Happy Face 29 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I just liked the idea of a manager getting a touchline ban leaving their bedroom during the game ...and playing Abide with Me and wearing a suit for the cup final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hostile_statue 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 You mean FM Handheld? It's ok. A bit simplistic if you're used to the full game. It's like playing one of the old ones, like 01/02 or the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when i last enjoyed the game...tried a few years ago and was bamboozled by the amount of detail...felt like a full time job all the stuff you had to do before a game.

My mate is the same as you, he likes the stripped back version on handheld. However, you can play the "FM Classic" mode in the main game which is like the handheld version. There are also challenges like; can you survive when you're bottom of the table at Christmas? etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently I'm playing as Newcastle manager with the latest transfers (to other clubs obviously), and the Blyth manager. The challenge is for my Blyth team to beat my Newcastle team in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15531 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 1548: FOOTBALLWest Brom striker Nicolas Anelka walks out on the Baggies, less than two months after signing for the club as a free agent, according to the Daily Telegraph.The former Arsenal, Chelsea and Bolton striker has reportedly cleared his locker at the club's training ground and may even retire from the game entirely."Albion head coach Steve Clarke and technical director Richard Garlick have both attempted to persuade the former France international to change his mind but Anelka did not train on Thursday and subsequently walked out of the club," writes Daily Telegraph journalist John Percy.

The Fish 10857 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I thought his brother was his agent. That's what I thought. Odd phrasing isn't it, if it is his brother and not another ligger, I'd have thought they would have reported it as "Anelka's brother has died"... odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
