I'm getting pissed of with the Singaporean league. I bought colombian striker Gutierrez with his 17 finishing and he completely dominated the league scoring over a goal a game, until they broke his ribs. I won the league, and as he recovered for the new league, he broke his rib again. I still get by winning mostly, until Gutierrez recovers again. Thing is, he can't score now. Worst case was against Super Reds, he had at least 5 one on ones with the keeper, shooting straight at him nearly every time. Then this shit striker of theirs with no stats over 10 decides to rip through my defence and lob the keeper with 6 finishing. Pissed me off as I ended up losing 3-2 with a goal disallowed. Still no other team will take me, so I'm tempted to start another game with more lower leagues on.

My first year in Singapore was awesome. I signed some south american talent who practically owned the league. I lost in the semis of the first cup, only because the team was shit without the players I bought. Then on the second cup, I had a 4-1 lead from the first leg. In the second, we played the most shit game of the year, losing 4-1 and starting extra time. I defended so we could get to penalties, but on the 122nd minute (fucking referee) they score. We still won the league, though, and I entered the Singaporean HOF. In the summer I tried really hard to move, but no team would take me. In the end I just signed a new contract and reinforced the defense with a couple of new players. Only on frees though, as for some reason the club won't give me the slightest budget even with nearly a million in the bank.

Fucking Newcastle. They expect a respectable league position, I get to the UEFA cup and they tell me they're disappointed because I only got a respectable league position. Then they complain because they don't think I'll be able to challenge for the title in 2 years because I only finished in a safe midtable position. And now they fire me. And just to add insult they hire Allardyce who had left them in 14th two years ago and finished 14th with Man City this season. Man City offered me the job and I took it. Hope they get relegated and die. I only regret leaving Gonzalez and Sharp in that sea of cold blooded bastards.

I sold Lescott and Jonas(I think that's his name, he's an argentinian winger) for a combined $72m, which highly useful. I replaced Lescott with a 22 year old mexican defender for $22m and got Mark Gonzalez for the left wing at $25m. So far, Sharp and Carroll have scored 6 a piece and Owen's still in great shape with 11 goals in 10 apps, making us the highest scorers with 27 in the league. Gonzalez has been awesome, ripping right defenders, of which there is a lack of pretty much everywhere, assisting 7 goals and scoring 3. Mexican defender had a great start, but right now is rotating with Taylor to play with Dawson, who's a monster. Given still gives great performances, so no need for a keeper yet. I hate Rooney. God damn, he scored 4 goals, 2 almost from the circle and the others outside the area. What an ass. We threw dirt on his performance when Leonardo Ponzio scored a brilliant piledriver, letting us win 5-4! Currently 2nd in the league after 10 games a point behind Chelsea and a point above Arsenal, Villa, Pompey and Sunderland in that order.

So Napoli fired me after losing 3 in a row against Inter, Milan and Juve. Laudrup gets the job, while Man City fire Sven. Allardyce jumps ship and I get Newcastle. Laudrup is fired soon after, after getting them into relegation spots. Anyway, Allardyce left Newcastle in 14th, with a pretty good team, but many tough matches. They were out of both cups, and only around 10 matches left. I managed to finish 12th, with matches against Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool and only played Portsmouth of the lower table teams. Now the board are on my back for losing the FA and Carling Cup, which is bullshit. Anyway, I got Billy Sharp from Portsmouth for $5m, along with some mexican striker with potential on a free. Currently I need a backup keeper, hopefully one that can replace Given, and a midfielder as Emre is shit and Maloney is just decent. As long as I don't get fired for Sam's fuckups, I'm happy. >_> EDIT: And what the fuck is up with Giovani dos Santos? He's been getting contract offers for 2 years straight from Barca, and a couple from Milan, but hasn't signed a single one.

He has 16 composure, 14 bravery, 16 decisions, 13 concentration, 14 anticipation and I have no idea what else you'd need to score. I made a new game making myself rich to boost my morale a bit. >_>

How much finishing does a player need to win a one on one? Goitom misses at least 2 per match with 18 and this Bologna player just puts the ball right through Kuszack like he wasn't there.

