So we've reached that silly save season time again when most of us in the FM community go rogue having either completed or lost interest in our main save(s). So not wanting to be left out, ladies and gentlemen I present to you a tasty little Ron Atkinson Welsh seaside aside save, that I have … Continue reading The Rondudno way #1: It’s you Ron, Ron, it’s you Ron, Ron..

The Old Lady and Ronaldo #4: finale!
What a season, what a run-in, what a great little save that at times had my heart threatening to jump out of my body. Yes, I am happy to tell you dear followers that we managed to do it; to leave Ronaldo's (and Dybala's et al) Juventus floundering in our wake as we stormed on … Continue reading The Old Lady and Ronaldo #4: finale!
The Old Lady and Ronaldo #3: a cruel mistress
The Sacking of Roma It was all going so well as we returned to the shadow of Vesuvius that evening after beating Roma 2-1 at their awesome Stadio Olimpico, with their anthem of 'Roma Roma Roma' still ringing in our ears. But it was the silencing of it that we remembered most, when our giant of … Continue reading The Old Lady and Ronaldo #3: a cruel mistress

The Old Lady and Ronaldo #1: il Partenopei chiama (The Parthenope calls)

Edited leagues part 2: a busman’s holiday with the real Corinthians
Like pretty much everyone I have always used gaming as an escape and when it comes to FM, for many years for me it has even been an escape from the English leagues as well. I have always been of the opinion that you play the game as you want and in the past I … Continue reading Edited leagues part 2: a busman’s holiday with the real Corinthians
Edited leagues: your final FM18 fantasy?
Hello and welcome to a slightly different blog that explores a side of FM that some hardened fans don't often access, namely pissing about in the editor to create your own complete fantasy/edited league or downloading one created by someone else. Already I can see some of you hitting the back button but bear with … Continue reading Edited leagues: your final FM18 fantasy?
Heathens resurrected 14: Stopping the (gut) rot to end a bad run
Welcome back to a frost-nipped Bank Street on this January morning. The kettle's on and I have a little something special in the kitchen that should warm our cockles, a lovely bottle of Shackleton whisky, recreated from the same blend that the great explorer took to the ice over a hundred years ago. I mention … Continue reading Heathens resurrected 14: Stopping the (gut) rot to end a bad run
Why you should consider using acronym nicknames in Football Manager
In all my experience of playing FM, one of my favourite of all the innovations has been the edit nickname feature, which allows you to set a custom name for any player in the game. In my opinion this is a seriously underused feature that can enhance gameplay, track player details, assist with tactics and … Continue reading Why you should consider using acronym nicknames in Football Manager
