Haven't played for ages.

Promoted via playoffs in first year, 12 games in second season I'm fifth with 7 wins.... not bad at all IMO. Beat Sunderland 4-0 at the SoL on opening day!

Not Football Manager, but CM01/02 but I don't care (what a rebel, hey?)...

Something quite strange just happened. My centre back at Real Madrid kicked an Espanyol player and got sent off. In Spain you get an automatic one match ban and then they decide if they should extend it. I appeal every ban for the sake of it. A week later the FA got back to me (well it posted a message in my news) saying that he had been suspended for a further 8 games (blinkpip et al, that's a total of 9 mate :)). Then a couple of days after, they then deicded to revoke the whole ban. Oddness.

Just dropped Carlisle for Watford in league 1..... alot harder challenge than i thought, they have a crap squad with no decent youndgsters, no money and no wages funds, what a joke..... 1st game in charge: beat Hull 4-2 at home though, obviously form is temporary, class is permanent, just like me :wink:

I've really not got into it lately, though I've tried to play a bit. I'm 4th in my first season I think. I've not really settled on a tactic yet.

I can't wait. Already decided that I'm gonna be Weymouth in my first game (if my computer can take it). I would get it off MSN or Kazzaa or whatever, but it's been tradition for the last 11 years to get it on Xmas day. Then I can really get to grips with it whilst watching the boxing day Test in South Africa.  8)

In 2037 on Cm 01/02. I epxect I'll play it up until Xmas day.

I have just got Swindon to the premiership. It went down to the wire this season but I just about managed to win the championship, kenny lunt, rhys evans and igoe all made the team of the year. They've given me a 600k transfer budget even though I got 12m from tv rights. :evil:  but I've signed up some quality players on frees so hoping to avoid relegation.

I am now in 2009.

2004/2005. In my first season I got town into the play-offs. In the first season I finished 5th and played Bradford. Won the first leg at home 6-2. Decided to rest my best players for the final and ended up losing 6-1!  

2005/2006 Second season I finished second easily. Had to sell Parkin to Norwich for £1 million as he wouldn't sign a new contract and Fallon ended up being top scorer in the league with a value of 3.3 million

2006/2007 Struggled in the championship with a fairly small squad. Relegation looked a certainty until I messed about with tactics and ended up a creditable 19th.

2007/2008 Decided to strengthen squad significantly as I made a bit of money from transfer wheeling and dealings. Signed (what I thought) some class players, Carl Cort, Henri Camara, David Graham etc etc but couldn't find a winning trend. Decided Fallon wasn't cutting it in the championship and sold him for 1.3 million to Bristol City. Tinkered about with tactics again, bought some dodgy foreigners who turned out to be quite good and ended up finishing 22nd, just escaping relegation.

2008/2009. My best season yet so far. Found a winning tactic (5-3-2) and strenghtened my squad with quality foreign players. Started off well and was top after 16 games. Then lots of injuries hit me and I started to go through a bad spell. Good cup run has kept my season alive, and I am limping along in 10th in the league. Away to Watford (League 1) in the 5th round of the cup so great chance to get to the quarters.

I started a game with my mate as Peterhead in Scottish league 3. I played my trusty 5-3-2 formation and ended up beating East Stirling 10-0 at home and beat Berwick in the cup 8-0 at home!!

Go on the heed!!

Fuck knows...well they were in my corridor last year but my corridor was quite small and they weren't as evil!! It was just easier for us to get a house altogether but I shoulda known.

I wish my house had it's own bar...mite tempt the girls to have a drink and some fun  :(  They don't ever go out anymore (unlike the first year). I have concluded I did something  :evil:  and  :twisted: in a past life!
