  1. jesus christ man
  2. yikes. kind of puts Gio's ... everything ... in a different light. He's 19 years old and his parents are insane. Hard not to get a little screwy
  3. I won the freaking UCL, I don't think I'll ever top this lol Beat Madrid 3-0 away in the first leg of the quarters, immediately went down 2-0 at home in the second leg, but ended up winning 5-3 on agg. Played Newcastle in the semis, won 2-0 at home and 1-2 away to win 3-2 on agg In the finals I beat Aston Villa (??????) 3-0 despite getting out xG'd like 3-1. Love to get the chance to FM the computer in a cup final for a change.
  4. How are you handling rotation with all the midweek fixtures? I've always felt like I don't quite get that right, but I might just be paranoid about fitness level and guys are actually fine starting more games(albeit at the cost of the happiness of depth players) its difficult since this is really my first year playing continental football, so my guys arent used to it. I didnt really come into it with a plan, i assumed id get bounced out of the UCL ASAP, but i kept winning, so i've had to rotate in league games, which probably explains why im 6th in the league this year instead of 4th. the upshot is i should still be in europe next year and i've made almost $40m off the champions league wins so far, so it's been worth it.
  5. FM23 update vol. 10, things have escalated yet again
  6. ill need an aol cd to update my email because im currently out of minutes. let me go buy a pc gamer magazine from the store
  7. would be a more viable business plan to just turn this into northsidelibs dot com and just let chicago people rant about donald trump and elon musk
  8. Hey, quit stealing imb's thunder. Is this referencing what I hope it's referencing do you think they're regretting this purchase yet
  9. would it worry you if i told you i knew the name of your editor in northd dakota? The sports editor, the main editor, or are you thinking of Katie Pizza? I don't even remember the actual editors' names. I just remember they both hated me. Most of my bosses forever have hated me because of what I now know is the autistic hyperfixation/burnout cycle. It's a little like manic-depressive. I get hyperfixated on my career, I do amazing work, give great interviews, talk myself into new and better jobs. A few months later I'm burnt out, the hyperfixation disappears, and I can literally barely drag myself in every day to click around on the computer screen and retype some press releases to avoid getting fired immediately. I always thought there was a vibe between me and Katie Pizza, but I was married at the time and would never press the issue. A few years later my then-wife cheated with a work buddy and I feel like I should get a re-do on that one. katie pizza baby! best name in the business
  10. Again, that's the joke. Lol. Oops. Missed that part while skimming though. Who was involved in the GoT spoilers then. Related to spoilers but I seem to remember someone spoiling when Rita died in Dexter in a Game Thread because someone used to have the name Dexter Morgan (17 Seconds maybe?). i think kyle emailed me spoilers and i blamed sully and blocked him lol
  11. It’s the internet, you should not feel welcome None of us know each other, and that’s the best part. One time someone referenced something they had seen on my facebook page and I locked that horsefeathers down *so fast* would it worry you if i told you i knew the name of your editor in northd dakota?
  12. some of you guys are really underrating how much fun this place was in its hey day or even early post-hey day. If they bring more people here it will be awesome
  13. the fact that they like the culture here already has me asking questions
  14. TIL there are apparently two cubs fans named mattew trueblood, who knew!??!
  15. i think if you slap a player that hard in the face it should be a straight red, i couldn't believe he was able to come back out
  16. I finished 4th and made the champions league ... gonna be hilarious to see what my group looks like OK, my first three matches in the UCL (under the new format where you're all in one giant pod, etc) Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-0 win, beat their ass, had like 29 shots A team i can't remember 1-1 draw, outplayed them but gave up a late equalizer PSG 1-0 HOME WIN I still can't believe it. my LW scored a goal in the 12th minute, real nice bender from just inside the box, then i just stymied PSG the rest of the match. Mbappe did nothing and the only real chance they had was $255m signing (seriously) Moukoko getting stymied in the last minute of stoppage by my 21 year old keeper. Moukoko's transfer fee alone would constitute my budget for a decade lmao
  17. i think if richarlison hadn't pushed him first, they would have given it
  18. I finished 4th and made the champions league ... gonna be hilarious to see what my group looks like
  19. More FM updates
  20. you should be able to put a guy on second but he has to be dan vogelbach
  21. honestly yeah. the hardcore fm guys like to rage about tactics that get broken from version to version but im not anywhere good enough to notice the difference. I still play a premier league save from fm20 and outside of a few small quality of life changes, there's not much difference between versions, and certainly not much difference between 22 and 23.
