I must admit I do have a habit of reacting badly to conceding 'unjust' goals on FM and CM. On CM4 I was involved in a fierce battle against my younger brother (and as anyone who has a little brother knows, you CANNOT let him beat you at anything!). I was Chelsea, he was Man Utd. He had dominated the league for a number of years and I had only recently moved from Serie A as Roma, so I was keen to destroy him during the first season - a keeness that led to the occasional frustrated outburst. This was made worse by the fact we would watch each others games, ultimately hoping for one another to bugger up. Obviously the moment either of us conceded the frustration was doubled by the fact that you knew your counterpart was sniggering with glee behind your back.
Things came to a head during an expected home victory for me. The season was drawing to a close and it was truly "squeaky-bum" time. The opposition scored against the run of play and it prompted a thick cloud of red mist to descend around my head.
I ripped the sliding surface from the computer table and furiously threw it at the 10ft window in the room. It crashed directly into the middle of it, but somehow didn't smash.
My little brother just looked at me, bewildered and said.
"You're ******* crazy..."
He was right, but I still went on to win the league and beat him in the Champions League final, so it was worth it. :p

I hope he's not your mate any more.
Has anyone (probably everyone) seen the German kid playing FM on Youtube. If you haven't I suggets you look at it.
I do get a bit exasperated at times. I'm pretty good at the game, I don't often lose badly but I usually get really ****ed off if my team is drawing at home to some garbage from the relegation zone, especially if my star striker has picked this game to turn into sh*t. My absolute pet hate is when your keeper launches the ball upfield,towards the towering figure of kris Commons or Shaun Wright Phillips, the huge centre half gets his head on it, the ball goes past your advancing centrebacks and the opposition striker has a clear run on goal. Why are keepers so disobedient!!! he's got a perfectly good fullback to give it to but no he has to punt it long to no one... oh here I go... losing my rag...

Course he is. I hate cats. It was probably the single most hillarious thing I've seen for a long time.
Twas the cats fault. It fell of the table, landed on the wires to the PC, pulled them out with 2 minutes remaining in the CL final. He was playing as Watford against Madrid and was 3-1 up.
