millsy1982 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 You know you've played too much when, you sit in the pub with your mate describing the pro's and cons of Sergio Aguero even though you've only ever seen him play once IRL. This one happend to me last night. During an Arsenal Vs Sunderland game I got a penalty. Van Persie wasn't playing so Adebayor stepped up to take the pen. I remembered that the last one he took (1 and half seasons ago) he missed and shouted out loud "you better f**king score this one". He duly delivered and got a massive "GET IN" from me.

Management Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 You know when you've played FM too much when: <*> Clubs/Players you had never really heard of before become one of your favourites. <*> You start editing competitions to put non-playable teams in to use then going on ebay to find some supporters apparel. <*> You have a notebook with your squad listed (with position specific stats) and think of possible combinations, transfers, formations & Tactics that could help in you're upcoming season. and the extreme: <*> Your GF locks you out of the house and threatens to call the police & all you want to do is finish this season...(Purely Hypothetical of course) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
