its worth just doing a quick virus check, you never can be sure with torrents, although i found no problems with it
 
Well haven't posted in here for yonks so thought I would tell you about my new game which I started at the weekend. I'm Gremio in Brazil and have one one cup out of one and have been 'mentored' so to speak by a legend on another forum and I have currently gone 31 games unbeaten(31 wins) and have only played 31 games. Class.
 
Iain Turner is an absolute gun. I've been using him for a while in my Everton team now.
 
I recommend anyone who is looking to buy a striker who is at his prime to splash out ?10-14m for Amauri of Palermo. He could be described as being the "Brazilian van Nistelrooy", except a better dribbler and also quicker. A good goal scoring target man to have if you're managing a big club.
 
I kept Grimsby up in League One, thanks to some brilliant performances from Beckford, 48 goals in 2 season for only £6k!

Got Claude Davis coming in and a keeper from 'Boro, need another defender or two.
 
Just finished my first season as Bristol City manager and only just missed out on promotion to the premiership. Although it's probably just as well really! Went into the last game two points behind WBA, however, I had a problem, I had Sheffield Utd away for the last game. They were already promoted as champions and had beaten pretty much everyone. My tactical genius (;)) managed to get us a 2-2 draw, which wasn't enough to get us promotion unfortunately, but at least we still had the play-offs!

Got through the semi-final after a tense battle with Stoke City. Lost the first leg 1-0 at their place, but a faultless performance saw us turn it around with a 2-0 win at Ashton Gate. Onto the final where I would meet Crystal Palace (beat Southampton 5-4 on agg.). I had high hopes after the way we'd performed for most of the season, however, those hopes were smashed into little tiny pieces when we went in at half time 3-0 down having been completely out played. The players got told to pull their fingers out in no uncertain terms, that coupled with a some of tactical changes and substitutions saw the best comeback from us this season. After just 20 minutes of the second half it was 3-3. Palace in turn came back at us but we held them at bay. Full time! Extra time was horribly tense affair, with both sides having one or two golden opportunities to win it, but with just 3 minutes to go in extra time, Clinton Morrison stole it. :(

A shame, but as I said, probably just as well we didn't get promoted.
 
I've had 4 seasons with Manchester United now, I've won three Premier League throphies, 4 Champion's League cups, 2 League cups, 2 FA Cups, and 3 Community Shields. Oh and a couple of those European Cup which the Champions league winner plays the Euro Cup winner.

Oh and i've won the Euro 08 with England (we can only wish) and i've won the World Cup 2010.

Preston have lost thier manager and i'm thinking of going with them, but i may go with Preston but keep my Manchester United save.

My tactic is a 2-4-1-2-1, and attacking mentality, my team now is;

GK; Buffon
DC; Micah Richards
DC; Onouha (May have spelt that wrong)
DWR; Sergio Ramos
DWL; Patrice Evra
DMC; Lampard
DMC; Gerrard
MC; Moutinho (Portugease youngster)
AMC; Kaka
AMC; Rooney
FC; Andy Carroll (From Newcastle)

I've had a change of board which brought funds as well.
