That sounds like a really weird problem.
Chocolate, pizza and American muffins are all calorie bombs you could stuff your face with, if it's just the calories you want.

We've had an absolutely sensational start to our first Premier League season, I thought the board was being unrealistic with their expectations of a mid-table position, but with a first half like this we might very well end up in Europe.
Sakho has carried on his fine form from last season, thanks to his 14 goals he was chosen as the African Player of the Year ahead of FC Bayern defender Mehdi Benatia who was probably the more deserving winner. Newcomer Matt Phillips has been dominant on the right and Jesse Lingard has revealed himself as an absolute bargain.

Considering the same thing has happened to Raul, Gerrard and others I'm really not surprised when it happens again any more. Clubs at the top level are obviously less sentimental than most fans would like them to be these days.

They probably have doubts about whether he can put himself in scoring positions at the highest level. Being a great finisher doesn't matter much if you never get into any good opportunities to shoot.

Typical real life clubs, always have to make building a strong team on Football Manager more difficult! Udinese snapped up Samir from Flamengo earlier in the window too.

While we had a fantastic season last year in the Championship, I never really felt comfortable playing the 4-2-3-1 our squad forced me into playing, so I did the most I could with the £24M transfer budget I was given and built a squad that truly feels like my own. Several key players from last year were sold either to fund superior replacements or because they didn't fit into what I am trying to do tactically. After our struggles last year finding a top quality centre back pairing was my highest priority, and I think it is safe to say that in Juan Jesus and Robin Knoche we have one of the best in the entire division, at least on paper. I also sought out to bring in some of the most talented players from the Championship, and after Derby stuck a £24M price-tag on Will Hughes I ended up beating Inter to the signature of Adrien Rabiot who was desperate to leave PSG for first-team football.
Tactics:
Tactically, we will be looking to play simple, high tempo, high pressing football, suffocating the opposition's creative players by flooding the midfield and creating our own chances from aggressive play on the wings, scoring primarily from crosses or wingers cutting inside. The flat 4-5-1 formation is ideally suited for the football we desire.

Franck
Nah, I think both Mahrez and Vardy are due for increases Maybe just a few points here and there, but I'd be really surprised if they aren't improved. Have to remember that their attributes were set based mostly on a season where Leicester were shit, and the two of them only scored 8 goals in total.
Drinkwater is atrocious on FM right now, so I'd be shocked if he doesn't get a significant raise after the patch. Not that it'd matter too much as they'd still have Amartey who is an absolute beast.

Champions! The amazing form that had carried us through most of the season dipped from April and onwards as we suffered a minor injury crisis, but we held on to the title as challengers Hull completely collapsed at the same time and missed out on promotion completely. The loans of Rolando Aarons and Nick Powell and the signing of Diafra Sakho turned out to be great moves, while Wednesday product Liam Palmer dominated down the right. Now comes the challenge of building a team capable of staying in the Premier League.

February was a good month, one really poor result against Preston but otherwise a good run of strong results, the win against Hull being the highlight.

The goals by Hélan and Souttar were both absolutely lovely:
Unfortunately this was a costly victory, as Rolando Aarons tore a groin muscle and will be out for 2-3 months.

I just can't seem to catch a break when it comes to my defence. First I lose McNair to injury for 5 weeks literally an hour after he signed and now I might lose Hangeland, who has been an absolute rock since signing for us, for the rest of the season.

January turned out to be a big improvement over the previous month, with new signing Diafra Sakho leading the way. Still 5 points off Hull, but if Sakho can keep his dominant form going I see no reason why we wouldn't catch up.
With his 6 goals from 4 matches Sakho was also selected as the Championship Player of the Month:

December turned out to be a bad month for us, the month started with us being destroyed by Danny Ings in the League Cup and ended with a crisis in our defence, as injuries and suspensions saw us play six different central defenders. We really need to turn things around in January if we are to stay in the title race, another month like this from us would give Hull an insurmountable lead, I'll be looking for a consistent goal scorer and some improvements for our defence in the transfer market to make sure that does not happen.

After a strong start to the season and a very strong month of November we find ourselves at the top of the table, most of the season remains, but our ambition has been set. We want to win the league.
After three wins and a draw, I was selected as the Manager of the Month for November, while players from our club swept the Player of the Month vote:

Introduction:
Nicknamed The Owls, Sheffield Wednesday are one of the oldest professional football clubs in the world, having been founded in 1867, in the Football League only Notts County, Stoke City and Nottingham Forest can boast of being older. Wednesday have a long history and storied history, but they have not played top flight football since 2000 and have not won a major trophy since 1991, when they won the League Cup. With their 150th anniversary looming just around the corner, I think it is time for that to change.

Started without transfer budgets in the first window so my transfer activity was limited to loans and free transfers. I still feel I managed to strengthen my squad considerably though, Kevin Nolan will add experience, leadership and aerial prowess to our midfield, Rolando Aarons gives us pace on our left wing, Andreas Pereira and Nick Powell give us flair and creativity and Konrad Laimer is a very promising youngster that I'll definitely look to sign permanently if we are promoted.

Why? The trequartista role differs enough from both the second striker and the attacking midfielder to deserve its own word, it would be difficult to properly describe a player like Francesco Totti without it. I suppose you could say number 10 instead, but number 10 is pretty much the most useless role description in football as it could mean just about anything.

Meh. The action scenes were great, the car chases were good, the Bond girl was pretty, the cinematography was at Sam Mendes usual, outrageously high standard and the ending would tie up the Craig-era nicely. I can't really ask for much more than that from a Bond film.
I can live with a villain with a poorly thought-out motivation of personal resentment and greed, especially considering the cartoon clowns we used to get pre-Craig.
Waltz is conditionally signed on for two more films. He'll be back if Craig returns, which doesn't seem likely at the moment.

Because Bond stole his father's attention away from him, yes. It's pretty common for children to hate younger siblings for that reason, Blofeld clearly has some combination of personality disorders that has aggravated that resentment.
