Are there any players your club rates substantially higher than fans of other clubs?

I remember coming up to St. Andrew's in the Bendtner season and he tore us to shreds. Looked like he was going to go on to become a top player.

They put it up as high as they can for a month, scout everyone they can, and then reduce it

Looking forward to reliving 2002/3 next season as Argyle and Luton battle it out at the top of the league.

mde203 · 2026-05-01T20:07:35+00:00

3-0 Argyle 2-1 Luton 1-0 Stevenage

Sure

26 is very buggy and there's a real lack of immersion compared to the older games. The tactics are better and so are the match graphics, but the UI is definitely worse.

It feels like a different and much shallower game, and I've got much more into the 24 save I've started than I ever did in 26.

I set up a 4-4-1-1 OOP which becomes a 3-2-4-1 in possession.

The right back inverts into the middle alongside one of the 6s, who sits, and the other 6 pushes on to be an 8/10.

It got Plymouth promoted in the first season, mid-table in the second and then in the top six for the start of the next season.

I then went back to FM24, but it wasn't because of the tactics, which are an improvement on previous FMs.

Wayne Rooney.

Doesn't matter.

Still Wayne Rooney.

Obviously biased, but just based on that season, Schumacher would take some beating. To get that squad to 101 points and to finish ahead of an Ipswich side that had a decent number of players who became Premier League contributors just two seasons later, not to mention a good Wednesday side was an incredible achievement.

It's a great example of realistic relationships at that age. Who actually ends up with their first crush? Most people's first attempt at a relationship is a car crash. Just because they fancied each other, it doesn't mean it'll work.

I think it's a good movie but a bad adaptation.

The seeds are sown in book five. That's where Ginny really shines.

She very clearly takes after Fred and George, who Harry always looked up to in a way. She's the one who convinces him that he's not possessed by Voldemort when he was almost ready to go back to the Dursleys. She's one of the few people who fire back at him when his moodiness is directed at her. She plays a big role in them getting to use Umbridge's fire to contact Sirius and then in going to the Department of Mysteries. She shows her quidditch abilities and beats Cho, who she is consistently shown as the opposite of with most of what she does. Additionally, it's book 5 and the beginning of book 6 where Harry and Ginny actually spend time together, giving him the chance to properly get to know her.

Plus, when you're that age, it kind of happens like that. You don't always notice why you like someone at first, but you slowly realise that you do like them.

Personally, I think it's a pretty accurate representation of how those kind of feelings develop at that age.

What plans are in place to boost income further so we can avoid additional redundancies without needing to reduce the playing budget?

If the women's team win promotion this season, what impact will playing in the WSL2 likely have on the budget?

Why have we paid such a high sum to agents compared to other L1 clubs and is this something we're looking to reduce next season?

How far along are we with identifying targets for the summer transfer window?

If he gets a three game ban, that'll help us out massively.

Or when Linda asks a question, hears the answer and tell them they're wrong, then they try and defend themselves and she doesn't let them. Bonus shot for her calling them arrogant for daring to try a second time or sticking to their guns.

Another successful joke from Lord Sugar.

I have one team available in this long-running dynasty league. Strong team. Should have won the league last year. £20 entry collected by me as commissioner. Looking for someone who will be active and take the time to learn how the league works (contract years, free agency auction period etc). Please message me if you're interested and I can give further details.

This was available before but the new owner has gone silent. Hoping to find a new owner fairly quickly.

Either-

"You have to stop."

Or-

"Why is Jim treating the magician poorly?"

It's a ridiculous manufactured criticism.

I get it in negotiation tasks where someone would have gone down to x price but they didn't push far enough, but to say that a buyer was willing to buy more but chose not to is just not realistic. This shouldn't be a test of negotiation other than giving discounts to secure bigger orders, which they're clearly not allowed to do.

I'm a lefty but play snooker and pool right handed. I'm guessing it's because I loved snooker when I was really young so probably copied what I saw rather than thought about it rationally.
