Re: Official Gold Championships Discussions Thread I had the sudden urge to come back to SM after 2 years away, came here with every intention to get my gold membership back etc. Totally knocked me back to see we're on GC363 and they're opening every 2/3 days. Looking through them there's so many teams going free now that would have been snapped up back in the day. Obviously it's not sustainable to open them at this rate, they'll just become how standard GWs are because there's only so many GMs to take these teams. Disappointing. I might still lurk and see that the community's looking like, not hopeful though.

Re: English Championship 5579 - Discussion Thread My life's been pretty mad in the past couple of months and I'd all but forgotten about SM, and I'm finding it very difficult to get back interested now that it's calmed down. I'll be freeing my West Ham up for another manager to take over as even if I do return to the game, I doubt I'll put the time in to do this league justice. It's been good fun, thanks to you all and good luck to whoever takes the Hammers over. Also, just thought I'd share this. Perhaps it was fate that I should leave now.

Re: English Championship 5579 - Discussion Thread West Ham pull off a nice 4-1 win against Bolton. That's four points safe from fifth now with six games to go so am a lot more confident of securing a SMFA Cup place this time round. Obviously that's the main thing, although finishing runner-up would also be pretty nice.

Re: GC150 - The Forum Invasion / Choose the League! The mighty Mansfield rise to third in the fifth division table after a 4-3 win over York. I'm pretty happy with the squad I've got now, even if it is mostly made up of Slovenian forwards.

Re: Available Teams, No Job Offers! (GC Teams Only!) Just rejected Aston Villa, GC75. No Bent but still has Milner, as well as a few other decent additions.

Re: Available Teams, No Job Offers! (GC Teams Only!) Rejected Aston Villa, GC90. Bent is the only player of note missing from the current squad, with some nice additions like Gomis and Gary Cahill. 36mill and decent youth.

Re: Official Gold Championships Discussions Thread GC72: Werder Bremen sign Alexandre Pato from Fiorentina for Mata and Walcott, with Toivonen following the pair out the club for CV. Very high price to pay, but still happy with it. Van Der Wiel also joins for Cahill and Buonanotte.

Re: English Championship 5579 - Discussion Thread A 4-1 win against Sunderland takes West Ham to second in the Premier League, ahead of Rob's Preston on GD. It's still early in the season but I can't see anyone catching Arsenal, so the target is staying in the top four. Would be very happy with that after narrowly missing out on it last year.

Re: Available Teams, No Job Offers! (GC Teams Only!) No problem, good luck with them. Rejected Roma, GC 72. It's a very good side, I'd take it but my Werder Bremen would never forgive me.

Re: English Championship 5579 - Discussion Thread West Ham swap places with Man City after beating them 3-2, now at the dizzy highs of third place. This gameworld is growing on me now that I seem to have lost the ability to win a game in every other.

Re: English Championship 5579 - Discussion Thread Asamoah joins West Ham from Udinese for Ait-Fana and Bas Dost, with Mounier on his way from Nice to replace the first of the pair leaving. West Ham can spare Ulreich if you haven't had any better offers.

Re: Available Teams, No Job Offers! (GC Teams Only!) Rejected Tottenham, GC139. Nice side.

Re: Official Gold Championships Discussions Thread Got a shot at completing my GC Honours collection after Werder Bremen squeeze past Sevilla to reach the SMFA Cup final against Tottenham in GC72. I've still yet to win a domestic playoff too but I'm hoping I can be excused of that one. That's a great side, I doubt you'd regret taking them on.

Re: Available Teams, No Job Offers! (GC Teams Only!) Lille in GC39. Missing Hazard and Gervinho but still have Rami and Debuchy, plus Jesus Navas and Thiago Motta.

Re: English Championship 5579 - Discussion Thread West Ham beat Wigan in an emphatic 4-0 win. That should hopefully kick-start the season which has been quite poor for us so far, although there is a tough run of games coming up. Open to offers on De Rossi and Maxwell.
