    It all starts with a long, drawn-out board takeover that results in the entire transfer window under an embargo, lol.
    Of course.

        The team always seems much more badass with Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink on it.

          Never let fear determine who you are. Never let where you came from determine where you are going.

              None in FM 11, but I had three or four in FM 10. I rarely if ever attend press conferences, and I'm sure if I attended more, I'd get more questions on bad calls, criticize the ref, and get banned more often.

              Also, that's a tough group. Good luck.

                  It was tough but I qualified. Last game is against the team I lost to, Spartak Moscow.



                  Hopefully I win or get a draw so I can get a high seeding in the Knockout draw.

                      Started a career game to learn how to really play the game before '12 comes out. Took the Derby job in October when they were in 20th and have proceeded to not drop a game yet. 5-0-5 with the key win being over Leeds when they were in 2nd. Alberto Bueno and Ben Davies have just been money in the 4-2-3-1. Once the January transfer window opens, I need to sell some people off to try and bring in two more pieces to make a push for promotion.

                            Well, it must suck to be Leeds in my save then.

                            Stretched the unbeaten streak to 20 games (21 overall), the last one being a 2-1 win over leaders Burnley. I have to play Liverpool next in the FA Cup, so more than likely it was a nice run.

                              Back to back Coupe De France winners. Now on to try to win Ligue 1 where I'm only 5 points from first.

                                Got a great result in the first leg of the UCL knockout stages against Porto. I was up 5-0 at one point, but their two goals were goal of the year material, including a chip of my keeper, which I had never seen work in FM.



                                Also, my quest for Five Serie A titles in a row is going quite well as of Feb. 18:
