Default Best result I've ever had

All I read around here is "it's your tactics" blah blah blah. So, my next game was Arsenal away, and to be honest I always expect to lose when playing away to Chelsea or Arsenal. My home tactics let me down.

So with that in mind I thought right, I'll take on board what all these people are saying and put some thought in to my tactics instead of using the same tactic which gave me a 1-0 win over Derby the week earlier.

The result? Quite possibly the most entertaining and sensational I've ever had.

I played a slow direct style of passing and kept my defensive line very deep. They were dominating possession, and I could see they were all out attack. So I played through balls to Rooney who easily broke through their back line, and bagged 4 goals, all one vs one with the keeper.

Screenshot 2

Obviously because it was ME who won, I now love FM08. However, when I get beaten by Bolton in my next game I will likely go back to hating it.

Yeh, you wait till your next game when you lose 6-0 vs Wigan and then the following game when you win 1-0 and then you'll go on a losing streak of 6 games only to beat Chelsea 3-0 after that

My following game is actually Valencia away in the group stages of the CL. Lazio are also in my group... Talk about unlucky. But I'll probably beat Valencia aswell, then lose to Reading.

It's frustrating but it's all part of football. It's what makes each season interesting. I wouldn't want to win every match 5-0, would be boring. But I certainly wouldn't mind if I keep thrashing Arsenal an Chelsea

My best recent result is beating Arsenal 4-2 with my derby side.

But It's only because jens lehman ran out of his box twice and I scored a 42 yard lob and a 50 yard pass into the goal.
