Clark needs some support, Gabby and Downing whoever is meant to be on the left isn't getting back

So close. Walker has some real pace.

They look shaken, we have to get the early goal now

Gabby on the left? He better not be.

I got relegated with Pompey. My team completely fell apart at the end of the season. I would be leading games by 2 goals and end up getting hammered. In my last 5 games I conceded 19 goals Down in the championship with £18m in the bank yet my board gave me no transfer budget and a wage budget that was less than what I was currently playing. Had to sell Cudicini and Chimbonda to balance it out. When I asked for more money I was given £40k. Only have 16 players, 7 of them are over 30. Quite a few want to leave after big clubs became interested. Only managed to bring in 3 players on loan. Had a terrible start as well losing 5-2 and 4-1 in my first games before getting angry at the players and they seem to be playing better now with back to back wins. Can't get the board to do anything about our broken down stadium either. They say it has 'character'.

Nice job, in the FA Cup. I had Villa in the forth round, played a weakened side and got destroyed 5-1. I think I might have saved Pompey. 9 games to go, I'm 4 points clear with a game in hand and only Villa and Liverpool as tough games, the rest I should draw or pick up wins. I got a 1-1 draw against Arsenal away and beat Spurs 2-1 at home. If I stay up I need a new GK, 2xCB, LB, RM(backup), ST(poacher). Better get some decent money in the window

Fox was bought at the start of season Clynes my first choice right back Baker is on loan Wilson is in Liverpools first team Konchesky isn't interested Going to try Chimbonda there for a few games but he has been awful whenever he has played

He's injured on my game but looked pretty good. Couldn't find anyone. Will have to try and hang on till the end of the season Got an awful run of games coming up, just have to hope the teams around me don't pick up too many points.

Gone back to my Portsmouth save (had a different file before I left the club) and been using a slightly altered 442 I had developed. Used it 9 games and won 5 lost 4. I'm out the relegation zone, clear by 5 points. I might just have a chance of staying up if my form carries on. At the beginning of January so still a long way to go yet. Desperately need a left back Dickinson just isn't a premier league player. Cleverly and O'Hara have been quality this season, Stuani was doing great when I changed the tactic but tore his hamstring and will be out for 3 months

I have no balls

What division is that in? Might try a game like that once the final patch comes out. Don't think I would do too well though

I've left Pompey, never had a chance of staying up. Managed 8 points from 21 games. I'm now at West Ham, just signed with them till the end of the season, was offered 4 years. Don't want to be here so just keeping them up and hoping to find a new club soon. Was in 18th when I took over. 15th after 2 games 5-1 Newcastle and 2-0 Bolton.

Nope 3-0 but I had some good chances on the break and won a penalty but missed. Think I'll stick with it though, definitely looked a bit more promising. Everton next who are really struggling so could have a chance of points

I've been ok on that as well my worst was 46% against Wigan. I'm normally just over 50% with high 70s in passing. Used limited defenders and set my fullbacks to defending against Liverpool in the cup. They were full strength and I was resting players. Lost 2-0 but to a long range shot and Cudicini not being able to catch a simple ball and dropping it onto Gerrards foot. Looked a bit stronger at the back. Trying a counter attacking game against Man U next see how that works out.

I've not got any problems in attack. I score fine it's just the defending. I'll try the limited defenders. Should I just leave them on defend ore should I use a stopper and cover?

I'm out the transfer window now was given £15m and a target of fighting bravely to avoid relegation so with any luck I'll keep my job once relegated. I kept Utaka, Ben-Haim, Rocha, Kitson, Lawrence everyone else was released or sold. I bought in few frees, Chimbonda (pure shit), Cudacini (too old can't move), Osbourne (back up), Dickinson, Sonko and Vayrynen (experianced midfielder). I got Boyata and Welbeck on loan. The players I bought were all just young players O'hara, Gunnarrsen, Cleverly, Stuani (big target man, Kanu replacement) and Clyne. Was really limited on who I could get because the highest wage I could give was 22k Somehow got 0-0 against Chelsea. Next game at Fulham I'm 3-0 up on 60 minutes they were all over me so tried counter and they scored so took a striker off they score again. Went all out defence and in the last minute of injury time the equalize. I'm bottom with 2 points from 5 games with my next games Liverpool (cup), Man U, Everton, Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal and Spurs. Got a very similar run across February as well. I'm screwed.

