fail... 3.5M down the drain. OK, he came during January window but still... I'm playing Bologna, i cant afford that kind of spending. He's had some 3 goals and ended the season on a 800+ minute goal drought. Thank Jebus for my wonderkids...

Well, FM is kinda mild, mostly because I can always tweak the tactics next game. But I've destroyed 3-4 xbox controllers before and ruined a perfectly good couch, all in the name of FIFA. Granted, a great deal of my FIFA play is done in the weekends when I get home quite drunk, but that's no excuse.

Bologna, season 1 nearing end. I somehow managed to ****** a bunch of wonderkids. Sold players, sold my soul to the devil, cut slashed salaries, bla bla bla and ended up with the following listed wonderkids, all playing in my first team: felipe anderson zakaria labyad yaya sanogo sergio araujo...

6 and 12... nice numbers. Carrol had the same... 6 months, 12 goals, and look where he's now :) YNWA but man ain't he a ******* waste of money!

I wouldn't say that. There was that 4 - 0 loss of Real Madrid by Alcorcon earlier this year... and while low scoring there was LEEDS BABY LEEDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS who did a number on ManU :)

I don't have anything nowhere near as crazy but that half time talk probably did the trick. WBA in 18th place, I'm in 4th playing away. I slammed the team at half time! Told them all were unworthy and needed to win the game, no ends ifs or buts. Gave them a huge thumbs up afterwards, in dressing...

I took Torquay from BSP to League 1. Couldnt hack it any further. Got sacked when facing relegation. Took Como from I think Serie C1 all the way to Serie A, 3rd place finish, CL round of 16. Then Juventus offered me a job so I left. Took York from BSP to Prem in 4 years, left when I couldnt...

Another frustration... ManU seems to be heavily undercarded. Case in point, my striker gets ball from deep, goes for a run from close to midfield, is fouled by the last ManU defender, has physio come on for help and the ManU def gets nothing, not even a stern telling by the ref. And for 3 of my...

In my opinion this isn't really cheating. Yes, cheating is what you do when you gain an unfair advantage through unfair means but that would only work in a perfect world where the playing field is completely leveled. Not in ours! If the playing field was leveled then Everton would have just as...

Danilo Gerlo from River in 2009. Free transfer, fantastic defender kept him in the team from BSP to Prem. Unreal! Now he's one of my coaches. Been contemplating giving him a coach role in Scotland but his judging of ability and potential are less than 10. he's not that good a coach either... but...

I usually go on holiday at the end of the season or if I've won the league and there are a few games left. Or rarely when I'm playing teams I know I can beat, dont feel like going through the match so I set the team and tell my *** man not to change it and off I go for a couple of days. When i...

I've gotten something similar in LLM. I try and make friends with big team managers so i can get some praise and some positive press, mostly just to increase the faith of the board, team and fans. But despite me winning promotions nearly every season I get the cold shoulder. They all say I'm...

I'm York City, season 2020-21. 4th in Prem, I had told the board I was going to get Euro spot to get the bigger wage/transfer budget. They gave me plenty so I was able to completely rebuild the team with some pretty good players. I've got an Genie CA average of 157 for the team which isn't bad...

It seems that star players or soon to be star players won't be let go for real cheap. If anything the team will ask for the entire release clause fee. In my current game, 2020-21 season Bale is some 31 years old and wants to come to my team. City has him currently and they'll let him go for 25M...

Here it is. And yes, I find Barcelona style of play extremely boring. Yes I have seen them live, yes I am in awe of how amazingly well they do what they do, yes I think they're absolute quality throughout but at the same time, watching them play is just as fun for me as watching Rafa Benitez...