My strikers are just shit. Out of 19 goals in 18 games, 9 have been from my strikers. My top scorer is Arango, who I got from relegated Mallorca. I spent $12m before the season to get Henok Goitom. He's been a huge flop with a single goal in 17 appearances. And now my defence is starting to fall apart. Getting Chimbonda on the January window hardly helped as Samba and Cannavaro let anyone pass, shoot and score on Kuszack's rebound. And we're also getting at least 1 red card per match for some reason, no matter what I do with the settings. I haven't won a league game in the last seven, getting just 2 points from those games and somehow holding on to 10th, although Livorno is biting at my heels. I hope I can get either Pizarro on loan or Baros on a free to try an score at least a goal a game. At least we're somehow still earning a bunch of money, and if that keeps the board of my back then fair enough. EDIT: Who the fuck would choose 19th placed Torino over Napoli? Pizarro, that's who. Asshole. EDIT2: Goitom is shit. He costs us the cup against Fiorentina missing a penalty, and now he has another chance to score in the league after over 20 hours, and misses again. EDIT3: Holy shit, now he goes on and wins the match for us in the 94th minute!!!

Before the last game of the season, I'm 10th, a point behind Udinese and drawn with Reggina, but I beat them on both matches so I'm ahead. So I can finish 9th to 11th, which is pretty good considering the piece of shit that is Iezzo. Without Samba and Cannavaro we'd have given away twice as many goals. It hasn't been too good on the other side of the pitch, with 32 goals we have the 5th worse scoring record. So now I'll probably get something like a $16m budget to get a new keeper, new fullbacks, a goal-getting striker, a midfielder if Flamini doesn't renew his loan and decent backups all over the place. I managed to get Martin Palermo and Diego Alonso on frees so someone other than Cannavaro can score from a corner, along with Ciro Polito as backup keeper. Salami's value now sits at $7.75m, almost 5 times the price I bought him for. 4 goals and 3 assists in the season, which would be more if Lavezzi didn't have to run back and forth across the goal before deciding to shoot.

Napoli's a blast to play as. Every player I've gotten has played well, except for Cristiano Zannetti. I bought Matias Vuoso from Santos Laguna, Samba from Blackburn and something Salami from some Denmark team. All have been pure class, along with the awesomeness that is Ezequiel Lavezzi. Had a good start to the season, winning 6, including Fiorentina, drawing once with Empoli and only losing to Inter on the opening day. After that I had a shit schedule of Juventus, Palermo, Roma, Milan and Udinese out of which I got only 2 points. Now I'm 7th with an extra game, but only 3 teams that can pass me. Seriously though, I change anyone on my first team other than the strikers and it all goes to hell. Against Genoa I took out Domizzi to give someone else a run out, 2 minutes later and they score. I also hate how the press keep saying we're destined to be at the bottom and use any draw as proof that we're about to be relegated.

Fucking Luis Fabiano. Plays shit for 3 months, so I put him away for a while. I give him 15 minutes in a cup match against West Brom and what does he do? Fucking hattrick. In 10 minutes. Play him in the league and he's back to being the slow, lazy shit that he always was. No wonder Sevilla gave him up for $5m. I can't get a break with strikers, Stokes, Lita, Defoe, all huge flops. Bianchi's the only decent one, with something like 16 in 30 games. But he gets injured in every game so he sucks. Elano has been unhappy for like a year now. Fiorentina and Bayern wanted him but neither was willing to pay $30m, so he became unhappy ever since. Which has turned him from my best player to crap. Damn it, why can't I ever get back into this game?

I finally got to play this at a friend's house and it's incredible. Metaknight is pure awesome. Snake's moves are bit awkward at first, but he's real fun. Especially bombarding opponents with grenades. Fuck his little brother for knocking down the console and fucking up the game.

Dear lord, I install the patch and start a new game with Villa. Of the first games, only one team didn't score, West Ham, who lost 6-0 to Arsenal. I lost 6-1 to Man U, and half the results had at least 5 goals in them. I mean, Vidic scored a hattrick, all goals from corners. It's crazy. I think I'll go back to my 07 game for a while...

Celtic vs Barcelona was an awesome game. Too bad they couldn't hold on for a draw though. Bwahaha, Adebayor.

