If Kimi bothers to show up, we'll see about it.. I'm anticipating a season of mediocrity finishing with a negative goal difference and the inevitable sack.

I'm hoping for 5th place and a cup final.

And a 35 goal haul for Kevin Davies.

If I finish 9th this season and score more goals, I'll view it as a great success. Which is probably why I'm destined to be unemployed because I lack ambition. Shameful, really.

You all need a good dose of Giorgos Samaras.

Although Marica seems fine by himself.

Marica has scored everyone of my goals so far this season, and we're 5 games in. The thing that scares me is that 4 of those were in one game.

Forced to wipe everything of my hard drive and having reinstalled this badboy didn't realise just how many extras i'd downloaded for it. Taking ages to find all the facepacks etc.

You didn't know he was Bosnian?

[shen]

You didn't know he was Bosnian?

Is he Bosnian? Going by his wiki, he's only married to a Bosnian and has subsequently converted to Islam.

I want to start a new game on 2008 but I can never get the tactics right. Even when I stick a normal 4-4-2 down it just doesn't pay off at all, it's like the game tries to keep it realistic all the time even when my team is so much better than the other team it hurts.

Who shall I start as? I'm feeling somewhere exotic like Mexico or Argentina or something, where I usually do well.

[potter3]

My team's just that exciting to watch

[Fox92]

Started the pre-season/start of season.

I basically won the Prem by mid March playing a narrow 4-1-2-1-2

Just played my greatest ever game on Football Manager, not just the 09 edition.

Right, I am Chelsea and I was sitting second in the league with Arsenal being top.

It was a matchday and Arsenal lost at Upton Park, 1-0 to West Ham:D

With it being my chance to go top, I was entertaining Bolton at Stamford Bridge and this is when my greatest ever game took place - it wasn't my greatest ever result but it was sensational in entertainment value.

So the match took place; Chelsea v Bolton:

3mins Mikel 1-0

11mins McCann sent off (Bolton)

24mins Steinsson sent off (Bolton)

34mins Davies injured (Bolton)

58mins Drogba 2-0

60mins Muamba sent off (Bolton)

66mins Ballack 3-0

90mins Mikel 4-0

So, because of Boltons red cards, I ended up playing:

Cech

Mancienne

A Cole

Essien

Mikel

Ballack

Arshavin

Anelka

Drogba

di Santo

Malouda

Bolton ended up playing

Jasskelainan

J O'Brien

Fojut

Cahill

Gardner

Nolan

A O'Brien

Riga

Bolton were shooting from the half way line as they were playing no strikers!

Lovely to get one over Megson.

Record so far:

Played 11

Won 9

Drawn 1

Lost 1

Scored 25

Conceded 2

G Difference +23

I'm surprised they weren't Megsons tactics from the start tbh.

Is there a patch out anywhere with all this seasons changes so far?

[Fox92]

Is there a patch out anywhere with all this seasons changes so far?

I dunno' I can never be bothered to look for them although they are most probably on the FM official website - the link from the FM game menu.

So, I just go ahead and use the editor to change people's clubs such as Wellens, Owen, Arshavin, Tevez etc and it's just the same although it sometimes slow's your system down if you own a low-end system so be sure to have more than 512mb of RAM.
