Mnchster67 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I was in a restaurant today and there was a staff shortage so service would be limited. I started comparing it to my striker crisis at Hertha at the moment - I've got two long-term injuries, and I brought in Oba Martins in the transfer market after joining and he got injured for 2 weeks which left me with one senior striker out of five (the other one is out on loan) and a 16-year-old as back-up. Also, when you compare food products to players in your game. Started muttering to myself in Sainsbury's about whether to choose Lyon's Bakewell Tarts (Jermain Beckford) or Kipley's (Jermain Defoe).

Twellman24 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 ...When you're 26 years old and married, but in your last year of college before graduating you manage to squeeze in a journeyman career that lasts all the way until now--2044, having gone from bringing a Third Division Spanish team all the way to First, then managing Villarreal (la liga once and two ECL), Zaragoza, and the States through the years. Also when you get a major depression when you realize you cannot bring yourself to start another game since you know 2010 does not have dynamic league rep and you will be stopping the game in two months anyway.

ThorpeAstleyFox Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 You can't remember if Gillingham beat Millwall 2-1 in real life or in FM. You keep getting results confused between IRL and FM. I do this constantly with players - thinking that players who are excellent for me on FM are actually excellent for my team (Leicester City) in real ilfe. This leads to me often looking very stupid when declaring how excellent some of the rubbish players are and how they desreve a good run in the team!!!

deltablue Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 When you've disappointed that your sister's new boyfriend doesn't play FM. I've actually insisted more than once since that one of them should end up with an FM player at some point. I've also been imagining going into town to get the game for a few months now (which hasn't happened before). Plus my laptop has been away for repairs for a long while so first I decided I'd get a new one if it wasn't back in time (to the point of actually browsing dabs for a bit), then I'd upgrade my older one I'm on but then realized that I could still do a large enough league selection to satisfy me that wouldn't go too slow (at least for a while). I was actually moaning to my best friend (not an FMer when not with me due to being busy) last night about how every couple of days before it arrived back would be a potential season I could reach fading away. Before commenting on the oddness of watching nonexistent future virtual seasons fade away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
