"Football Manager '05"

Is dangerously addictive, almost impossibly deep, and is a truly marvellous management spectacle.

It is also frustrating beyond words, often truly ridiculous and is a cause of premature mental instability.







I love Football Manager '05

I'd say loan Welsh from Liverpool. He seems to play well for me.

Didn't for me, he was solid and set up a few with long balls.

Terry has been good so far. I'm running away with the league and still in the CL and FA cup...I won the Club Championship too.

Vanden Borre is on his way and looks like a promising player. I also have a few people coming through my youth squad I want to keep an eye on.

I feel Kirkland isn't as good as the team demands though.

Just got myself a very respectable 1-1 draw against Arsenal in a friendly (who were at full strength) Muirhead scoring in the last minute. :)

Frendly against Chelsea next at home, then a trip to Celtic for the first game of the season. Not looking good for the first couple of weeks, need a few decent players. ML needed next as i might be offloading Chris Clark for 45K. any Suggestions.

Right-back, hmm...

Daniele bonera (sp?) or gianluca zambortta are good choices, Well done for getting rid of Laum, he gives away a stack-load of penalties. John terry is good to have a CB, he scores loads of goals off of corners.

At Ac milan I played him up front with torres, they both got over 30 girls in the season.

Useless fact: in pes4 he's white, in real life he's black

Anthony Vanden Borre - class player, 16 and in my Liverpool first team.

I was naturally delighted when I stumbled across him :)

I've bought quite a few players too:

C.Ronaldo
Fernando Cavenaghi
Rooney
Rossi(sp?) from Roma (Left back)
Santana (got him free)
Van Bommel (got him free too)
Rio Fedinand

You might be thinking "How the hell did he afford all of those", well, I had to sacrifice a few important players of mine...Henry, Reyes (£21M) and Ashley Cole.

Me = Happy.

Adriano is on his way again.

I'm buying loads of Brazilians. Adriano, Ronaldo, Ronaldino and Juninio.

Need a new right-back now to replace Laum, (who I swapped for Adriano).
