Football Manager 2012

[Lineker]

Bilbao duh.

[Hobo]

This match was a bit crazy, but back to back MLS wins! Seems like I can always trust Eric Hassil to save us in big games.

Swansea City, OGC Nice, Borussia Dortmund, FC Twente, Napoli, Benfica, Athletic Bilbao, or Shaktar Donesk.

[jack95]

I'm kind of in an FM rut. Can someone give me a random country they've had fun managing in before? Excluding UK & Ireland.

Oh my god. Are they on the game?

Please be on the game.

[Lineker]

They are! Over Christmas you had to play against them to get a festive achievment!

[Fudge]

Oh shit, I'm gonna manage them.

Santa Claus for the Champions League!

I'd like to see someone else but myself take on the Dutch league.

I had a game of two seasons with them but I can't remember if I unlocked a league to be able to play them or not. I managed to get them promoted once but obviously they have no money as a shitty Finnish club. They play in red obviously

[Fudge]

I think I need a league expansion for Santa Claus

[stokeriño]

Yeah. They're certainly not available in the default game.

[Fudge]

Just gonna replace a team in the second tier with them, cba fucking around. I changed their stadium to The North Pole though.

[stokeriño]

I would have gone for "The Grotto".

[Fudge]

Much better!

[The Lusophone]

Fuck Excelsior. Injured two of my star players.

[Hobo]

EXCELSIOR!

[DavidMarrio]

Damn this Pompey game can be frustrating. I went on a run from the 2nd November to the December 31st of only getting one win which doesn't help league standings. Currently 14th after 25 games (If I didn't start on -10pts I would be 5th) and I drew with Spurs 3-3 in the FA Cup 3rd round at home so i've got a replay away which should get some money but kill my teams fitness so its a mixed reaction.

The frustrating thing is I have conceded some really gut wrenching goals in the dying moments such as in the Spurs game or when I got beat by Derby and Reading in the 90th minute. That and the fact I have lost Greg Halford, Ricardo Rocha, Joel Ward, Marko Futacs in the space of a week. I am not that fussed about Futacs and Ward its the loss of Rocha and Halford being half of my back four meaning I will have to play kids at the back that I don't really want to

Also the lack of a takeover whatsoever is depressing and I cannot get anyone in on loan because I can't afford to pay wages because Ben Haim and Mokoena are on stupid amounts of money and all the money I make on selling people goes to paying the clubs debts.

It is challenging though and I like that.

[Crybaby Bunting]

You think it's challenging now? When FM13 hits Portsmouth will be playing in League 1 with Ben Haim still on the books D:

[DavidMarrio]

Ben Haim will probably bugger off at the end of the season along with a few others considering the contracts they have are going to expire and well I can't afford to offer them anymore than £90 quid a week.
