JJ 0 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Go on Titus. I wish I'd taken a screen shot of a news thing I got. My physio was telling me about an injury one of my players got. It was something like "X has turned up to training today with a wrist injury. He says he picked up the injury lifting weights in the house." or something like that. My physio seemed a bit suspicious.

khay 8 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 First silverware of the game, the spanish super cup with Barca. 2nd was the Euro Super Cup. Watch me bring them to mid table. 8th after about 6 games. Should have beat Real but Marquez likes to get himself sent off. Eto must have had about ten shots saved.

JJ 0 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Sitting pretty at the top of the SPL after 15 games. 8 point lead too. Things could be worse. Unfortunately I'm now having one of those injury fests which is not going to make life too easy. Unbeaten all season in all competitions, but I can't see that lasting much longer as we're going to be super under strength for the next month or two.

menace13 0 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) http://img62.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pozzisq6.jpg Bought him in January for £5M as back up to Martins, now he's keeping Martins out of the squad. His stats are shooting up too. Edited November 19, 2006 by menace13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 9 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Started a brand new challenge. Used the editor to put Gateshead in the English North Conference and got rid of Scarborough. I always said if I won the EuroLottery I'd put £20m into Gateshead to get them up the leagues so put that in the editor, and also changed the reputation of the club so it was on a par with Hartlepool & Darlington (which would happen if a takeover of Gateshead really happened like that!). First season, bought loads of Academy players from Premiership clubs (spent £400k in total), and won the title. Now in the Conference. My original squad for the season was... GK - David Vadon (19), £90k from Man City RB - Ben Starosta (20), £10k from Sheff Utd LB - Phil Cave (20), £50k from Newcastle CB - Nathan D'Laryea (21), £5k from Man City CB - Chris Shanks (20), £60k from Newcastle RM - David Gray (19), Loan from Man Utd LM - Jermaine Wright (31), £3k from Southampton DM - David Edgar (20), £70k from Newcastle AM - Djamel Belmadi (31) - £6k from Southampton CF - Gary Alexander (28 ) - £28k from Leyton Orient CF - Dion Dublin (38 ) - Free from Norwich GK - Lawrence Matthewson (20), £6k from Man City CB - Seb Hines (19), Loan from Middlesbrough DM - Dennis Wise (40), Unattached LM - Billy Dennehy (20), £1k from Sunderland CF - Benjamin Hutchinson (20), £90k from Middlesbrough ...now January 1st 2008, and a few new faces into the squad straight away after deals I'd agreed earlier in the season finally went through. Was lying 16th in the table after 24 games before Jan 1st, 8 points off the play-offs. New look squad after transfer window deals... GK - Lawrence Matthewson RB - Ben Starosta LB - Phil Cave CB - Dion Dublin CB - Peter Ramage (24), £750k from Newcastle RM - Ray Parlour (34), £250k from Middlesbrough LM - Jermaine Wright CM - David Edgar CM - Djamel Belmadi CF - Andy Cole (36), £40k from Portsmouth and last but not least.... CF - Albert Luque (29), £1.5m from Newcastle Subs - Vadon, Shanks, Wise, Gray & Alexander First match with this squad, won 3-0 at Gravesend, 1 for Belmadi and 2 for Alexander.

Isegrim 8868 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I started a new game with Hessen Kassel in Jormany, which is quite hard as you hardly can attract or pay anybody. If the board wasn't injecting cash every other months I'd long gone bancrupt. The board only wants me to avoid relegation. Finished 11th in the first season, and am in the top half of the table in the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodgate27 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 After 3 consecutive titles (including 2 undefeated seasons), 3 FA Cups and 2 Champions League trophies with Man City I decided for no particular reason to resign. Fittingly Newcastle sacked Roeder and offered me the job. This is 2012/13 now and we have a bit of money to spend but a team of old fogies. Gonna take some work to build up a winning squad, although I've started well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut 9 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I signed Primus (£100k) & Mark Crossley on Deadline Day. 5 games to go, in the FA Trophy Final with Stevenage, currently 9th, 5 points off the play-offs with a game in hand.

