Just crashed out of the FA Cup and Champions League. Premier League title isn't a worry though as we have a pretty 12 point lead at the top.

We nearly lost to Ipswich

Pfft, my Lewes side (Blue Square South) only just beat the Met Police in the FA Trophy.

Coming to the end of our first season, safe mid-table. Went unbeaten for a couple of months and pulled off some really good wins, but very inconsistent. First season is always tough in the lower leagues. Our finances are dire, but can't really do anything about it until we start performing better.

And in the online game with friends in Belgium, my Diegem side (after moving sides mid-season) just finished outside of the play-offs. The Belgium league structure is odd. The season is split in to three periods, if you win a period you get a play-off place. So, in theory, you could finish at the bottom of the table and still get promoted through the play-offs.

Not seen it in practice, but seen sides in 14th (out of 18) get a play-off spot.

It's interesting.

Only bought FM11 last week. Finished my first season as Newcastle in 12th but have had a terrible start to my 2nd season. Played 6 matches so far. Lost 5 of them, including to Burnley in the Cup and drawn a match vs Stoke. Lost a huge chunk of my midfield due to injuries as well, gonna be a tough season

nothing quite like dominating a cl final against liverpoo, and winning 2-0. sweet.

needed it to. finished 2nd to ac in the league, and went out in the copa italia semis, despite wining the first leg 2-0, away from home...

oh and gerrard went off injured. boss.

Well, I got fired by Newcastle and took over at Wolves. Finished the season in 8th so pretty pleased and have been given a big transfer budget so have really bought some good solid players into the team plus the stadium is being upgraded and the youth facilities as well. Steven Fletcher and Kevin Doyle, what a partnersship btw, they helped me beat Man U, City and Arsenal last season

wolves were my bogey team at stoke. minor rivals too so the board always fumed.

When I finally beat them I think had 2 men set off.

Hoping for a new start.

Played this game after a long time and lost my first match back to A.Madrid in the champs league. Been losing a lot of league games too, so I think I'm gonna get the sack any day now.

done 2 more seasons with Inter

won the league twice plius the italian super cup twice and the club world championship.

Need to do another double soon for my own sanity.

So, how's the "Do another double for your own sanity" mission going?

Oooh, I enjoyed this so much.

Classic smash and grab! I'm not managing Reading by the way.

not good. won the league for a 3rd season in a row. then lost to ac milan in the champions league final. my two central defenders decided to both have 5.7s for no reason.

beat real madrid 8-7 on aggregate in the semis though. that was fun.

It happens. FM can be a strange game.

From the scoreline, I would definitely it is fun! Mind uploading the screen shot of both matches against Madrid?
