How Are You Doing On CM?

[Tom Halsey]

For ****'s ****ing sake.

My Spurs game, my beautiful Spurs game, 5 seasons, two Premier League titles, a European Cup, an FA Cup (and final), a League Cup (and final)...all corrupted. Gone. Like that.

How can I face life anymore??

Start a new game and make sure you have lots of back ups.

Just cant get a settled tactic with Sunderland. Playing a 4-4-2 gets me very few chances, and usually a 1-0 defeat, playing attacking might get me a home win, but gets me absolutely battered away to even the worst of clubs.

Dug out a few old tactics (backed them up before i formatted), might give em a try

Gotta wonder what Scholes & Giggs were doing in the reserves.

Season 2, and it was international week, so neither were going to get a game for 10 days.

Just finished my second season at Celtic. Still haven't won anything, and I think this year will be my last unless I win the SPL. Should have won the Scottish Cup if it weren't for a Bull**** goal against me in the final. Playing against hearts, it was 0-0 heading into half time, and we had a corner. It comes in, and drops to a hearts player. He clears it out of our box and sends it straight down field. Now, Because Boruc has a high eccentricity rating, he likes to stand a bit close during corners, namely, at the half way line. The ball flies over his head, and continues flying, until it lands where? The Hearts goal, of course. 100 ****ING YARDS. Needless to say, when Man Utd came calling for Artur, I let him go.

Still managing Holland, and just took out the Confederations cup. Managed to get myself a gig with ES Troyes AC in French Ligue 2. Will be a nice challenge for me, as I've got no transfer budget, and the teams best 2/3 players left on free transfers (Had already signed the deal before I took over). Add to that half the current squad being unhappy, wanting to move to a bigger club etc. etc. and it's sure to make this season interesting.

Dire. I would have subbed him straight away as punishment. Started to get a roll on with Cittadella, until disaster has struck with my best left back Matteo Rubin on loan from Torino breaking his foot (which I felt I did well to get him on loan) in training and is out for the next 3-5 months. As I am all of his wages (which is £825 per week) and I am £180 a week over my limit I am almost forced to send him back to Torino because I don't think I am able to pay a player who is unable to do play. So I think he has to go unfortunately. Trouble is that I now need a new left back, I have two guys who can fill that role, but Rubin was my main man. So in the middle of October I am almost forced to look around and find a replacement who is still without a club. There are a couple of Israeli's, but I can't sign any non-EU players this season so my hands are tied and there is a Dutch free agent, he has decent tackling, positioning, but his pace is ten but his other stats are not flash. He will play for £150 a week which is less then what my board is willing to offer (£180 is the limit).

Either way Rubin is going, but there is a guy who got let by Real Madrid and he might be interested...

Second on the table so far.

Cittadella 3 - 0 Padova with goals to Riccardo Meggiorini and Eder (on loan from Empoli).

Espanyol leading La Liga?

Sorry if the size is too small.

Just won League 2 with MK Dons tbh but only have 50K in the bank when i started with about 800k

Espanyol leading La Liga?

Sorry if the size is too small.

Derby were leading the EPL after 8 games in the Liverpool game I had going.

Espanyol leading La Liga?

Sorry if the size is too small.

haha, the weird thing is that happened on my game as well, and it doenst look like it was a fluke as they have lead the spanish league for about 2 seasons on mine, without having a particularly strong team....I guessed it was some sort of freak result, but weird to hear that someone else has had this come up as well...

Got sacked by Portsmouth earlier tonight, a little out of the blue actually, my job was to keep them up and we were 6 points clear of the drop zone. However, the chairman wielded the axe following a home defeat in an FA Cup replay to the "scummers" in extra-time, in my defence we were down to ten men due to an injury after my subs were all used

I don't normally keep games going when I get the chop but I thought I would see what was around, got the Ipswich job after about 2 weeks, they were 9th in League One at the time. Have only played a few games, yet to lose, sitting in 3rd, chance I could take them up though in all honesty I'm not sure if I would rather stay down and build a more competitive squad, at the moment we would come straight back down I am sure.

The irony is that I was tracking Haynes on sledger's advice, all of a sudden he is my top scorer. Just wishing I hadn't signed Garvan for Pompey now, reckon it might be my fault Ipswich are down in League One actually.

Season 2 and Ipswich are in the Prem here, just done them 6-2 at home. Still hovering at the wrong end of the table (dont expect that to change witha trip to OT next), but starting to pick up form now the injuries are dying off. Doyle has 6 in 9 so far (think i've played 17 games), Giles Barnes was meant to spend the season on the bench before breaking through, but has been outstanding and is my top scorer.

 

[Johnners]

Having quite an amazing run in the French League Cup with ES Troyes AC. I've made it into the quarters and will face up against Bordeaux after managing to thrash Stade Rennais (who were running 16th in Ligue 1) 4-1, and then snatch a 1-0 victory over AJ Auxerre (who were running 10th in Ligue 1). We're also sitting 2nd on the Ligue 2 ladder almost halfway through the season. My biggest challenge is going to be keeping the team together in the January transfer window, as there are 3-4 important players who are continually stating that they want to leave. What's worse, is that their contracts run out at the end of the season, and even if I do manage to promote (will be a huge challenge) there's every chance I'll lose a few players to free transfers.

 

[pinchy81]

Got MK Dons up from 23rd at the start of January (in Leauge 1) up to 15th with a G.D of +6 after a 5-0 thrashing of Hartlepool gotta feeling that we're staying up even though we are in some major debt

 

[GIMH]

Secured automatic promotion with the Tractor Boys on the final day. Dropped just five points in my ten games or so so far to lift us into the chase, defeat to Carisle with three left gave Swansea the advantage however they managed to slip up. Going into the final game I was two points clear, so a win meant we were up regardless. With half an hour to go we somehow trailed to Grimsby, who were already relegated. Swansea were drawing, but I didn't want to risk them getting a late one, with goal difference not possible as a factor (as if we drew and they won they were up) I threw caution to the wind, going with a centre back, two wing-backs, two centre mids, to wide midfielders pushed right up and three forwards. Worked a treat as we won 3-2, it was academic anyway as Swansea lost. Good times.

Ended up finishing two points behind Rangers in 2nd, they wrapped it up with a game to go though, were five points clear, however I beat them at Ibrox on the final day to make it look closer.

Europe, drew eventual winners Man Utd in the quarters, had my keeper sent off after five minutes at OT and lost 3-0, a 2-1 win back at Cappielow not enough to prevent a 4-2 aggregate defeat.

New season, and a poor one, I'm 3rd, miles behind the Old Firm, just a case of playing out the season and making the necessary signings for a renewed bid at the title. I'm still in the CL in the 2nd group phase (have drawn United, Barcelona and Roma, great) but with my current form it's quite unlikely I'll do anything of note.

 

[GIMH]

Fuming, just loaded up my Ipswich game and I have somehow ****ed up the save, gonna have to play the last 4 games. If I don't go up, I feel I will lose motivation for the game.
