Some guy.... Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Here's the match that prompted this thought:The Match I seriously thought that I had this one in the bag at half time... Ever since I won my first title Arsenal have risen as my major rival (I won the title as a shock over Man U on the final day...). The 5 most recent matches have been: Arsenal 3-3 Derby (this one) -Premier League Derby 3-1 Arsenal (They were all over us for the entire match) - Community Shield Derby 3-2 Arsenal (My captain won it for us with a goal on the 102') - Champions League Final Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glamdring Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 In FM07 Arsenal were my biggest rivals also. For 6 years Arsenal and Derby went head to head for the title, leaving everyone else to eat their dust and winning 3 a-piece before both began to slump a little with a 4th and 3rd for Derby and I think 3rd then 4th for Arsenal. In the earlier seasons they beat us 6-0 at the Emirates one season and 7-0 the following season, but we beat them a fair few times too, including at The Emirates.

Nomis07 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 After taking over Barcelona my main rivals, unsurprisingly are Real Madrid. What is surprising though is that their manager Laudrup never has a bad word to say about me and "feels the two of us could become friends", whereas Sinisa Mihajlovic the Valencia manager hates me and is always having a go, despite being my Ass Man at Bayern Munich for 5 years I didn't think I was that hard to work with.

Some guy.... Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 I hope people noticed Bendtner's amazing 3 minute hattrick that match... I thought the bloody sky was falling in. He had a very quiet game, then BAM! Out of nothing, from the edge of the box, he just slammed one into the top corner, then he followed that up with a half pitch run with a powerful finish. Then took the ball on another half pitch run, it was saved by Ochoa to my relief, but wait, who's this... BENDTNER WITH A HEADER FROM THE BLOODY CORNER!

Klimowicz Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 portsmouth denied me (arsenal) the league in 07/08 with a 4-2 turnaround in game 36. i lost the league by 2 points. until 2010/11, i couldn't beat then on their turf, but when i did, i clinched the title. although they still brought 3-0 at HT to 3-2 by the 50th minute.

snugglecakes Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Barcelona appear on Chelsea's I think. Was it ever established whether other teams do eventually appear as rivals? As Woking in the EPL I can't really see me playing Aldershot or Stevenage for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
