Karaoke Bucket List: 10 Songs To Sing In Front of a Crowd In Your Lifetime
Karaoke Bucket List: 10 Songs To Sing In Front of a Crowd In Your Lifetime
For most of us who can't carry a tune, karaoke provides a rare chance to step out of the confines of the shower and be excused for not-so-good singing. After all, the best karaoke sessions aren't defined by the quality of the voices, but how much the faux-musician in question owns the song at that moment – making a solid playlist crucial to the experience. With that, we present a list of classic and recent tunes you must sing at karaoke in your lifetime.
1. "Kiss," Prince, 1986
Apply the lyrics to this song about equal opportunity lovin' to karaoke: you don't need experience to turn it out. Any attempt to keep up with Prince's high-pitched vocals will be hilarious, and you'll get extra points if you match his shrieking starting at the 03:27 mark. Add some pelvic thrusts and gyration throughout. Click here to listen to "Kiss," on Dailymotion.
2. "Bohemian Rhapsody," Queen, 1975
"Bohemian Rhapsody" has become a karaoke staple because it's a vocal rollercoaster. Anybody performing this song has to own the room like Freddie Mercury did. To bring out your inner front man, strut and make eye contact with everyone in the room. Add some leather pants and eye glitter and people won't even care if you can't hit the high notes.
3. "Say My Name," Destiny's Child, 1999
While many Destiny's Child songs convey female empowerment, touching on issues of bootyliciousness and being an independent woman, "Say My Name" addresses the universal issue of infidelity. The satisfaction of barking accusations karaoke-style outweighs the underlying sentiment that the person you're with might be hanging with someone else when you call. It might be a diva anthem, but it applies to guys and girls across the board. Not only has Drake covered it, but he also samples the hook on his latest, "Girls Love Beyoncé." For your cover, you can either go the smooth route like Drake or sassy like Bey. Either way, your friends will be cheering your name.
4. "Livin' on a Prayer," Bon Jovi, 1986
"Livin' on a Prayer" became Bon Jovi's biggest hit because it combined elements of metal with the perfect sing along chorus. This is your opportunity to go into full rocker mode: whip your hair and run into everything in the room. This song is about taking the little bit of fire you have left and giving it all to your dream. When you're up in front of a crowd with a microphone in your hand, you better picture the tough times, get angry and find your inner fight. Sing it like it's your last shot, and you'll make it – we swear.
5. "Bye Bye Bye," 'N Sync, 2000
Perhaps 'N Sync's biggest song, "Bye Bye Bye," is the ultimate kiss-off. If your ex happens to be in the room, consider the song's potency. There's no wrath like a boy band scorned. If you're brave enough to take on Justin Timberlake's adolescent vocals, make sure to top off your performance with the iconic marionette-inspired goodbye dance.
6. "Friends in Low Places," Garth Brooks, 1990
Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places," is one of beloved songs of all time, and hands-down the best way to go country in karaoke. For anyone singing this track, master Brooks' southern twang and make sure you're ready to holler with everything you've got. Even though you might be the one holding the microphone, choosing this song usually kills your chances of doing a solo performance. Rowdy audience members won't be shy when it comes to singing along with the chorus. Bonus points if you have a hat on to tip your audience.
7. "I Will Always Love You," Whitney Houston, 1992
Released for The Bodyguard soundtrack in 1992, "I Will Always Love You" is often regarded as Whitney Houston's signature song. You won't be the first to try put your pipes to the task of this power-ballad, but that shouldn't stop you from putting your own spin on it. No one's expecting your falsetto to match Whitney's to a tee. Just channel your inner powerhouse diva and sing with conviction.
8. "We Found Love," Rihanna, 2011
Taking on "We Found Love," is an acting challenge of sorts, since the song is equally as jubilant as it is heartbreaking. Make sure your expression is forlorn as you sing the airy verses, and when the beat explodes, jump around with your crowd like you've got nothing to lose. Just don't get too carried away to the point of throwing up colorful streamers, that's only cute when Rihanna does it.
9. "Boyfriend," Justin Bieber, 2012
The first single from his album Believe, last year's "Boyfriend," boasted a fresh and mature sound from Justin Bieber. If it was able to help the Biebs transition from a kid to a full-grown crooner, it should make you the coolest person at the party. If you don't possess his smooth falsetto, fret not: evoke "swaggy" by licking your lips, running your fingers through your luscious locks and maintaining a brooding facial expression. Wink at the girls in the front row to add a little kick to your show.
10. "We Are Young," Fun. ft. Janelle Monáe, 2011
Last year, "We Are Young" became a runaway hit with Fun. bringing old school theatricality and pomp back to Top 40. The anthemic chorus lends itself perfectly to karaoke renditions, making this an essential part of any playlist. Feel free to flub some of the words, since the track celebrates mistakes.

