As loathe as I am to admit it, I think I might have been wrong about my initial rage about the ME. I've gone back to playing again the past couple of nights and I think I'm finally starting to click with it. Someone posted yesterday about the ME not quite interpreting what the game wants it to...

I've been playing since Champ Man 2 and I rarely, if ever, complain about FM. I normally take the view that some things can sort of be explained based on tactics/team talks etc. For FM14 though, I have to make an exception. I can't remember encountering a match engine with more bugs than this...

Great story so far, one of my favourites! :) Made some amazing signings, pity Pitbull didn't come up with the goods, might have even got those extra couple of points to get the automatic promotion. Amazed at Burnley in the Champions League and well done on the 0-0 with England. Keep up the...

My best so far with Blyth was the 5th round when I was back in the BSP. Beat Wolves in the 4th round then lost to Millwall :/ Since I've been in the Premiership, I've lost to 2 Championship teams in the 4th round - so annoying!

Ismael Fofana! I retrained him to AMC and played him there right up until midway through my 6th year when we were in the Championship. Cristian Levis was a good striker for us too, up until League 2. Chris Oldfield is good in goal to replace Cunningham (who I always found to be a bit flaky)...

In 2018/19 season with Blyth (third year in the Prem now) - we've upgraded from around 4000, mainly terrace, to 12,994 all seater, with another 2000 seats being built. Still, at 15,000 we'll have the smallest stadium - wish we could buy a new stadium really.. :-/

Just started 2017 with my beloved Blyth :D Finished our first season in the Prem in 8th, thanks mainly to Diego Forlan (he can barely move now, but did score 17 for us and was top scorer by a long way). I'm really happy with our signings this year. I've signed some more veterans some of...

I'm in year 2015/16 with Blyth after taking a bit of a break from the game. Sitting in 3rd in the Championship - has been my best LLM game to date yet! Best players are Javier Portillo, Joey Barton (my captain), Alejandro Dominguez and Kris Commons. I still have some of my players from our...

Will post pics when I can but I've a few I'm pleased with - best I think, in terms of size of our club is probably: Name: Javier Portillo Age: 33 Natonality: Spanish Paid: Free Value: £250,000 Ex-Real Madrid player at Blyth, whatever next!

Very useful thread, thank you! Must admit, I often overlook the tutoring aspect of the game, though have definitely noticed a difference when you take the plunge and play a youth team player in your first team regularly.

Try and keep the bulk of your promotion winning squad together if you can. Your team will be on a high after getting promotion and bringing in lots of players can upset the balance and morale of the team. I'm still playing Ismael Fofana after 5 seasons since signing him in the BSN. My view is...

Very nice (H) And bought from Blyth too! I'm wondering why I'm not getting these players from my youth setup..!

I've managed to get my Blyth team into the Championship and just started improving the youth recruitment network and training facilities, though the best we've got so far was a 2.5 star striker in the current season. I do remember a couple of my players in previous years with 2.5-3* potential...

Club: West Brom GK: Russell Hoult (not sure if he's still playing?) Def: John Wile Mid: Tony Brown/Laurie Cunningham/Bryan Robson Fwd: Bob Taylor/Cyrille Regis And had to add manager: Ron Atkinson

Now in my 4th season at Blyth Spartans after taking a bit of a break from the game. I've achieved back to back promotions for the first time since I've been doing LLM! Now currently in League 1 - 9 games in sitting in 2nd place, though sure it's going to be a tough old season. Star players...
