Sweeney-G Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Well what can i say, im enjoying one of the most heart racing promotion battles i have ever experianced on Fm. Im leeds in League 1, second season and currently sitting top (even with a recent bad run of results). I am being very closely followed by 5 other teams with only 10 games to go, the difference between first and 6th spot is 2 points. ( the 5 teams are Swindon, Doncaster, Burnley, Hull and carlise in that order) This got me wondering whether anybody else has ever been engrossed in usch a massive promotion battle, or Premiership league title Chers Sweeney-G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeney-G Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Well what a team performance, i was 2-0 down to swindon at half time, yes you guessed it ROY MAKAAY comes on, unofrtunatly he doesnt get on the score sheet but gets an overall rating of 8, which i think is amazing considering he is severely lacking in match fitness Final result swindown town 2-4 Leeds 6 games left, i am in second, 3 points behind Doncaster who have a better goal difference by 5, the rest of teams have whittled away and there are only me doncatser hull and burnley still in the chase for first place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
al23 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I had a good surprise signing a 35 years old striker, Alexandre Rey (I play with Servette FC) of course not as good as Makaay, but he did very well for me for 2 seasons, finishing second striker in the team, at the beginning of his third season he scored 6 in 7 games and got a nine month injury at the end of the 7th game, a few weeks later he announced his retirement at the end of the season. But he was a great asset for the 2 seasons he played for me, and scored about 50 goals in 70 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeney-G Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 just won ma next game 1-0, makaay coming off the bench in the 70th minute, however he made a howler from a one on one situation and didnt look 2 convincing, still hes trying to find form and im looking forward to him bagging his 1st goal, and on your point i remember signing alexander rey a few fms back, he did well for me and hes always one of them who sticks in my mind lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeney-G Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 To conclude i finished second, 2 points behind doncaster and ROY MAKAAY didnt turn out to be the wonder signing afterall, my ass man told me hes on the decline and so im just using him as a tutor, he scored no goals in no 6 sub appearances ahhh well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr_Man5 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'm currently top of the Championship with Middlesbrough. A massive ONE POINT clear!! Then there is 6 points to 3rd. Twelve games to go. We've won 6 in a row. Nerves are jangling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFuzzyOne Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I was tottenham, and on the last day of the season, I was level on points with Man Utd, with a superior goal difference. Thankfully, they were against Liverpool, whereas I was against Reading. I lost, they lost. The premiership's coming home! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunO1 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Whats your team look like? I took over leeds. In the first season I has a awfull start but got confidence up and went on a run that was amazing, we were unbeatable. Only missed out on playoff on gal diff. Second season managed to get automatically promoted(mainly cos of my opponents bottling it). My first season in champ i struggled but my aim t o stay up meant i had this season with no pressure on me and could use it as a season long trail. Did what you did and got a couple of old heads in to steady the team and slowly built the team up during the season. The second season I went above the expectations took the money and speant it on a quality backbone(centre half. Def Mid. and goalscorer) they dragged me to an unexpected promotion came downto the wire but i was lucky especially with how the fixtures panned out. All my rivals had to play each other and took points away from each other. My first season on the prem and I intended just to make sure that if i went down i would have the strongest squad in the champioship and i could just bully my way up. I managed to keep in touch till january were i went for broke and bought another striker for 10 mill (my entire budet. His goals were keeping me up until disater srruk and BOTH my strikers got injuries. It was back to trying to nick a point here and ther for the rest of the season, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Gootbone Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I took Leeds to the Championship League at end of season 2, finished 6th in said league and won the playoff. In the Premeireship I was give 35 million dollars to buy my way to a Euro Cup qualifying finish. By 2013 I was offered the Arsenal job outright, without applying, when Arsene retired. I am now in second, beating everyone except Leeds - I even lost the semifinal Cup home and away to my former Leeds - playing the same lineup I left in August. I can't even take any of my "ambitious" Leeds players over to Arsenal since Eduardo and Hieb and Toure and co. are all "determined", however, with 106 mil to spend I will evenaully crush Leeds, even as they sing my name from the stands at Elland. Now if only Man United would come calling........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neji Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The closest thing for me was when I was managing Man City. I made a last dash for the title, sat 4th just 2 points off the top with 4 games to go. Liverpool, Man Utd and West ham were above me. I won three out of three and was level on points for the last game. I lost 3-0 away to Millwall Liverpool managed a draw and won the title. I was so mad.
