How Are You Doing On CM?

Am still the manager of Nigeria. Two things, I have only goal keepers all up, and for the life of mine, I can't hire a physio, so I have heaps of injuries (doesn't seem to hinder me in getting to WC finals). Is that a problem for African nations?

Mind you the game is spot on though, as I played England in the semi's, and it went to a penalty shoout-out and I knocked out England on pens :ph34r:

Which is why you turn the match speed up. :p Probably just PC speed giving you problems if you find it slow, though. =/

3rd season with Arsenal managed to qualify for the Champions League final for the first time. Will be facing frigging Dinamo Kiev in the big one though which is a big wtf? Had to knock out Villarreal, Chelsea and Madrid to get this far, I just can't **** this up.
Putting the curse on yourself? Brave man.

Interestingly Arsenal won the Champions League in my 08/09 BSN Workington game. Beat Man U (IIRC) 1-0 in the final.

Ok, need a challenge,an English lower league team to recommend?

League one or two is probably the lowest I could go without being too frutrated by the situations. Have tried Hartlepool, Bury and Colchester recently so might give those ones a miss.

12th in the Prem in my first season there after finally going all the way up from BSN. Mid-season, my English U-21 striker was sniped (£26m + % from his next sale) by Man United just after he knocked them out of the FA Cup. At the end of the season, my Brazilian wonderkid DC was snapped up by Real Madrid for about the same amount. That money has gone to a massive strengthening of my squad and a lot of pay rises to keep the other stars happy (somehow managed to stave off interest from Real, Bayern, etc for my AMC/FC but the silly season hasn't ended just yet...). Pretty happy overall, confident of easily staying up now for some time. Being 2021, though, it's only Sam Hewson that is a recognisable name in my side now (he currently plays for MU reserves IRL), although Ronaldo and Rooney both still play for United, scoring regularly in their 30's.

EDIT: For those not knowing, I started off with King's Lynn, just renamed them using database to something more 'me'.

Yeah but as soon as you win all the trophies at least once it gets dull afterwards.

At least with a lower league team if I set myself a goal of wining a Premiership I'm interested for a pretty good stretch.

'tis true. I only tried a higher league manager for half a season before getting bored. Always better making your own club and going the distance.

Better record keeping - I wouldn't mind seeing a complete listing (or at least top 50 or so) of goalscorers / appearance-makers for my club, so I can see how my players are comparing with the greats. I'm not sure if they have that at the moment but I've been unable to find it if they do.
