How did your first match go?

After a poor pre-season with New York, which involved an awful team meeting that destroyed morale (had to try out the feature), my first league match was against Houston at home. I had lost to Toronto, 3-2, in a pre-season friendly at home, so I wasn't expecting much. Still, the team came out flying and Robbie Rogers bagged a goal on his Red Bulls debut after 33 seconds. Tim Ream scored off a corner, Thierry Henry bagged one, and then Jan Gunnar Solli added a late brace to give me a 5-1 win in my managerial debut. Great start to the season!

How have your FM12 debuts gone?

My first game of the season was a 2-1 win at home to Sunderland. It's made all the better due to the fact I'm Newcastle United

Arsene Wenger's first game on FM12 didn't go as well as mine though. Arsenal lost 7-0 at Anfield on the opening day!

My Leicester side had a 1-0 home win against Crystal Palace thanks to an own goal.

Norwich 0-1 Liverpool

Gerrard (pen 16)

Shots 9-10

Possession 48%-52%

Lucky to get the win but then again I guess, any win is a good win early in the season

Why is gerrard not injured?

3-1 vs City in the Community Shield, very nervous. Already getting bored of being a big boy however.

My first competitive match in charge of Celtic ended in a 2-0 away win over Hibs with Bangura and Commons bagging the goals for me in what was then my demo save, which I've continued and added several leagues to and am now in pre-season of season 2.

My first competitive game was in the Icelandic Upper league cup me being Fjölnir beat Víkingur Ó 3-1.

Got battered away at Leverkusen 5-1 with Dortmund. Managed to turn it around after a poor start, in 2nd behind Bayern half way through season.

Beat Tottenham 1-3 at WHL with Arsenal in season opening. But it helps to have fast learners

The media made a fuss about Jenkinson being well known with the rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham, The lad just joined the club playing his very first game for Arsenal (came on as a sub at 77th minute). HEH, I found that amusing.

I was so crossed when RvP got injured in the international game just before the opening game. But Chamakh did fantastic, scoring twice and assisted the 3rd.

Started off Unemployed as I fancied a bit of a journeyman save instead of my usual fare starting with Liverpool. Anyways, I applied for, and got offered my first job from FC Den Bosch (sp?) in the Dutch second division (can't remember league name currently as game is off now).

First game was at home against the league leaders, where my team was sat in 10th place. Set up a nice short passing, strict 442 formation and came away with a very comfortable 2-0 home win. Following game was away and lost 4-0 although my team dominated. Match after that was a 3-0 home win, so not a bad start considering I've had no pre season with the players.

A narrow win over Brumunddal on the opening day of the Norwegian second division group 2, having joined Frigg in the off-season. Took an early lead on 7 minutes. They equalized ten minutes later, before we took the lead with five minutes to half time. A third goal for us one minute into injury time made my teamtalk much easier. Brumunddal pulled one back on 74 minutes, which made for a nail-biting finish to the match. Still, we managed to hold onto our lead. As Wiitastic said earlier, any win is a good win early in the season.

Crewe 4 - 1 Barnet

Nice win to start the season, having only signed two free transfers. Staying within the salary budget is going to be impossible, half the first team squad go out of contract in 11 months unless I give them all a payrise

Currently scrabbling around the Prem teams to find players that I can loan and that are good enough to slot straight into the team - I need cover for the six first team players out injured (including my first and second choice goalkeepers).

First match of the season. I.m Torquay btw.

I beat Tromsdalen 2-1 at home when I was expected to ship a fair few goals. I was chuffed to say the least.

I'm Skarp and I started the game in July 2011 so it's a little way in to the Norwegian season. The team had lost 6 out of 6, had, I think, 7 players and was relying on noones to stand in in defence (one defender when I took over).

That win came with just my seven players and I managed to get a few more players in before my next match, away at Mjolner. Judging by the cracking performance with nobodys against Tromsdalen I was expecting a good result. We lost 3-1. :confused:

my first game was against Reading - I am LUFC - and they thrashed me 3-0

Fist game with LFC was a home derby with Everton, finished 0-0, after 8 matches I already have 3 nil-nil draws....

I won my first match 5-0, Spurs vs Blackburn.

My first game was with Leeds Utd, playing Lille in a friendly. I went for a 4-2-3-1 Deep counter formation. I scored early through Nunez, then Lille had a man sent off for 'Ungentlemanly Conduct' so I pushed on to attacking, wide play and keep possession. We miss a couple of good chances and are looking good going into the break, but I have to change things as it's preseason so I make 8 changes, we conceed early in the 2nd half. I witch back to control to try and keep possession more and look for overlaps, we manage to create a lot of chances in the final 10mins, we even win a penalty in the 90th minute but unfortunately Howson manages to hit the post! Final score 1-1, not bad and some good performances!

Playin as Man U just to get used to game and sort tactics and positions out. First game was a friendly against Porto - won 3-1, Rooney scored when defence made a complete hash of a pass from the keeper. Lovely!

Haven't picked up the full game yet but on the demo I started with Man City. Beat United 4-1 in the CS, two apiece from Tevez and Aguero. Other results haven't gone to plan as finished the demo in 3rd/4th in the Prem and about 10 points off top but have beaten Arsenal 6-1 and Liverpool 5-2.

i won my 1st game as spurs 5-1 v arsenal

I drew 0 - 0 against Sunderland at home... Not a good start ( Liverpool ).

Playing as Dynamos in the South African 1st division, at home to Thanda Royal Zulu. They went 1-0 up, I equalized, they went 2-1 up and I equalized, they went 3-2 up and I equalized, they went 4-3 up... in the last minute. No time to equalize

As Arsenal against Liverpool at Ainfield I was expecting a beating, we haven't been great in pre-season but we came out and played thoroughly professionally and grabbed a 2-0 win.

went Spurs and won 2-1 away to Liverpool, quite pleased with that start

First competitive game was at home in front of the TV cameras, went 1 nil down but stormed back to win 3-1

i won it 2-0 Vs swansea

My first game of the season was a 2-1 win at home to Sunderland. It's made all the better due to the fact I'm Newcastle United

Arsene Wenger's first game on FM12 didn't go as well as mine though. Arsenal lost 7-0 at Anfield on the opening day!

knowing arsenal that could well happen

Defeated FC Twente as Ajax 3-2 in Extra Time for the Johan Cruijff-schaal! We dominated the whole match but gave away two silly goals...

I beat Man City 4-1 in community shield after going 1 down

I won my first game. Wrexham 7 - 0 Kettering.

Beat Doncaster 4-0

With Arsenal i had an epic season opener vs Spurs at WHL, after goals galore i came through truimphant at 5-3. On another save with Billericay after holidaying a season i roughed out a 1-1 draw with Eastbourne.

First game with Forest beat Hull 4-1 after going one down early on. Miller got 2 with Anderson and Chambers getting one each.

A good 2-1 win over Stockport

im the big club from the east of europe and i won 6 0

Beat Hapoel Tel Aviv 4 - 2 with Stade Rennais in my first official game Solid win in the Europa League

Beat Man Utd 3 - 1 in the Community Shield (forget the friendlies they don't count)
