Reading\'s Revolving, Rant Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 45. When you have been mispronouncing a players name on fm and you hear the name irl you keep using your version as you cant break the habbit of the last year. Couldn't agree with that more 307 - no matter how absolutely useless you are, you will always finish above Derby 308 - regardless of any stats or attributes the opposition keeper will always be amazing 309 - Striker with finishing below 4? he'll be amazing....until you buy him.

FC Lake Zurich Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 310- Apparently its quite a simple thing for a winger to dribble to the end line then weave back through 4 defenders to pass the ball gently into the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

warkill Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 314) A manager who wants to buy a great player can hire a scout who will never be wrong with his judgement, whose name is genie. 315) A player with 1 for long shot can score a crazy beautiful long shot against your team, but not for your team. 316) A player will always kick the ball out of play when he is chasing a ball near the lines, ALWAYS. 317) Kicking the ball to row Z = kicking the ball just past the line... 318) Goalscorers will always start to lift his shirt, looks at ref, and wear it back, but will NEVER take off his shirt and get a yellow card for it.

DodgeeD Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 319) Even though the commentator says 'he slides on his knees and waves his fists in the air' after a goal, your player will clearly be on two feet just running around with his team mates. 320) It is always possible to unsettle a footballer with a balanced personality by saying he might be a threat in the next game. 321) Games can be postponed when you have two squad players called up for an U19 international but never when you have 6 first teamers away at the Olympics, WCQ play-offs or any other internationals that clash with league games.

messi Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 326.People moan a lot on the forums 327.Players with 7 for long shots, 2 for creativity and 1 for finishing will invariably score thirty yard volleys against you in the last minute despite you having 27 shots to their two and you are top and they are bottom 2. 328.Vagner Love is a better goalscorer than Wayne Rooney 329.You can't win at Old Trafford or the Emirates, however Derby can easily win 2-0 at Stamford Bridge 330.

Popider Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 245. When you go abroad on holiday and play football with a Spaniard who takes the **** out of you football-wise, you check FM every year to see if he's there yet. 246. If you have a friend who plays for Queen's Park, you sign him for Rangers. 247. If a player scores a long shot against you, you check his stats to see if he really deserved to. 248. If you see someone do a stepover irl, you quietly resolve to go to the database and add a few points to his flair before starting a new version. 249. You don't need to be nervous watching penalty shoot-outs irl, after all you can reload the save... Damn, wait... 250. You are disappointed when a newspaper gives a player who was only on for 15 minutes 3/10. In your expert opinion, he should start with a 6. 251. You think that if you were in FM, you would probably have a flair of 11, a pace of 14, an acceleration of 16, and a long shots of 8. Being completely realistic and fair. And dribbling of 20.
