Kou is almost as demanding as my board.

[Guest Kou]

Ian Ashbee must be your captain and vice-captain. No exceptions.

[Adam]

This game is unbelievable sometimes. Ive just lost a game 2-1 to a goal in the 98th minute. 6 minutes were added on and that was due to the excessive fouling of the Everton team that beat me. Injustice!

[Guest Kou]

Yeah, fuck Tony Hibbert.

[DavidMarrio]

Wow that was harsh that on you Adam.

I hate injustice defeats it really winds you up. Prime example on a previous game was when i was Liverpool against Bayern and somehow missed chances by my team led to a penalty shootout and they didn't deserve to even be in a penalty shootout. My dominance over two legs, I think i limited them to like 5 shots over two games against my numerous shots...Blatent goals overturned because linesmen said it was offside that annoyed me...Champions League Semi Final and they beat me on pens.

Couldn't believe it felt like punching the monitor robbed of a Champions League final. Gutted

What is everyones bogey team on FM?

For some weird reason it would always end up being Man.City they'd somehow get a counter attack goal and just steal a victory from me

[Adam]

Birmingham are my bogey team at the top, down in the lower leagues its Yeovil, which definitely mirrors reality.

[Gazz]

West Brom.

Liverpool and Man United - easy three points. Arsenal and Chelsea, home wins, usually draw away. West Brom, either struggle and manage to nick a win or play hopelessly and lose.

[Bluebirds]

Wigan and their massive in length pitch are my bogey team/stadium.

Seriously, have a look how long the JJB Stadium pitch is in comparison to others.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

I seem to have a few bogey teams, Oldham down the leagues and for some reason Derby in the Premier League. Fuck knows why. Currently heading into my third season with Man City (the Thai era not afterwards) and have managed to sneak into the Uefa Cup for this year with a League Cup win over Everton and 6th place in the league. My team at the moment is looking like this:

(4-4-2 Diamond:) 1. Handanovic - GK, 4. Onohura - RB, 2. Garrido - LB, 22. Dunne - CB, 16. Corluka - CB, 3. Motta - DM, 9. Bellushi - RM, 12. Petrov - LM, 11. Elano - AMC, 8. Lita - CF, 14. Palacio - CF

(Subs:) 13. Hart - GK, 18. Bouhlarouz - CB, 7. Ireland - AMC, 15. De Guzman - AMC, 10. Bianchi - SC

Apart from a lot of my players trying to leave I have a good squad here, finally reaching its potential so hopefully more cup glory this year!

[King Ellis]

Reading are a bit of a bogey for me.

[The Kraig]

Any team which I have previously managed. It's really fucking annoying me. I know I should probably stop making friendlies with my old clubs...but it's the nice thing to do!

And if it's a cup I know I'm screwed. I've tried keeping the seem tactics, I've tried changing them, I've tried letting my assistant pick, I very rarely win. Even a draw with a horrendously lower club can suck.

[Cabral_]

Reading for me too.

Kevin Doyle and Leroy Lita have scored way too many goals against me. The better team i am, the more they usually score aswell.

[Joey Eire]

I started a game on FM2007 the other day in work out of bordom, and took over Australia with just the Australian league loaded. Im really into it now, its flying along, just been knocked out of the 2010 World Cup after a 7-0 drubbing by Argentina!

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

Im curious, in the editor, if I add a B team and swap them with a Blue Square North team, will the game start as normal and have said B team in BSN?

[Mr.Chile]

no, the england league will be disabled, i tryed that in the chilean league and the league just dissapear

[Gazz]