Nokia N8 Silver (Unlocked Quadband)12mp,Touchscreen GSM Cell Phone
The N8 takes 12-megapixel pictures and 720p high-definition videos at 25fps. The camera has an aperture of F2.8, focal length of 5.4mm and a Xenon flash. According to Nokia, the N8 is its first 12-megapixel camera-phone and the company claims that the image sensor used is bigger than many of those found in dedicated digicams. So it'd be interesting to see how the shooter performs in low-light conditions.
The capacitive touchscreen measures 3.5 inches diagonally and has a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels. One thing Nokia smartphones have never lacked is their suite of connectivity features. The quad-band GSM N8 also supports quad-band WCDMA, Wi-Fi (b/g/n), Bluetooth stereo and Assisted-GPS. It also comes with free walk and drive navigation as well as Lonely Planet and Michelin guides on Ovi Maps.

The search for planets. Learn how distant worlds are being discovered: Discovering New Worlds
Many explorers of "new worlds" set out seeking knowledge. The Discovery Expedition to Antarctica was organized to carry out scientific research and geographical exploration. Lewis and Clark's expedition to the Pacific Ocean was to learn more about the American West; they returned with careful records, maps and samples of the plants and animals they encountered. Captain James Cook's expedition on the Endeavour to Tahiti was sent both to explore the South Pacific, but also to observe the 1769 transit of Venus across the sun in order to calculate the distance to Venus, and set the scale of the solar system.
Many modern explorers are using telescopes to discover new worlds. These telescopes can search the skies, finding and studying planets that orbit other stars in our galaxy. The NASA mission Kepler has a spacecraft which trails the Earth as it orbits the sun, observing stars and looking for planets that may cross in front of the star (transiting) and blocking some of that star's light. It is sensitive enough to detect Earth-sized planets -- including some that may have life!
This topic investigates planet transits; learn more about how distant worlds are being discovered through the Kepler and other missions! Check out transit activities in the Classrooms and Organizations and Clubs sections, and find a variety of powerpoints, articles, videos, interactives, and more under Educational Resources..

One problem: Detroit isn't a state.
Arguing about red and blue states might apply if the entire state of Michigan is in the same dire financial situation.
Are there many major metropolitan areas that aren't blue?
Attachment 9562
If nothing else, many of the voters in Detroit could claim to have been former farmers who suffered discrimination.
"For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled."
--Hunter S. Thompson
It's not particularly relevant what Franklin thought one way or another. But is it really too much to ask that you quote something he actually said?If he didn't would it be any less true?
Is it really too much to ask that you stop trying to deflect and change the focus of the argument over the trivial matter of whether or not someone may or may not have made a statement widely attributed to them, especially when said speaker created a whole volume of sayings (Poor Richards Almanac) that borrowed sayings liberally from the bible and atheists alike.
Whether he said it or not, the veracity remains.
And what Hunter Thompsons quotes relevancy to this particular debate is im sure nobody, including you, has a clue.
It doesn't have anything to do with it. I just like it. The whole point behind this thread is kind of dumb, anyway. I mean, someone linked to breitbart.com in here somewhere. If that's not a clue that a full measure of stupid has been introduced, nothing is.And what Hunter Thompsons quotes relevancy to this particular debate is im sure nobody, including you, has a clue.
Now youre just being obtuse. PressCoverage had snarky and smarmy down way better than you. Pseudointellectual non-responses fail to impress. If you don't want to participate in the debate, better to remain silent than yip and yap like an overexcited chihuaha adding nothing to the discussion

