average only behind Boksic, however Spurs are only 4 goals above the relegation spots. Truly bizarre AI decision to pick Spurs over Barcelona.
 
Transfer Rumors

Leeds are interested in @pacifictheme

Celtic are interested in @Skizzo. They have made an offer but it was rejected.

@Withnail has now requested to remain at the club, but United still has him listed. Bayern are interested.

@K Stand Knut may be on the verge of leaving Forest. Newcastle had a bid accepted, contract is being negotiated.

@Siorac rejected being loaned to Leicester

Atalanta are interested in @WR
 
Andy Marshall putting in a 9 and still conceding 2. I'm sort of glad I'm not in this shambles of a squad.

Trying to get me before I manage Rangers in the future. Smart.

Any chance someone wants to end my mistake and take me to a good club? I should go grovelling back to Barcelona for half the pay
 
I'm always taken off after 70 minutes :( Like fecking clockwork.

This would never happen if Ole was the manager. Because he wouldn't make subs before the 80th minute.

I assume with the lack of notifications in this thread, that my proposed move to Everton/Derby fell through and I’m still twatting about in the Championship m, wasting my career

You still exist, yes.
 
You still exist, yes.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

if Big Andy plays for Southampton and the England manager doesn’t watch it or pick him, does he exist?

You're definitely making a lot of sound over this mate, do you need to chat :wenger:

@Samid rejected being loaned to Preston, he has only 3 appearances this season off the bench

@Withnail is no longer transfer listed by United

@whitbyviking lost his place in the team, got angry with the manager and was transfer listed. Lots of clubs interested but only one offer accepted so far: Barcelona.

@K Stand Knut is now a Newcastle player. They paid Forest 15.5M

Spurs interested in @Big Andy
 
Consistent 7s, i feel above average
 
I am still fuming my move to Spurs has dropped me to the stands. It's expected cos my player is a braindead shit but still

Am I even playing for Spurs?

Are Barce in the Champions League? I guess this iteration of the player won’t accept the hairdryer. Hopefully a move reignites my international career
