Fabio MVP Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 although tbf I have been split from my wife for over 15months now, after 10 years so wasn't really bothered about valentines, had long enough to get used to kit, the patch strategy thing i've only been aware of for the past couple of weeks, but as the saying goes, all good things....come to those that wait. Understand you mate. Let's just hope patch comes in Feb and not in March. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you lose close friends, due to your non-stop bickering about the friends you've picked up on FM, (Stuart Pearce and Paul McKenna for me!) so I then go home, and take my frustration out on the media in press conferences.

Blinky Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 How are these: In my second year of Uni myself and 4 housemates set up a network game which lasted 11 seasons and over 40 hours game time. One night we were out in Cardiff for a friends birthday drinks. At 11pm we were sat in a bar discussing FM and decided to go home and play instead of staying out all night. 3 years after Uni, the name Wayne Appleton (worlds greatest regen) still means something and we always plan to load the old game back up! You tell your GF you're not feeling well so cant go out/go see her just so you can play FM... You fall out with a housemate because he accepts a lower offer from another housemate for a player and rejects yours... You pay real money for a player... On your CV you seriously considered putting "Champions league winner with Cheltenham Town, beating Barca at the Nou camp with Mike Duff, Jamie Victory, Mark Bosnich and Sam Parkin in the starting 11" You skip lectures at the drop of a hat because a housemate has text you the "FM?" The best night of your uni life included a crate of beer, 4 laptops and some FM... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I'd written that tactic down somewhere. I just couldn't remember where!" and can't find it in yourself to care when you get grounded for a month. More time to play FM after all.

Vic Taylor Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 You're having an argument with your girlfriend (totally unrelated to anything FM) and she says "you've got a problem".

And, when you realise your mistake about twenty seconds later, instead of going and apologising, you fire up FM to get a happiness boost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