TILLvisION and the TillProtocolEditor are separate programs for technical reasons. They communicate via COM (Component Object Model)-Interface, formerly known as OLE. If you press Get AOI, the Protocol Editor asks Vision for its active window and the first AOI. If there are many images but none of them active, this request fails.

You cant keep saying that theres nothing in logic that requires ones premises to be actually verifiable. A deductive argument is sound if and only if it is both valid, and all of its premises are actually true. Otherwise, a deductive argument is unsound.

This is not proof through negation, that is just your unproven theory.Originally Posted by Statler
Do you know how dumb that is? Youre asking someone to disprove the existence of God.

Nothing more than assertions without any evidence. There are countless things that can't be refuted, but that doesn't necessarily make them true.

Interpretive Handbook
80979 :
Measles (Rubeola) Antibodies, IgM, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Measles (rubeola) virus is a member of the family paramyxoviridae, which also includes mumps, respiratory syncytial virus, and parainfluenza viruses. Clinical infection with measles virus is characterized by a prodromal phase of high fever, cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, malaise, and Koplik's spots on the buccal mucosa. An erythematous rash then develops behind the ears and over the forehead, spreading to the trunk.
Measles virus is highly contagious; pregnant women, immuno-compromised, and nutritionally deficient individuals are at particularly high risk for serious complications of pneumonia and central nervous system involvement.(1-3)
Since intensive immunization began in the United States more than 2 decades ago, the incidence of measles infection has been reduced from approximately 1/2 million cases annually in the 1960s to fewer than 500 cases in recent years. Atypical measles can occur in patients who received killed measles virus vaccine and subsequently have been infected with the wild type strain of the virus.(4) In addition, many individuals remain susceptible to measles virus because of vaccine failure or nonimmunization. Screening for antibody to measles virus will aid in identifying these nonimmune individuals.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Determining acute-phase infection with rubeola (measles) virus
As an aid in identifying nonimmune individuals
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Positive IgM results, with or without positive IgG results, indicate a recent infection with measles virus.
Positive IgG results coupled with a negative IgM result indicate previous exposure to measles virus and immunity to this viral infection.
Negative IgG and IgM results indicate the absence of prior exposure to rubeola and nonimmunity.
Equivocal results should be followed up with a new serum specimen within 10 to 14 days.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Grossly contaminated, hemolyzed, hyperlipemic, or icteric serum may yield unreliable results. Serum specimens must not be heat-inactivated prior to testing.
A serum specimen drawn during the acute phase of infection when only low titers of IgM are present may yield negative results by this procedure.
Rare heterotypic responses with rubella virus and varicella virus have been reported from measles virus.(5)
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Negative (reported as negative or positive)

