Kevin Schade cracked me up. He just used the English pronounciation of his name instead of the German one. Wouldn't surprise me if some other players did the same.

 

Going to Brentford away on Saturday. Ramsdale will be starting so hoping the fans really get behind him. A chance for him to impress.

 

pretty sure at least 8 united players will shit themselves at goodison at the weekend lol

 

Heard some United fans want to join in with a protest on Sunday. I know they've got a anti-City agenda but a "brothers in arms" kinda thing would be cool.

 

Richarlison open to leaving in January. Curious who we’d bring in to replace him. A lot of links to Santiago Gimenez.

 

Great video

 

Sky Sports' latest news section. No bias, lads!

 

Gonna be sad to see Ramsdale go, and as fans we might not like it, but this is the kind of cut throat decision that only pure winners make. Clearly they think it's the right footballing move, even if everyone seems to love Rammers as a person.

 

Other teams are available.

 

Ashley Phillips now injured. Even our backups’ backups are going down.

 

FM24 is buggy but having fun with, and totally not playing while I work from home.

Got Ipswich promoted to the Premier League after winning the playoffs on penalties. Currently 18th, 2 points off safety with 6 games left where I have to play the current 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th placed teams.
Looks like I'm being relegated guys.

 

I'm about to get Brighton relegated in FM23 and I've no clue how. Took over mid season when they were second bottom, saved them from relegation. If the table was from when I'd took over, we'd have been about 9th. This season though I can't buy a win. Nothing going right, injuries everywhere, new signings not working out. Joint bottom (alongside Tottenham, bizarrely).

 

Spurs are incredibly shite in 23 for some reason. I just transferred my 23 game over to 24 yesterday. Was flying high in 23, 3rd season at United. Unbeaten since the start of the season, winning most games easily. Now on a 5 match winless run and conceding at least 1 goal a game from corners. Something to work on


Last season was probably my favourite FM season in a long time. Rotten start to the season, didn’t pick up a win till the back half of September. Was mid table in November and my tactics just weren’t working. Could not figure it out. Eventually back half of December I got it down and had a storming second half of the season to get top 4 and win the CL. The new Swiss system CL really helped me figure things out as that was front loaded with hard games and gave me 5 easier games at the back half of the group to test things out.

It’s such a fucking thrill when you get your tactics right after a tough stretch.

 

Found scoring enough goals incredibly hard this year, got 12 draws so could have been safe if I could score an extra goal or two.

Holding on to beat Man Utd 2-1 was a big thrill for me.

 

United are insanely OP on it like. After I took Brighton over, it was mainly wins with a quite a few draws. Barely any losses, even beating top 4 sides.

United pumped us 9-0 lmao

 

United are always OP. It’s impossible to sell anyone, but there’s no need to because McTominay becomes peak Vieira with the goal scoring touch of Ronaldo. I think it was fm 20, or 21. I was managing Villa and doing well. United were top by about 15 points with Lingard putting up Messi numbers. It was ridiculous m.

 

Although in saying that Liverpool are crazy good in my current game. Won the league and CL double two years running. With league or CL wins in the previous 3 seasons. Everton haven’t lost to them in a few years though. Swings and roundabouts

 

Man City always do poorly and Pep ends up at some Serie B team or something stupid, Man Utd become amazing, Arsenal have 5 wonderkids per season come through their academy, then some random team will become a top 6 club. FM is wild.

 

Anyone else got the mince pies out yet?

 

Fulham are second going into Jan in my current season.

 

The nerv on Ten Hag to group Varane and Maguire together.

 

I mean Maguire has been leagues better than Varane this season. It’s not even a competition really.

 

Villa just won the Premier League on goal difference from Chelsea.
