How Are You Doing On CM?

Got bored of winning everything with Liverpool - opted to move to a recently relegated Blackburn with the aim of getting them back into the Premiership whilst also manager of a fairly average Holland side which scraped into a World cup quali playoff position in a group of Ireland, Denmark, Holland, Georgia, Kazhiakstan and Malta =/

FM on the PSP is awesome, take's me back to 01/02.

Gretna top of the first division after stagnating for a couple of years (3rd, 2nd). A 5-0 preseason win over Celtic and a 3-1 cup win over Rangers bode well for this year.

Has anybody been to sortitoutsi.net and downloaded a patch thingy where you get the World XI full of guys like Pele, Cryuff, Maradonna, Zoff, Yeshin, Carlos Alberto, Best, Charlton , Garrincha etc (all the all time greats) in the Premiership and the likes of George Weah in the 'B' team, and if you choose them you would probably never lose despite getting a massive transfer kitty (you will have to start a new game and they are based in London. Sunderland is the team they replace in the EPL).

So I have resisted the tempation and I have gone where I have never gone before - into the Czech top flight with Banik Ostrava, going ok so far at 3rd spot after only a few games but I'm going through a goal keeping crisis. I have three goal keepers, two are injured and are out for about 2-4 weeks and my only "fit" goal tender is only at 43% fitness after recovering from injury. So I'm trolling around to find myself one or two goal keepers, from Nationwide Conference, to Germany, to Greece, to Spain and Italy, to France, Romania and I'm having a look in my own league. Funnily enough I played a friendly against the World XI and I only lost one-nil with Maradonna scoring. A good result when I figured I would get done at least 6-0.

You can't say I haven't gone for a challange when I could have been Sparta Prague and had an easier time in attracting players.

Personally i've used thedugout.net website for years - there's a whole database of good players (including those on the cheap) on there - but what i mainly use it for is getting hold of tactics.

I've not played outside the English league for awhile now - It certainly makes the game a lot harder when you play in say the Danish second division which makes it more rewarding when you do well :)

Strange for an Arsenal fan to be using Tottenham.

Got Tranmere promoted to the Championship, but was too crap to get them any further. After a couple of seasons just missing out on the playoffs, I found myself back down in 15th.So when Dundee came knocking, I happily jumped ship...just to realise they sold half the team in January and our leading scorer is out for the season. Managed to beat 4th placed Gretna 2-1 in my first game, though. 8th with 11 games left.

So after winning the premiership with everton after 7 seasons and crashing out in the semis of the champions league i took the chance to take over at oxford who lay in league 2 its going to be hard but with a few veterans in Davidson at LCB and some Uruguay keeper who plays for the national team im looking good in 3rd after 10 rounds.

I also couldnt believe my luck when Liverpool wanted to loan one of my reserves for 3 months and also giving me 20million pounds as a fee. Of course i accepted and it should help keep the club healthy.

i just started a new game on fm with all the new transfers so it will make it interesting. chelsea's side is just ridiculous.

Methinks once you get a decent team in fm, Chelsea will be the toughest team to beat. It's almsot like theyre playing football manager out in the real world. Getting the best players, and assembling them into a team.
