    You turned the wrong way at Starbucks - he was a character in Battlestar Gallactica. Battlestar Gallactica was a poor mans rip off of Star Wars....

    I'm on my 3rd season with Djurgardens, and unsuccessfully trying to implement the traditional (don't look it up) Sexy Swedish 4-3-3, involving short passing, high pressing and free-roles... Having been picked to pieces in the majority of games, even when starting Seb Rajalakso whose stats are mysteriously low, I'm convinced FM is racist. It's the only possible answer.

    I think I must just be really good at FM, cos I always win the league after about 3 years as Newcastle, no matter which ways I do it. I have 3 save files, all of which are domestic treble winners, ans the first also a Champions League winner:

    1:
    -------------Krul-------------
    Srna---Subotic--Colo--Santon
    ----------Busquets
    ------Sahin-----Willian------
    Douglas Costa---------Gaitan
    ---------Ibrahimovic*-------

    Subs: Zouma, Benni, Cabaye, Marin, Asamoah, Dzagoev, Doumbia

    * offered him on a loan, 0% wages, no fee. Brilliant game fail...

    2:
    ------------Krul---------------
    Santon--Colo--Astori--Coentrao
    -------Cabaye--Fernandinho---
    Dzagoev-----Modric-----Willian
    ------------Neymar-----------

    Subs: Saylor, Tiote, Benni, Canales, Cardozo, Casemiro, Gaitan

    3:

    ----------------Krul---------------
    Santon--Colo----Vertonghen--Coentrao
    DCosta---Cabaye--Willian---Cazorla
    --------------Dzagoev-------------
    ---------------Doumbia------------

    Subs: Saylor, Schennikov, Tiote, Asamoah, Honda, Marin, Eduardo

    They truly are sexual teams, are they not?

    Agent Bruce is the nickname of Steve Bruce, current Hull City Boss... Hull City is located in Kingston upon Hull in the UK, and Kingston happens to be the capital of Jamaica... "Jamaica" is the "punchline" to the joke beginning "My wife went to the West Indies..."... Punchlines are commonly found at stand-up(unless I happen to be on), so called due to the performer standing-up before the audience... Standing up is what happens when you head to the match via public transport... Public transport can involve buses, metros, trains etc... Train prices in the UK reached record highs in 2012, with a season ticket costing £3,380 between Edinburgh and Glasgow... Glasgow is the alleged birthplace of William Wallace (among other "famous people" born there, according to information Britain, is Kelly Dalglish... Daughter of Kenny... Which makes her famous apparently), and William Wallace was portrayed in "Braveheart" by Mel Gibson... In 1991, Mel Gibson made homophobic (nope, not going to take the easy way out... I prefer it hard... that's what he/she said) remarks to Spanish newspaper El Pais... El Pais is produced in Madrid... Madrid is the third biggest city in the EU, after Berlin and London... London was the locale of Ronald Hubson's Central Car Parks company... Archaeologists recently uncovered remains under Leicester car park belonging to Richard III... Richard III was played (and partly written) by Sir Ian McKellen in the 1995 film... Sir Ian Mckellen later played Gandalf...


    BOSH BOSH BOSH <ok>

    Why's everyone gone? <wah>

    They are indeed oh Guru!

    I get bored on FM and cheat til I win everything. Bet Pardew wishes he could reboot every time we lose! Djurgardens is the first time I've played it honestly, and the fans absolutely hate me. B******* <wah>

    Little do they know I'm shacking up with a local BB runner in the northern quadrant of Stockholm, a lonely old widower, to save costs and saving the pittance they offer as a wage (£550 a week) to build my supplies of Kerosene, petrol and matches in her basement so I can set-up an inferno pre-match (my rank as manager being the perfect alibi) and burn them all alive at the next home game... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! #Deserved #that'swhatyougetforpissingmeoff #Ijustwannabeloved

    <laugh> someone obviously doesn't have the imagination(s) for a terrific computer game back-story... Yeah, I'm 25 on FM because of the age limiter thing, but I've just randomly started existing at that point, with all the necessary qualifications to be a football manager? Unlikely.

    No, in this profile I was an Italian orphan, Mr Gandalpho, who was turned out of state-funding and onto the streets aged 16. Following alcohol and substance abuse, which necessitated implications in burglary and mild prostitution, I was a homeless 20 year old wreck, wandering the Italian countryside until I hit the lights of Milan. On entering the fair city, I took refuge with a local bum, who taught me the skills I'd need to survive the bitter winter (but enough about the perfect bj). Unfortunately, he died in my arms two weeks later.

    One day two years later, begging for money near the San Siro, a wizened, but youthful looking grey haired lothario named Jose came across me... And using the 500 Euros he passed to me as an extra tip ;);), and the advice that football management was the way to go to earn mega-bucks, I headed down to the local Italian Coaching school. After 3 years of processing the various FIFA and UEFA certified courses, I was fully qualified, although I skipped the Italian's extra year of bribery school to find a job.

    At random I sent my CV to every known football employer in the world, and finally I was asked to interview for the job with Djurgardens... The rest, as they say, is the present...

    Never. It's never safe. There's some right weirdos on the internet <whistle>

    I collect retro games/systems. Moved into a new place with a basement so setting up a gaming man-cave. Planning to get a couple of arcade cabinets for it this year.

    Have you considered constructing a MAME cabinet? Well worth it if you don't mind the fact it's an emulator.
