Accidental CM3 name-playing
Mu Beta Started conversation May 21, 2004
After downloading the latest update, which brings CM01/02 up to date with March this year, I started a new game with East Fife (who I still can't get to win the Champions League). After a season of very, very cheap transferring, I noticed that - purely by accident - I had a midfield 4 consisting of Hogg, Cowe, Bull and Ramm.

I've got that March patch now, and I must say I'm enjoying my currenbt game, even though I did get Everton relegated in the first season. Still, I did that with Man U once...

Well, in fairness, David Moyes nearly managed to do that too.
My other game on that March patch is called 'Save The Dons', and is bloody hard!

On the name subject, i just signed Northwich Victoria's Damien Whitehead, and he's playing upfront for the reserves with James McFadden.

McFadden and Whitehead? popular 70s soul duo? sang "ain't No Stopping Us Now"?

I just played an FA Cup game against a Wrexham team partnering Hector Sam with Ryan Semple up front.

That I like. 
I've just finished a very odd season with Scunthorpe. Second season of the game, I've been promoted to Division Two. I finish 5th in the Divsion (losing on penalties to Wycombe in the play-off legs), BUT...
In the FA Cup, I beat Birmingham (PRM), Chelsea (PRM) and Leeds (PRM, just) to reach the Semi-Finals.
In the league cup, I beat Stoke (PRM, somehow), Fulham (PRM) and Man U (in two legs, winning the second leg 5-3 in extra-time) to set up a final with Arsenal. Arsenal field a full-strength team and I beat them 2-1. So next season I'll be playing in the Vans Trophy and the UEFA Cup. Bet there's not many teams have done that.

8/9: InterTWoBob again, lose in UEFA Semis to Newcastle, finish 11th, Roberto Ayala gets sent of five times in the season and Julio Arca plays all 58 games.

I also got appointed US manager in 2002, qualified for 06 world cup, got sacked before the tournament, then Bob Bradley, my replacement, got sacked after the tournament and I got me job back, andf I've had it ever since.
Oh yeah, and My elft-sided players include Giggs, Solari, Arca and Roberto carlos.
I play this game way too much...

Yeah, I always end up with too many left-siders too.

Andy goodman? yes, but he's much more of a goalkeeper's build...

Inspired by yourself, I ran a Player search, and am now the owner of a utility defender by the name of Richard Porter!
Unfortunately, he's crap.

Sounds about right. I only ever played one game at school level,. for my primary school, in the centre of defence (we failed in our attempt to persuade the teacher to let us play the sweeper system).
We lost 6-1.

In theory, given that Bateson is on the list of random surnames (the Torquay chairman's called Mike Bateson), I could crop up at some point.

Oh, on the random name thing: Morecambe and Northwich have both recently relesed Northern Irish midfielder Ryan-Zico Black. My Nigerian team in 2014 just came up against a Zambian side fdeaturing Ryan-Zico Earnshaw.
