What a game yesterday. For some reason I kept thinking about the following song titles: Sarri Not Sarri Is It Too Late Now To Say Sarri? Sarri Seems To Be The Hardest Word Sarri. I mean sorry.

Played 0. Such is the life of the third choice keeper...

Welcome sir. Glad you're enjoying proper football and not that hand-egg thing you Americans call "football". There are a few other Americans on here too, so you'll feel right at home.

Married to a stunner eh?

Yes please. PM on the way.

Oh. Oh bloody hell. That brings up some memories... How far we've come.

Happy New Year everyone. Anyway, I spent a bit of time writing this up. Not sure if it's of any use to anyone, but I just wanted to write something. https://benfootballsite.home.blog/

Thanks Mark. I'm back in Singapore now so spending good time with my family.

Merry Christmas everyone

Oh this sounds fun. Shame I ain't in it. MLS is a hoot.

Anyway, those of you who have me on Facebook would have read that, after almost a year in China, I would be moving back to Singapore in December. I intend to take a short break from work, and maybe use this time to do some of the things I enjoy, including writing stories again perhaps. The thing is, I no longer have a good enough computer to run FM games for any decent amount of time. But I would still like to write something to contribute, so I'm not sure if this is the right place to do it, or if someone can point me in the right direction. In my year in China, I've actually spent a lot of time watching the Chinese Super League, following up with news of the teams and players and so on over the past season. Mostly because I'm a boring old soul with no life and watching football is what I do outside of work. I'd like to think I have a somewhat decent knowledge now of the Chinese league, and would like to write something like a guide. It can be fairly detailed, about the league structure, the individual teams, key players to note etc. Maybe something useful for someone who wants to play in the CSL in the game and would use it as a reference point perhaps. I know something like this doesn't typically belong in FMS but what do you guys think of the idea? Maybe there's somewhere else on the forums I can do this?

Hello everyone. Long time no see. Let me catch up on some of the going ons here... 1. Sorry to hear that @CFuller. Hope all is well with your family. 2. @mark wilson27 If there are any more places for the sign up I don't mind joining in. If it's too late that's OK too. 3. The first stories I read on FMS was one of Peacemaker's (I forgot which, think it was East Stirling or something). Then I started writing about the tales of Ben Arsenal which triggered a debate and got me locked out briefly as the mods debated what to do with me. Ah, good times. Nice to be back, now on to business...

I'm so sorry I missed this. Sounds like a great time was had by all (four of you ). Congrats to all winners once again. Well and truly deserved. Good stuff.

I think part of it is the general decline of FMS in general. It's not a slight against anyone, and those that do work here (Mark especially) do a great job. But I feel that in recent years we've lost quite a bit of people due to general life and stuff (myself included), so it's not hard to see why there's been very little support for things that used to keep this community alive and going. I'm not sure what will fix it, whether we attempt to win back those we've lost (difficult I reckon) or try to liven the place up by attracting new people. Either way, it won't be easy.

'Ello mates. Am I too late for the awards? I'm back in Singapore this week so might have time to pop by for a bit. EDIT: Sorry I missed the voting. I usually support things like these but being in China makes Internet access a bit difficult. Sorry @mark wilson27
