He's the 1 in my 1-2-7!

The thing that infuriates me most about that formation is that there's no reason for it not to be a normal '2' just by swapping the DM and MC. Why does it have to be a REVERSE 2?  

Because I invented the Reverse 2.

4-4-2 works just fine, all these foreign formations are overcomplicated rubbish.

[MDK]

I just got given a £42 transfer war chest. And the Scottish have a reputation for being stingy, dunno where that comes from.

No real reason. I was playing two midfielders and I pushed one back for ECC and got a win against Juventus and stuck with it. It just so happened to be that side.

Chairman: "Sorry, Dave in accounting miscalculated, that's actually my Irn Bru allocation for the week."

I would have been less annoyed if they gave me zero for the budget. £42 barely buys me a copy of FIFA for the lads to practise my formation.

Has anyone noticed that the Ask Captain to Intervene actually seems to work sometimes? I can't remember it ever working in the last couple of them.

[Lineker]

It works in 16.

[Arjen Robben]

This seems unfair. May as well have just given me a bye. Cause they'll be given a bye when I'm through with them amirite! Tedious gag.

If you don't qualify you should uninstall the game.

In other news it turns out you can play trialists in The Scottish Irn Bru League Two and The Scottish Haggis.com Cup. League Two is quite fun, I signed one of the crap keepers from Orient on a free just because I wanted an Orient player and it turns out he is a superstar in this league. Same with some non league schmuck I got from Hednesford, he is scoring freely. This is great.

What the hell happened here? The quality of City's appointments really fell off a cliff after Ancelotti. Who the fuck is Rod Stringer?

[The Lusophone]

Current Chelmsford manager.

[Adam]

He's a journeyman non-league manager, how bizarre

77 days. Says it all, really.

Stringer: Right lads, time for some training. When I blow the whistle run that way. When I blow the whistle again, run the other way. And you, Frenchie, no running backwards.

I WILL HEAR NOTHING AGAINST LEE CARSLEY.

I mean where did that sudden jump in level come from, haha. His stats are terrible.

Lee Carsley was a gash monkey.

Sounds like Bill Kenwright cutting corners on his managerial appointment. Stringer, the ultimate bluff man.

Where's Moyes in your game, Arjen?
