Well, finish as you started, with another utter fail. Changing your X followers from players (turning out to be 1 unknown youth player) and staff, to staff seems to have also backfired. From the example of "Real world people at Saints are interested in what some people on this forum have to say and not others", it seems they just want to be in the FM database, or things around FM. Which is fine, but not making you out to be the Voice of The Fans you were pretending to be, in between making FM and fronting the Newsdesk. Trying to get the mods to close down the thread now you've stropped off in a huff from the others in it, was also a nice finishing touch to showcase your personality. Still, nice to see you've followed at least some advice and put more people on ignore. Hopefully, it will make everyone's time here more enjoyable. Here's the original list of people who you wanted to put you on ignore, before going with our idea, just in case you miss anyone. And you might want to consider this one, just an hour later, although it only confirms what you said about yourself. 🙂

It's important to structure our preseason, to gradually build as much confidence as possible towards next season. Some will say that going up against a Boy's Brigade side is too tough for an opening friendly, but we should just about be stronger, and it will show which players have been traumatised the most. It also gives Will the chance to win a tackle or two, and one of our shots is surely going to go past a small boy in a full sized goal. Eventually.

Everyone likes a bit of frisson in their lives. 🙂

Of course, in doing this you are proving that there is indeed a God. That's a bit inconvenient for you, that all our prayers have been answered. 🙂 And so you, to be pretending this is your own idea, after desperately trying to get the people who challenged your rubbish to put you on ignore. I shall somehow try to survive the loss of your replies. If you are reading this, I'd really like for the threads to no longer be derailed by your nonsense. Try working on that, please.

I needed a billboard to fit them all in...

Very useful in Martin's possession tactic, where he offered outlets from defence and links into our attacks. He developed in lots of areas in Martin's system. Sadly, he was never a defensive midfielder or an attacking one. So, in systems where he has to be one or the other, he's just not near it. If Martin gets a role soon at Leicester, I'd think he'd look to bring Will in, if there's no one in his squad that offers the same things as he showed last season. EDIT: Should make it clear that any compliments I'm giving to players outside of Ramsdale and Fernandes can only apply to last season.

Our players' skin has never been so silky soft? Neither has our defending, right enough.

1) Nope. All answered. Your response confirmed that you made a complete fool of yourself by pretending you were followed by lots of players, only for it to be an unknown youth player, and another youth player who had left the club. 2) You said it was "bullshit" that you were desperately trying to pretend (for the umpteenth time) that you were breaking news, when you had just copied the core information had already been posted. You also lost points, as it was another post that whooshed right over your head. I posted the first two responses from others that also pointed out how desperate it was that you would claim to be breaking news, when you hadn't. Other posts pointing this out to you are available if you read back to when you did it, and got called on it. It's just one of your many flaws, that's now a forum joke. 1) Does playing the game make you more knowledgeable than someone who is a very respected figure in the FM community? Does playing the game for a long time automatically mean that you have more insight into it, or have the skill to extract things from it to benefit others? 2) By "helped make it for the last 18 years" do you really mean that you input figures under strict guidelines as a volunteer researcher, as opposed to y'know, actually being involved in the core teams within SI or freelanced to them, that actually do make it? 3) Does it still really hurt that someone with loads more to offer the FM community, than lying in "one to watch" guides, is working for the club? I don't know how you have the time between making FM26, being the Breaking News Desk and being the Voice of the Fans to spend so much time "digging holes based on being factually incorrect, logically flawed, missing the point entirely or often trying any excuse to defend any of the previous points. Not to mention editing your posts, going off in huffs and setting out to undermine posters." Oh wait, you're actually none of those things, outside your own head. 🙂

Choosing a system that lends itself the the players' stronger attribute gets us in a game, shocker. Repeatedly bringing on substandard substitutes, just because, invariably costs us points, shocker.

Normally, I'd be saying "See you all next season." But the chances are we'll be in the same therapy groups over the summer, working on our scar tissue. 🙂

Yeah, it's not the same shouting it to random groups in the street during the close season. 🙂

Like us, he doesn't want the season to end. 🙂

And a pylon helps carry energy to the rest of the team, which is the opposite of what our subs bring.

We all say it when we make the subs, for the sake of making subs. And this is what happens so often.

Bah!

Although Cornet also got a Panini sticker, in anticipation of... something. 🙂

@trousers is inspired by those Trousers in Action! Commando comics. 🙂

White not getting a card?

Going for the winner - Smallbone is on!

Offside... whew!

We;re been pretty offensive for nearly all of the season. 🙂

Oh, MLG. On the match thread. Tsk Tsk... 🙂

That'll teach him.

When they said he got balls out in training, I was thinking it was something else. 🙂

Suga saves our ... oh, wait it was going wide and he nearly got an assist for their goal. Never mind. 🙂
