    THAT sad song...

    Does anybody know what the song is called that they play over all the sad VT's in Comic Relief/Sport Relief/Children In Need etc - just heard it used on Radio 1, not for the first time, and have never found the name of it... I can't find any videos of it on YouTube as of yet, so I can only...

    Putting the ball in the Net

    Hi all, I'm currently playing as West Ham in the second season, and my tactic is good enough, the team create plenty of chances but none of them can actually put the ball in the net, on one on one opportunities! It is getting incredibly frustrating - Especially as I have forked out £16m for...

    Post Events of Your Game

    I just had an idea to create a thread to give a place for people to post their current league situations or other parts of their games in screenshots. Ie, it might be interesting for the "community" to see how people's Premier League seasons have turned out, who has won and what not. For...

    West Ham - Right-Back

    I'm looking for a right back at West Ham in January of the first season. My budget is about £6-7m, having sold Valon Behrami for £7.5m, I need a replacement. Ideally one who speaks English, to reduce settling times, and also someone who's current ability is sufficient for the Premier League, not...

    West Ham - Left Winger

    Ok, so I have £11m, West Ham United, First season, First Transfer Window. I need a left winger who is willing to come (ML, that is, winger, attack). Preferably left footed, but that is not a necessity. What have you got for me? Cheers, James

    West Ham - Poacher

    Ok, so here's the situation: I am West Ham, doing quite well in the League in January. I signed Landon Donovan in the summer (this is all first season, btw), hoping for him to be as good as he was in FM 10. He has been frustratingly poor so far, scoring 9 in 19 apps, but 4 of which were...

    The Final Whistle Podcast

    Well, to accompany my blog, me and a mate have decided to (attempt) to start up a running monthly football podcast show. Hopefully you guys can have a listen to the first show due for release after Christmas/Before the New Year, while you are all, like me, waiting for the official FM Base show...

    Yet another blog?

    Yes, I've jumped on the metaphorical blogging bandwagon. Basically, its anything I have an opinion on, not neccessarily Football Manager related, nor absolutely football-orientated (although there will be quite a lot of entries regarding the sport). With Frankie's idea about an FM Base...

    FM Base Story of the Year

    Right, now I know there has already been a thread for this by Eds-99 (here) but I have discussed it with him and he has given me permission to start a new thread with the same aim, but mainly because I, and many others, believed that not every story was given a fair chance, down to the fact that...

    The "Will my Game work?" Thread

    For PC users only, and not just for FM.. Basically this thread is for people who know enough about computers to judge whether a game will work on a particular computer, using system specs and game requirements. I thought people may need this thread to make sure a game would work on their PC...

    Season 10/11 Premier League Kit Pack for FM 2010/11 by *James* Since I will be updating the file with kits as we go along, I feel a thread is necessary to let people know of updates and changes in my kit pack, because they will need to re-download for these updates to take effect. Since the...

    Unique ID's of Nations and Clubs

    Taken from sortitoutsi. I thought it would be useful to save people having to go into FM to see their team's Unique ID when making kits, logo's etc. It was taken from a while back, so League listings are wrong (eg, Middlesborough are listed as Premier League) but the ID's remain the same. I am...