A friend bought the booking version of the Wrestling Encore game I think. Having 20 people in an exploding cage filled with a bunch of weapons was awesome, especially when we realized Kurt Angle wasn't getting up 'cause he lost his feet. I might look into getting this one sometime. And I can't get to the page you linked through the website. The game isn't even under the "available titles" area.

Well, it seems the guy he pushed pushed the doctor (which I suppose was Cameroon's).

Most of that is true, but you don't see many goals like these because goalkeepers hardly go forward. I know it was a great shot, but not enough for it to earn the best Bundesliga goal of the year award. I've seen some great goals from this league's teams, including this one, and I'm sure at least one of them would be a better choice. Although I must admit Diego's had the best atmosphere for it to happen. Maybe I exagerated a bit, but the ball hitting the crossbar didn't make it better in my eyes. A nice, clean shot into the net would look better, I think, but that's obviously extremely hard to accomplish from that length.

Wow, how the heck did Diego's goal even get into the competition? It's not like it was an incredible curling shot into the top corner from midfield, and the keeper wasn't even there. I mean, it hit the crossbar as it went in. Ugly as hell. I bet this year we'll see Kehl's goal when he hit the ball with his back in the top 3. >_>

Found this interesting save on another site. Basically Spurs let go of almost all their players and for whatever reason have funds of over 1 billion pounds. Yes, billion. And you get to visit the Emirates on the first match of the season. I must say it's quite fun having all that money to spend.

I hate Bianchi. He only scores when we're clearly going to lose. I also hate Isaksson, Schmeichel, De Sanctis, and Green for being shit keepers. Also, does anyone know any good left backs who aren't in a top team already? Shorey is like the only decent choice, but Portsmouth bought him for $22m so I'm not spending that. I almost got Bridge from Chelsea, even had an offer of $6m accepted twice, but the bastard would rather sit on the bench and complain about how he never plays.

Try turning down tempo, because with high tempo they try to shoot as soon as they can. Also I think time wasting has an influence in this, so if you might want to up the time wasting if it's too low. Also, before matches, never say you are sure you'll win, as that pretty much causes a negative reaction from your team every time. EDIT: And now Isaksson lets 4 through and still gets a 9 rating. And that's with 6 shots on target.

I just love how I managed to be in a group with Spartak Moscow and Lyon in the UEFA cup. >_> Also, player interactions are awesome. If your player agrees with what you think of his form, then he will play very awesomely. Now Stokes is my top scorer, as I got Bianchi's wrong.

I can't believe I just spend something like $60m in the last 2 days of the summer window. I had a $50m budget, sold Bellucci(who Sven had bought before I took over) for $42m and Corluka for $34m, along with Samaras and someone else for an extra $20m. I kept my spending to what I needed, until I realized Cani was my only AMR, so I went crazy and got like 3, and for whatever reason also bought Stokes from Sunderland(who's a great buy, BTW). And I still have around $30 or $40m. I also think that's why I'm stuck on the lower half of the table, and had to beat some Romanian team AND Wycombe in penalties in the UEFA cup and League Cup, respectively. Well, it might because in my first 4 games I had to play Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool, only playing at home against Man U. Although I almost snatched a win against Liverpool, but as it has happened to me on most games, they score on the last minute to cause a draw. Oh well, it's gonna be like last season, starting from the bottom(almost).

I'm dominating Super Middleweight. 5-0-0 and 4-0-0 on my boxers. I also have a 5-match undefeated streak with someone else. Everyone else is shit, and the ones who showed potential(both in Straw-weight) have gone to hell.

After losing some more games at Torino, Sven got fired from Man City, and lucky me got offered the job. I inmediately jumped ship, leaving Torino with something like 6 points from 14 games and jumping to a City in 17th place. With the awesomeness of the team I won 4 in a row, moving me up to 9th, then Arsenal gave me my first loss. A draw at Villa and a lucky win over Liverpool leave me 6th behind the top 4 and West Ham. During January I got De Sanctis(great keeper) and Luis Fabiano from Sevilla, both of them were transfer listed. I also got some West Ham reserve for cheap to cover for the injured Petrov. But I must say Elano is a god.
