I've started a game with Leyton Orient. 3 milllion in debt expected to be relegated and no good players. Should be fun

**Cactus Sid** · 03-07-2005, 07:30 PM

Finally had our blip. Didn't help playing Chelsea and Arsenal away from Anfield. Also threw away a 2 goal lead against Villa in between those.

Anyway, won our Champions League group (Werder, Deportivo and Celtic) but Bellamy got sent off against Werder for being a twat (what's new) so I put him on the list.

Currently pissing all over Bolton, seem to be over the worst.

**Ogen** · 03-07-2005, 09:00 PM

12 games in with Orient one win and bottom of the table. Really shit team

**Cactus Sid** · 03-07-2005, 09:31 PM

Found my first real criticism of the game

Didi Hamann wants to be in the first team....fair enough.

I don't however need to be told everyday.

**Wengerland** · 03-08-2005, 08:51 PM

Anyone up for an online game at some time? like a few people i mean. Me, Ogen and i'm pretty sure Montana are alright to play so far.

Hopefully it won't die after one day like the old one

**Ogen** · 03-08-2005, 08:53 PM

Right was talking to Wengerland about getting a multiplayer game going with a few cunts off here and what not. Don't want too many about 5 max I'd say or it'll be too slow so anyone who fancies it reply here or MSN me at Spoons_For_All@hotmail.com or something.

**Cactus Sid** · 03-08-2005, 08:57 PM

I would but for the new job

Second season with Liverpool, everyone hates me because we drew 5 out of our first 6 games. So hey....I turn the season around, we've won our last 7 games in all competitions, and they still hate me

**Wengerland** · 03-08-2005, 08:59 PM

I still remember the other one, when you were sacked after about 3 games, good times

happy birthday aswell

**Cactus Sid** · 03-08-2005, 09:12 PM

I am disgusted that the Liverpool board would not sanction the fining of every player.

Cheers

**Wengerland** · 03-09-2005, 09:38 AM

I don't know if it's just the new patch but something that's annoying me is that you can't loan players till the end of the season, or is that just with those who aren't loan listed?

2nd in October with Leicester so far.

**Dazz** · 03-09-2005, 10:01 AM

I wish my connection wasn't 56.6K

online games are great

**The Mackem** · 03-09-2005, 07:14 PM

How does it work online?

**Wengerland** · 03-09-2005, 07:17 PM

Someone hosts it and give people the i.p, everyone joins and then from there it's just like a normal game, only you can chat and it takes quite a while longer.

**The Mackem** · 03-09-2005, 07:24 PM

Do you have to wait for each player to end their turn?

**Wengerland** · 03-09-2005, 07:32 PM

Yeah, on 03/04 it came up with 'player waiting' in the corner, but it doesn't seem to do that on this one, so you'll have to check on game status whether people are playing or waiting. If you're the host then you can force people to continue though, or set a time limit for each turn.

**Ogen** · 03-09-2005, 10:14 PM

Yeah the best way to do it is have a forced time limit most of the time but allow people to connect up to the host and search for players and what not at other times so everyones not waiting while the games on. Would you be up for it Mackem?

**The Mackem** · 03-10-2005, 12:45 PM

I think we should have a test run for it or something to see how it works.

Which patch update do I need?

**Ogen** · 03-10-2005, 03:13 PM

Latest one. 5.0.3

**Ogen** · 03-10-2005, 03:20 PM

http://www.sigames.com/downloads.php...d=240&file=375 that one. What connection have you got btw? Trying to see whos fastest to host.

**Wengerland** · 03-10-2005, 03:23 PM

For some reason it lets me play online on one PC, but not at the other. Nothing would load when i had 'run as server' ticked, not even my 1 player game, so that might have been why i couldn't join that test one you set up, Ogen

Won all my derby matches so far (away to Derby and Cov, home to Forest) and beat Leeds 5-1 at Elland Road

**The Mackem** · 03-11-2005, 08:45 PM

I already downloaded the "with data" patch. Mine is 576.0 kbps

**Ogen** · 03-13-2005, 01:09 PM

Another new patch out to fix the chairmen being mentalists 5.0.5

**The Mackem** · 03-14-2005, 03:02 PM

What?

**Wengerland** · 03-14-2005, 03:23 PM

We've started a game now Mackem, get the patch

**Wengerland** · 03-14-2005, 06:28 PM

lost the first 3 games on the online game, though i wasn't in charge of the 2nd

Man City

**Ogen** · 03-15-2005, 02:18 PM

I lost to RBF tbh

after all my player insturcions were defaulted for some reason

**Wengerland** · 03-29-2005, 04:26 PM

fuck me, i've just had a superb end to the season.

I'm Newcastle in the game at my mums, and i pretty much counted my title chances out as i was about 10 points behind and drew at home with Arsenal, who were top, even though i had a few games in hand. Anyway, they started getting poor results and i kept winning and in my penultimate game beat Man City to go top by a point, fielded a weak team in the UEFA Cup semi 2nd leg cause Juve raped my first team at St. James', and i wanted everyone fit for the premiership games.

In the last games of the season i was at Villa, and Arsenal away to Man U, Arsenal basically needed to better my result, cause they had the better goal difference. I took the lead early on but then it went shite, and i was 3-1 down with 20 left (Arsenal game still 0-0) so i went all out attack and Ameobi scored with his first touch pretty much. After that they were back in control though, and by the 90th minute i was going to make a change to throw my whole team forward or something. Villa had a corner as i clicked to check tactics but i had to wait and all, i got the corner cleared and Robbie Elliott (

) played a great ball down the left for Ameobi, and it was 2v2 at the back. Ameobi cut in, played a GREAT ball to the back post and Kluivert nods it in to get me level.

