Very Clear Format You copy the info into a Spread Sheet then pasted into here?

To be honest mate there ain't much more to a Story for FM2012 lol but maybe give a little input on how well you think you doing what player you think are Key to your Success Top goal Scorer was? how did you do in your FA Cup/League Cup?
 
How did you get Hinkel? He wouldn't join me when I was West Ham because I was in the Championship:L
 
Like the layout (grids, not just screenshots) but I think you could make it more of a story and use more text. No-one is really going to read through all that, it looks very dull. If you use paragraphs and space everything out, then there is more chance this story will get popular. Keep it up, though!

Yes you are all seeing it right Carlos Tevez has re-signed for west ham. i tried signing him at the start of the season but Man City wanted £51 million for him, so i tried again in January and they offered him to me for £5.5million and how could i refuse? he signed a contract worth £135,000 a week till 2018 and he's been the best signing I've ever made on any fm games.

Not slating you or anything mate, just giving you some pointers. I said I like the layout with the table, and nice updates. It seems you've had some cracking results as well. Only two things I think could be better, I think you should make your updates shorter (more text and less tables); post it in parts, e.g. Season 1: September - November and so on. Also, you should check your grammar and spelling before you post, as there are some mistakes there. All in all, though, you're doing brilliant and your story's getting better and better!

Cheers I wasn't sure weather to do a story or not because I'm hopeless at writing and i get bored very easily hence all the tables lol, but im going to do monthly updates hopefully like I've done for august and put a bit more writing into it.

Nah, you're not hopeless though. I mean, I get bored of writing sometimes, but sometimes you want to; sometimes you don't. Brilliant signing in Carlos Tevez, although it looks like you've drawn a very hard Europa League group!

Yeah Tevez is a an absolute beast for me at the moment, as for the europa league group, i think its fairly simple apart from the challenge of Zenit.
 
September

Sat, 14.9.201312:45ArsenalTVH4 - 2Premier Division
A cracking result against the gooners as i went 0-2 down after goals from Van Persie & Walcott. But in the 57th minute Darren Bent popped up to pull 1 back, and with in 25 minutes Carlos Tevez scored 2 and Adam Johnson got the last to complete the comeback.

Thu, 19.9.201319:45ZenitA0 - 2EURO Cup Grp B
Nothing really to say about this result, we were absolutely SHOCKING!!!. Kerzhakov scored both goals.

Sun, 22.9.201315:00CardiffA2 - 1Premier Division
We got lucky with this result as Cardiff took the lead in the 3rd minute through Matt Phillips which ****** me off really because he always scores against me, even when he was playing for Blackpool in the championship. anyway Jordan Spence equalised in the 80th minute before Darren Bent popped up with a header in the 91st minute to seal the win.

Wed, 25.9.201319:45BlackpoolH2 - 1League Cup 3rd Rnd
we dominated this game but couldn't put all the chances we created away, Jack collison opened the scoring in the 6th minute, i thought we were going to be scoring non stop after the early goal but it didnt quite happen. Mark Noble double our lead on the 90minute mark only for Armenteros to score in the 93rd minute to prevent green from keeping a clean-sheet. we had 19 shots to their 3. oh well into the 4th round we go.

Mon, 30.9.201320:00StokeTVH3 - 0Premier Division
Another game in which we dominated with the score showing. Adam Johnson scored the 1st in the 26th minute with a tidy little finish. A brace from Carlos Tevez completed the result with his goals coming in the 58th & 71st minute.

bad news guys............... fm crashed and i hadn't saved :'( absolutely gutted its taken me back to march 2nd season so im gonna finish the season then restart the story with season 3
 
Don't think you need a story mate I like the layout the grid etc. As well as posting tables results maybe just need to talk about the tactics you are using things that have worked for you in the season and also the mistakes you make. That's the problem with FM is no one really posts up mistakes they made ie tactics that don't work, people can learn from tactical mistakes. I don't just want to know about some so called amazing 100 goal a season tactic blah blah I want to know what has and what has not worked for people.

What kind of 4-4-2 defensive? attacking? And why did you change if the 4-5-1 was going so well for you.
 
attacking 4-4-2. i changed from a 4-5-1 because i didn't want to just sit back and hold onto leads if we went in front because in the prem that isn't going to work

Right i went on holiday to complete the end of the second season because i was still ****** off bout losing the game earlier. so the 3rd season pre season and august posibly September updates will be up shortly. oh and we finished 13th instead of 7th which means no europa league this coming season
 
wouldnt you ever consider making a west ham team guide for other people who would enjoy trying to get west ham into the prem?

A 6th minute goal from Adam Johnson was to be the winner in this poor match. Stewart downing was stretchered off with a torn calf muscle so i will be without him for around 4-5 months. Ryan shawcross picked up a yellow card for everton while aleksandar kolarov grabbed himself one for us.

Sat, 24.8.201315:00BlackburnH3 - 2Premier Division
We got lucky in this action packed game, we suffered another injury set back as debutant Fernando gago went off with a sprained wrist and will be out for 2-3 weeks. Blackburn took the lead through Ivan Bandalovski on 21 minutes before Darren bent equalised 8 minutes later. Carlos Tevez put us in front with a stunning 25 yard strike low past keeper Paul Robinson. things got worse for Blackburn as martin olsson was sent off for two yellow cards in the 62nd minute. Despite Blackburn being down to ten men they equalised through simon vukcevic, before Darren Bent popped up again to score a late winner in the 92 minute.


League Cup time, im aiming for at least the semi finals this season.
Wed, 28.8.201319:45PortsmouthTVH3 - 1League Cup 2nd Rnd
I made a few changes for this match as I have a big game coming up at the Reebok against Bolton at the weekend.
20 year old midfielder George Moncur made his competitive debut in the win against Pompey, Winston Reid gave me the lead in the 22nd minute after nodding in from a matty Taylor corner. Jorge Martinez doubled our lead with a tidy finish. Jordan Spence all but sealed the win and put our name in the hat for the 3rd round, Benjani scored a consolation goal in the 85th minute.
