"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

What an odd Community Shield - beat Arsenal 4-0, I had 18 shots, they had 23.

Gudjohnsen hat trick and Lampard scored, seven players got a 10 - Cech, Ferreira, Terry, Essien, Lampard, Drogba, Gudjohnsen, Recoba and Robben got 9 and the rest got 8.

---

Second game, against Bolton, beat them 5-0 - 2 from Gudjohnsen and Drogba and one from Lampard, those 3 got a 10 as well as Cech and Recoba.

However, yet again, Bolton outplayed me, - 17 shots to my 15.

Seems disappointingly easy.

Bring on FM2006 I saw...gotten really bored of this game now.

None of the downloads are working for me. I even tried one on a German site.

"Download kaputt"

Finally got into the Championship playoffs with Boston. I've saved the game at this point so I can reset if I lose and play again until I get into the Premiership.

I know it's cheating but I just want to have a bash at the Premiership to see if I can survive, it's unlikely but I want to at least have a try.

Sold Thierry henry to man utd for £25 million, and puyol to milan for £28 million also released ronaldo, and he signed with betis. The board also raised my funds to £35 million so i bought in some new players.

Got van nistlerooy now up front with cavenaghi, who has finally come good after a disappointing first season, David pizzaro off of newcastle,and some defender off real madrid, a right-back, and some others as well, kamphius (sp?). new season started, drew celtic in my group stage of the champions league, beat them 4-0 and 6-1 in the two matches. 7 games gone in the league, 7 victories, including a 3-0 over real madrid and a 7-1 over osusana with 10-men. Van nistlerooy has got a 10 rating every match and like ronaldo, will get you a ton of goals.

Hehe this game is so realistic, playing Real Madrid in the first leg of Champs League away from home and who goes and scores for me? ....... Woodgate with an own goal :-D

Heh, I feel sorry for the bloke.

Anyways I haven't played it for a few days (OMG!!) so im gonna have a go now with my Arsenal game save.

Chelsea and their money-spinning Chairman, have appointed a virtually unknown Scottish Manager, David Wood...

So, just started a season with Chelsea as there is no way they will sack Jose and hire the manager of Aberdeen lol.
