***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Was browsing my normal FM site and found this post that some may find helpful.

Touchline Shouts Explained a bit

http://www.guidetofootballmanager.com/

That site/tool helped me a lot and It goes into further detail about the touchline shouts along with everything else about FM.

I have weathered the storm and January has finally arrived. New signings Benzema and Owen have arrived. Torres has also finally returned from injury but it might be too late for him now. Especially now that in July another Fernando is coming, Fernando Llorente.

I'm negotiating a deal with Hamsik so he might be inbound before the January transfer window closes.

Currently I am 5th and 13 points behind City but 2 games less played so not bad considering I was striker-less for months. Moses and Sturridge have filled in nicely.

Off to a solid start so far in my Everton save. 3 wins and a 2-2 draw at Chelsea to start the season and I'm second to City ATM. Jelavic has 4 goals while Baines has been really solid as well.

The only negatives - Hargreaves went out for a month with an ankle injury and Gibson is gone a couple of weeks too. Not too much depth in this squad, but fun to play.

I'm really struggling and dropping down the table fast. Man did I need this miracle draw.



Probably the first time playing Overload for the last 8 minutes of a game has been successful and not allowed another five goals.

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

fist pumping, I'm sure his reaction was this

Goal 89'- "Way to ****ing score a ****ing meaningless goal. Where the **** where you earlier?

(Now if I know FM logic this occurs)

Next wave of attack, missed the target- "You ****ing waste of talent, you're so ****ing transfer listed"

Goal 90+3 -AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA **** YES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

***Sits back down, looks at time and hopes FM Gods are kind and the whistle is blown***

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

Time for a re-enactment of playing Southampton with Everton:

5 min - Goal Soton: Why the **** were you moving the ball back???? You're supposed to move the ball forward you moron!!!

20 min - missed shot (me): You had a guy wide open on the left!! WTF you selfish bastard. Useless POS

30 min - Goal (me): See what happens when you actually pass the ball? Now go get another one you tool

55 - Goal (me): That's more like it Fellaini. You actually hit a shot on target

60 - Goal (Soton): WTF Howard you moron? Thanks for giving the ball away idiot

80 - Goal (me): PIENAAR!!!! YES!!!! Now please guys, don't concede anymore

Game Over.

Funny part of this was that my wife walked in and shook her head after she saw the screen. LOL

Had an odd glitch where Porto took on Torres on loan and a day later returned him saying his loan has expired.

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

Had a similar hilarious moment with the new Assistant Manager tips mid game.

32 minute: Noesli is having a serious issue fitting in with the club.
33 minute: GOALLLL Noesli!!!!!

You're becoming an addict.....

Into the end of November and I haven't lost as Everton A draw against Chelsea is my only blemish. However, to say that it's been easy would be inaccurate. I beat Man City 2-1 barely and had to rely on a missed Aguero header to save the game.

I've developed a man crush Marouane Fellaini. I actually want to buy his jersey now because he's such a life saver. Scores big goals, can actually defend and attack. I think I might be signing him and Baines in any future FM save I do because they have played well

Only crappy part is that I lost Baines for a month.

My exact feelings. I've turned Stoke into a solid top half team, but I can't beat freaking Bolton >_<
