BEST EVER FOOTBALL MANAGER COMEBACK

I mean, of course, a comeback is only a comeback if they win. Unless anyone disagrees with that

Looking at half of them records, most of them look like they had the assistance of FM Modifier, Seriously, I'm looking at some of the player records and then I look at the players in my game they can't even compare, Their potential isn't even good enough to one-day be that way. :/ *sigh*

Been on teh receiving end of an near-unbelievable AI comeback. As Sheff Wed manager in the 4th round of the FA cup against Birmingham City, I found my self 4-0 up at half time. I Told the players the were doing well, they went back out and scored again on 47 minutes. Then it started. Before the 80th minute it was 5-5! I actually started sweating at this point. Thankfully in extra time My Wiley awarded me a penalty which Malcolm Christie duly dispatched. I actually felt sorry for Brucey afterwards.

2-0 down to Celtic (playing as Rangers) with 11 minutes to go and pegged one back. Equalised in the 89th minute then Billy Sharp scored a hat-trick in injury time as we won 5-2!!

I was Real Madrid, facing ManU in the 8th of Champions League.
I won 6-0 at home for the first leg.
For the second leg, I though it was safe as hell and did not send out my best players.
I lost 0-6 in ninety minutes, and went further to 0-8 after extra time.

Incredible.

It just happened yesterday with the new 8.0.2 (of cox I am not attributing my enbarassing defeat to this)
I went down 0-2 in half time, then I changed two players for the better ones, but.....

I did the same with a Liverpool vs. Everton league cup semi-final. Gubbed them 5-0 at home and sent out reserves for the 2nd leg. Thankfully the return score was 5-1, so I sneaked through but did not deserve it.

Even better, the fans were pleased with the result :p
