@Leglean: I understood the implication perfectly, thank you. Juventus is also the name of some lower league team in South America. Get in touch with Seamus. We've finally got him to understand irony (I think), perhaps he can explain it to you too. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Sure I can explain... NJ &gt; Texas.

We do lots of ironing in NJ whereas Texans, well... (something tells me safety wink is needed here so ).

NJ&lt; Colorado, however. That said, the sobs on the East Coast have to get their mail before the rest of us. It's been over a week for me and no sign of it yet. Bad part is I'll be out of town all next week, so it may be almost December before i see either my new PC or FM2005. Of course, if the new PC would've worked when I took it out of the box the 1st time, I would'nt have had to wait 2 weeks for a replacement order...

Actually, mkus, I believe the name of the LLM team is Juventude, in Brazil. :p But there is another team named Juventus in Brazil, I believe. You may actually be correct! Anyhoo, somehow I doubt that anything of importance happens in NJ. Although y'all may surprise me. And yes, I ride a horse everywhere I go. ; ). Updates/game might be coming soon. Let's see how far this baby can go before the game gets here. :p

And to think, we ordered it from the left coast, didn't we Julian?

@Kfoolmoon: I've played the demo several times, no crashes. Yes, I know it can crash, but I'll work through that if it does(and save often.) Trust me, this thread will happen.

Good to hear :thup:

Alrighty, after 13 days of waiting, the game finally gets here:

1 day of packing/shipping
say, a week of going across the Atlantic,
and then 3 days sitting in the idiotic uni mail center because they can't sort!!!! (sorry, rant over)

Now, I have chosen to play as Arsenal Kharkiv, with a 3000 seater stadium and half a million pounds in the red. Fun as always, especially with just 15 players at the start, and one Brazilian(every self-respecting Ukranian team has to have one). I'll update more later, I have class and then watching the Red Morons take on Lyonnais in the CL(thanks ESPN, only one CL game per matchday!!!!)

The first real update. If it's not up to LLM standards, I apologize.

July:

Ah, the joys of starting during the Inter-Toto Cup(or thereabouts)! With the squad size at 17 and injuries/players playing out of position, it’s a wonder we managed to get to 5th place so far, 4 pts. off the promotion spots. And with my luck(or lack of it) at getting loanees to arrive in Kharkov, we are barely filling a first team. Hopefully my scout can find some good free players.

As for the first team, up front and in the net Arsenal are superb, of course the star striker is on loan from our fellow Kharkovians, Metalist. The main problem is searching for a good left and right back, as well as a solid midfielder or a DM C. At least the club makes profit. And I’ve sunk a few quid in our promotion hopes(100-1 odds, if Greece can do it, so can we!).

August:

Going out of the Cup in the first match of August is not a good omen. Indeed, after we lost our next league match as well, it looked like August would be a month to forget. However, the players stepped up and delivered in an incredible match against Shakhtar Donetsk’s reserves(in 2nd place at the time) and managed to come from behind and grab all three points in Donetsk. A draw against the lesser Kyiv team(CSKA) put us in a safe 8th spot with 16 pts. Injuries mean however that Arsenal is lucky to field 2 players on the sub’s bench.

September:

Luckily for us, there were only 3 games in September. That meant less chances to fall. Only taking 4 points from these games, however, might not be lucky, as we were now in 9th but with a 13-point shield between ourselves and Polissya Zhytomyr in the relegation zone. Arsenal will have 4 new players come February, when the transfer market opens again(silly Ukraine!). And so we look forward to October, the last real month of competition until March(except for 2 games in November).

Jesus H. Christ!!! :eek:

Leglaen: The FM Story Forum is at the third door on the right. Otherwise, keep it neat and simple: One or at most two paragraphs about how your season has been are more than enough...

Have a look around and get familiarised with updating. There are some updates around here and I think you'll find none goes into that level of detail.

Leglaen

I apologize for the lack of a recent update, i'll remedy that later, as soon as I can get past some schoolwork.

As for the writing, I will shorten it, however if you can't be bothered to read three paragraphs that discuss practically half the season, then I don't see how you can be in LLM. It may be slightly longer than others, but Iajafer said in the Rules that updates every half season or so are good. I may have streched that a bit.

You're re-writing his words a bit there...

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>
Updates, by LLM definition, are short posts relating important happenings in your game and should be posted once, twice at a push, per season.

Game results should only be posted if they are unusual or important, your position in the League is of interest.

No Tables, Competition Results, etc. involving Clubs other than your own should ever be posted.

A few lines describing your progress, or lack of it, are all that's needed. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
