Haha, what are the chances of me getting Newcastle, who I'm currently playing a save as!

Whilst I'm waiting for the game to load up, I'll state my goals and intentions for this story. My plan is to make Sao Paulo the dominant force in South American football, and predominantly keep my young stars around. Europe is becoming all too aware of the talent that Brazil possesses and...

Introduction So, I am finally going to start a story of my own! I've been a member of these forums for years now but only as a spectator mainly (posting the odd reply and thread here and there), and think it's time to get into the action. I've been playing Football Manager since the days of...

Number 7

When I was West Brom I lost 7-0 to City at the Etihad. Considering I had players like Lukaku, Nem & Forren in my team it wasn't my best moment I must admit! Went on to qualify for Europe that season, so thankfully it was only a blimp in my season. Still, not proud. Even Kolo Toure scored against me.

Ben Arfa is currently injured for 3 months which is a major blow, I'm doing everything to keep him and so far it's been working. I sold Jonas as I thought he wasn't good enough and I didn't plan to use wingers here. I'm going to check out Ademilson as I've heard a lot of good things about him...

Hey everyone, I've started a save as Newcastle and thoroughly enjoying it! However despite this I am worryingly sitting in 15th currently in my first season and we're about to come up to October. Early days, I know, but only one win from the first five against Norwich at home isn't the best of...

Well, I'm actually in my first season, just come off the January transfer window and now into Feb. This season I've signed Max Clayton, Wellington Nem, Vergard Forren, Mike Williamson and Kyle Naughton on loan and have David Ospinna coming in the summer on a free but I'm thinking ahead to the...

Probably one of my favourite FM achievements of all time, getting a decent young English side promoted to the big time.

I managed to get Derby promoted to the Premiership in the first season, won the Play-Off Final against Burnley on penalties. Was so happy I literally jumped off my sofa and cheered! Haha. Also Reading won the Carling Cup to qualify for Europa League and West Ham won FA Cup beating Spurs in the...

Couldn't stand Mascherano's theatrics tonight. Absolutely disgraceful! But all the ugliness aside, great to see Eric Abidal back on the pitch. That was a nice touch.

It'll be interesting to see if Connor Wickham gets involved in the Championships and doesn't just warm the bench. I hope he does get his chance!

As much as I wanted to vote for Wojciech Szeszeny, I went for van der Sar. It's his last season in football and he's been a fantastic goalkeeper, you can't deny that. Notable mentions go out to Ben Foster and Ali Al Habsi, who have both been immense in two very average teams this season, in my...

It's great to see Norwich back in the Premiership. They have an extreme mountain to climb next season, but it's still great to see them return. Like most of you guys, I have a soft spot for them too! And Forest. I hope they can make it to the Premiership through the Playoffs.

Hey there guys, In my game of FM I'm now into the 2012/13 season and have just taken the Inter Milan job from Rafa Benitez as he flopped big time and they came 7th. So I'm very excited taking this job, it's just that my pre-season hasn't been too great! I drew 1-1 with Espanyol and lost 1-0 to...
