"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

Oh yes, Micolli's(sp?) contract is expiring. I might be able to get him on a free transfer and hes only getting paid £5,000 p/w!

I can pay him up to £40,000 p/w I think!

Woo me!

Meeeeeeh, Javier Arizmendi isn't in my Database.

Yeah, but it was someone else.

ARGHHHHHH!

I hate forgetting stuff like this.

Lots of teams in Spain use it.

Valencia, Betis, Deportivo, Atletico Madrid, and I think Barcelona have on numerous occasions this season.

Boca Juniors.

I don't use this formation for them, currently, though, because I've got too many strikers and players would get unhappy. I'm playing with the other one right now as it's best suited to my team.

It works amazingly with Atletico Madrid, though, as they only really have Fernando Torres (unless you bring someone in), and he's usually 100% fit so the 1 striker system works really well. Atletico have also got another top class young striker coming through called Javier Arizmendi, who I was using as a backup to Torres in 2006/2007. Then I sold Torres for £40 million and then my game got deleted by mistake before I'd bought anyone else. Meh.

I very rarely make sarcastic comments. :)

Im in 2006 and 1st. Im winning all of my matches in the Dutch League now, Ajax used to be good but they're 5th right now...

Iaquinta does that for me...
:)



I don't know that I like anyone. It hasn't shown up anyway...

All my players love me though.

About a week ago.
Can't tell if that is sarcasm or not.

I got some great players for free in the Summer... though one never comes to training but he scores loads.

Wow, you only got the game recently didn't you?

I'm doing amazing.
