Only just spotted this FMO, wow is it going to come back! Football Manager Live, its the one step the FM series has never quite broken. I recall suggesting a dumbed down Facebook version, sort of freemium model to make up the numbers in declining gameworlds.
Maybe that would not be worth it though, after all Candy Crush revenue is only $900,000 a day!

Another Footie Season over
Still in dreamland with Swansea, a major honour and top 10 premier league, is it possible this could get any better, I'm just enjoying the moment.
Other random footballing thoughts are that Bale will leave I hope he stays in Premier league!

FM2013
Enjoyed 2013 I think I have too little patience to enjoy the game fully, even with an up to date laptop and using the slimmed down casual version I'm still spending too long waiting for the game to load.
I'm holding out for SI to have another crack at online it is surely the next big thing they have left to do. I know it is likely a case of once bitten twice shy but those days in Shearer were amongst the best I have had playing games online.
I must confess to holding my hand over the delete blog button but just as well keep this site up it is part of gaming history!
Meanwhile Swansea are going to Wembley again!

England and The Euros
Even though I'm welsh I still support England and really hope they have a good run in the finals. One thing that does annoy is the obscene expectations of the England fans. The lose 4-1 to Germany and is it the end of the world, they were 2-0 down and came back to 2-2 disallowed goal they throw everything forward and get caught on the break.
That is football it is not like England are Spain they just do not have the players they are a decent team that is comparable with most of the bigger Euro countries they should expect to get to the finals but anything further than that is a bonus.
So supporters of England support England eh!

Swansea v Arsenal
Finally managed to get tickets for a Swansea Home game whoop. Big game as well Arsenal still a major UK club should be a nice football match as both teams play decent football very much looking forward to it.
Still doing my old domain thing similar sort of theme as I did before Fancy Dress Swansea is one of the latest which is at least a little more interesting then furniture.

Homebase Deals
The Sale Season is about to start and it is likely that consumers will enjoy something of a Homebase Deals Sales bonanza given the state of the UK economy.
Retailers that have not had strong sales in the run up to Christmas traditionally look to offload stock in the January Sales. Homebase Dealss shops will quite probably prove to be no exception. It is normally Boxing day that sales start and will run until the end of Janaury or at least until Homebase Deals clearance stock is sold.
With the rising popularity of voucher codes then when looking to buy a Homebase Deals it is well worth looking around for a Homebase Voucher Codes which will allow you save even more!
Our advice is the same as ever research online then armed with intelligence on prices and product either ring up or even better visit a Homebase Deals shop to get yourself a deal. We are not advocating a dutch auction when buying Homebase Dealss but balance your negotiations to reflect a fair price and where you will get a decent service and good quality product.

Still about
Mostly blogging about furniture on sites like Furniture Stockport and so on. Other than that Swansea lost 4 - 2 away to Blackburn, going to have to do much better if we are going to steer clear of the relegation zone!

The Middle Years
Contuing commentary on the SFA....
After Georges departure from the scene a new force was emerging but it was immediate as Aidan's Balloon took the title in Season 7.
Although Aidan's only major title he was one of the rocks of Shearer.
Nick Hopkinsons's Amogen glory years started in Season 6 as they finished to runner's up to Balloon. Prior to this Amogen had not really made headway but the fairytale rags to riches story was completed in Season 7 as they took the title for the first time .
Amogen went on to be serious contenders at the top level but the glory years came to abrupt end in 9, the last time they lifted a major trophy.
This story is almost mirrored by the Mighty Boosh. After starting late in the GW and powered by an amazing MC in Tarrallo (who I tired to sign a lot) they were rampant at youth level for a number of seasons. Sadly though after two dominant years in the SFA seasons 10 & 11 they faded away a little.