International Managerial contracts like they promise in FM07 then have totally ignored it ever since.
Also maybe an option to hear your crowd sing their teams theme song during home matches ? also put a realistic crowd photo on 3d match engine, currently there's nothing
i would like to see more stats on how well teams are performing - something in the form of below
Team A has won x out of x games. Unbeaten in x number of league / cup / european games.
Team A is unbeaten in x out of x home league games and x/x away league games.
Team A has won last x out of x league / cup / european games
or team A has not won in x games and same kind of format as above.
There was a game, many years ago now, something like Football Director or Ultimate Soccer Manager that had a counter like above where it gave about 5 or 6 different stats on performance.
So, you would have an unbeaten in all competitions counter, an unbeaten at home counter and a note of the previous best record. And an unbeaten in the league, cup and european games.
not sure if this has been even mentionned before but as my spurs team we won league cup in my first year. The following season i thought id concentrate on league and played a second string (mainly U18's - like Arsenal do) and when we lost against Wigan i got slated my board and press. Surely the game should regonise the league cup as a chance for the bigger teams to give match experience to youth players and the board and press should understand that we may lose these games.
Suggestion....During the game you can have the assistant giving suggested feedback for teamtalks,well i think you should be able to reset the assis's feedback simply because if your assis is not very good you don't always want to take his advice,so a further dropdown bar should be introduced to "reset" his feedback.
Hope that makes sense.
I'd like to see a game you can play on release without any bugs.
Is that too much to ask for ?
Shame on you.
All football chants in the world~
Ok, I tried to search for this but haven't had any luck using the words I would expect.
When searching for players or coaches, have a set of checkboxes like FML has to set the attributes you want to include, rather than having to go back to the dropdowns for each new attrib you add
Also, as in FML, would love to be able to have user definable views (where you can determine which columns to include)
With the detailed managing path SI has seemingly taken the casual gamer has 0 chance of being a successful manager in FM 09 unless he spends on average of 45 minutes (real time) per game, for my game including transfers,training,contract reviews etc if i add it all up it's probably taking me one hour per game and with some leagues having near 50 games per season (not counting friendlys) do the math, in the neighborhood of 50 hours to finish a season.
i don't know how you could do it but the current opponent instruction template is becoming a bit outdated. a lot of this can be automated.
a winger is right foot only i do believe i want to show onto weaker foot (should be automated)
an amc has a passing attribute of 16 and i am in england league 2 yes i want to close him down. (again automated)
some may not agree but if tm/st has low bravery/high jumping att hard tackling (automated)
also for individual instructions there should be a preference if you are yellow flagged it is optional to switch said player to easy tackling (automated)
this may not sound like much but each time i press the pause screen to go back to my in-game tactics screen be it change tactics opponent subbed player or i get a foul (opponent gets a foul pass to his side rwb (automated)) i usually get the 5-10 second pause to get to the screen then 15 seconds+ in the screen then another 5-10 seconds for changing tactics screeny to go away.
with all that said here's my si christmas patch wish
1) get the outfielders to make more believable strikes when in the box (what i have seen in some games reminds me of pong)
2) whats with these spawned superhuman players when im up a goal at the 80 minute mark? if you wanted the dramatic end game well you've accomplished it now get it back to normal please.
3) please automate what ever all you young bright developers/programmers at SI can. i like realistic management but i feel i need to actually get paid real money for completing a full season.
4) don't take these jabs too serious. love the game and for the most part i think 09 has been a success
For all the leagues with reserves or U20 or U21 without league invitation:
It should be possible to give the assistant manager the order to arrange friendly games for the reserve before the season starts.
Arrange friendly games for the reserve squad - select game day - weekly, every two weeks, monthly
Erm.. for all those moaners out there i think there should be a difficuly setting (Easy - Medium - Hard)
Easy woulld mean you sign players easier a bit more transfer budget, a bit more reputation and attributes & so on
(Medium would be the difficulty of the game now)
Another goalkeeper attribute?
Right now they have a free kick taking and a penalty taking attribute, it would be cool if they got a penalty stopping attribute, in the real game there are some goalies that are just better in stopping a penalty then others. It would also suit the goalkeepers more then the 2 attributes I named, and I think everyone agrees that goalkeepers need some work done. They almost never reach either posts when it comes to a penalty, all saves I've seen are badly kicked penalties aimed in the center or between center and post. I don't say that they need to stop every penalty, a penalty right in the corner of the net is also hard to save IRL.
"Live" injections?
Sometimes a player gets injured on the field, right after you used all your substitutes and you're down to 10 men. It would be cool if you had an option wether or not the player could continue playing, if it's possible ofcourse, you can't really continue playing with a broken leg ofcourse. Something like the option to give him the injection or leave him to the physio you sometimes get when it's a minor injure that will last for like 1 month, also add the same risk that when you give the "live" injection your player will be out for longer than expected. How his condition and further contribution is on the pitch that's something that will be hard to get right.
Just some toughts
I read through as many as I could so if I repeat, my apologizes.
1- Kit selection- Im tired of the same kits for 5 seasons straight. A nice little kit selection screen before submitting the team would be cool. And with that the ability to change kits like every team does to get alittle more revenue from merchandising. Maybe it would be a board decision thing.
2- Less weather- It impacts the game to much and happens all the time. I've seen 40*C with downpour... it just doesnt make sense
3- Bribes- Thats just funny. You could try, possibly get caught or not. We all know it happens too.
4- Chairman mode-
5- More Sponsership money- Or more offers
Just a few things:
I would like to see aplayer put in a first time cross in the game.
Manager interaction, when another manager continually praises one of your players i would like to be able to respond with something suitable. Maybe like "stop publically tapping up my player" or "put in a proper bid or feck off"
what about the old player search feature where you could do 7 out of 8 attributes selected etc. so you don't miss a cracking player because his pace is 14 instead of 15.
Also the old print out of the fixtures where you would get score, attendence and scorers for each match, TBH haven't checked this in recent games but it used to be in the old pre CM4 games
Very minor thing but i would like to be able to ask a player to learn to use his weaker foot.. could work in the same way at the preferred moves.
Might have been mentioned already, dont fancy reading through all 30 odd pages of posts.
A difficulty level.
Easy so you dont have to worry about overcomplicating your tactics.
Normal as it stands now.
Not sure if I've got this right but I believe individual player settings take preference over team settings.
If so, then I'd like the option to override player settings. Example - last 5 minutes of the match I'd like to say "the whole team should employ time wasting tactics" rather than have to set this for every player.
I would like to see streakers put into the game now that we have 3d
Under your profile i would think adding 'media handling' as a new stat would be good, as now the game has even more emphasise on that side of the managment than before and is likely to be improved each year, depending on how good your stat is could very the response/questions you get from the journos ie: if you have a low stat then the journos could be more aggressive in their questioning, whereas if you have a high stat then they will treat you with more respect and realise that you are not to be mucked about
How about releasing a game where player registration was fixed at the start as well as injuries.
apologies if they've already been said but
-the ability to call a press conference on a major event (new BIG signing, leaving club etc)
-double deals (remember when tottenham signed dawson and reid in 04, I want to do that)
next to the new thread button on the main page on all parts of each forum you should put a search button with a header please search before posting
You should be able to fine assistant managers for making a balls-up of the press conference
what about two tactics screens side by side one for when you have got the ball and are attacking and one for when the opposition has the ball and your defending so you can set your player positions in both attack and defense
be able to add players staff or clubs to your managers favourites every couple of months.
Make it so there's a feature on the main menu where you can make teams from separate games play against each other in a one off match
I'd love to be able to pit my teams from separate save files against each other to see who's superior
Pretty simple and probably mentioned before, but in finances have a screen displaying how much each players shirt sales/merchandise is selling, or even just who sells the most shirts. Small but interesting addition.
Also, and I'm not sure how this would work, but in opposition instructions be able to just have the instructions set for a starting player 'carry over' if they are substituted? I know a change in formation or tactical change would bugger this up but there may be a way, like a small screen when he is subbed asking if the instructions should carry over? Just an idea.
And this may sound a little Fifa Manager'ish' but what about being able to make a 'family day' or open a training session to the public in pre-season to boost members or any other time if you are feeling generous. This could improve your public image and maybe affect the way the media interacts with you.
Goalkeeper penalty stopping attribute....Cech 0
Finally, the ability to hold a press conference of your own that could include publicly declaring interest in a player, asking for fan support etc, may be a bit lame without several ideas but just the grounding...

