Football Manager 2012

[Fudge]

I'm so happy. With winning the FA Cup against West Brom I'd already qualified for the Europa League, but holy shit 6th place.

Thankfully Sunderland, Tottenham and Bolton all screwed up towards the end meaning I could keep 6th place, which I've been in since match day 14! Spurs won the league last season and didn't even make the top 8, haha. Sunderland came 3rd last year and won the Europa League this year, but had a pretty poor season in the league.

Delighted!

- 6th place in the Premiership

- FA Cup winners

- Carling Cup finalists

This is probably the best I've ever done in 2 years on any FM.

How did 4 teams qualify for the Europa League? Fair play?

[Fudge]

Nope Austria and some shit got fair play. Honestly I haven't got a clue. I thought West Brom should've qualified for reaching the FA Cup final.

[Dingle]

What did Bolton do to get that place? Maybe because an English team won it, England got more spots?

[Fudge]

They did nothing, and maybe since City/Utd won the Champions League and Sunderland the Europa.

[Hobo]

Freddy Adu. 25 games, 26 assists. Wow.

[METALMAN]

He did become the best player ever ever after all!

[Summers]

Gonna start a game in the Championship. Want to lead a team to the Prem, but not one of the bigger sides. Can't pick which one.

Barnsley

Why?

I reckon Brighton. You will be expected to finish about midtable but there are some good players in the squad and with the odd additions to the squad you could certainly challenge for the playoffs and possibly higher.

On my Wrexham game so far. 12 games played: Won 10, Drew 1, Lost 1. Currently 6 points clear ahead of 2nd place Gateshead and the team are playing some really good football having scored 40 goals and only let in 12.

Best signings for me have been Pablo Counago who has scored 15 goals and got 2 assists in 10 games while the other signing who has been really impressive is Argentine DMC/MC Victor Ormazabel who has 12 assists and 2 goals in 12 games. Those two are the best of the 9 free transfers I made at the start of the season but even then those 9 free signings are practically the starting line up apart from Daniel Alfei who starts off at the club on loan and Joslain Mayebi the goalkeeper.

Why?

I dunno, I kinda like Barnsley. Mind you, I second Brighton, they are quite fun to play with.

[Liam]

Yeah, go with Brighton. Good enough to stay up, enough money/decent players to make a push, 20,000+ stadium so decent money......worth a punt, basically.

[Summers]

It came down to Barnsley, Brighton, Palace or Derby. I went with Barnsley. It was close between them and Derby. Seems like it'll be a nice challenge.

[King Ellis]

Now i'll feel bad when you get them promoted where I couldn't! Albeit some 10-15 years worth of game time difference.

[Liam]

Brighton and Palace represent the local teams of the last two places I've lived.

The more you know, and all that.

[Plubby]

Won the FA Cup Finished 90 mins 1-1. 105 mins 2-1. 120 mins 4-1. Great effort, and i'm in Europe! I'm being linked to Chelsea and Liverpool, but i'm going to see if i'm offered the job. Happy to stay at Newcastle if i'm not sought out specifically.

[TCO]

I reckon I'll start a game with Brighton, seems like a nice challenge by the sounds of things and I've never done a proper Championship game other than the year Newcastle were there. They've got the infrastructure to become a solid Premier League team too.

[Fudge]

I find it quite odd that I was (I think) 3000-1 to win the league last year, and now I'm 40-1.

[Lineker]

Should have gone with Watford