Shearer The Early Years
Shearer began life back in late 2008 and my first adventure was trying to get into the Premiership. A chase for the SFA Qual 2 was on but John Gardiner's Macduff took the title.
John was a popular character in the SFA and spent his first seasons there before going off on tour round the FA's.
The first ever full blown title to be awarded was won and was awarded to none other than Stewart Malcolm's Unathletic Madrid.
I think Stewart went on a youth adventure after that but was fitting that they won the last SFA Premier League (later known as the Primera Division) before it was disbanded in in Season 13.
The competition sported some big names in it's day as you can see from the records page.
Real Beziers won the second title. From the start of Shearer a force was building in the SFA and it was unleashed to full effect in Season 4, it was green and it went by the name of Panathinaikos Repdien.
A trio of Premier League titles followed prior to Geogre's team ducking out.
In the meantime at UFFA level the SFA managers weren't making much headway as Paul Wallace's Hartlepool United were proving quite the force at that level. Although only two wins to show in that competition a string of final appearances hasn't been matched by any team.

Briefly Back for the Wake
As Shearer says it's farewell's I've returned to get in place for the new GW's. So thought I'd do a quick snapshot tour of Shearer with a brief history screen-shots etc.
It'll be done from my point of view and kind of semi focused on the SFA or the NFA as it eventually became known.
Back Soon.

SFA end of season youth update part 2
U18s
The U18s went down to the wire as well with Mighty Boosh FC and Inter Retirement competing till the very last match but again the Boosh were just too strong and added yet another youth title to their cabinet, easy to do when you don't have a senior team.
U18 final league positions
1. Mighty Boosh FC 63
2. Inter Retirement 62
3. Unathletic Madrid 56
U18 player of the season
1. Ronald Fernandez - Unathletic Madrid 7.27
2. Peter Daly - Inter Retirement 7.22
3. Mauricio Casas - Wrexham Tigers 7.18
U18 top scorers
1. Johan Nilsson - Inter Retirement 14
1. Lucas Tavares - Wrexham Tigers 14
3. Julius Eze - Unathletic Madrid 13
The U18 cup final saw a dominant Inter Retirement take on surprise finalists North Nibbley Nobblers and Inter quickly took the lead in 15 minutes further cementing it in 56 minutes with a second. It was a nervy end and the nobblers were able to pull one back in the 81st minute but inter held on to take another youth title, congrats nick.
U17s
The U17s proved to be the most interesting league for a few people as the lead changed hands between 4 different clubs towards the end of the season and there were a few surprise results as the top 3 teams were all beaten by inactive ai team in the title run in causing a bit of teeth gnashing in consternation. Eventually the title was decided as Racing Tofflicence won on the last day of the season.
U17 final league positions
1. Racing Tofflicence 57
2. Inter Retirement 55

1. Aleksander Ismaili - Racing tofflicence 18
2. Johan Nilsson - Inter Retirement 14
3. Javier Medina - Unathletic Madrid 12
The U17 cup final involved yes you guess it Inter Retirement and relative newcomers Mighty Boosh FC. U17 games can throw up some surprising results but not this time as Inter ran out easy 3-0 winners but the big question on everybodies lips was would they have enough room for another youth trophy in the cabinet? Congrats again Nick.
Just a final mention of the youth world cups. In the UFFA youth gold cup we managed to get two teams to the knockout stages Jakswans and Unathletic Madrid but unfortunately both were knocked out in the first knockout stage. In the world youth cup Unathletic Madrid managed to get into the semis but there they faced the current youth world No.1 FC Bozzy, they managed to hold them for 90 minutes but Bozzy were too strong and went on to win 2-0 in extra time, they then went on to win the trophy so no shame there.

SFA Youth end of season update part 1
U21s
Well the anticipated close finish in the U21s did not materialise as the pre tournament favourites walked away with the title and they look unstoppable for next season.
U21 final league standings
1. Mighty Boosh FC 115 pts
2. Inter Retirement 103 pts
3. Jakswans 102 pts

U21 top scorers
1. Thiago Ferreira Marinho - Real Darlington 42
2. Lucas Amaral - Mighty Boosh FC 30
3. Bjorn Siguroarson - Fremantle United 30
The cup final was contested by the Mighty Boosh FC and Real Darlington and the Mighty Boosh were looking comfortable at 2-0 up with 7 minutes to go but up popped Fabiano Soares with 2 goals one in the 91st minute to take the game to extra time. Extra time was played with no more goals and the game went to penalties. Unfotunately for the mighty boosh they missed 4 of their penalties and real darlington were able to lift the cup by scoring 2 of theirs, well done A.L.
U20s
The U20s was just as much a one horse race as the U21s with the Mighty Boosh walking away with this title as well.
U20 Final league standings