Arsenal's game finished 0-0 so i won the league, get in

Playing Chelsea in the cup final soon aswell.

**deathtrap** · 04-03-2005, 07:05 AM

MuzzE knows how great Van Der Vaart is from my constant tales

**Mr. Monday Morning** · 04-03-2005, 08:48 AM

Built the best team ever using Chelski's money (

)

Cech
Puyol
Ferdinand
Terry
Heinze
Joaquin
Gerrard
Lampard
Robben
Adriano
Ibrahimovic

**deathtrap** · 04-03-2005, 10:19 AM

Van Der Vaart over Robben

**Mr. Monday Morning** · 04-03-2005, 10:01 PM

Robben just won World and European Footballer and European Midfielder of the Year

**Wengerland** · 04-04-2005, 02:38 PM

Yeah i bought van der Vaart for Newcastle in the summer, been my best player so far but the team hasn't done well anyway.

**The Mackem** · 04-04-2005, 02:55 PM

I never got that patch

**Cactus Sid** · 04-12-2005, 10:41 AM

Actually started playing it again recently

On my Liverpool game I'm into my third season, and things are starting to come together.

First Season, finished 5th, got to the Uefa Cup final

Second Season, finished 4th, won the Uefa Cup and the FA Cup

Didn't quality for the Champions League because England lost there 4 places

It made no sense considering Arsenal and Man U got to the Champions League semis, and I won the Uefa, but there you go.

Third season, 12 games played, won 11 drawn 1, going well in all cups, its gonna be our season.

Annoying thing, I played Maccabi Tel Aviv, absolutely destroyed them, but they had this defensive midfielder who was absolutely awesome, and scored a 40 yard screamer, ended up with a 9. I thought I'd get him for January, because he was class, his stats were amazing.....and he was one of those grey players

Anyway, here's the side (first and second XI)

FIRST XI

Cassano.........Makaay

Kewell

Van Der Vaart..................................Luis Garcia

Xabi Alonso

Riise...... Huth......Woodgate......Jankulovski

Kirkland

SECOND XI

Maxi Lopez.........Cisse

Joe Cole

Kily Gonzalez..................................Schneider

Galasek

Chivu...... Hyppia......Carragher......Glen Johnson

Dudek

Also in the Squad:
Damien Duff (Never Fit)
Andrea Gasbaronni (Italian Right Winger, bought as back up in January last season)
Zinedine Zidane (Bit Player, Injured)
Claudio Lopez (Rotated)

Rotting in the Reserves:
Recber Rustu (Officially our Number 3 keeper)
Mahmadou Diarra (Bosman, Backup for Midfield and Defence)
Serginho (Hasn't played a league game, but has been awesome in the League Cup)
Shunsuke Nakamura (Bosman, Japanese Merchandise

)
DeMarcus Beasley (Bought because I needed Right Wingers)
Fernando Morientes and Patrick Kluivert (Lose Out to the new comers, and didn't score enough last season)

**deathtrap** · 04-12-2005, 11:35 AM

My team:
Robinson
Heitinga
Gardner
King
Vanden Borre
Jarosik
Van Der Vaart
Karagounis
Davies
Kanoute
Robinho

With Dyer, Cerny, Oliseh, Flamini/Davis and Mido/El Hamadouei on the bench

**Cactus Sid** · 04-15-2005, 09:53 PM

Ha Ha, I love it

Was talking to my mate down the pub about why FM2005 is better than CM5, so thought I'd come home and finish off my season, then decided I'd just play til I won the title.

Anyway, 33rd game of the season, we're 8 points ahead of Arsenal, who've played 35, a win will give Liverpool their first title since 1990.

First half, Makaay gives us the lead over Middlesbrough, things look peachy.

Then.....Boateng bangs one in from 25 yards, and its level.

I'm gutted because I wanted the title tied up before we play Inter in the Uefa Semis, so I could rest some players, and so we could win it "At the new ground" rather than away from home.

Minutes are ticking by....

Adam Pearson, one of our young guns, started the season worth 100,000 now worth 5 million, crosses from the left, and there, coming in with the header to win Liverpool the title.....

On-Loan Arsenal midfield Francesc Fabregas

in his last game for us before he returns to Arsenal.

Thats loyalty to the Liverpool cause, tried to get him on a season-long loan at the start of the season, but he broke his leg, signed him on the last day of the transfer window, for 3 months, and has been absolutely amazing, and scores the championship winning goal

Shame we are in so much debt, I'd try and sign him in the summer...

Fucking hell this is insane

Thursday 3rd of May 2007 - Inter Milan (H) Uefa Cup Semi Final Second Leg
FRIDAY 4TH OF MAY 2007 - Man Utd (H) Premier Division
SUNDAY 6TH OF MAY 2007 - Newcastle (H) Premier Division

Are they trying to kill my team??

Thankfully we dicked Inter 3-0, gonna have to field a seriously inexperienced side against United

**deathtrap** · 04-16-2005, 10:26 AM

In the QF of the Champions League, quarters of the FA Cup. Second in the table.

Robinho and Kanoute are awesome, 60 goals between them.

Big wins include 7-0 vs Everton, and 1-8 away at Sunderland, in succession.

**The Mackem** · 04-21-2005, 07:04 PM

Man, there'd have been a riot after that game.
