@Colly is now just two wins away from victory, but can secure the title next week if he wins and @gunnar hendershow fails to pick up 3pts.

 @Captain Kirk is the only other player with an outside chance.

Think this has basically been everyone’s experience of lower league management this season.

I remember a rumour that if you got to level 99 before leaving Midgar that either Zack would join your party or Cloud would become Zack.

I actually tried the challenge over a summer holiday and got to about level 56 before becoming utterly bored by the grind. I think I did the maths on it too shortly before the point of quitting and realized it was going to take an insane amount of time.

Another memory I have is completely boning myself the first time I played FFVII because, for some reason, I felt like using magic was cheating. So I didn't ever equip materia. I got to the prison in the Golden Saucer before the game became too difficult. A friend clued me in that I should be using materia so I just started again.

For some reason I used to alwaysun away from most battles, unknowingly doing a low level run. I remember getting stuck on the Cargo Ship Jenova for about two weeks as her laser could one shot kill me. Also not realised I could destroy the pyramid/bubbles in a couple of boss fights making them exponentially harder too. 😂

My game became spamming summons and Comet2.

I suspect it's down to my management, but have people had issues with throwing away leads constantly? 3 times in my first season I was 3-0 up at half time and drew 3-3, a fourth time this happened but I did manage to nick a late winner. This season I've had it happen once and also lost a game 5-4 after leading 4-0 at half time. I find regularly though I'm good first half and terrible in second half's. Is that likely a fitness issue, or are AI managers just better at reacting to things on the go whilst I should be more proactive in changing things?

Think the game just decides you’re not winning. I’ve found that shutting up shop usually results in conceding, when I go more attacking than I was I tend to keep my leads.

Hey I know for a fact that a guy on one of the predecessor message boards to this one was able to revive Aerith in the Japanese version of the game, but they removed it for the western audience. A fact! 

The amount of rumours that used to be around games all the time as a kid was crazy. There was always one kid who had every game but could never tell you anything about them.

I remember a PS Magazine ran an article telling how the story of FF8 was going to be a direct sequel of FF7.

I've heard people say that they thought getting to the Shinra Building in FF7 was going to be the end of the game, which baffles me a little. What did they think the other two discs were for?

I was 11 years old I thought I could revive Aerith and the Lara Croft nude cheat existed. 

What was all the ‘Go Woke’ nonsense claims about with Ahsoka?

Just finished season 1, enjoyed it and I’m failing to see what the actual issue was?

I’ve seen shows were issues felt forced in before but there wasn’t anything in this. 

Another British champ in Aspinall, fantastic performance.

Don’t understand anyone calling the Prochazka stoppage early.

The majority curse could strike again...

Least it’ll be a laugh if it does.

Rangers battering the racists last night.

2-1 should have been 4 or 5. All aboard the Clement train.

I’ve had occasions with 6 or 7 out but it’s not like that’s not realistic. On the flipside I have times were I’ve got nobody injured for a month of back to back games. 

I think people react horribly when it doesn’t go their way in game. The only thing it doesn’t simulate well is players being off the boil if they missed pre-season injured.

I just checked a bunch of random matches from my first season as I wasn't sure about the subs thing, and teams seem to be making plenty of them at regular intervals against me.

In some games they only made two, but others all 5 were made. Often the first is 65mins plus, but in a game where I played Brighton, they made all five. One at HT, another shortly after and then three more late on. I don't doubt that it probably needs tweaking but it's not completely broken.

I had Onana get injured twice consecutively, and despite injuring his finger in a match towards the end of the season, didn't miss any time because of it.

Injuries have been ramped up as a whole though. I've always got 2/3 out minimum, and sometimes 5 or 6.

Yeah I’ve had no issues with subs either.

They modelled the injuries on Rangers I’m afraid. 😂

My 11 year old mind was blown when I got through Midgar and realised there was a whole new world to explore the second biggest game I’d played at that point was Crash Bandicoot having three islands. So that moment just before that realisation in the soundtrack I’ve always loved, not even sure what I love about it.

Do love ‘Price of Freedom’ also though.

Spiritfarer... it was a pretty alright game, where the ending just wrecked me. 

Had that for ages and still not played, I really need to start looking at my backlog rather than the next shiny new game.

Stumbled to 4 promotions in a row with Scunthorpe just from some really lucky loan signings on deadline days and the discovery of Shola Shoretire. Started the Championship season not too badly with some of the easier games at first. 

Although the top two's wage bills are 1.8m a week, 23rd lowest is 250k and then there's me with 155k.
