"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

Heh you've got Newcastle in the FA Cup Final as well? I've played about 3 games and each time in the first season i played Newcastle in the FA Cup Final. A few of my friends also have had to play them. Quite strange

Got knocked out of the CL in the semis against Milan, ah well, I dont really mind.

The FA Cup should be mine, i've got Newcastle in the final. 7th in the Prem which is quite poor but it's mainly because of me selling so many of my players and bringing loads in which upset a few of my players, but it's fine now, everyone is happy and we're winning most games now.

New season started. I had no idea just how few players Huddersfield had!

I was given 16k to bring in new players, so I signed lots for free, encluding trying for Batistuta :D

I did get Steve Macmanaman though.

Edit:
First game was a 1-0 away win at Watford.

Three wins and the teams I needed to lose or draw did so, so I've survived relagation.

Thanks to me Cambs and Huddersfield are in League 1 next season. I've got a few nice looking signings coming in, but I really need a new keeper and left sided defender.

Well, the board can't ask for anymore then I've given. I need two teams to lose and me to win my last game to survive.

What a win this was.

I came in, with 3 games to go, 7 points behind the team who are "safe", so I need to win all my Games really and I need them to lose most of theirs.

The next game is Vs Luton who are 2nd.

How many points do you need to stay in League 1?

I've taken a risk.

I've got Cambs promotion and 1st spot in League 2 with 7 games to go...with 3 games to go I got offered a job at Huddersfield who were 24th in League 1, where Cambs now will be next season because of me.

They said I can actually have SOME transfer funds, unlike Cambs and so I took the job despite needing 3 wins out of 3 and the team in 21st to balls-up a bit just to survive.

I then looked at who my games were against.

Game 1:
Home Vs Barnsley, who are 1st in the league...I beat them 5-1!

Game 2:
Away at the team in second, I can't remember who because I've not played it yet.

Game 3:
Home Vs Team in 6th...


Tough challenge ahead.

I meant to edit, not quote. :)

Just beat Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup Semis. YEAHA!

EDIT: Nevermind
