Newcastle came back up quite quickly and are now quite a decent side
Spurs are doing really well, 'Arry didn't last too long though.
so that probably means he will be on sky sports even more, he is never off that program!
Decisons
send them my way
if i had to get rid of one i would let hargreaves go

Tony Mow took over and Spurs are really good under him. Actually really tough playing against them.
Only just beat Aston Villa though (who were **** in the league) in the FA Cup Final, beat them with I think 7/8 players out injured

Could keep them both on for about 70k + bonus a week, which isn't bad for them both. 30k for Rio a week and about 40 for Hargreaves. Both good players still.
Have 50 million to play with and no idea who to buy, I need a right winger as Valencia isn't outstanding. Obertan and Ljajic are coming on quite well though.
Midfield is okay, Cattermole / Fletch / Rodwell doing very well, Anderson outstanding as per.
Up top, Berba and Rooney continue to net nearly 80 goals between them, Rossi again, if he plays he scores. Welbeck and Macheda are the cup guys, Welbeck scored 15 I think (including the silly super cup thing you play on the other side of the world).
Defence, well thats sorted.
Goal, Foster gets annoyed he isn't first choice but Akinfeev is just
amazing.Don't know how to spend the 50 million, might look to off load Valencia. See if I can lure Ronaldo back or maybe a cheeky bid for someone else.
Will have a look, tar.
I quite like them young so I can break them in (meh sounds wrong).
50k
You can get him cheap in the first few seasons. I'm at the start of my 3rd season and PSG accept £1-200k offers. He won't join me though (Notts Co.)
First season.
He's only 20, but is coming on really well.
Will post a screenshot when I'm home.
Just finished my first season as Real Madrid, went very well in all competitions.
I decided to buy Lahm as my first big signing, followed by Gourcuff in January;
Bringing in a few people I decided to sell Metzelder (went the whole season with 3 DC's!) and loaned back out a few;
Oddly, Fulham are my Feeder Club and I offered them to them yet they had to pay, weird!
My formation for most of the season, towards the end the roles of MC/DM were changing, and sometimes chose to replace the DM with an AMC (Gourcuff mostly);
La Liga went pretty well, I had a few scares with a few games, but ended up scoring to make up for it. I conceded more than I really should have, mostly to crap teams too! I managed to go the whole season unbeaten, after drawing one of my first few games, some very late winners for this though!

Next season I'm aiming to concede less, as I shouldn't have gone much over 10, with the games I conceded in.
The Champions League was hectic, suspensions everywhere with my players, but the Final was just ridiculous;

God knows what happened there! Enjoyable to watch though
Went on to win the Spanish Cup (3-1 vs Barcelona), to round up the season.
Few stats of players;

The light highlights are areas I need to definitely improve, and the shaded are the players I'm thinking of replacing, not sure about Diarra yet, but he seems to play pretty poorly and spend half his time suspended.
Thinking of signing a few big named players, but not sure who yet, atm i'm thinking;
David Silva - add competition to my midfield, and possibly replace Granero
David Villa - always want to sign him, and might replace Raul/Nistelrooy with him
Antonio Cassano - just been offered him for £13.5m, so might sign him for the sake of it!
Then looking at maybe a new DM, and maybe a new star defender which again I'm not sure about!
Good season though

i wish newcastle had money, from the start you get nout and then ashley sells up and i got about £11 off the new owner, yet struggled to sign bigger popular names.
i jew drew away to burnley 2-2 in the epl, was 1-0 down, then came back 2-1, and the buggers scored an equaliser at the last minute - as every team does to me!
ps, diarra is a dirty tackler isnt he for you?!

Just me playing FM now? 
Finished the second season....pretty much the same as the first season really..
Signed a few players, some went straight out on loan, or in my U19's (highlighted);
Sold quite a few players, would post a screeny but it's flooded with freebies!
Out;
Drenthe (AZ) - £1m Loan
M Diarra (Zaragoza) - £3m
El Shaarawy (Fulham) - £2.8m Loan
Michel (Fulham) - £200k Loan
Guti (Galatasaray) - £250k
Alvaro Arbeloa (Sevilla) - £15m
Alipio (Fulham) - £900k Loan
Guardado (Fulham) - £1.7m Loan
Opare (Ejido) - Loan
Marcelo (AC Milan) - £14.5m
van der Vaart (Everton) - £1.3m Loan
Gerson (Fulham) - £28k Loan
Beckham (Fulham) - £26k Loan
L Diarra (Chelsea) - £16.75m
Some cheaper than I would have liked, got them off the wages though.
Pretty much the same formation, but with Diarra gone I used Gourcuff as AMC;
The players weren't always like that, that was when Alonso was injured.
League went well again, managed to concede less, but I'm still not keen on the defence!

Kaka and Ronaldo were unbelievable, getting over 60 assists between them

My squad is pretty small now, and I might get rid of a couple more, and get the spanish numbers up, thinking of re-signing Soldado as another striker, for when Raul is not good enough, and maybe selling Gago, as I don't really use DM's anymore, so might sign another backup MC.
Another good season though, won the Quadruple two times in a row

Here we go, the final league table. Last few games we slipped and completely lost motivation to hammer everyone more as we already had the league really 
And my winning 11 (Den Davies ended up on the bench after Gasmi turned out to be a beast on the wing)
Anyone got any league one top transfers? Notts co. have a good few million to play with and i sort of want a shock cup run this year....
