This thread has been linked to the game 'Football Manager 2005'.
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

Finally reinstalled!
Yesh, I'm playing as my beloved Chelsea, and no it isn't overly challenging, but you know, get back into it...
So far not doing badly, a point behind Arsenal 9 games in. Only 1 defeat, to those goddamn Magpies.
Bought Dede (add relevent flicks) and Ewerthon from Dortmund, the former has played well whilst the latter is playing pretty damn poorly. That's £22 million for an average rating of 4.75 so far, haha.
*Adds to transfer list*
At least I can afford to do this :P

I'll dry my tears with the Richardson - Schweinsteiger - De Rossi - Ronaldo midfield i'll eventually have :-D
Hmmm need to crowbar Mascherano in there somewhere, might just go with 3 at back with him sitting just in front

Picked up Schweinsteiger from Bayern for 9.5 Million today, although that upset Fletcher, poor mite, not too sure what he's so worried about he'll be out the door come the end of August :-D Trying to hijack Chivu's move to Newcastle as well, if i get him i think that's my spending done apart from the usual array of youngsters i poach from teams and groom them to be my future superstars
Beat Man City and Sunderland to take me joint top with Money bags at 9 points each after 3 games and i beat Burnley 1-0 with Q.P.R to take me 4th after 4 games played, not too shabby considering i'm meant to be avoiding relegation. Ignacio Ortega is an inspired signing and now i've got the Guatemalan superstars in Pezzarossi and Figueroa

Heh, if only. Also, I've got six injured players, all of which are regular first team players. I've got a big enopugh squad to just about cover it for league games against the likes of West Brom or Leicester, but Arsenal even with a strong team is near impossible.

Argh, after battling through the group stages of the Champions League, I have drawn Arsenal in the quarter final. (I'm spurs)
Ahwell.
Ahwell.
Bah the barstewards at the home office or whoever it is that do it won't give Macherano a work permit for his move to United, appealed on that so hopefully he'll get it, heck if Freddy Adu can get one Javy should be able to. Just getting ready to tonk Maccabi Tel Aviv in the CL qualifiers now.
QPR i've had a mixed start with, lost 2-1 to Watford due to a keeper error but beat Norwich 1-0 after being pelted with attack after attack most of the game. Good old Stefan Moore sticking in a free kick with one of the 2 shots on target i had all game. Though saying that out of the 24 shots Norwich had, only 4 made the keeper do something. Think they need some better strikers :-D
