The Joseph Aldo Gang are no more. Joseph himself got terminated by fellow Football Manager writer Throwing Copper. The other five brought in alive. That’s bounties 98-103 🎉 and a new recruit to the GnG posse, alongside @dgear86gaming.bsky.social and myself 🤠🤠🤠

Margarita Hernandez, Henry Shaw, Betsy Rosser and Sofia Juarez take me to 92 completed bounties. Aim is to semi-retire once I get past 100, so I’ve become a Trader for a more chilled lifestyle

I think this is my most rampant night so far on Red Dead Online. High Locklear, Paul Hayes and Alfred Bird are brought in alive. Then I took the meat wagon out for a ride and delivered the entire Van Horn Honors gang. Dead. All six of them. Dead. Completely dead. 💀💀💀💀💀💀

Last one of the evening: Philip Carlier. Nasty piece of work who used some kind of drug on me in the swamps of Lagras. I sobered up and brought him in alive

Live scenes of Dan Gear walking in Thomas Sunford alive. We also collected the dead bounty of Samuel ‘Hatchet’ Butler. It’s been so good to bring these NPCs to justice with the help of my podcasting partner. 10/10. Would do again

Messed up Alvin Sanders so bad we can no longer recognise him. Burnt to a crisp. (Didn’t realise they were transporting oil, and accidents are likely to happen with my shooting)

Couple more lunchtime bounties: (1) Daniel Carroll. Boy, can he roll; sadly to his death as I lasso’ed him underneath a wagon. DOA. (2) Jack David and Jack Anderson. Brought these boys in after they were doing some casual Brokeback mountain up in New Hanover.

Lovely, heard she's called 'The Widow Maker' too! This is Percy Claxton. Keen to remove the surname 'given' to her family, she now simply refers to herself as 'Pearl'. Later dubbed 'Black Pearl' for her unwavering commitment to Bounty Hunting in the final years of the 19th century

10 years ago Ravel Morrison was released by West Ham (www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...). I put a calendar reminder in at the time and set it to 2025 to see what the dreamweaver got up to once he is 32-years-old... Just, wow

1. Football Manager 2024 Was an easy choice tbh. An improved match engine with positional play, animation enhancements and set pieces overhaul. 8/10 edition

A Football Manager classic: the AI sending their GK up for an attacking corner when 1-0 down in a first leg of a two leg Semi Final. Never change 😍

When I do crack it with one of my STs, I'll let you know. Usually AF is just a 'set and forget' for me, they love goals. I think getting Hulk on loan was a poor decision. He looks great, but he can't finish his dinner

Tony 🦗 @fmgrasshopper.coffeehousefm.com · 04/12/2024

Well, I just lost 4-1 away to Toulouse...but that's a massive improvement on the 6-1 last year 😂 Generally, it's going well. Still not getting a tune out of the AF though. Both AMs are my top scorers, with the attacking one asked to Move Into Channels (along with AF by default). I am so vanilla...

It's Summer 2008 in my virtual world... In a similar move to real-life, Yoann Gourcuff leaves AC Milan on a season-long loan (with option to buy for €14m) to a Ligue 1 side. Only this time it's not Bordeaux, but my Monaco side instead 🎉 Retro #FootballManager ⏪

Pep: Chasing Perfection 📺 I just finished this documentary on Pep Guardiola via BBC's iPlayer. A few months old, and rather light touch...it charts his Barca B rise and subsequent manager moves. Personally would have wanted more around tactics e.g. Cruyff, PP etc. but guess they wanted it brief

A promotional graphic for BBC Sport's 'PEP CHASING PERFECTION' documentary. The central focus is on Manchester City manager, taken from a slightly upward angle, showing him wearing a black turtleneck under a dark blazer. His expression is serious and focused as he looks directly at the camera. Available to watch here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001vnm5

Kendrick Lamar released ‘gloria’ yesterday, and it’s quickly become one of my fav ever tracks. It’s perfection. It flows like an anthem for the Football Manager writing community too. What a song ✍️ 🎵

Imagine trying to convince somebody back in 2007 of what these guys would go on to do in football. One wins the Premier League and its Golden Boot award. The other wins multiple league titles across Europe, a World Cup, becomes his nation's all-time top scorer + a Puskás Award 🤯 #FootballManager
