Now the Blackburn Rovers of Germany!

Fucking hell the rapid flashes on that video are so bad it should come with an epilepsy warning.

Yeah so the contract offers on this are all a bit shit. You can't change the amount you're offering as far as I can see and it doesn'tseem to matter what perks or card position you put on the contract, they'll accept it - which has led Rick Rude and Big John Studd to both sign 5 year deals to be enhancement talent in a 1991 WWF game.

EDIT: And you can literally make one match shows and suffer no penalties. I put on an episode of Prime Time Wrestling that was one 90 minute long match (Shawn Michaels v. Randy Savage) and it scored 80% and got popularity boosts for them both and the WWF.

I haven't played it but might give it a look as I was wanting to get back into writing and this might be an easier and quicker solution for running through a game than TEW.

I reminded myself. Sorry I can't give you more, if there's any one of us who is destined to do great things in their field it's you Jimmy. Go smash it.

Get paid tomorrow, remind me then.

And how many times have you watched it recently? 😛 

I tried to watch it on Disney+ and I can only stomach about three minutes at a time before I have to turn it off. 

When I was a young and dumb kid I rented The Big Green on VHS a frankly embarrassing number of times.

That's why I went with "fanny" instead of "prick", "bastard" etc.

What an unnecessary horrible comment to make.

Dude, seriously if that is your definition of a "horrible comment" never venture north of the border. You'll get to Stranraer, somebody will call you a fanny and that'll be all she wrote for Tigerstyle.

Started playing the tutorial and became King of Ireland but then messed up attacking Scotland (who controlled Ulster) and got soundly trounced. Went back to an older save and set myself to an observer and weirdly Lapland invaded Scotland for control of Strathclyde and won that war with the help of the Finnish. The Holy Roman Empire began to eat into the Byzantine Empire and expand eastwards taking over Hungary. 
 

England was divvied up between the English, Irish, Scots and Norwegians who all owned bits of territory but then it all changed and the Irish took over parts of Wales while the English took the Duchy of Albany from the Scots.

Here's my attempt at a Rangers squad:

GK: Andy Goram, Stefan Klos, Allan McGregor
DR: Fernando Ricksen, Alan Hutton
DL: , Arthur Numan, Sasa Papac
DC: Richard Gough, David Weir, Carlos Cuellar, Lorenzo Amoruso, Jean-Alan Boumsong (was shit for Newcastle but a leviathan for us for a whole 6 months),
MR: Brian Laudrup, Andrei Kanchelskis
ML: Jorg Albertz, Claudio Caniggia
MC: Paul Gascoigne, Ronald de Boer, Barry Ferguson, Giovanni Von Bronckhorst, Mikel Arteta
STR: Ally McCoist, Michael Mols, Kris Boyd, Dado Prso

Fun fact I’m actually having coffee tomorrow with the senior writer of this new Fable game. 

For a 17 year old those physicals and mentals are really good. His positioning and work rate would need focus but that's doable at such a young age. 

Ah the year of John Barnes at Celtic. Good times...

Halfway through my third season with Queen's Park now and I'm sitting top of the Championship after back-to-back promotions in years one and two. Annoyingly my original thought was I could make the club bigger and successful to the point that perhaps one day in the very distant future we'd go from having 200 fans inside Hampden to a 50,000 sellout. Alas the moment I was promoted from League 2 and the club turned semi-professional the board decided we should move to the 2,000 capacity Lesser Hampden and I can only assume we sold Hampden itself as the finances of the club got a massive increase overnight, going up by about £5m. Now we're looking at promotion to the Scottish Premiership but I'm dreading that campaign because the club's stature and reputation, plus our finances, mean that I can't really envisage a scenario whereby I can put together a team that can survive - hell I've still got a couple of players on Amateur contracts from the League 2 season - and I think that we'll quickly end up haemorrhaging money and end up in a lot of debt without a takeover. 

33 years old and this still made me laugh.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. From earning fuck knows how much money every week to playing for free on an amateur contract in the Scottish fourth tier (and not even being good enough to make the match day squad).

The kits all come in individual league/country packs but there was a guy on Reddit who put them all in his Stack and if you click Download Map it'll download them all in one go.

Do I even want to ask what that is?

One of the files is called WaifuHugger so probably not.

Boo to no Viking raids in Africa.

So having not picked up and played FM in years is there a good YouTube series that would introduce me to all the new things and how it all works? I have watched some of WorkTheSpace's YouTube videos but his skin looks different to mine and stuff so I don't know where things are in FM compared to what he had.

has this guy genuinely made 114 videos of himself playing FM? what the phoque

Just of that one save game I think too.
