Beating Sporting 11-0 in the cup final, because for some strange reason they didn't play their first choice keeper
 
Signed a regen classed as the next Messi, at the age of 17. Bids fly in every market for about £22M, don't want to accept though because he'll end up becoming worth about £40M.

Playing without pressure my team started well with Rooney scoring in the second minute. 5 mins later he gets injured so I bring in my Regen Cherubin Lifondja. My best striker TIMMER scores 2 and gets injured. Lifondja gets 3 an Müller gets 1. So in the end I win 7-0 and 8-6 overall. My best comeback EVER

I went my home team, Brighton for my game and 1st season I managed mid-table in the Championship, 12/13 season, I managed 3rd and managed to beat Swindon for promotion. Now I'm at 13/14 in December, I'm 17th. The January transfer window is coming and I have £13.47m to spend with £165k available for wages, anyone got any recommendations for signings? (Preferably CM, Wingers)

Free :) End of contract and was unhappy because Real Madrid was underperforming (they were at 15th when I aproached him to sign, ended up in 4th or 5th). I just signed him to make money in January or end of season, although he is better than I expected.

EDIT: The only expensive players there were Pastore and Criscito (35M€ each if I recall).

Belarussian Cup Final: BATE Borisov vs Shakhter Soligorsk
Context: I could add a lot of context, but long story short, I've been managing in Belarus for 12 years, first with Volna Pinsk and then with Shakhter Soligorsk, aiming to win a trophy, and thus far, failing to do so due to some bad luck in cup ties and BATE's utter domination of the domestic league (Last season I finished 2nd to them with 83 points from 33 games).

Going into the game, Shakhter have had a slow start to the league campaign, while BATE, typically, have won every game, despite appointing a new manager pre-season to replace their previous one, who retired. Injuries have plagued my Shakhter side in the run up to the game, and 3 of my 4 first choice defenders are missing, with my top goalscorer just returning from injury to make the bench. My centre back pairing for the game have never played together. BATE are comfortable favourites.

The match is underway, I sit back and just hope we keep the score down. BATE break through our surprisingly resilient makeshift defence 2 or 3 times in the first half but ultimately squander their chances. Half time: 0-0.

Second half, fingers still crossed, a similar story, except this time BATE have a succession of chances from corners. In the second half alone, they hit the bar 3 times and have two efforts cleared off the line. Unbelievable last ditch defending but my players are tiring. Just about though, we make it to the end of 90 minutes. 0-0.

Extra time, and just two minutes in, another BATE corner sees us concede a penalty. The break through at last for BATE, surely? Nope, my keeper's having none of it, great save. Half time in extra time: 0-0.

110 minutes: BATE finally find the break through as their centre forward storms away from my exhausted centre halves and beats the keeper one on one...
116 minutes: Equaliser! My star striker scrambles home a corner after coming off the bench on his return from injury. One of our first chances all game!
119 minutes: BATE are all over us again, the whole team is exhausted, but suddenly we can break.. Minasyan, the winger who conceded the earlier penalty and is leaving for Deportivo in 6 weeks time romps forward to the byline, pulls it back, and its turned in, Shakhter Soligorsk lead with just 90 seconds to go.
121 minutes: Last ditch attack for BATE, terrible backpass by my left back.. their strikers gone down.. surely a dive? No? Another penalty for BATE! And this time, the taker makes no mistake. 2-2: Penalty shootout.

BATE's man up first - hits the post! Get in!
Grigaitis steps up for us - blazed over! Whyyyyyy!?
Next up for BATE, Savitskiy, who scored their equaliser - Saved! Yes!
1-0 to Shakhter! Skinderis scores!
Tango steps up, BATE's star player.... wide!
Burton..... 2-0 Shakhter!
BATE finally convert a penalty at the 4th attempt...
But Algrabli scores the winning penalty and I finally grab some silverware in Belarus!

One of those moments that keeps you playing, for sure!
 
Started my career at Walsall, my favourite club. Finished a very respectable 8th place in League One but following cuts to my budget the following season was a real struggle, players had to be sold and replaced with utter rubbish. We survived relegation on the last day. Following that, I was sacked...

In the October of the next season Sheffield United sacked Wilson and hired me, obviously my 8th place finish with Walsall was enough to think I was the man for the job. That season wasn't great, Wilson had a pretty poor squad and morale was low.. I finished 9th, the same position Wilson was sacked.

I was given funds for the following season, got rid of most of the players and all of the coaching staff.. It was time to make the club my own, finished 1st in League One with 105 points, a good 15 points or so clear of 2nd. Great season.

Now in the Championship, coming up to December and holding our own in the league, sitting in 6th place.

Also, in my first season with Walsall on the last day of the season I beat Sheffield United which stopped them gaining automatic promotion! Funny old game..
 
Quarter finals of Copa Libertadores, lost 5-1 to Corinthians in the first leg. To my amazement I flipped the score in the 2nd leg and won on penalties! Similar thing happened against Santos the previous season but I really couldn't believe it this time round :D
