Football Manager 2009

[samlcfc]

I hate the injuries you get on this. Ive started a new game with Notts County and had more than one injury every match for the first six matches. Campbells was injured for 2 weeks came back and lasted 15 minutes before getting injured for another 4 weeks.

[Fox92]

It's good, if it's still like it was and his finishing is like, 19 as well.

Yep his finishing is 18 on mine

I do that all the time. Cant stop myself.

Its funny when your players miss an easy chance and it says 'Even his manager has his head in his hands' and it is actually correct!

I know, that's what happens all the time!

[The Blur]

Swap Maradona for Schneiderlin when he's back from the Olympics and that's it.

Media prediction is 14th but I'd be disappointed if I finished lower than 10th.

Beat Wigan 2-0 away in my first game so good start.

Diego Maradona as the hand of the god dude?

Am doing well with City, 6th in the table- knocked out of Carling Cup semi final by Chelsea on 2-1 agg but am home against Forest in 5th round of FA cup so that should be great

My line up is the following

S.Taylor ( A.Villa free)

Mattock ( Already at City) Lescott ( Everton free) Kisnorbo ( Already at City) Spector ( West Ham free)

Wesolowoki ( Already at City)

Srna ( Shatkhar free) Haas ( Make up player) Bailey ( 5 million Charlton)

Trejo ( Real Mallorca free) Barnes ( Made up player promoted from youth team)

Notable subs included De Guzman, Duff, Danny Murphy, Brian Howard, Buzkay, A.Johnson and Benjani

Original City players still in the squad is Fryatt,Porter, Tunchev,Logan and King

[AjcW]

Decided to be charlton on the update.

Turned shelvey into a striker(retrained) 7 Goals in 8 Games... next to Deon Burton 8 in 8.

Shelvey is a beast. Some of the angles he scores from are scary.

16 as well!

Tell me about it!

I'd probably not have my head in my hands unless it was an ABSOLUTE sitter and I was in disbelief... normally I'm screaming at the poor computer, swearing and possibly even chucking a nearby pen or something across the room... I get FAR too into it... but then again, it seems to be paying off... my fortunes have turned and am now 5th in the Championship with Leicester and have just been knocked out in the Carling Cup Quarter-Finals to Man City... very lucky run to get that far though... all Championship teams or lower.

Anyone else wave there arms about and tell players too pass like you think they can hear you??

Same here, I get far to much in to it! I have broke the computer desk bit where the mouse sits so much it is buggered!

[AjcW]

I just got absolutely raped silly by leicester in my second championship game!!

Leicester playing some of the best football imaginable.

Wait until you hear who was upfront.

Dj campbell and...... new signing.... Tommy Wright.... yes that tommy wright.

[Fox You Forest]

He's at Leicester on my Notts game too, Micky Adams is manager also.

[The Blur]

I hate annoying glitch on FM09 that a club always sign same player such as Man City and Veleso on mine!!

Pearsons still the manager and we are playing like brazil, they just beat my charlton side 6-1!!

[StanSP]

Andres Guardado always to Liverpool on mine.

Marek Hamsik always to Arsenal.

[potter3]

It's meant to happen like that, AI managers have shortlists at the start of the game.

[Fox92]

Has anyone ever had it when a transfer in real life goes through on the game such as Lescott has moved to Manchester City on mine. It's great.

[Fox92]

Yes and I make out that I am in the dougout and the Chelsea fans are sat to my right

Higuain & Gago.

Randomly signed them, next day they signed for Real Madrid. I think they signed together but I was freaked out to say the least!

[dandannieldanok]

Started a Fulham game the other week. Went terribly, got sacked in February as we were rock bottom of the premiership. TOP Oss in the Dutch second division took me on (who were 2nd botttom of the league), got through to the end of their season and in the summer brought 25 players in and shipped 29 players out. In the new season we started well but I got bored so after about 10 games and about 4/5th in the league, I resigned. Now got the Millwall job who are rock bottom of League One.

Eventful to say the least.

That's like something that happened to me.

There I was, late one night playing Fifa 2003. I was playing as Chelsea, for some reason they have no limit to their budget. Now Abramovich had taken over a couple of weeks before, but still, how the fook?! So that freaked me out firstly. Anyway, with no limit I obviously starting splashing out on lots of players, 2 of which were Joe Cole and Seba Veron in a double signing. Nexy day, I switch on SSN and there they are being unveiled by Ranieri! Couldn't believe it.

[Wilkesy]

Started one with Man City as i love money!

First season came 4th in Prem and won the Uefa Cup, but have just left them in December in my 2nd season as Inter offered me the job - they are currently 8th in Serie A, so i fancied the challenge to take them back to the top and they have also given me 105m to spend in January.

My Man City team when i left was:

Mandanda

Azpilicueta / Luiz / Chiellini / Bridge

Srna / Dzagoev / Veloso / Zhirkov

Vagner Love / Aguero

Think i may go back and raid them

[AjcW]

Nico Medina is awesome. What a beast.

Gotta be honest with you mate, he was shit so I sold him to swansea when I got promoted to the championship, he is currently doing sweet fa for them while I have shelvey, burton and a young brazilian banging in the goals and firing me to third in the league in november, really happy with my start to the season.
