Default Things in FM that make you laugh

Well, I'm in a childish mood. I've just seen 2 things in my FM game which have made me chuckle.

First of all, I was quite amused that there is a team in Germany quite simply called 'Worms'.

Also, a team called Baradona hired their new manager whose surname is Gay. I was just amused by the news headline 'Baradona hire Gay as manager'. Daffyd would be proud!!

Sorry for the (sort of) staff naming!

I had a similar one, with a manager who moved clubs.

First it was "Ipswich sack Wales", then it was "Birmingham sack Wales".

Looks like Wales was invaded many times

I like the players who have both names the same - Neville Neville style

This forum doesnt ban player dad naming right?

I've had similar things in German games with staff of all sorts whose surname is "Christ". Just about every media message becomes far funnier when that's involved.

"Aalen will be relegated, says Christ".

Is there an issue with a Re-gen being named? I thought that would (just about) be acceptable.

;D

There's a Danish team called Middelfart, as well!

Another funny team name is Cockburn from Australia.

Shame there's no team based in the Austrian town of Fucking, or Twatt in the Orkneys, or even Titty Hill in Sussex!!

Apologies for the blatant swear-filter avoiding!

Never. Search the floodgate scenario.

I posted my biggest laugh of recent FM-ness in the main forum because it includes player naming but then I guess no one in their right mind would ever find/sign this guy and it very funny so please forgive me Lemon Moo . I found an Omani guy with part of his name being noob too, I signed him, wasn't that bad. Less funny but more recent I started a game in Hungary and saw the team Budafok.
