Matches you had no right to win...

How many times have you somehow managed a win where you had absoloutly no right to do so.

Examples - 4th Season, unbeaten in some 60 odd matches in the League. West Ham v Derby (my team), we go 1-0, but by the half we are 3-1 down (ugh!). However the idiot ref once again decided that 5 minutes of injury time was needed and my strikers did the rest, or should I say Cissé! Cissé 91', 93', 96' for the win!

Another example, that is honestly much less dramatic in terms of when it happened, but it was still all Cissé. Derby v Liverpool at Pride Park in from of some 45,000 fans... Disaster strikes early as Torres and Lucas combine to get 4 goals and 4 assists beween them (they both of 2 of each). So there we are, 4-0 down, at home, at half time with Arsenal right behind us in the league. Well, here comes Cissé to save the day, scoring 4 and getting 2 assists (Cissé 45', 46', 52', 80' Van der Vaart 50', Makoun 69' and Vidal 90') Van der Vaart took a penalty. We equalised by the 52'. So after all that we won by 3 goals with a score of 7-4!

Finally to finish off this theme of my 4th season. Arsenal v Derby, match of the season, I was a whole point ahead of them with only a few matches left. Arsenal dominated the entire match from start to finish. But, our one and only shot, a freekick from miles out, was converted by ELANO!!! 87'... Oh, what a match, a bit of a nervy 8 minutes as the ref still thought it was worth 5 minutes of injury time, where they had a casual 5 shots, an offside goal and a goal ruled out for a foul! So summarising that match Arsenal had 36 shots (21 on target) and Derby had 1 (1 on target)...

You can't say that the computer cheats for the computer.

I beat Man U 3-0 as Oxford in the FA Cup final

kinda the opposite of this thread but i will post it anyway.

last night i was playing as arsenal against man city, about a dozen or so games into the season and they are unbeaten and had conceeded no goals. i dominate the game but they score just before half time. throughout the second half i just couldnt score. untill Walcott 86 and higuain 95 won me the match.

just beat lyon in the final of the champions league for the 2nd season in a row as arsenal. however until extra time i wasnt even in the game, went ahead after 79 minutes, conceded an equaliser in injury time and then went into extra time where i finally sprung into life, but i didnt play well all game

This happens far too often anyway- winning isnt about concerted periods of pressure its about carving open one or two quality chances.

Its why if your a big team that a slow patient buildup is better than a fast tempo game- whereas irl the opposite is true.

FMs match engine sadly has very little to do with the modern game.

That's not the point of this thread, or even true.

There are always games like this, sure I've not seen one that lives up to my Arsenal game, but still...

never, its hard enough winning when i completely dominate the game, i am AC Milan manager and i havent played badly ONCE, been the better side in every game and im 8th in the league

i just beat bayern 4-3 in the final cl group game with my second string, down to 10 men at 3-3, and the DM that i brought on to solidify the midfield and play out a draw scored a lob in the 94th (of 99) minute.
