Donny Rovers, much better team to manage! Seems to be going better for you as well

Hah, it makes no odds who they sack whilst they're still there.

No one following this then? Plenty of drama. Mourinho cancelled his press conference yesterday as the press room was overcrowded and topping 40 degrees, eventually had a make-do press conference on the pitch.

Now, they've cancelled the Manchester Derby game that was meant to happen today. United say the officials cancelled it due to the state of the pitch and imminent bad weather. Ssn say that they've spoken to the officials and they wanted the game to ahead but the Manchester teams colluded and said the pitch was not good enough for then to play on. Sky reporter there was pitch side, and whilst it made the pitch at Bloomfield look luxurious, it was still playable and the excuse of rain was practically laughable.

Damn Dingles, they give the people of Lancashire a bad name when they do stuff like this!

Currently in April and my two midfielders, Ryan Tunnicliffe and Marcus McGuane, both have collected 20 yellow cards each so far!

I swear this forum used to have a thread for foodies, from what you've just eaten/cooked/baked to something bizarre you'd seen/eaten to something you just craved or even nostalgia food.

Basically, I've just rediscovered eggy bread. It must be about 20 years since I last had this and I forgot how amazing it was, and so simple to make that even I can manage it. Some of you will probably know it as "French Toast", but we can't all be as posh as you.

Must be pretty close at the top.

What bits have you cut from those players profiles? Seems odd.
#340090 There must be a way to edit the 2d templates in FM editor, so I can add my own because those templates are very ugly.

I don't think the site condone anyone using a pirated copy of the game.

I like the amount of goals being scored!

Glad you were able to get back on track and it wasn't too disastrous!

Out of interest, is your home ground still the KitKat Crescent?

And here it is:

Better than last year, not keen on the collar/neck but kind of unimportant as I won't be buying one for obvious reasons.

Anyone watched any of these glory friendlies?

So far the only game to be played and finished is Man United's thrashing against Dortmund in the China group.

Currently Juventus are leading Melbourne Victory with a wonder goal from half way in the Australia group.

Today our current manager's old club come to see his new club, I can only hope the combined fans' hatred of their board members sees a below 1k attendance. However, I won't begrudge any Blackburn fans going to the game today as it is a good excuse for a summer weekend at the seaside. Please let there be more away fans than home ones though! New kit to be revealed today as well, with our new sponsors tp. They're some small media/publicity company in Bolton that at the time of the announcement had a mighty 16 followers on Twitter. Easy enough to boycott though. I assume tp stands for tosspots, as anyone getting involved with our board must be.

Don't see him getting another Permiership team if he doesn't end up at Sunderland. A promotion challenging Championship team is probably a more realistic aim. Maybe he'll be down here in Ipswich come Christmas, I don't think Mick McCarthy will last the season unfortunately.

Scottish football didn't fair much better, Hibs went out on penalties to Brondby (maybe not too shameful, but still) and Hearts lost to Maltese side Birkirkara!

Of all the British teams, only the Dons managed to progress. Cliftonville and Gap Connah's Quay both went out too. West Ham appear in the next qualifying round now though to boost British team numbers. Both face Slovenian teams in the 3rd Qualifying round, Aberdeen have NK Maribor and West Ham have NK Domzale.

As you say, Cork City progressed past Swedish club BK Hacken and their reward is a trip to the mighty Genk!

I hope all three progress, but I wouldn't be surprised if none of them did!

I swear these qualifying games get earlier and earlier, or rather I just notice them more as Scottish teams join earlier qualifying rounds.

Speaking of early, already half time in the second leg of the Aberdeen game away at Ventspils. Always had a soft spot for Latvian teams for no real reason other than from when we used to go to pre-season there in the early days of Valerie's interest in the club, along with an admiration of Kaspars Gorkss. Either way, a saved penalty by the Dons and an offside goal for Rooney seem to be by-the-by as the Dons still hold a 3-0 lead from the first leg.

I hope Hibs manage to turn it around later and Hearts manage to progress too. Always like British teams to make it as far as they can!
