I did the thing that people do here, apparently. Not sure how it's different than lists, but here goes. It's a work in progress - just like our mod 😉 go.bsky.app/HU3EYmf

Reposting this just because of the sheer brilliance of committing to manage whichever team is bottom at Christmas. Why didn't I think of that?
Happy birthday CM9798! @Emsonite is here to celebrate with a one off save trying to save somebody from relegation. Will it be a success for Wales' silliest man?

Hello everybody, it's Dave here just borrowing Dean's post. Today marks 28 years since the release of CM9798, no doubt a day you all have circled on the calendar. We have of course celebrated this game every year for at least the last 10, who knows how many more I've lost track of when we started this. What I do know though is that I have a great set of writers here who started out as fellow nerds I know on the internet to being good friends who I'm lucky to have stumbled across one day.

CM 97-98 V2 project update: Looking at #bristolcity in their promotion-winning 1997-98 season, and I need some help figuring out the formation: Micky Bell and Greg Goodridge were both left wing-backs able to play in defense and midfield. Bell started in 44 of 46 matches, and Goodridge in 28.

A total of 5 goalkeepers played for Reading FC in the 97-98 season. Is that a record? The club ended up dead last and was relegated.
The 5 keepers:
- Steve Mautone
- Nicky Hammond
- Scott Howie
- Sal Bibbo
- Nick Colgan

Mod status: I'm currently working on Reading, the last 1st Div club on my to-do list. Biggest change in our upcoming CM 97-98 V2 mod is a meticulous overhaul of every single player in that division. All transfers, birthdates, positions and attributes properly inspected - and in most cases adjusted.

Here's how to beat the game, exploiting arrow runs for the goalkeeper(!). Also, buying Viduka for a pittance will increase your odds of success. #cm9798
I've gone back to testing to try and create something that overloads the CPU.. and I think i've got it. Martyn creating an extra man in midfield. Quite brilliant first campaign with Leeds to finish 2nd... but you should see season 2...

Sometimes United struggle to / completely fuck up replacing Schmeichel. This time though... Yeah I think they've covered it.

Turns out I learn way more from building out of passion than from chasing deadlines.
And no — I didn’t “invent” side projects. But I do have a fresh take on how to approach them! 🙂

The image BBC News used for many years when giving us the football results.
Ball in the back of a net, with a traditional stadium in the background.
Simple, but incredibly effective.

Last season we won the UEFA Cup after appearing in that final twice. Can we make this our third European final in a row, only this time in the Champions League final?

Having had the audacity to field 10 Brentford players among the 11 starters, I naturally felt the weight of the growing discontent from both bench and home crowd as we fell behind 2-0 all too swiftly, seemingly outplayed by the fiendish French. But then... 😉💪🐝
