Poll of the Day > fuck football manager team pep talks

(+) Yeah! (+)

I am playing Chelsea in the English FA Cup as Gainsborough Trinity, a team I have elevated to League 2(fourth on the English football pyramid). I have cheated and given myself a billion dollars and increased my reputation a little so I could sign decent players. My team is currently a fringe premier league side in terms of talent. I did raise their reputation so I could sign players several levels from where I was at but I cannot sign actual superstars as of yet.

I am the underdog vs Chelsea, but somehow I go into the half with a 2-0 lead.

Knowing 2-0 is the shakiest lead in football, I warn my men: "Things can change quickly in soccer. stay focused and don't let your performance levels drop"

Now, I try to keep a team of level headed players with good mental attributes and personalities, so how did they react?

six are confused, one is stressed, one had no reaction and 3 gained confidence.

More than half of the team is stressed or confused. I feel like I did myself in here...we'll see how the second half goes...

Okay, I actually dominated and won 4-1.

The second half was mostly boring until the 70th minute where I scored on a long throw in header, then I got another goal from one of my youngsters who looks good.

Chelsea did score a consolation goal on a perfectly placed free kick, but outside of that I dominated.

Wooo!
