what a last 16 tie. i drew 2-2 in germany with stuttgart. then at ibrox, took the lead in the 16th minute through boyd. all i needed to do was win or draw 0-0 or 1-1. they equalised in the 81st minute and i thought oh no, here we go, but only a minute later, brilliant play set up ferguson in the box who smashed the ball into the corner 2-1, only 3 minutes later, stuttgart had the ball in the back of the net, OFFSIDE!! I hung on for a 2-1 win and im in the last 8!!!

edit: inter in the last 8, oh well.

0-0 with inter at ibrox, need a scoring draw or win at san siro to get to last 4.

and heres this for drama, 2-0 up against united in first half at tannadice, 2nd half they get 2 goals, 90th minute, pass the ball about into the box, cut back to edge of area diaby whacks in 3-2 winner!

Just fired up a new game with Wigan.

They have a fairly decent side considering the board have basically already conceded relegation. If you tell them you will get relegated, you get £8m to spend, if you say you will avoid relegation then you got £12m, which isn't bad.

I'll keep y'all updated.

im rolling a 5-1-2-1-1 in the league and europe and its working a treat, got to the last 16. its primarily a back 3 with 2 full backs sitting forward in line with a def mid, 2 players in the centre in front of him and an attacking mid free role in front of him, lone striker, although you can take the def mid out for another striker if needed. darcheville has scored masses of goals for me

not bad?! thats fucking brilliant lol. Im liverpool and if i say im gonna challegen for the league, i get 8m and if i say im gonna win it i get 13mil

:lol:

The only downfall is that their balance is only about £5m, so if you were to spend the budget all at once you would go into debt. Unless you pay in installments, which I try to do.

i tried a 4-2-1-2-1 against arsenal and lost 1-0 at the emirates but reverted back to 4-4-2 against juve in italy and got beat 3-1 , stuck with the 4-4-2 against hannover for the double header and drew both games 0-0, it seems that i am jinxed in europe im now into my 3rd season my last two campaigns ended in the group stages

cool, jcd is 7 in europe, 4 in cup and 28 in league... worst thing about my formation is no target man so against quality sides (like inter) JCD wont win headers.

i just got knocked out of the last 8 on penalties after a 0-0 draw at the san siro :( maybe next time chaps

5 games left in the season, im 1 win away from securing the league.
