rufcjoe Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 when you shout at your team on the ball, my fave is 'have a look, nice oand slow...thats it, just keep it...look at the run,...he'll have it back' etc and getting so angry when you lose you have to get up and have a breather and so happy when you win that you walk around like you own the world only for ur gf to shoot u right back down again.

Law_Man Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 When you just posted your FM Christmas Day Strategy on the forums...... Originally Posted by Law_Man The way to approach Christmas Day FM-wise is thus: - Get up, eat some choc open some presents and have a couple of cheeky games of FM - Get dressed, go and see family/welcome family at yours - Leave the computer on upstairs so that when you go to the loo you can play one match each time - Spend the whole of Christmas Day with your family and enjoy it. Christmas dinner....yum! - Stick at it with your family till about 9pm at which point the very young and the very old will need to be taken home etc. - And then from about 10pm have a bit of a cheeky Christmas FM sesh and off to bed. - Perfect Day. - For Boxing Day and New Years Daym do the above again just without opening presents.

Marko An. Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 when you realise that u dnt actually know what ur new signing looks like, so u check him out through google images... hahahah... i did that few hours ago, the exact same thing! ...somehow i didn't picture Veloso looking like "Beckham", and Sakho and Sankhare were a bit of a let-down in physical apearance... but Aquino was just about right with the picture in my head... and didn't know that Jordan Spence and Preston Edwards are black... Yes, I'm still playing FM08... And, I tried (and I am bit ashamed by it) too look for a picture of a regen, something like "Lets see him in "real life"".
