Hello all,

I have been playing CM/FM for about five years now. I joined these forums shortly after my first save game ended. Although I have never posted on here, or elsewhere.

Recently I have been drawn into the LLM Forum more and more. It is wonderful. I have patiently sat on the sideline fearful of posting due to the roasting others receive. Having read the rules on many occassions to avoid such a savage attack on myself. Haha.

The whole point of my rambling is that I have recently taking up the baton on the joys of LLM. Due to my english influences of my dad and grandfather I am running a game which I have begun in English Conference South. Sutton Utd is the sleeping giant I am attempting to awaken. However, after enduring a first season of no win for the first 13 games :o how shameful, to ending up missing out on the play-offs by one point. I am now in my second season, my scout providing me with a few good young players released by their clubs last season I sit on the eve of the first play-off leg. Finishing second this year I would assume to hold a good chance of progressing. Due to injuries to a few key players however it seems as though I may struggle.

Work is busy, I am sore and tired. My real life team sits bottom of the table and have to play the leaders who score more goals than i've seen in my life, yet none of this phases me. I have a headache because I cannot decide how to play or who to replace/drop in FM. My girlfriend when I called for her council and the request that I arrive to her friends engagement party an hour later due to myself "needing" to play the final games of my season was to say the least unimpressed. Although she did display a good retort to me. Sometimes I think you love those players more than me. Well if only she knew the fact that I probably think about them more then her, hehe, it sounds natural to me.

Cheers lads.

Welcome to LLM, tyles. Enjoy your trip, and remember: there is no roasting without a reason. :cool:

Thanks for the wise advise... just let me tell you about this super tactic that I just downloaded. Oh and about this wonderkid I got from the GP&TG!

:eek: Hopes that people realise it is a joke.

I am really really lame. Work = Boredom.

Welcome fellow Aussie poof. :thup:

There's no need to joke about lame'os from GPG. They do that all by themselves.

Welcome chap. It's better to end a joke with one of these little fellas , then we know what you are on about.

Good luck with the game and the girlfriend. (The two are not always compatable!)

retired_kswansonwoolf

I agree, nothing's ever compatable with anything.

If I was to be true to (stereo)type, I'd go on about your spelling, the fact you put council when you meant counsel, etc etc. But I won't. I'll just say hello.

I once had a similar situation, when down the pub, with my mates and my (ex)GF. I told her I loved Guinness more than her!

To which my mate said " But you can't stand Guinness!"
