Wahey! From Minardi's first ever points in his first ever race to his first ever win. Well done, Mark.

Erm...Minardi's first ever points were in the Detroit Grand Prix about twenty years before Webber scored those points >_>

*European Minardi >_>

Just checked Wiki, and yeah, heaps of (relatively) points before him, but when he got them I swear there was a big fuss about it along these lines.

Pon-ting! Boy, you got some 'splaining to do.

Wahey! From Minardi's first ever points in his first ever race to his first ever win. Well done, Mark.

Got an 80-rated central defender on loan if anyone is interested (Bristol City).

I'm not sure whether to be proud or ashamed that I've managed to get Plymouth into second place.

Oh well, early in the season, plenty of time to get crushed yet

Such as just then

Today was a good day. Beat TEVOL for my first win of the year and got Michael Dawson on loan. Wahey!

BRAWN: Button & Barrichello (possibly Button & Senna)

RED BULL: Vettel & Webber

TOYOTA: Glock & Kubica (Trulli can't be around much longer, can he?)

MCLAREN: Hamilton & Sutil

FERRARI: Alonso & Massa

RENAULT: Kovalainen (I imagine they'd welcome him back ala Alonso) & Romain Grosjean (rumoured to have been replacing Piquet mid-season)

WILLIAMS: Nakajima & ??Liuzzi??

TORO ROSSO: Buemi & Algueseariaiaiaiaia

BMW: Heidfeld & Rosberg

FORCE INDIA: Fisichella & ...some guy.

CAMPOS: de la Rosa & (insert Spanish GP2 driver here)

MANOR: Villeneuve & di Grassi

USF1: Speed & Patrick

Which takes Trulli, Piquet and Kimi out of the equation. Seems about right, me thinks.

Would be an amazing comeback for Senna if true.

FOBs? Racist, reported.

So what happens now? We all go off to join CPU teams?

Dammit, swapped Hilfenhaus out for Clark cos I didn't think he'd get a game

Firefly definitely. Could have easily done another 3 seasons.

And Jericho should have got a full second season, but I doubt it could have been fleshed out much more than that.

In a Man Utd game on FM08 I managed to get Owen on a free as well.

Scored 1 goal in 15 games before I sold him to Liverpool the next year for 15 million >_>

I thought Michael Johnson had died?

Chelsea have just signed a Middlesbrough goalkeeper on a free, that came out of the blue.

I'm just feeling sorry for Ancelotti, we all remember what happened the last time a few frees were signed ¬_¬

Brad Jones?

Sees it's Turnbull

Didn't Jones cement himself as first choice last year because Turnbull put in some very poor performances? Weird signing, but he'd hardly get any game time unless Cech breaks his head again.

Wahey!

Ugh, theres been no United hate at all in this thread.

I see I have Hammy saying 'Wahey!' now >_>

Well it looks like we are going to lose out on Ribery to Madrid. Seriously, this is piss taking. How can Blatter and Platini allow this to happen? If that was an english team buying these players then those two fucking idiots would be attacking the Premier League. Realistically now it looks like we are not going to be able to sign an established player.

Why should they stop anything? They might be double standard pricks, but why should they stop Real making transfer deals?

Because they're signing players Man Utd are rumoured to be interested in! That's gotta be a crime or something right?

Berbatov - Keane

Modric - Palacios - Carrick - Lennon

BAE - King - Woodgate - Corluka

Gomes

How awesome would our team be if Man Utd didn't poach Berbatov and Carrick?

They've signed, what, 3 players? Maybe 4 now? Me thinks there are a few more established players out there than that.

I'll take that 1-1 draw, QPR have a pretty decent team.

Iaquinta to Ipswich now

Rex Hyman at your service

I'm Burnley, Sell Me Your Players, Now

You look like you don't have massive depth at centreback, got a decent one going for about a million at Bristol City if ya want.

Transfer Deal

88 rated Midfielder Leiva LUCAS has shocked Atlético Madrid fans by moving to Sheffield United for £6,000,000

This is the kind of thing that annoys me >_>

Why would Preston not loan Andrew On-again, Off-again? :@

He was a hero to me in FM for his sheer inconsistency!

So I resisted the urge to take over Sheffield Wednesday, I think it was, who have Thierry Henry and instead went for the largely still realistic Bristol City. Wahey!

Daniel Levy finally sold up to a bunch of Englishmen, so no foreign billions, but it'd be interesting to see if they want to keep me on or not.

And the new chairman has just informed me there are no plans for any investments at this stage
