Things that made you laugh in your game?

Not in FM12 (I think it happened in FM08...)

I always used to set up friendlies with the rarest teams I could find. I remember I was Macclesfield and European Champions, and used to go on pre season tours to Guam and Vanuatu. Would play all the teams available (about 3) and used to have a combined score of around 42-0
I remember I also invited some team from the solomon islands for a friendly, and all they wanted was 1k. They must have taken some hit on the airfare, sending 22 players to England from the south pacific.
they probably all sought asylum after the match..

Jose Mourinho gets fired from Real Madrid and takes over Chelsea. After 6 months he is then fired and they hire Carlos Ancelotti. Blast from the past x2

Playing tonight, and was moving one of my reserves into fitness training to get his stamina up when I noticed this:



I have no recollection ever creating this training regime. I think I may have made it when hammered some night and decided to pick on someone who was leaving the club.
Looking at the training regime itself:



I have them doing absolutely nothing!

Should have them all on the highest setting!

That's what I do whenever someone decides to leave on a free transfer in six months time.

retalivity

i think the logic was that they were leaving on a free to one of my rivals, so i wanted their stats to deteriorate as much as possible.
Playing FM drunk is great!

My striker Xavi Andorra, who's from Andorra, just scored the winner away to Barcelona 'B', in the Miniestadi, the stadium often used by Andorra for home matches. IRL he plays with Andorra FC

Didn't make me laugh but did put a smile on my face

Playing in the Championship with Cambridge United, dragged them up from the BSQ

My young striker loaned from Man Utd is happy and thankful

This isn't a funny post or anything special

I just liked it as the rest of the feckers are constantly whinging, moaning and there seems to be a 50:50 chance I'll piss off the entire squad if I hold a team meeting :rolleyes:

I did something similar a few years ago. I renamed Claudio Pizarro "Wanker" after he scored against me in the German cup final. I could not remember doing it, but it was pretty funny when Wanker scored against me again a few months later.

Paul McShane has just been named captain of the national team by Roy Keane. God help us!!

In fact I don't think I've ever been the faourite to win it

I think his wages alone would have me bankrupt in around 4 days.

How the hell did they sign him? Couldnt sign him for love nor money.

Went to start a new game and did the Pick a club for me option. Never done it before so decided to see who it picked.

I never start as a big team so this was rather amusing first few attempts:
Arsenal
Man City
Tottenham
Chelsea

I have down to League 2 loaded but it only picked top six sides so I gave up and just picked myself.

I loaded 7 nations and all the leagues in them nations so I would get a random team when I did that as I thought I'd try some random country and team. I always take the 5th pick the 5th pick of course is Southampton. Not exactly a random team in a random country .

Hey don't knock Southampton, in 2015 and in a fight for the title with 15 games to go!

Playing FM07. Got my new youth intakes, assistant manager says this chap is going to be a star. That's his real name, I haven't edited it :P

In my game Lyon play in both Ligue 1 and the Championnat (3rd Division) no idea how that happened

Pauvre Con

I know in France the reserve teams play in the 4th tier but they shouldn't be getting promoted to the Championnat National! Reminds me of my Real Madrid squad in Champman 00/01 - my reserves almost got promoted to La Liga but missed out in a 3-way head-to-head in the final table. Probably not allowed to happen in real life either!

retalivity

im pretty sure it doesnt happen in the game either... i remember way back managing barcelona in one of the olders and i used to sign players just for the reserves to try and get them promoted...wouldnt allow them into la liga

Pauvre Con

I wonder in real life if a reserve side would be allowed to play in the second division? They've got to draw a line lower down the league system i'd have thought.

Edit: actually just found this http://www.quora.com/La-Liga-2011-12-Season/Can-Barcelona-B-get-promoted-to-La-Liga

Christ Barca have a good squad....
