Finished my 1st season as Aberdeen, finished 5th in the league, was cruising in 3rd before the SPL split but thanks to an end of season slump where i won 0 points i finished 5th, knocked out by Rangers in both Cup quarter finals
Just had to install undersoil heating at a cost of £1.5m, despite fact i already have it installed 
Just secured Arsenal as my parent club, they've loaned me Song and Denilson for this season, shame it's a striker i need 
i did that and got song and denilson off them, denilson is good. Bolton have just nicked my ace youngster, couldn't offer him a contract has he was too young yet they have signed him up?! well pissed off about that.

Right, started my second season.
Got rid of: Emre, Harper, Bernard, Clark, N'Zogbia, and some youngsters.
Recieved: £7.75million
Recruited: Paolo Maldini  , Sisi, Andrew Davies, and best of all David Rozehnal (Awesome defender from PSG)
Spent: £2.5million
Played 10, won 5, drew 4 lost 1 and i'm joint first
The board and fans are loving it. I put it down to tightening my defence and less injuries.

Started with Southend yesterday. After a bad start im now 12th and the size of my squad / amount of injuries is unreal.
Got a great away win at Leeds, Leicester and Sunderland and also lost by some big scorelines aswell 
So far so good but I have a long way to go at the min!

Apparently if you play very creatively and attacking (like Arsenal/Barca etc) then you receive more injuries as the opposition have to resort to physical violence!

I'm currently in the process of unsettling Bale He'll be mine soon enough. Michael Ball is doing a job a left back at the moment.
Decided to make it hard by being Newcastle, couldnt imagine how hard it'd be with Luton  Although second season in the CCC and they are 5th, they have bought some decent players!

I find myself in a relegation battle. I am Bournemouth.
Tried to sure up my defence but still leaking silly goals.
Have managed to get to the 3rd round of Fa Cup, beating Shrewsbury and Bradford on the way. Got a good draw against Weymouth now, so hopefully I can get to the 4th round and get premiership opposition.

I have Lorenzo Amoruso and Eddie Howe as my 2 central defenders Greg.
Managed to get Togo international Charles Kokougan on a free £75 p/w contract 2 games he has played he has been good and a slight improvement. I have been playing him in a DM role, just in front the back 4.
Beat Weymouth 2-0, goals from Chris Sutton and BIG Fletch. Now we wait to see who I get in 4th round.

I had Chris Sutton on trial for 4 weeks, he wasn't too bad but wasn't better than what I had.
Also did the same with Matt Jansen but actually signed him on a free as he was fairly useful.

I loaned Bale to Newcatsle actually and he rejetced every othewr club for them  I love unsettling players and pissing off othe rmanagers... I ruined tom huddlesstones season! Unsettled him when he was in top form, he was then loaned out and subsequenbtly broke his leg

Ouch!
I beat Blackburn in the 3rd round (and as I was waiting to make a substitution Klose broke his foot having scored 21 league goals in 23 games ) and then beat Peterborough 1 nil in the 4th round (reserve players!)

My main line up when all fit
Amelia
Hoyte Toure/Senderos Djorou Gallas
Hleb Fabregas Gilberto Ribery
Klose Henry
Lehmann
Senderos/Toure
Lauren
Rosicky
van Persie
Lehmann got injured early on in the season and Amelia never looked back and Djorou ahs been outstanding so Toure/Senderos must fight it out!
Ribery is generally a starter as Rosicky has missed most of the season!!

Supple cost me £70k, I needed cover for Harper and Given and didn't want to spend alot. He's developing into a good keeper.
Rozehnal is brilliant, my best player at the moment with an average rating of 7.80. The press keep praising him too. Got him on a Bosman, but he was only valued at £2.5million before that.

choose who does your throw ins penalties and crosses as well in accordance with their ratings, i have Gravesen taking them from either side and i think he gets a few assists through long throws. Made the mistake of using default penalty taker for the first few months and missed about half of them
IMO the best bit of the game is the fact that you have to do it proper... you must change the tactics form std and assign pk takers etc like you say!! Not come across the tutoring bit!! Teamtalks I am like a god at and I dont have too many goals disallowed (perhaps its just you thieves  )
I also change formnations near the end if i am leading just to be sure and and you must interact and poraise players but the bit i hate is when thye ask for your comments before the match and you make a fair selection but it pleasts out bollocks and all your players get PR and like annoyed oir they think the match will be a walkover and they get beat

£70k Nae bad... Ufaljsui is good too Not keen on the value system though... Mich Richards valued at £4.5m but you have to bid abovce £21m to sign him
He is my #1 target