Assistant manager reminding you about friendly games you have still not aranged due to sell on cluases. as sometime i forget who i sold with a friendly arrasngment agreed
when you renew you contract at a club or go for new job,
you should be giving a few questions to answer like in the pre-match interviews to see what and if the chairman will offer you the job or renew your contract
I would like to see the fans give the players a hard time when they want to move to a bigger club and fans to praise you when you reject bids for players especially when the player becomes unhappy
recomened your feeder club improve there training ground, or help finance it somehow
im from south africa and though i still dont have my FM09, i can only add sumthing from FM08.
AND PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A RACIST COMPLAINT, just a thought to be more realsitic!!!
in South Africa, or africa in general, there is a massive difference when it comes to names of white or black people, noe my idea is for the REGEN PLAYERS and THEIR NAMES, you will get in FM08 a regen player who is WHITE, with the name THABO NDLOVU for a random example, the problem with this is that both THABO and NDLOVU are very very common BLACK names, so a white player with that name is almost ridiculas! and not at all realistic, AND PLEASE DONT THINK IM RACIST BY SAYING THIS!
another example would be a BLACK regen player with a name such as FRANCIOUS DU PLESISS, which is an incredibly white name here, I hope SI is getting my point that it seems very unrealistic to mix up names and races. i know they regen players and it randomized, but thats just my view!
PS> here are sum common black and white names and surnames (FORGIVE MY SPELLING PLS) if itl help SI!
Radebe (Leeds Fans might remeber Lucas Radebe)
Du Plessis
Van Der Merwve
De Villers
etc etc
PPS: by the way i mean that the Regen players pic dont match with thier name!
ALos these are by no means the most common names or anything, thay are just an example of how balck and white names differ!

