Honestly I have no idea. A taste of our own medicine. We'd come back from 3 down in the quarters at Real Madrid and 2 down in the away leg v Milan. Nothing like that though. Unbelievable
Mpache Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Started a new save in Portugal's third tier with Esperanca de Lagos. First season ended OK, finished mid table despite being predicted to be one of the bottom teams.

Mpache Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 4th season, made these 2 signings @Dan 6 months only though... maybe less if they get injured. Not on huge wages and I have backups, so it's a gamble worth taking.
LFCMike Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 World Cup final 2034. Finished with Scotland now. Need to try and win the Champions League with Hamburg. Fell at the quarter final stage last season
Dave Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 So I kept Portsmouth up. We started the following season really well in 5th place by the end of October. Then Pompey were then bought out by some ambitious London show pony who spent over 100 million on two players. The side fell apart, we lost 10 - 0 to Liverpool and I was sacked in 9th position. The year is 2032. I think its time I started a new save.
Takezo Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 This West Brom was my first save this year, stopped around March, then started at Dresden, ended up in 2nd place in my second year in Bundes, but moved to Inter where I have such a fucking team. Might comeback to this West Brom save. The problem of this team, and all my teams before the Inter one was me neglecting a lot the teamwork attribute and some defensive ones on certain positions where I thought a 9 tackling could do.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted July 24, 2020 Subscriber Posted July 24, 2020 My Hamburg save is really starting to pick up. 1st season - came 2nd in the 2.Bundesliga, annoyingly, I had a very high points total (71 I think) but Hannover pipped us on the final day to the title on goal difference after I lost at home to Sandhausen didn't matter much although it still bugged me, we got promoted and that was the aim. 2nd season - came 10th in the Bundesliga in what you would have to say was another pretty successful season, survived with relative ease. 3rd season - came 4th. I think we've just recruited really well. This is a major benefit to us. 4th season - currently 2nd with 6 games left although expect to finish anywhere from 3rd to 5th as my final two games are away at Bayern & Dortmund, though on current form I actually think we might get something at Dortmund, we've had two mini slumps of 4/5 games this season but bar those we've been absolutely on fire and in the second half of the season I feel like we're thrashing somebody every other game. We totally fucked it in the Champions League but it was to be expected in that blasted condensed 2022/23 season and when we got a ridiculously hard group of Man City, Inter and Valencia. Done nothing in the DFP Pokal - got absolutely humiliated in the 3rd season by losing to third tier Erzgebirge Aue 2-0. I've got a really good, young squad and I'm sticking most of my money now into regens. Just bought this Romanian midfielder for £5mil and he's absolutely changed the game for us, he'll play for a Real Madrid type side. Got Fabio Silva, Bukayo Saka and Eric Garcia on frees. It's just a really nice team, we are generally solid at the back and since the Vintila signing have been absolutely banging the goals in too, he's made us tick. Below are some of my star players.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted July 31, 2020 Subscriber Posted July 31, 2020 3rd round of the FA Cup with Grimsby and we are sitting in 8th just one place outside of the playoffs in League Two. Finally found a formation that seems to work for us. Injuries are a massive pain at the moment but it’s more reason to get a bit of depth in when the January window opens. Happy it so far!
Mpache Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 Been playing a save with Evesham now. Started in the 8th tier and got them up to the Vanarama National. I won promotion to the Vanarama North in 2 years (2 consecutive promotions) but got stuck for 6 years in that league. I finally escaped and now am just a tier away from the Football League. Tom Ince broke the assists record for me with 22. @Dan @Bluebird Hewitt @Smiley Culture @...Dan @The Palace Fan
Mpache Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 Good start to my first season in the Vanarama National. Played a lot of the teams around me as well.
Mpache Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Much to @Bluebird Hewitt's dismay, Bradford City stayed in the Vanarama National. They survived after a good second half of the season, albeit by only 7 points. As for us, we bottled it. We were in a playoff spot with 4 games in hand, and we go on a 7 game losing streak. In seriousness though, we werent prepared for the National. We had a good squad that was able to lead us to a respectable finish, but we had a real problem with fitness and only had 1 really good squad. The B team wasn't good enough. So everytime I had to rest players, I basically had to sacrifice a game. Also didn't have enough coaches. Next season I'm gonna prepare a little bit better.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted August 4, 2020 Subscriber Posted August 4, 2020 Finished outside of the playoffs after the last day of my first season. Gutted but we were only targeted to finish mid table so can't be too disheartened by it in the end. Second season now and made some signings so hopefully this will be the year Grimsby get promoted to League One
Smiley Culture Posted August 6, 2020 Author Posted August 6, 2020 My season started off flying, then went to shit when the captain got the arse for getting subbed off in a cup game in which he was putting in a 6.3 (not for the first time), destroying morale and I’ve somehow managed to turn two wins in about ten games into six straight wins and we’re at the top of the league.
