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

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix an injury problem? It seems that at any given time, I'm without 3-5 first team guys, and usually for very long periods of time.

      Struggling to stay above the relegation zone with Hull, but I made it to the FA Cup quarterfinals (lost 1-0 to Man U) and have rattled off some decent results (drew Liverpool, beat Tottenham, beat Everton).

        Are you training your guys too hard?

          I almost never purchase a player from a team in their home country, it's almost always more than they're worth. Not that anyone should be surprised, but I always find myself signing Danish players. Just added Mads Laudrup and Nickolai Brock-Madsen to my League Two Port Vale side, and Mikkel Andersen is on loan from Reading.

            ****, that's what's doing it!

            I'm an idiot. Maybe now I'll actually be able to keep Podolski healthy.

              I think I was for a little bit. But I slowed that down and it's still happening. I'm not keeping guys on when they're exhausted either.

                Big Wall of Text a coming. Update on the January Window and the run of games from hell

                Barca spends all January courting Zaha, unsettling him, lowballing me. Eventually Zaha's agent ask for a new deal. I oblige, They want a extremely low release clause, I wonder where they got that from???? I walk, he cries, I tell him to **** off, he apologizes. And he stops scoring goals.

                Now the run of games

                Spurs(Away)

                0-1. Dominated for long stretches, and of course we concede a stupid Own Goal. 34 points, 8 points from the drop.

                Arsenal(Home)

                1-0 lead at break. 46th minute cross, and goal....ref brings it back for phantom foul. 22 seconds later of course Arsenal score.

                2-2 Final, Benteke with a magical run from midfield for the equalizer in the 90th...6 points from the drop

                Zaragoza approach, 5th in the league, but in heavy debt

                Man City(Home)

                1-1 at the half, City awarded "penalty" at the hour mark, no Benteke miracle this time. Still 6 Points up


                Zaha asks for a transfer, I decline, then offer contract, he signs. Gets a £15M release clause


                Stoke(Away)

                Tony Pulis dominates my ***, still cant sit down. 2-0. 5 Points from the drop

                Man Utd(Away)

                Went as expected, they send out their B Squad, and beat me 3-0. Still 5 points from the drop with 5 to go.

                  Yea. I make sure to periodically send cats home so they can get some....rest of course, and come back refreshed. Your doctor should let you know.

                    Not looking good for me to stay in the Premier League...two matches left and I trail 17th place Portsmouth by 2 points, and they won't stop winning. I've got 3rd place Liverpool (drew 1st match) and 16th place Bolton (lost 1st match) left. I've actually been getting decent results too...just drew Man City at the Etihad, but Pompey keeps ****ing winning.

                      Yay, finished 14th in the league.

                      At the top, Manchester United made up 16 points in the final 10 matches on overtake Arsenal by 1 point for the title. An Arsenal team with RVP, Cesc, Nasri, and Hazard

                      Oh yeah, McLeish wins a Cup competition and gets Birmingham relegated. This is scary accurate.

                        Of course Pompey beats 5th place Spurs to seal my relegation. ****.

                        EDIT: and here's how it ended

                          I'm going to stick this out because we find fascinating ways to lose. It's kind of fun.

                            I started an At. Mardrid save, and of course Falcao immediately wants to leave and I have to guarantee him CL football or he's gone. Then I get handed a $1mil transfer budget. Fantastic.

                            Also, hilariously, some At. C player with 1 star potential "rocked At. Madrid" (to use the press's description) by handing in a transfer request. To the unwanted list he goes.

                              Villa save got corrupted...

                              Well, onto the next. I guess I'm pulling a Mo, but I just love Crystal Palace. Plus, I unseat Ian Holloway, which is much fun for me.

                                The 2012-13 season is underway.

                                Spent most of my cash on fixing the Stadium/Facilities and Youth Academy.


                                Here's the squad. Gonna be grueling season. Hoping again to just avoid relegation