SKIN and MOUSE Cursor size and colour for trouble seeing!
Hi I have trouble seeing the (mouse)cursor whne playing
I have already changed the size and colour of the cursor, in windows but it does not apply to FM2009.
So could anybody please help me out
This post is the same that Andy141086 open in a wrong forum, but this is an important feature for the people that have seeing problem.
Unfortunately, the FM developers not think at people with sight problems and do not create a default skin at high contrast with black beckground and white text color.
I'd like to see SI allow players to select different difficulty levels -- such as easy, normal, hard. Not all managers want to face an AI/tactics situation that requires them to become the equivalent of chess masters in order to succeed.
1. Be able to pick feeder clubs (I need a Belgian one for WP reasons) but got offered Scottish teams which are no use.
2. Be able to change tactics a bit more quickly. One of the centre backs was injured but no-one shouted to someone to fill in and so the striker stood unmarked and then had a clear run through in goal. Also I was 1-0 up. Opposition chnaged to 4-2-4 so I changed the existing players to 5-4-1 but it took 4 mins to kick in during which the opposition scored. So now at 1-1 the computer changes my tactics to 5-4-1 while the computer goes back to 4-4-2. I want to cahnge to try and go for the winner but am playing 5-4-1 ultra defensive. It takes another three minutes to change back and I have about 2 mins left to get the winner. I think Sir Alex might shout from the touchline.
Not sure if this was mentioned, but I can't really go through all 3,500 posts. I suppose that no one from SI does either, but at least they're payed for it .
1. Champions League rule - Group winners always play their first game away in the first knockout round. Always.
2. Friendly matches should be less competitive - I've had situations were opposition tackled really hard and injured my players, when my players got yellow and red cards for arguing with the referee because he allowed a goal to stand etc... Those matches aren't competitive and tackling should always be set to easy automatically and players shouldn't react so much to referee decisions. It's about getting ready for the season or keeping your players match fit, not about the result.
3. Illogical fan days - In my Barcelona game, the board decided that last match in the season should be fan day. Incidentally, I needed a win in that match to win the title, if I lose, Real Madrid would probably win it, so it was about the result, not the game. Very important matches like that shouldn't be picked for fan days.
4. New signings and fan expectations - I sign 3-4 young players a year, aged 16-18 because they have potential and they could be good in several years. But my fans are disappointed because they didn't play enough matches and my board hold it against me. I don't think that fans would be all over Wenger for example because he didn't play straight away a player who is 16 and was bought for 200,000-300,000 euros. It should depend on the price payed and whether they are signed as first team players or youngsters.
5. Players get tired too quickly - Even my 20 stamina players get tired really quickly in some positions... In my experience, AMCs and wingers tend to get tired easily. My 18 stamina winger drops to 65% match fitness often near the end...
& has tried to cover it up by saying you're black because the entire civilised world knows that it is impossible to be black & also a racist...
....or is that racist on my part???
wait a minute?... am i racist or not?

