Totally flying through the game aren't you?! I'm just into 2017 now and I thought I was going too fast :D

Yeah that's a dreadful group. I always seem to get really easy groups...

yeah got a new laptop last week and it zips through a season. First game away at Real Madrid I only went and beat them 2-1! Magical stuff, I should quit whilst ahead!

Oh great, there goes Theo Walcott for the 3 months with a torn hamstring. Right Wellington Silva, you've got three games to show me you aren't fucking shit, or I'm bringing up one of the youth team for that position until Walcott gets back.

It's worth pointing out that Walcott was released by Arsenal in my game in 2015 then crawled feebly to Everton.

Ryan, you're starting to sound alot like the angry German kid in the video.

I felt like it too. If Ashley Young had walked into my living room during that Crystal Palace game I may have punched him in the face. Thankfully RVP has found his shooting boots again. 5 games into the season he had an average rating of 5.94 and he hadn't scored a goal so I stuck him in the reserves for a few matches, I was on a run of 2 losses two draws and he came off the bench against Sunderland at half time (to replace Wellington Silva, who's getting sold to fucking Bolton, the useless cunt) and scored twice and I won 2-0. Now I have to stop playing because I'm flying to Scotland for 5 days. 5 days in which I'll be thinking about the North London derby waiting for me when I get back.

I'm smashing the shit out of the German 3rd tier. It's grim down there for everyone but me. Squads are depleted. Teams from the above two divisions, and other Euro leagues, seem to have pinched all their best players, and I'm getting hassled by bigger clubs for my best players, though I tied them all to massive contracts before I did anything, just because I had no money to spend. Still haven't lost a game, drawn twice, and when I do win, it's by 3 or 4. My attack is mental, but the defence is a bit arse. I'm winning games like 6-2 and 5-3. Goal fests. 60 goals in 20 games. Silly as fuck. I'm just coasting until promotion. I don't even give team talks. They know they are better at football than whoever we're up against.

Comparing my players to those from the 2nd division, and apart from my 3 star players, my lot just don't compare. If I don't get money to spend, I'll be slugging away in the danger zone. I thought a good cup run would give me a bit of brass, but I could knocked out by Union Berlin in the first round. Twat.

Not been playing so much this week but 7 points from my first three champions league games is a good return, should make the Euro League finishing 3rd if nothing else as Zenit have null points at this stage, 2nd in league after 9 games though very early days and just went to Anfield and did the scousers in the league cup. That's the third time on the bounce I've beaten them :)

RÜHMEN DIE WEISBADEN!

The table is a little flattering due to how shit everyone elses squad is. I was unbeaten for 29 games, drawing once. Then the last 9 games, I couldn't buy a win, losing 1 and drawing 8. Morale was rock bottom, and me yelling the roof off the changing sheds was now having fuck all impact. Luckily, I was already head and shoulders above everyone else, but I wanted to break the 100 point mark, as I did with the goals, but it wasn't to be.

Note how I only lost one game, and how the shockingly dogpiss awful Werder Bremen II only won one game. That was me. The fucking whipping boys. The buttfuckers. The one game of the season where Werder's opponents look like the Harlem Globetrotters of football. I got bollocked 3-2 at their place. Unforgivable.

Big Bastard's managerial style often made the press. Even when we win, if we win ugly, I kick the fuck out of the lot of them. If we don't have the most possession, or the most shots on target, I kick the fuck out of the lot of them. Lessons are learned every week. Tread carefully, fuckos.

I expect next season to be a bit grittier. Bundesliga 2 is at a good level, where as the 3rd division is Sunday League shit. Hopefully I'll push for a play off position, but if I don't strike lucky with a few freebies/loans or have any funds to spend, then I imagine it'll be a mid table shunt. Come on, board. Give me a cheque book after having exactly £0 to spend last season, and you went ahead and sold two of my players for an accumulated £1.25 million, and gave me none of it.

Bagged a friendly against PSG which is a money spinner. The board better give it to me. I'm desperate for a right midfielder.

Big Bastard marches on to the big leagues. Fuck all y'all.

I've finished another season with Dorchester.

A quick season, I just wanted it over with because there is a finance bug. Hopefully it will sort itself out when my new stadium comes online next month.

Finished 16th. Had a great first half but my "penniless" tag and clubs unsettling my big players after the Jan transfer window opened screwed me over. Had to sell a few guys for peanuts just to stabilse morale.

When I first posted my game synopsis I never realised that I have not spent a penny in transfer fees. A season later I am still a transfer fee virgin. That gives me a little side-challenge: How long can I go without actually paying for someone?

I had my wage budget cut again last season, from 33K to 30K. Thankfully they gave me £1.1M transfer budget, which I converted into wages. Still working on less than 40K pw wages (this is the championship, some players earn that a week). Bring on the new stadium.

I'm finally getting a laptop today, this one:

Pretty much exclusively for pornography and FM2012. Cannae wait. Going to do my standard Blackburn game i think. There usually a good team to go as as they have Chris Samba.

An AMD processor tho? Not fancy an I5 or I7? I run FM on an I5 (first gen which is disappointing when you compare them to the second gen versions) with 4 GB or ram and it flies along, i have about 10 leagues loaded as well, and i add in new ones every so often.

Are the AMD processors not better for games though? It’s a 6GB RAM too, so I should be able to run hunners of stuff at the same time. That’d be well cool.
