I was at Fulham when they approached me though

It's 4 seasons in now, started off with Newcastle and got them promoted and started off well in the Premiership, Fulham got relegated then sacked their manager half way through the 2nd season so for some reason I took that job. Got them straight up that season and then had a solid mid-table finish, and then in that summer Man U and Spurs came calling. Fulham were only giving me £4-5m to spend, despite being taken over, and when Man U offered me £55m I couldn't resist! I took the job in early June before the targets for the next season were set, I agreed to a "title challenge" and for that they gave me £55m to spend, if I agreed to "title winner" I would have got £66m. I've flogged Berbatov for £7m, Obertan for £5m, some Russian winger they bought for £12m I managed to flog for £11.5m, and sold a few kids that were going to be no where near the first team all for around £2m-£3m each. I made them £28m before I've even spent a penny! They had 12 scouts when I arrived, got rid of the useless ones, including Fergie's son. The back room staff are brilliant like, didn't have to bring one coach in they had so many to begin with all with excellent stats. Desperatley need a GK cause they've still got Van Der Sar, who's now 41, and Foster who looks terrible. Looks like I'm gonna sign Dzeko from Wolfsberg for around £20m to play next to Rooney, and probably Gourcouff to play attacking midfield. Need a good winger as well cause Valencia looks pretty average and Nani wants to leave (thankfully!). Win a couple of trophies there and then wait for the Newcastle job to become available... once the Tony "The Messiah" Pulis gets the boot!

They got asked (300 of them, who happen to not be at work at 2-30pm on a Thursday) if they wanted to be part of the launch "campaign", it never said the strip would be for sale tomorrow though.

Is it actually being released tomorrow like? There's been nowt on nufc.com or nufc.co.uk about it...

The bit in bold is bollocks like. I wouldn't possibly try and argue about the importance of Nolans goals but his general plodding doesn't even come close to the performances that Ricky has put in every game. Jose is comfortably the best player in this league from what I've seen. Spot on.

Why the fuck are sunderland called the "Black Cats" anyway? And for the record, what a shite nickname that is.

Cunts.

When you see all the really simple designs on here that look lush, it makes you wonder why so many horrible over complicated strips are made every season.

I was there against Reading but not last night.... truer than true me.

Probably right although Big Dunc was pretty decent with his head too... and not just on other people. Andy Carroll is basically a more mobile version of Duncan. I think he's a better player at 21 than Ferguson was at 21. Again, he didnt do a hellish lot yesterday (especially in the first half, but he wasnt alone in that) but he still scored. Some very nice touches in the second half, when he's on his game he's a joy to watch...at this level..... 20 years since I was last at a game at Ashton Gate before yesterday, and that was the last time someone twatted me at a match....sadly, looks like things haven't changed much in Bristol...but in saying that watching 3 or 4 Bristolians scatter about 20 of our lot who were in no doubt "up for it" would've beenin parts funny and shaming, if two of our lads hadnt required hospital treatment, and also those of us who came to their aid received a slap from the returning city fans for their trouble...nice place Bristol I heard there was trouble, what exactly happened? Fuckin Welsh cunts. It's always these non event places, where people are trying and failing to make a name for themselves like Stoke, Burnley, Wolverhampton and Bristol. Looks like there was an off in the park beside the ground, which was seen off by the poilce, our lot came up out of the park and on to the pavement of a dual carraigeway beside it where we ran into them. Then some of their lot appeared and all these young uns basically legged it, apart from two who turned to have a go and got twatted. No real sympathy for them because they were all looking for a ruck, but its a bit emabarrassing because they got ran by no more than half a dozen of their lot. I dont think it was our lots "top lads"....if it was then theyre a fuckin bunch of bedwetters on that sorry show. That's the modern squad rotation for ya...

3-1 Fulham. 4-4 on agg now.

According to Booby Moncur (at the game) it was the players that didnt turn up, in particular Jonas. From what I seen (on a stream) I thought he looked our most dangerous player, and I'm not a massive fan of him either. A typical away performance from us though, still can't believe he took Lovenkrands off for Butt. That, understandably, gave them a massive lift as it was obvious we were trying to settle. Good to see Carroll get another though.

Colo off injured, Raylor on at right back, Kadar to centre back and Simpson gone to left back. Got that?

He is. Do you know him? I'm guessing so....

What did he say?

The one from nufc.com isn't working like...

Given the fact that one of them is 3 hours before the other, I reckon you'd be alright to catch them both.

I've downloaded the file and put it in My Docs/ Sports Interactive/ FM2010/ Editor Data.... but when I go to start a new game the new database doesn't show up! Any ideas?!

Were you at the match?

Arsenal just conceded a hilarious goal after Fabianski picked up a back pass... as if they have a keeper who is worse than Almunia.
