Football Manager 2012

Gonna play the shit out of FM this weekend.

Parkvilla have not started well in the Premier League. Lost the opener to Cork, won the next three. Even beating early pace setters St Pats but defensively we are shaky. I've decided that Stack doesn't cut it anymore as #1 keeper.

Also I splurged 13 million on Jonjo Shelvey.

[Fudge]

Bargain.

[Hobo]

At the moment it's looking to be a tight league title battle between Parkvilla and Cork City. We keep swapping 1st and 2nd.

Also David Bentley already wants out of his one year deal. Daryl Murphy wants out. Rivaldo wants to go and Fowler is gone.

First time we fill out Claremount Stadium is against Anderlecht in a mid season friendly! We win 3-0!

[Berober]

I think I might end up having to leave Morton after a year, if we don't get a big enough Europa payday, I just don't see where the money is coming from to keep me in the division, and I had to suggest a top half finish just to get some sort of wage budget :/

[Hobo]

Just beat defending Airtricity league Champions Sligo Rovers 7-0. I think 4-1-2-1-2 will remain my home formation.

[stokeriño]

Just wrapped up Serie A with five games to go. In spite of this, the team has gone a bit off the boil lately, no doubt thanks to playing two games a week for several months in a row. Even Ochieng has been a bit lacking for goals lately, but he's at least scraped past the 70 goal mark. Hoping he'll have at least 80 by the end of the season (since there's still the Europa League and Coppa Italia to play in too).

[Hobo]

4-2-3-1 just doesn't work for me this season. My team has a lot of attacking wide players but we just don't have someone capable of being a lone forward it seems.

I just realised my new keeper Mexican Talavera has been given #4 jersey.

[Hobo]

I'm on the brink of signing Robbie Keane.

Just another cog in the Parkvilla machine!

[Lineker]

He'll be delighted to be joining his boyhood club!

Life without Torres is going quite well, although he's stepped up his game at Barca and living up to (somewhat) his inflated price tag. Not enjoying a potential match against them, although in three seasons I've yet to encounter them. I always seem to draw French teams ¬_¬. Anyway, with Mata now injured, I've been forced to change formation again. This time I'm trying to train Kroos to be better at DM as I've opted for a 4-2-1-3 formation with no clear cut striker again. However, I tweaked Neymar and Cavani's settings so that they'd stay higher up the pitch and not drop back so much. It's helping me enjoy this Chelsea game quite a bit, and I'm trying to integrate lots of youngsters in at the same time. It's fun not destroying everyone all the time and actually having to fight for points, hoping to have a complete squad overhaul in the next couple of seasons with everyone being under 24 except Neymar and Hazard.

[Hobo]

We shall play his actual boyhood club Crumlin United to welcome him! He will be conflicted.

[Lineker]

Won the title with Spurs at Arsenal. Sweet revenge!

Now to beat Man Utd in the CL final at Wembley!

[Hobo]

Parkvilla, Treble Winners!

Look at our shiny trophies:

UEFA Champions League next season!

[King Ellis]

Beating Juventus at home with Shelbourne and George Ndah getting on the scoresheet is still one of my fondest FM memories.

[Hobo]

Last friendly result is by far the best:

Parkvilla 6-1 Aston Villa

[Berober]

You are dead to me.

[Gazz]

Last friendly result is by far the best:

Parkvilla 6-1 Aston Villa

Parkvilla vs Pelsall Villa is the real glamour tie.

[Lineker]

Nii Lamptey!!

I've heard rumours about a file that needs to be deleted in order for the German and Japanese national teams to have IRL players getting actual caps. How do I do this?
