| Quote: Andy Gilder "Conceded 21 in 10 games?
Only conceded 28 in my promotion season in 46 games - my first priority on FM at any new club is to get the keeper and back four sorted
Yep, pretty poor stuff. Thankfully I score plenty of goals, 76 in 32 games now. Coming to the business end of the season so I think I'm going to have to try and shore it up a bit now, don't know how though! The players are there, just not the system. Might have to reign in one of my midfielders and see what happens for a start.

| 2nd season at Bradford and sat handily placed in the League 1 play-off places after 20 games. It would be even better if I could get a break from these ridiculous injuries. 3 of my first choice midfield 4 have been laid low for the last month. Just when I get a few players back more get injured.
Key signings this year are Nathan Tyson (15 goals in 18 league games) and Barry Bannan, who can play all across the midfield.

| Started a random game with Leyton Orient in League One. Had two seasons there, finishing mid table both seasons just worked on getting my own team together and getting the club into a bit of shape and sorting the wage situation out. Never had any problems scoring goals but always conceded lots, in my third season things improved and I got them into a play off position, Bristol City came in for me just after Christmas who where 20th in the Premier League and practically relegated but I took the offer because I was scared of failing with Orient and having to spend another season trying to get them into the play offs.
I wrote off the Premier League season, got to the end of the season and released and sold the players who didn't want to be there and tried getting my own team sorted. Resigned some good players who had done well for City in the Championship before and signed some experienced players, including a 37 year old David Beckham. Life in the Championship is going well, played about 13 games in the league and i'm unbeaten at the top, pushed Spurs close in the FA cup losing 2-1. Funnily enough, Leyton Orient came 2nd in League One and gained promotion and are now in the same league, but havn't signed any new players and are using my squad in the Championship with a new manager, i'm interested to see how they get on.

| Anybody ever had a striker have a great couple of seasons, and then really, really struggle til about Febuary/March? i.e. given chances every week tried to keep his confidence up but scoring once every month or something, only to then recover and score 8 goals in two games, doubling his seasonal tally?
Just happened in my Madrid game with Marcus Berg

If you're a lower league side then try to get Dani Pacheco (Liverpool) or Harris Vukic (Newcastle) on loan, they'll score you some much needed goals

| In my 5 seasons at Madrid, got to the CL final three times and Europa final once. 4/5 seasons we have reached a final. The other time being like in real life last year and losing to Lyon in the first KO stage of the CL.
Lost every time! Why can we trounce everyone in the league, knock teams like Barca out in 1/4 and 1/2 finals yet always lose the bloody final!
Even Porto beat us in the Europa final and they didn't do nothing special in their league. We were 2-0 down at half time, two quickfire goals in the second half levelled it and we went in front in ET, only for them to equalise and then beat us 6-4 on pens!
First season against Man Utd, was a trappy game and they sickened us in extra time.
Last season in the CL, Juventus beat us quite convincingly 1-0 and were all over us so no complaints.
However, we were tat against Arsenal this year and lucky to get it to penalties, but unlucky not to win as well. At 1-1 in extra time, we won a pen, Kaka missed, they scored down the other end, we equalised to take it to penalties. Missed 2/5 pens to Arsenal only missing one!
In the final, I don't do anything differently to big game semi finals or big league games so can't see why this happens. Beating the likes of Barca and Atletico in Spanish Cup finals happens for us.

| I've not been on for a while, so decided to start a new game with Tottenham in hope that i can lead them to the top. Only just started the game, and i've chose to gain continental qualification through league position, as i am confident that is possible.
I've only completed pre-season, and so far i've signedIN
Juan Roman Riquelme (£3Million)
Fernando Gago (£4.8Million - Installments)
Jack Rodwell (£15million - Installments)
Out
Kyle Walker (Loan)
Dorian Dervite (Loan)
John Bostock (Loan)
I usually go mad in the transfer window but i've bought just what i needed this time around. I've not really sold anyone, but i believe i've strengthened the midfield quite a bit and added some experience and depth in there. I am looking to maybe sell Bentley and Jenas but no rush, if no-one wants them then its no problem as were in a good position to put up a good challenge. My only problem so far is the morale of my players seem quite bad, and was like that when i came to the club.
I have quite a few injured players to start the season, mainly defenders, the following are all injured:
Ledley King
Vedran Corluka
Johnathon Woodgate
Michael Dawson
Gareth Bale
Eidur Gudjohnson
Quite a crisis really to start the season but King and Corluka aren't too far away, with the rest a few months away. King got injured 3 times in pre-season, so thats quite realistic. My team to start the season is looking as follows:
Gomes
Corluka
Kaboul
Bassong
Assou-Ekotto
Gago (Defensive)
Modric (Attacking/play maker)
Lennon
Riquelme
Kranjcar
Defoe
Bench:
Cudicini
Rodwell
Huddlestone
Palacios
Bentley
Crouch
Pavlyuchenko

| I'm going to try to get back into this after the completely unfair way I was treated following those two takeovers. I still feel bitter about it, really took it personally and against the game too.
