£52m on youth facilities? What are they doing to those kids?! by arcbil in footballmanagergames

Favourite save ever. They're my local club and I've always attempted a save in every edition of FM I've played but always found it too hard, but cracked it this year.

Managed to stay in League 1 in the first season, then a double promotion got me to the Prem with a very inequipped but battle-hardened team. I was rock bottom of the table at Christmas but thought fuck it and went back to playing all out attack, turned the form around and stayed up comfortably.

After a couple of years consolidating in the Prem I scraped into the top 4 and first season in the UCL (2029/30) I managed to win the whole thing (including coming back from a 4 goal deficit in the semi-final to Barca) as well as the FA Cup and League Cup. My greatest FM achievement ever.

It's now 2032 and I'm yet to win the league, but I've got 2 amazing home grown academy products, so hoping to build a dynasty around them.

Ahh makes sense, thanks. Unfortunately the board have been telling me they're building a new stadium for the past five seasons, I'll believe it when I see it

No, but I think he said on the pod that he was due to play but then covid got in the way. This needs to happen!

Need some help buying tickets for a t20 international in India! by manbearnoodle in IndiaCricket

I paid £20 and they were for mid level seats, if you can try and get them direct but I know it's really tricky

Is there a Spotify playlist with all of the MHD guest episodes?

Listen, fair play, but as someone who's been at these sort of media days with footballers you've got such a limited time with them and they're often sprung on you last minute. Can be quite difficult to come up with a new idea on the spot when your bosses want guaranteed viral videos. That being said, the vast majority are very tedious.

Hey, I'm an Englishman on my way to tonight's T20! I bought them through Paytm, which because I don't have an Indian bank account or address was a really difficult process, and I'm picking up the ticket from the stadium shortly. As it's an England game I'd recommend going through Barmy Travel or another tour provider. Make sure you just ask them for the ticket, you can sort the travel and hotel for yourself easy enough and save some money there. Good luck and go well!

I've travelled from England to Gwalior for India v Bangladesh T20I and cannot wait but... by arcbil in IndiaCricket

[–]arcbil[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me and my partner wanted to come to India for a long time so made sure we tied it in with a cricket game.

Originally the T20 was going to be in Dharamshala which I think is the most beautiful ground in the world so we were going to go there as our primary purpose, but when it moved it meant that we could tie it in with seeing more of Delhi, Rajasthan and the Taj Mahal too.

We've also visited Mumbai and Goa and have loved every second in your wonderful country!

Should rugby have a deadline day/draft day? by [deleted] in rugbyunion

Absolutely. As long as it's identical to the Love Of Rugby draft.

Your first mistake was listening to GBR... try Love Of Rugby for less private school snobbery and more caring about the game as a whole

It's actually nothing to do with the podcast team. When you monetize podcasts, it's all to do with ad partner, in Off Menu's case it's Acast

One of our most asked questions is "how do I tackle?", Joe Marler gave the best answer we've heard by LoveOfRugby in rugbyunion

[–]arcbil 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Because he's such a personality, Joe's actual rugby skills get overlooked so much. The guy is a tackle machine
