The Bulldog Key Forward curse strikes again.

Get linked with Patton and then he does his knee. Is that the third time he's done his ACL?
Poor fella.

Second ACL I am pretty sure. Not good at all

Third. Second one on that knee, one on the other.

Runtime error Microsoft Visual C+++ etc etc on my fm14, always on the same spot, wtf?

The song is sad, the music hides the lyrics. It's very much like Dancing In The Dark, sounds happy, but when you listen to the lyrics, it really isn't.

I'm familiar with Mike Masse.

This is kick ass

Yeah ive seen that, ive seen almost all his video's. He's awesome.

The first time he did one he must not of being playing AFL then ?

I love cover bands, they cop a lot of stick, but if they're good, I say go for it.

Probably heard this, blows me away every time.

I too love cover bands. I like the fact they know their limitations. They can change an already good song and make it good. They cant make their own music because they suck at that haha.

If you want Outkast covers, look no further than this freaking awesome cover.

Correct. Twice in the AFL, once prior.

Never really got into Outkast, thought Hey Ya was rubbish when it came out.

This is a superb cover of Ryan Adams.

 

[jod23]

Did you not like The Vines cover?

I dont really like Outkast either. Not my scene.

Not really, The Vines don't do much for me, sorry.

Did you check out the Ryan Adams cover?

 

[jd2010]

I love seeing bands I like cover/mashup songs like Triple J's Like a Version.

Also for those of you who rate these sort of things check out BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.

 

[Cruyff14]

Sting is a ****ing boss.

 

[Latro]

Posting the Vines should be a perma ban.

Yeah it didnt do much for me.

Ive never heard of Jake Clemons Band and ive only heard of Ryan Adams from the cover he did of Wonderwall.

I dont like any of their original stuff. I just really love that cover they did of Miss Jackson.

Not surprising. He is the sax player from Bruce's band.

Heard of Gaslight Anthem?

Just finished the 2024/25 season in my current save of FM14.
Im not bringing up how I went (ok, I won the French league despite being 2nd with 30 minutes left in the season.)

But why I'm making this post is how close the end of the season was in the Championship in England.

1st - Leicester, 82 points, +31
2nd - Fulham, 82 points, +28 (75 GF)
3rd - Sunderland, 82 points, +28 (66 GF)
4th - Swansea, 82, +25
5th - Aston Villa, 82, +16
6th - Bournemouth, 80, +13
7th - Crystal Palace, 79, +19

3 points separating 1st from 7th.

In other news, Hull City will be playing the 2025/26 season in League 1 after going down. They were 4 points clear of the drop last time I had checked till then. Appears in matchday 40 they got in the dropzone and never recovered.

ps. For those wondering who got promoted. Ill get back to you when the final is played between Swansea and Bournemouth.

 

[jod23]

Who thinks we will squeeze into 8th in two weeks time and play finals? Hanging on against Essendon would have been nice but amazingly I can still see us scraping in.

We're in 12th right now and have 4 teams in front of us. All four teams are 4 points better off than us. So we need those 4 team at best to go 1-1 in the final two games and we need to go 2-0.

But it might just happen.

Adelaide have North Melbourne away and St Kilda at home.
Richmond have St Kilda at home and Sydney away.
Collingwood have GWS away and Hawthorn at home.
Gold Coast have Essendon away and West Coast at home.

We have Melbourne at home and Gold Coast away.

So it's a long shot but if Adelaide lose away from home against North which is a real possibility. Then Richmond and Collingwood duly lose to powerhouses Hawthorn and Sydney which is probable. We just have to beat a woeful Melbourne and an Ablettless Gold Coast.



Stranger things have happened.

 

[jod23]

Oh and our % is golden so it should be all good!

 

[jd2010]

Adelaide is probably the only worry in there. But the way Richmond are going they may just knock off the Swans, depends if Sydney has a home final to play for going into the game

Yeah Adelaide is the worry, i they beat North, it's over for us.

Sydney and Hawthorn in the final week is a worry too because they may rest key players for finals giving the other teams a chance, also Richmond are red hot. Sydney are Sydney though, even a red hot Richmond may come undone.

We're a shot though.

If North can do the business against Adelaide then I think we will be a huge shot in the final round to jump everybody and finish 8th.

Won the league with Bordeaux, but the wage and transfer budgets were shit, and due to the season a good chunk of the team wanted out due to low wages.

Knew my rep would be stuffed in 1-2 years with the losses I was going to have, so I fielded phone calls.

Had an interview with Liverpool, Dortmund and Barcelona, was asked to have interviews with Nice and Blackburn, but I refused them. And I went searching for Real Madrid, but I got accepted before I got to them, so never had an interview.

Liverpool wouldn't agree to my request of a 'much larger transfer budget', then Dortmund refused my request of a 'slightly larger transfer budget'. But Ill go with the 43M Barca offered me.

Wouldn't mind going back to France now though. Kinda eying off Monaco. Would love to go in there with the billionaries backing and build a new stadium. But Monaco has overcome PSG as France's #1 side on the back of David Moyes.

ps. Swansea got promoted.

 

[jod23]

In my game Moyes was at United for years, one the PL once I think, then they went alarmingly backwards. He got the sack. Then was hired by Real Madrid. Lol.