Ahhhh the prem is impossible. I'm definitely getting relegated, signed a new team but they can't play together at all. First match against Bolton I'm 1-0 down within 11 seconds. Equalise on 21 minutes before the second half starts where I concede 3 as they just walk through my defence. Newcastle went the same. Went down 2-0 equalise before falling apart and losing 4-2. Next game Wigan I go up 2-0 great, Oh no Rodallega scores 4 goals in 6 minutes. Next game is Chelsea. I concede 4 against average teams this isn't going to be fun I'm guessing 10-0. I think I may well beat Derby's points record

I'm £5.5m in the red. If I can survive in the prem I'll have to give that a go. How much did you need in the bank to get a new stadium?

Oh shit does this mean my stadium is falling apart. I bet my transfer budget for next season gets spent fixing this.

I've only used Danny Wilson and De Laet on loan for 3 months. Stuck with what I started with now. 5 points clear with 11 games to go now though. I better get some decent money next season as I have a squad to replace, counted about 7 players I would keep, some starters mostly back up. Would have like to keep Utaka and Nugent but can't afford the contracts. I'll probably stick with them until managers start going next season and take a prem club if a decent on opens up

I've started a game with Portsmouth. Half way through the first season sitting 2 points clear. Been using a rigid 442 with a deep defensive line Fullbacks on auto CB on defend RM winger attack RCM ball winner support LCM central midfielder defend LM winger support STR target man support STL advanced forward attack Works well in the championship but just played Bolton in the FA cup, lost 2-0 at home so not will probably have to tweak it a bit for the prem. Hoping to get promoted this season but can't wait to get rid of some of my players Mokoena and Brown especially who seem to be competing to see who can have the most cards. Mokoena has 9 yellow and 3 reds, Brown has 8 yellow and 2 reds. Tried setting tackling to easy and telling them to stop diving into tackles but nothing seems to work

Not had that myself personally so this could be completely wrong. I assume the dates 18-12-12 to 1-7-13 is just the planning stages getting the designs and everything in place before the actual build and the 4-6-16 is when the stadium is expected to be ready

I seem to have a massive problem with 1 on 1s. I can normally create at least 1 a game but very rarely score them. Seems to be hit straight at the keeper, miles over or a scuffed shot that goes miles wide. Noticed this a lot in my second season and have scored just 2 from 18 1on 1s Not sure if it is just Gabby and Fonz or if it is a problem with the game

Half way through my second season, looking good for another top 7 finish. At the start of the season I lost both Ireland and Young to injury and they are only just returning in the next month. Signed Micah Richards for £4.4m but I really need a striker for next season as Gabby and Fonz just don't score enough for me and always go through massive goal droughts.

Not managed a 5-0 against them but I had 4-0 and 4-1 in the league. They got relegated as well. First season went well. League - 6th Europa League - 1st knockout round. Wasn't too disappointed about going out League Cup - Semi final. Lost to Sunderland, last minute goal from Bent. They went on to lose the final to League 1 Peterborough FA Cup - Final. Was 1-0 up against Man City until a late Silva goal. They won on penalties. Got manager of the year award. Gabby was my top scorer with 19 and Fonz got 15 Start of the second season my transfer dealings have been. In - Hamsik £20m (worth every penny), Mattock £2.1m, Azpillcueta £12m (Been a bit of a flop at RB, retraining as RM), Rakitic Free, Ustari £4.5m, Onuoha £1.9m Out - Carew £2.6m, Heskey £2m, Dunne £4.2m, Beye £1m, Lowry £2m, Sidwell £1m, Petrov £4.2m, Friedel £500k, Collins Loan £3.7m future fee Hoping for a trophy this season and to add to my points from last season. Top 4 doesn't look likely at this moment
