Football Manager 2008 Epic Matches&Success Stories

Just started my second season with Stockport County, 1st match of the season away at Chesterfield. Down 3-0 at half-time, have a chat to my striker Anthony Elding and repays me with a hat-trick to earn a 3-3 draw.

i just bought 07 and am battling! my laptop is too slow!

I once won a pre season game with Arsenal over Stenhousemuir 2-0. That was pretty epic.

Came from 1-0 down to win 1-4 with MyPa last night.

Just revived my A-League game over the weekend. FM08 has been gathering dust for me for a while. Signed a 19Y/O serbian chap (name forgotten) sith 16's and 17's for most atatcking stats. . .   then he went and got injured in the first fixture and is out for 2 months. . ..  .   

Am so far on an 8 game unbeaten run with Stockport County.

This is what i've won at Arsenal so far in 9 years.

I got Watford promoted to the Premier League and then relegated straight away.

Took Stockport from 18th in League 2 to 8th with a 12 game unbeaten streak. Missed out on playoffs by 1 point.

I'm bored give me a team to manage and not a Premiership one.

Hull City - but with any luck the offer will no longer meet your requirements after the weekend

I've currently taken Hinckley from ECN to League 2 in 2 Seasons. Pos 1 in League 2 end of Jan with a 7 point lead. Just need to hang in there...

Havant and W

Indeed, but they'd still be in the Championship in FM. I'm sure Phil Brown wouldn't mind.

I'm FINALLY playing 08 (he says with an 09 deadline next Monday).

Solihull Moors on the way to the top.

Good luck! I started with Worthington - saved them from relegation - got mid table, next season lost in the play offs and got sacked - no pleasing some!

Started okay, mid table, but a great run in the cups has paid off all the money I spent on releasing the dross in my side (nearly all of it).

So I'm about 8k up, playing Bury in the 2nd round of the actual  FA Cup draw and finally got a decent goal scorer on loan from Birmingham, 5 goals in his first two matches.

Might move these last posts to FM thread.

Epic.

anyone know how football manager compares with championship manager?

FM is so much better it's not worth thinking about.

Top that...

The most enjoyable FM game I had involved evil Manchester City. Using Thaksin's cash and the talents of Elano, Johnson, Petrov and co I finished 5th in my first season and won the League Cup. Picked up Luis Jimenez off Inter for season two (actually signed him for around 2mil in first year but since he's on loan he doesn't arrive till second season) and he was an absolute beast.

For year two I moved Elano into central midfield, Jimenez into the hole and had the Brazilian Liedson up front. Got Wright-Philips on the cheap off Chelsea and he turned into a monster as well. Managed a 3rd place finish in the second season (to go with a Eufa Cup win and an FA cup semi final) and in the third (following further reinforcements after I sold Ireland for around 25 million pounds to Valencia) year I took down both the EPL and the Champions League :) KTBW2008-08-22 12:44:52

I took over Derby and were horrible, picked up Seb Larsson on the cheap and he was my top scorer, had Killen who scored a few but unfortunately I couldn't picked up a central defender before the window closed apart from a quick pick up of Stephane Henchoz on a few hundred thousand. Ended up leaving the team halfway through when I lost to NewCastle 8 - 3.

Anyone know when Footie man 09 is released?

Next Database load is mid-September, so I'd think late October.

DO a google search for the 8.02 release (I think) but I can check that tonight.

or just go to www.sortitoutsi.net, all updates, kits, badges etc available there.

Yeah October sounds right for 09, thats when it comes out most years. I've been playing this game too long, might have to retire from it one day