2. Inter Retirement 48
3. Jakswans 45

Surprisingly none of the top three league sides managed to make the cup final here it was between Racing Tofflicence and Worst Spam Disunited in a heavily one sided affair Racing cruised to an easy 2-0 win to capture their second youth trophy of the season and Paul was suitably chuffed.
U19s
The U19s was a much closer afair and actually went all the way to the last match but the Mighty Boosh were just to strong for Inter Retirement in the end winning by a narrow 2 pts.
U19 league final standings

This will possibly be my last official mail to the SFA Members in Shearer
I will be keeping my Inter Retirement side in here but from later this week/early next i will be Joining Toms as part of its Mod Team.I will continue to play in here but on a somewhat casual basis. So no asking for any of my players as i am keeping them all
Thanks for all your efforts in making my experience in here very enjoyable over the last few months, I hope you have enjoyed it as much as i have.I have made plenty of friends whilst in here & will be sorry to miss out on some of the banter that we exchange.My last thing i need us to do is WIN a major uffa competition, I am looking at George, Jak & Robert you know what we expect
I do leave you in very capable hands in Andy & Rob & with the rest of the F.A.'s support these to can get even better,So i do hope you do all get behind them & continue the success that i feel the SFA is
Also last week Stewart started contributing to the SFA blog (link is on the FA profile page) so if any of you have match reports,interesting stories or are just prepared to help him out i think all
would be accepted
Thanks you have been great Nick

SFA Midseason youth update
For many seasons the youth in the SFA has been dominated by two teams Inter Retirement and Jakswans but has their dominance come to an end....
U21s
Starting with the U21s which was a 3 horse race last season and eventually won by Jakswans we can see two teams starting to open a lead in points Unathletic Madrid and Racing Tofflicence but this is only due to the fact they have played more games. According to the lastest points predictions both of these teams will be overhauled by Inter Retirement, Amogen Athletic, Jakswans, Real Darlington and surprise package Mighty Boosh in what promises to be the most exciting finish to the U21s ever. Whatever happens there will be some very interesting matches to come over the next week.
U20s
New for this season we have the U20s which at the moment is dominated by the Mighty Boosh who have won all 7 of their games so far. Inter Retirement look to be on form to challenge the Mighty Boosh whilst Jakswans are not far off and in with an outside chance.
U19s
Currently Racing Tofflicence are leading the U19s but they are likely to be pushed all the way by Inter Retirement, Atletico Sheppey and Mighty Boosh FC. Again this looks like it could go all the way and any 1 from the 4 mentioned could take the title, there are even another 2 teams with an outside chance of competing.
U18s
The Mighty Boosh look to be running away with the U18s this season and it looks like only 1 other team may be able to stop them the amusingly named Fat Kids Always Win at Seasaw.
U17s
This looks like a possible 3 horse race between current leaders Unathletic Madrid, Inter Retirement and Macduff FC with possible outside challenges from Mighty Boosh and Wrexham Tigers.

Last time I checked the SFA had 3 teams in the world top 10 youth sides and 5 in the top 25 so the youth side of things in the SFA is thriving, why not join in if you haven't already?
Finally an update on how the youth teams did in the UFFA gold cup this season. Inter Retirement and Jakswans were drawn in the same group this season and whilst Jak managed to qualify in 2nd place Nick wasn't so lucky and wasn't able to progress to the next round. Jakswans were then drawn against the current world no 1 youth team FC Bozzy in the next round and while they battled bravely went down in the end 2-1 away from home, an admirable performance. The 3rd team Unathletic Madrid were able to qualify top of their group and were drawn at home to Real Upminster in the next round and were cruely defeated 2-1 after the game was force started whilst away from the keyboard and the team picked for the match were all out of position red dots.