Mpache Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Mom can we have Solomon Kalou? We already have Solomon Kalou at home. Kalou at home:
Mpache Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Nice, on an FA cup run. I hope I get Manchester United at Old Trafford in the 4th round.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted August 6, 2020 Subscriber Posted August 6, 2020 A few games into Season 2 now. Still got no money so relying mostly on the free transfers and loans. 10 games played in the league and happy with where we're at but would like to finish a lot higher up Won our last 2 games and hoping we can capitalise on it
Smiley Culture Posted August 6, 2020 Author Posted August 6, 2020 Capitulation Mk II. One point clear, three points from twelve possible, seven points behind now with six to go. Bottlers.
Smiley Culture Posted August 8, 2020 Author Posted August 8, 2020 Billericay Town Football Club - Season 2019/20 Vanarama National League South - 4th (lost in play-off semi-final to Wealdstone 4-3 on pens) FA Cup - 1st Round (lost to Barnet 0-1) FA Trophy - Third Qualifying Round (lost 3-0 to Welling United) A season of up's and downs. We started off like a house on fire and were thirteen unbeaten till Wealdstone, who eventually finished second, drummed us 3-0 in October. The wheels initially come off immediately after dumping Dagenham & Redbridge out of the FA Cup. We beat them, higher league opposition, 3-2 at home to set up a place in the First Round but captain, Doug Loft, a bloke who threw out a 6.3 of a performance after an hour against Dagenham and had been averaging 6.4-6.6 up to that point, threw his toys out of the pram for being subbed off, ruining morale in one fell swoop. The utter bellend. I wouldn't mind if he had a point but he was garbage up to that point and we limped past a couple of strugglers in St Albans City before a streak of one win in ten, incorporating four straight defeats, including the televised cup tie against Barnet, a side under normal circumstances that I'm certain we'd have beaten to set up what would have been another home tie, this time to Barrow. I won't disguise the fact that I was gutted as I felt that only for Loft's outburst, we could have got to the Third Round and then, who knows, maybe a money-spinning tie would have lay in front of us, which would have completely changed the face of the club still struggling with a bloated wage bill from Glenn Tamplin's rein. Thankfully Tonbridge Angels exist. They were down the bottom of the league and have an awful squad. I don't know what happened but an Idris Kadded (a free transfer, who went on to score 24) hat-trick inspired a 6-1 win and six straight wins that put us to the summit of the league. Surely, we couldn't mess it up here? Even a win at Bath, eventual league winners, gave me confidence but again, bloody Wealdstone. Again, three-bloody-nil. This set off a period of three wins in ten games as we dropped down to fourth and had to deal with the play-off's. Our local rivals, Chelmsford City, with their gobshite manager, Garry Hill (who replaced Luis Boa Morte) lay in wait. Hill, before and after a 1-1 draw in March was spouting a load of rubbish about how much he dislikes me so I wanted to humiliate them in the play-off's. We were on course to as well. 2-0 up (Henry Woods, on loan from Gillingham purely so I didn't have to bother with Loft and Kadded) with ten to go, we're in the next round of the play-off's, aren't we? Of course not. Chelmsford threw on Sam Higgins, a bloke with awful ratings, and he turns into prime Messi and we're heading into extra-time. To say I was raging was an understatement. Thankfully, Simon Bloch Jorgensen, a 6'11 (yeah, SIX FOOT ELEVEN) goalkeeper stuck the winning penalty away to set up a semi-final with...Wealdstone. For. Fucks. Sake I thought the writing was on the wall after eight minutes, a shot cannons back off the post, into Jorgensen and we're one down. We'll fall apart. It's this team summed up and my luck on Football Manager in the play-off's. But we didn't. We fought back and equalised through Kadded. Extra time was edgy and neither team made anything to attempt to win it. Penalties come round and this time, Jake Robinson, a bloke paid £1,000 a week to play in the sixth tier of English Football, missed and Wealdstone progressed to play, and beat Dartford in the final.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted August 11, 2020 Subscriber Posted August 11, 2020 Started a save as Leeds and it's going alright so far! Disappointed with the loss to Forest but we've been in great form since. Hope we can keep it up.
