Right apologies in advance if this has been posted before, but i would like to hear your FM 08 stories. Include anything you want, transfers, starting 11, competition wins etc. I'll post my story when i get home from work, Im at Spurs, doing good got fuckin sacked from celtic cause they wouldnt give me more transfer funds after winning the UEFA cup......some things will never change

> celtic * tear trickles down cheek* ( peter lawwel actaully called me in his office and said " u are miles better thatn that fanny strachan"

> man u - cunts but a very good team in this


so my celtic career is going very well in total over 2 seasons i have one 2 spl , 1 scottish cup , 1 cis cup and a uefa cup - and currently holding a 2-0 aggragate lead over * drumroll* ................Chelsea.


if only my man u career was going so swimmingly : it started well with an epl and an fa cup but i was so desperate to sign sebastian giovinco i asked for more money - baaaaaaaaadddd move- and to make things worse i clicked the ultimatum button and got sacked. Now i'm the tenerife manger and winning every game

Ive just started playing again recently and i am Morton just now.

Got Celtic as a parent club so have made a few loan signings from them.
Seasons In - Simon Ferry - Loan, Scott Cuthbert - Loan, Rocco Quinn - Loan, Sean Evans on loan from Man Utd. Few free transfers - Frederic Patouillard from some french team, Emil Salomonsson from Angelholm in Sweden and Scott Murray from Queens Park for cover in goals. Only money i spent was 10K on Lukasz Stasiak from a Polish club.

Out- Sold Kevin Finlayson and Brian Graham for combined price of 15K.

Im at the end of september and sitting in 7th - P8 W2 D2 L4 F16 A13 Pts8

First few games were mixed, got beat 1-0 at Cappielow against Dundee but then beat QOS 5-2 away and hammered Elgin 4-0 at home in the Challenge Cup, got beat 2-1 by Livi after that though.
Im out of both cups now, Raith beat me on pens in Challenge Cup and Aberdeen hammered me 5-1 in the CIS Cup.

My first team

Lee Robinson
Peter Weatherson
Sean Evans
Scott Cuthbert
Ryan Harding
Simon Ferry
Allan Jenkins
Jamie Stevenson
Rocco Quinn
Jim McAlister
Ian Russell

Allan Jenkins been probably my best player ans Lukasz Stasiak is my top scorer even though he starts on th bench.

He's actualy prety good in the game, gets higher average ratings than Boruc allot and he's quality at saving penalties

[Japanesebhoy]

I'm into my second season and have won in my first one The Champions league, the league, the CIS cup and the Scottish cup. So far in my second season I have won the Super Cup and the World clubs championship and am still alive in all competitions entered

Here's my team:

Boruc

Hinkel-------Huth------Mick-------Fabio Aurelio

Mizuno------Robson----Donati-----McGeady

Samaras---------Pozzi

However, I sometimes play 4-5-1 with this team in the CL:

Boruc

Hinkel-------Huth---------Mick-------Fabio Aurelio

-----------------Caldwell

Mizuno/Robson------Robson/Hartley------Donati---------McGeady

Pozzi/Samaras

[Bhoys Dont Cry]

Just finished my first season. Won the league by six points. Knocked out of the champions league with only one draw!
Lost in the scottish cup final to the huns

I cant seem to score alot during a match. Always win by scrappy 1-0/2-0 scores right at the death.

Any tips?
