Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Looking at my head coach profile in my Sampdoria save, I clicked on the person who has the worst opinion of me:

Who knew Larry David managed some team in Mexico?

Season is going well. A bit over halfway through and we're 5 points in the lead. Looking like promotion. Still alive in the "TIM Cup" (I prefer Coppa Italia myself) with an upset 1-0 win on the road at Roma. Unfortunately, AC Milan waits in the quarters.

Through to the semis!! Napoli up next. Playing with house money now.

Cassano thought he had something against his old team, but then was punked by a penalty save. Funny that both goal scorers had their penalties saved in the end.

Completed my first season at Southhampton, and what a dramatic finish it was. Midseason I was 15th in the standings, as injuries were killing my midfield. Slowly, as I got healthier, I started to creep up the table. Going into the last game, I was 7h, 1 point out of a playoff. I won the final game 2-0, and Hull lost to the 23rd team to let me make the playoffs!!!!

In the first round of the playoffs, I played Nottingham Forest who finished in 3rd. I won the first leg at home 3-2, but got down 2-0 in the 1st half of the 2nd leg. However, Rickie Lambert scored 2 dramatic 2nd half goals, including a beautiful chip shot to send me to the finals!!!!

I played Burnley in the final. I was 1-0-1 against them during the season, but got down quickly 1-0 in the 15th minute. However, I scored the equalizer in the 43rd minute to send it to half 1-1. In the 2nd half, not many chances were had, and the game looked destined for ET. However, in the 88th minute, Jack Cork, who had earlier came on in the 75th minute, found some space and buried a shot from the box to give me the lead! After a tense final minutes, my team hung on, and now I'm Premiership bound!!!!!

I have $26 million to spend in the transfer marker. I would like to upgrade at GK, RB, ST, and maybe add some midfield depth. My main goal is to avoid relegation....I need this Premier league money

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Thanks for the suggestion for the names for the league. Finished my 5th year.

Not a bad season as I made it to the semi finals of the DFB-Pokal but lost to Dortmund 5-2.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Has anyone every seen two players carded at the same time?

I've never seen it so I'm assuming FM doesn't have the logic built in.

I have once. In fact, I had two players sent off at the same time. One for a professional foul, and another got his second yellow complaining to the ref about the red.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Yeah, I only see it when multiple players are complaining about a card or offside/penalty call.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

How about opposing players? One player from each team.

So far I have not seen, that I recall, multiple cards at the same time.

I don't remember ever seeing that either. It would be a nice touch to add in. For example, see one of your players get a card for a tackle then see a hothead from the other team get one for barging in at the ref or pushing the player that made the tackle.

I have seen the ref wait for a player to receive medical treatment, then card them after they get up.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Finished my 5th season (2nd in the BPL) and we finished 12th w/45 pts. Moved up from 15th my 1st year. Before the season, the board offered me a new 4 year contract for $43,000 p/w.

We won the FA Cup, 2nd time, so we're in the EURO Cup.

The board decided to expand the stadium by 6,750 seats, and also upgrade the Youth Facilities.

Josh McQuoid lead the team with 27 goals overall, 19 in league. That was good enough for 7th place.

Man Utd fired David Moyes, they finished 6th, and the speculation is I'm the front runner.

My primary team has consisted of this (4-1-2-2-1);
Y. Ma Kalambay/J.Kean at GK, J.Bennett, G.Hanley, D.Mori, C.Jenkinson, R.Bennett, J.Angel-Roman, R.Majewski, Jese, S.El Shaarawy, J.McQuoid.

T.Cica also played well and he and J.Angel-Roman are my AP's.

I picked up Johan Ferreira-W and Borja-CF during the winter transfer and will be adding Gregor Murray-CF and looking at some young WB's for the future.

The player that drives me nuts is Soulemayne Coulibaly-CF. Young, great skill, but inconsistant and whiny as hell. He asked to be listed, which I did, and I also loaned him out but he didn't do much.

EDIT: I loaned out Coulibaly and Chris Hagerty and after I did, I received the message of, We're glad to see the players leave as they've been a cancer in the locker room and we hope the moves become permanent. I really wish my team would just say what's on their mind. LOL.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Well, the Coppa Italia dream is over. Up 2-0 in the first leg of the semis at home against heavily favored Napoli, a defensive lapse allowed Cavani to score a goal in the 85th.

Sure enough, that was the difference. Down 2-0 in the 2nd half, we fought back with a goal to tie things on aggregate. Then it happened. We had a break with numbers, and my left winger had his pick of options in the box. The cross was right to a Napoli defender, and he put it right back at us. Cavani blasted down the right-center channel and attempted a cross. It deflected off the defender immediately in front of him 25 yards from goal. The deflection went right into the upper corner for the most ridiculous own goal I can imagine.

We're going to run away with promotion, but I am pissed because a) why the **** do the semis have to be a two-leg affair when NO other round is that way? Asinine just like the Carling Cup - and b) we played well enough to win the thing and had Udinese waiting in the final, which was winnable.
