Gaming Football Manager 2010

Beat Liverpool 1-4 at Anfield in the second last game of the season to win the league four points ahead of Liverpool and City. That was nice.

FM has created this epic attacking midfielder called David Silk, a Australian born Brit. He just suddenly appeared out of nowhere, aged 21, costing nothing and has the attributes of Ronaldo about. Love it when that happens.

Rooney, Fabio, Rafael, Evans, Fletcher, Adem Ljajic and Anderson are basically the only ones I have left.

Have bought Dodo, Rafinha, Otamendi, De Rossi, Fabregas, Milner, Cattermole, Di Maria, Buanonotte, Gignac plus a hundred others.

Suarez, van der Vaart have been in and out as well.

Apart from not giving my local lads a chance in hell I'm quite happy with my team.
 
okay so my starting lineup now looks like

Sturridge ..... Necid ..... Drogba

Schneiderlin/Possebon ..... Vander Borre
Song

Regen LB ... Some French dude .... some Algerian dude ....Regen RB

Turnbull​

It's 2013, so Sturridge and Necid are in their mid twenties and Droggers is in his late 30s but still a beast. Song was 3 million (Arse were asking 10 but I talked them down), quite proud of that signing.
 
this game needs to be shot in the dick.

one shot for one goal? meanwhile i have a penalty saved, and numerous one-on-one's tipped wide!

 
Just had a stretch of 4 matches, atfter going 12 in a row with wins... 1 defeat, 3 draws, all shit teams except liverpool.

Now im 6th and players are dropping like flies
 
I miss my old FM09 team at times. I had this utterly ridiculous english homegrown lad called Shaun Griffiths who is - at 21 - my best midfielder at United. And that is in a squad with De Rossi, Veloso and Fabregas in about 2019. I miss old Shaun :(
 
18 SHOTS to 2 AND I ONLY feckING DRAW! THOSE MAGGOTS!

every time I play Bologna that Vivian knut (keeper) ends up being the MoTM and thwarting me. every single time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Makes me laugh, you playing as Southend. It's where I'm from. Awful team, awful town.

I jumped ship to Southampton as soon as I go to FM2010, although as I understand it that isn't much better
 
Should have stuck it out with Southend! You could have really twisted the knife and gone for Colchester.
 
Treacherous cnut. Don't fecking Southampton over and go to Portsmouth.

:lol: I love it when you have one player that just becomes your nemsis. On Fm08 mine was Jordan Rhodes, who in my 7 season spanning Southend game must have scored about 20 past me. feck I hate that guy.

Takayuki Morimoto. Catania's record against me is something like 16 wins and 4 losses, and this gimp has scored in every game against my Parma side, I'm positive.

This despite Catania repeatedly finishing just above the relgation zone, and me being in a CL place almost every season.

God how I hate Takayuki Morimoto.

I bought him in my game, and at 30 he elected to play for England (it seems like there's some odd thing where the Japanese national team don't pick real players) and he scored the winner in the WC Final. He's a goal machine.
 
Pepe Reina is my nemesis. I've played against the Dippers 17 times and only twice have I gotten a better result than 1-0 (A 4-1 and a 2-0), and I'm fairly sure he's been man of the match in every game except the 4-1. Always pulls an amazing performance out the bag, just luckily we always sneak a goal in somewhere
 
I started a new game with Birmingham. The board gave me £29.5m to spend and I bought Javier Garrido, Mahamadou Diarra, Alexander Anyukov & Demba Ba.

Started off horribly, my first two games were Liverpool away and Chelsea at home. I got battered 5 - 0 in both games leaving me rock bottom. Then I managed to scrape a 1 - 0 win in the derby against Villa which kept the fans happy. Next came two matches which made me feel physically sick, lost both (Wolves & Portsmouth) in the 90th & 93rd minutes 1 - 0 each. Then I scraped a 1 - 0 away win at Burnley thanks to a Scott Dann freak goal. Felt like nothing was clicking and then I played Arsenal at home, tried out a 4-3-3 formation and battered them 4 - 0 :D Hopefully should kick on from here and might use that formation a bit more now.
 
I'm playing a 4-3-1-2 with a deep lying playmaker ala Pirlo at Milan. It's working pretty well, lacks width but for a team that was in 20th it combines solidarity with creativity well. Just drew 1-1 in the last minute, then lost 4-0 away at Barca and 1-0 at home to Real. Real are shitting all over the league with something like 13 point cushion over 2nd.
 
My fixture list is fecking horrible this next month, fecking horrible.

Got 4th placed Udinese, three days later I have 2nd placed Roma, 3 days later I've got Sevilla, then I've got Inter, then Juventus, then 3rd placed Atlanta.

Motherfecker please.

I always found managing in Italy quite easy.

What type of tempo do your side play with in Italy?
 
Managing is bloody stressful...

EDIT: feck yeah 92nd minute winner McFadden! :D
 
Well after winning everything with United, I started a new game and randomised my team...I've got Liverpool :nervous:

Yeah my Palermo side has taken all before them these last two seasons. I thrashed Roma (the second placed side) 4-1, I absolutely mullered them.

I play slightly above normal tempo.
 
A bad result against Wolves and I could lose my job according to the media. Bit harsh I think, I'm only 13th in the Prem, about 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