khay 8 Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Right got my first coursework out they way so thought time for a little bit of gaming. Started a brand new season with Aberdeen, first deal so far is have brought Krul in on loan for the season as both first team keepers are gash. Need back up for both wings, so going to see who else i can get in. JJ, does maguire get any good in this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Chris Maguire becomes decent enough. He's the type that if you play him, he'll score you goals. He's no world beater, but he's still pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Only starting the season with 3 recognized strikers is beginning to take its toll. Elliot, my top scorer (he poaches ) out for 5 months, Chris Brown out for 2 months (he's shite and I'm trying to offload him but so far no luck), Eddie Johnson knackered. Brought in Kerlon for 8 million in January...and he's hideously unfit with shite stats...I only realized this when I had another look at him before the window started and it wouldn't let me cancel the deal. Also signed Renato (from Cruzeiro I think) who has some ok stats at only 1.6m I'm 2nd, Chelsea just ahead after a VERY fortunate 1-0 win at the stadium of shite. The goal was a yard offside. I'm playing 4-4-1-1. Maloney is shite, but he seems to be scoring when I play him as an AM instead of a striker. GK Mirante (bought him from Juve in the promotion season. Great goalie.) LB Ross Wallace (he's been inspired so far) CB Nicolas Burdisso CB Pascal Cygan/Mathias Doumbe RB Stephen Wright LM Darijo Srna CM Renato CM Massimo Donati RM Clint Dempsey AMC Shaun Maloney (set to join Johnson when we get the ball as we play counter-attacking football) S Eddie Johnson Beat Newcastle 1-0 at St James. I felt guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yay. Stewart Milne is doing my tits in, constantly accepting offers for players by going over my head to do it. Bastard. Hopefully he'll be a wee bit nicer now we've made the Champions League. Got the Scotland job too. My group for Euro 2012 qualifying is Portugal, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Macedonia. Won first 5 games in the group and with a great chance of qualifying. First beat the Borats 3-0 away. Then a 1-0 win at home to the Ukraine with a late winner. Then somehow beat Portugal 1-0 away after being played off the park for the whole game. Beat Macedonia 3-1 at home, then the Borats got horsed 7-2 at Hampden (even Gary Caldwell scored twice). Ukraine (a), Macedonia (a) and lastly Portugal (h). 5 points ahead of Portugal and 8 ahead of the Ukraine who have a game in hand. Scotland haven't qualfied for a tournament yet in my game, so hopefully I can change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesie 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I decided to load up a Bangor save about a month ago as I always wanted a brilliant game with my local football side who I pay my cash every week, anyway, I had a crap first season finishing in a lowly fifth position with Paul McDowell being my top goal scorer as the ‘god’ Andy Morrow was out injured for a good couple of months. Second season and a sensational signing of thirty-seven year old, Glenn Ferguson from Linfield really helped me a lot but I don’t also want to take away from Andy Morrow who also helped banging over ten goals I think it was, but I also made more new signings including former Linfield pair, Stephen Douglas, Andrew Hunter and Jamie Mulgrew who where all rocks and regulars in the first team and Ryan Brown the legend goalkeeper. I won my first trophy of the season when I defeated Coagh United to win the Carnegie Intermediate league cup at Dixon Park in Ballyclare, later in the season that was too be followed by the league itself, ironically I think that was after a two-one away win, yeah I think it was at Coagh United. I almost won the Irish Cup as well but unfortunally I couldn’t have done the ‘treble’ as Michael Gault won the cup for the Premier Division winners in the first half and I was useless throughout getting nothing and deserving the same, that was in season 2007/08. Now I am in season 2008/09 and I have made a mixed start, I mean I lost in the UEFA Cup first qualifying round to Hungarian based side, ZTE 5-0 on aggregate after losing the away leg, 3-0 and the home leg, 2-0 but I did kick off the CIS Insurance cup with a 3-2 away win to Crusaders who I did beat on the road to the final but then lost to Glentoran at Clandeboye by 3-1 after Glenn Ferguson had opened the goal scoring. Media expect a tenth place finish, I’ll take it, I have added Richard Clarke, Lee Verner and Henry McStay to the squad and they will be squad players and it should be a good rotate because I can not expect Ferguson at now 39 to play each week but I hope he will because just like first Division, I think he’ll be the key. Probably my most enjoyable game so far on Football Manager in a long time, now it's bed time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 In my first season I barely signed anyone mate and ended up playing...... McGregor (from Rangers) Hart, Touzani, Anderson, Smith Clark, Dempsey, Severin, Demontagnac (from Walsall) Miller, Lovell It went pretty well like. Think I finished 4th in the first season but should have finished 3rd but totally blew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
