got offered the United job after the manager left for Barca but I turned it down and Steve Bruce went there instead.

Were you slightly crying at that virtual news?

What's United like in your game? Among the top?

I once had Arsene Wenger taking over United btw - he was sacked by Arsenal the season or two before.

But this was one of the older FMs, but it was still rather shocking.

nope - they're not unfortunately, one european cup and a couple prem titles and thats it.

Restarted my United game after adding all the january transfers from the main leagues, etc.

Into May 2013, won the league with 3 games left to play, am in the FA Cup final against Stoke and just got through to the Champions League final (vs city who beat Munich in the semis on away goals despite losing the first leg 4-1) after beating Benfica 3-0 at OT in the 2nd leg, despite losing De Gea with broken ribs in the league game before. Have sent Lindegaard on loan to Molde as i had hardly used him so just had to play Sutherland in goal and played a 5 man defence in front of him. Sutherland didnt have much to do as Benfica had only 2 shots on goal.

Have a double header vs city at the end of the season as i play them in the league on the final day - hahahaha they are going to have to watch me lift the trophy in their backyard. Then im gonna hammer them at Wembley.


EDIT - Won the FA Cup 3-0. Put my 17 y/o German Keeper in for it as have been using Sutherland in the league (won 1 and lost 1 with 1 left to play). 2 games left - both vs City. De Gea should be back 2/3 before the CL final - fingers crossed he makes it.

EDIT 2: Well i finished with the treble Beat city 3-2 after being 2-1 down at HT and losing Rooney to injury in the 5th min (RVP was suspended too ) with Nani bagging the winner in the 73rd min.

Into pre-season and only got 28.5mill to spend as the board decided to increase the stadium capacity and loan repayments kicked in. Despite winning the treble the bank balance only says about 50mill

City got Hummels for 45mill (they signed Baines & Kaka amongst others last season) But i managed to bag Neymar for 28mill - don't get him till next summer tho.

Finished 9th / 8th / 8th in the prem in my first 3 seasons.

spent 138mil last season and ill spend as little as possible this season - bought Neymar with 68mil of that 138

I now have as under 18 coaches, Van Nistleroy / C. Ronaldo and under 18's manager Wayne Roonay

completed 10 seasons with Solihul Moors now, On my 11th - missed out on europe again by one place

my three best players (Neymar, Wesley Van Der Lay and a Croatian defender that i cant remember the name of) both said they want to leave unless we win something this year

Out of a 26 man squad, the German national side currently boasts 16 of my Schalke players. The Starting XI for their recent World Cup qualifier had 8 Schalke players.

This must be how Barca and Real Madrid feel.

nice

I've not played for ages and ages, from what i can remember I'm 2nd in the league and i'm into the semi's of the CL

[Bestie]

Whut?

[ScholesEvilTwin]

I know, Stoke AND Wigan still in the PL in 2021?? Its absurd!

And still less that 18000 fans there

[Bestie]

Also, city have just sacked their 8th manager in 11 years. AVB was there, but he left to manage Arsenal. So city will be on their 10th manager in 11 years.

Something funny is going on in the Prem in my game. That Stoke result wasn't a one off.
