Game crashing.  6 times tonight alone :(

Hopefully I've solved the problem though - currently managed to play two weeks without a crash and that's the longest by far tonight.

That hug doesn't look too fuzzy...

Also, is it just me or does the guy on the far left looks like a certain Spanish midfield playmaker based on his hair?

Arsenal. 9 out of the last 10 Premier Leagues, 4 in a row Champions League, 4 of the last 7 FA Cups and the last 3 World Club Championships. Any point playing in England, or indeed Europe?

Not for all the tea in China. I grew up in the 80's when Arsenal were our biggest rivals along with Everton, and United were just an annoyance with lots of fans and no trophies.

Yeah! Fuck Barca and that attention grabbing charity sponsorship deal!

Give me Real Madrid any day! Galacticos and General Franco! That's what I need in my Spanish football ;)

No Fuck Barca and their attempted tapping up of a certain Arsenal midfielder -- also don't buy all the Barca hype there were plenty of Barca board memebers who bent over and let Franco f*** them in the arse anytime he wanted.  Just because the Catalans resisted Franco doesn't mean Barca the club did. At least the entire club.   :thup: [/harsh reality lesson]  :topic:

A lack of goals from my strikers. I have tweaked and tweaked and tweaked my nipples  :o tactics but to no avail. The most any player of mine has scored in a season (including 2 championship wins) has been 17. Where is my 30 goal a season guy!!!!!

erm... unless you're walking a league or have a striker playing way below his standard you shouldn't be getting a 30/season guy. 17 a season is pretty normal.

That 17 was for all competitions for a guy who was loaned into the lowest Italian league from Serie B.

Edit: And I'm using this thread to moan like a little bitch, OK! :p

Chivas have offered you a two year contract worth £6,750 per week.

Chivas currently pay you £3,900 per week.

The club is losing money hand over fist and yet they will only let me negotiate my wage between £6,750 and £13,750 per week.  FFS I'm happy earning the lower amount.  Yes we've been successful but I don't necessarily need to have a wage rise.

GAH!!

My club not allowing me to offer players whose contracts are expiring similar deals to what they are currently on, meaning that it looks like most of my best players will be vacating in the summer.

I understand that I'm quite a bit over the wage budget and we're losing money but still!  :stunned:

Absolutely battering the opposition for 90 minutes.  Having seven (seven ffs!!) penalty appeals turned down and losing (oh, the irony) 1-0 to a disputed penalty  :garry:
