Just like to say on this match, we did not deserve to lose. We completely dominated the game, but lost to two late goals from the fabled FM13 crossing glitch that some of you may be familiar with. Rant over.

Fun fact: Winston Reid has given away six, yes six penalties. He has been transfer listed.

Gotta feeling your Capital One Cup run is keeping you in the job!! KIU man, its what FM is all about!!
 
Hey man, great job. And i get the sense that this game is way more realistic,so good to see you turning things around. I used to plow through every game with my beloved man utd on fm 12, but now if i dont tinker, no dice.

Frankly, 2-1 is still my most common scoreline so maybe im not as good as FM12 made me think i was! :(
