I started a new game the other day as Ipswich Town. Not doing too well tbh, 21st in the league, played 6 games. Alex Bruce and Lewis Price have been magnificiant, Bruce putting his body on the line at all costs, whilst Price has been keeping me in the games. Played Southampton last, with a good 1-1 draw ( Good due to the fact that 'Hampton are 1st ), Price really did keep me in the game, as Burley decided to play an 4-2-4 in the last 20 minutes, which really had my heart pounding. About 7 shots in 20 minutes for them, about 2 for me. Billy Clarke also played an acceptable game. Bruce was the scorer, with an corner from Currie and headed in by Brucey. Rudi Skacel scored for them, with an follow up from Price' s brilliant stop from Brett Ormerod' s ferocious shot. Here' s my Starting Line-Up:
--------------------------Price------------------------------
Wilnis/Richardson-----De Vos--------Bruce-------------Harding
-------------------Garvan--------Magilton/Williams/Upson-----
Brittian----------------------------------------------Roberts
----------------------Lee-------Clarke----------------------
The injury list at Ipswich is quite big ( Naylor, Macken, Boto, Haynes, Williams ) And suspended ( Marcus Stewart, Gary Roberts ). Stewart headbutted another player, whilst Roberts kicked another one. That Leam Richardson is a good player actually, I asked Gary Roberts if he could recommend a player, and he did ( Richardson ). Also after Riera on loan from Barcelona, they' ve rejected about 4 times in total. Although I am in the bottom 4, I am really enjoying it.

I'm doing very well at the moment, after been predictied to finish 17th in the league, I'm coming 7th with 21 points, just 3 off a play off spot, had a easy qualifying run to the FA Cup, with games against non-league teams, Boreham Wood (A), I won 1 - 0, and Billericay (A), won 1 - 0. But I got drawn against Burton Albion away, which was very tough, but I managed a 0 - 0 away draw, and going to play the replay at home, so hopefully I'll get near 1000 attendance :w00t

I'm through into the 1st round of the FA Cup :w00t
Beat Burton 3 - 1
and got 1126 attendence for the game, highest in the ground ever :w00t
I was down 1 - 0 at half time, after a defensive error, back passed it but missed the defender striker pounced and made it 1-0. Rallied the team, and told them to do it for the fans, they came out and my loanee Jon-Paul Pittman, who is quailty scored and I was jumping around the room, Burton then had a great chance 1-1 but he fluffed it wide, then Jeffrey, one of my free agent signings was put through on goal by Pittman he rounded the keeper and scored, I couldn't fucking believe it, then Pittman put it to bed rounded the keeper and made it 3 - 1. Pittman got MOTM for his 2 goals and his assist
Got 10k for winning aswell :w00t , vital funds to a small club.
Playing Doncaster away so will get more funds, planning on playing my ultra defensive, counter attacking, slow tempo tactic for that game, and maybe I can get a replay at home.
Cardiff here I come :w00t

Just started a new Tottenham file,
I sold Danny Murphy for £3.2 million but I am yet to sign anyone, although it is only July.
I have played 3 friendlies so far, I beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 with goals from Defoe, Berbatov and Lennon, I beat Queens Park 6-0 with goals from Defoe (2), Berbatov (3) and Ziegler and I drew with St.Mirren 1-1 with Keane scoring.
I have got bids in for Gareth Barry (£7m) and Morten Gamst Pedersen (£6.75m) at the moment.

My FA Cup run has ended :crymore:
Lost 2 - 1 away against Doncaster, the cunts
They scored early, but we equailzed in the 42nd minute with a 30 yard curling free kick off the post, but then right at the end of the half they got a deflected shot in, but the lads did the team proud and I got over 40k for playing, due to over 4000 being at Doncaster, I got some match fee or something and my bank is up to 94.31k, a season high :w00t.
Up to 6th in the league, 3 points off a play off spot with a game in hand, playing away against 9th, so I'm going to have my work cut out, but the team is playing very well, hopefully I can bounce back.
The board and the fans are both delighted with my performances, yet they are only 'satisfied' with the clubs financial status even though the club finanical balance has increased 72.73k pounds since I've been at the club, can't they ever be happy?
And one of my centrebacks has played 11 out of 20 games yet wants to leave because he isn't getting first team football, and he is my highest earning player, he can fuck off the cunt :ninja:

Started with England. Won my first 6 matches. Also took charge of U21s. David Beckham is a fucking legend.
Got offered a job at Campenense(Brazillian Div 3 team). They have decent young players but no transfer money. And a wage budget of whopping £200 :mellow: Currently first with a fine budget of £17k(wage) and £0 transfer. I rock.
My whole season summed up in a few lines :tongue:

Some fucker has it in for me.
Just knocked Arsenal out of the CL in the second round 5-3 on aggregate, a 3-2 win away and a 2-1 win at home after Henry got sent off for elbowing Maldini.
Now my fixtures look like this:
April 3: Inter Milan (away) - CL quarter-final first leg
April 7: Inter Milan (home) - Serie A
April 10: Inter Milan (home) - CL quarter-final second leg
:no:

Deleting your posts again :ninja:
I'm switching between my Liverpool game and my Alfreton Town game at the moment, my Alfreton game is going well, up to 6th in the league, behind 5th on goal difference.
And my finances and 97k so I'm pretty happy
My Liverpool game is going alright coming 4th, and my points lead over 5th place, Everton is increasing quite a bit, it's now 6 points, and Aston Villa are the 5th place team, I've got a game in hand aswell, amd I'm 2 points behind Arsenal but they have a game in hand. I've won 4 games in a row in the Premiership aswell :w00t
But I lost 2 - 1 away against Celtic in the first knockout round 1st leg of the CL, need a better performance in the home game.
Also managed to get Gourcuff on loan from Milan after he had only played 1 game for them, and he is playing quite well for me, going to try and sign him on a permanent deal once my dodgy chairman and board give me some money.
He's one of my stars, along with Seedorf. Since Seedorf has been out however I've employed Suazo behind Iaquinta (who has stopped scoring) and Gilardino/Oliveira (the latter has handed in a transfer request).
Palermo have had an £11.5m bid for Fiorentina's talented young winger Riccardo Montolivo accepted. Where did they get the money from? I want him but don't use wingers. Although he can play centrally it isn't natural for him so I've decided against making a bid - and am instead taking Cesare Bovo who has been their second best player throughout the season.