I would like to see a much better 3D graphics, as close as possible to Fifa Manager 09 (at least)
1. A way to create your own set pieces.
2. Better training. I want to set every players training individualy per day. Not bars on his physical training. But day to day...like 9AM start with Warm-up, 9.15AM start tactical training. etc etc
3. Position specific trainers. for example a Strikercoach (Like Bergkamp is for ajax) A central defender Coach (Like de Boer is for Ajax)
4. Dailly reports on training on every player. Just give us a list of all the players who did well. Who failed to impress, whose form is crappy. Which young players should be given a chance to play with the first squad.
5. Tabs to switch certain area's faster
6. Shout instructions from the sideline...like 'Keep the ball', 'Waste Time', 'Look for the sides!'
Thats what i can come up with in 5 mins
Not sure how this would be implemented but it would be good to have scenarios which in turn would raise you managerial status. Of course, after the scenarios have been finished the game will have to end but any points earned would be added to your managerial profile. Scenarios such as; four games to fight off relegation, injury crisis, 5 points behind with 4 to play.
Tick boxes for loading additional players, stats etc
AI matches to test tactics before actually playing games
When searching for staff it would be good to be able to see your coaching ratings (def, bc, shooting etc) instead of having to backtrack through menus, write down what sort of coach you need and then searching. It takes me ages to do my coaches because I'm constantly forgetting and having to baqck track through the menus
Another factor is that RZA is very different, because it is a case of white people going to an african place, rather than african people going to a 'white people place' (yes, i know that USA and Brazil arent really 'white people places', white people killed off the amerindians). It will take a long, long time for the cultures in South Africa to grow closer together so that eventually through marriage and such, there will one day be black girls named Natalie Grobler and white guys named Desmond Mbeke
But it is not for FM to make such things happen. It would be quite controversial and indeed, difficult to program, to start creating things like "black names" and "white names". Perhaps one day FM will give you the option of generating a new random face for your players. For the moment, I make faces for players that have no photos, using the standalone version of FaceGen
Transparent widgets on the tv view screen please.
A kill button (for players who keep scoring own goals)
I'd like to see my assistant manager hawking any players that I've transfer-listed to other clubs. I find having to repeatedly offer transfer-listed players to other clubs tedious and laborious.
Once a player is transfer-listed your assistant manager - or even a scout/director of football associated with you or your club - should assume the responsibility of finding your unwanted player a new club.
It would be impressive if players had agents in the game who are listed in their clients profiles. The agents could also endeavour to find their client a new club.
Perhaps even implementing agents into transfer negotiations would be something to consider. Football agents are, after all, an essential part of football, and particularly the facilitation of the transfer of players between clubs.
Think of Pini Zahvi, the so-called super-agent, negotiating with you over the wage his client wants to join your club. And then, in addition to paying a fee to the club youve bought the player from, youd also have to negotiate a fee with the agent who facilitated the transfer. Yeah, Id like to see the appearance of football agents implemented in FM2010.
I think that if you have had a great player at your club for a number of years and he retires or is sold it would be nice to be able to retire his squad number. Just a little cosmetic thing.
I dont think it is. I know that some already start retired if they are irl but thats it.
a box with FM in it - you load it and it works first time without any patching.
ah now that would be wishful thinking :P

Could possibly be nice to have a feature where you can focus on a certain aspect during a particular week while interacting with your players.
For example on:
- The importance of good crosses in the tactics
- The importance of concentration
- The dangers of pushing up *too* much
- The effects of physical training on performance
etc etc.
You could select from a drop down menu with a whole bunch of these kinds of focuses. Then at the end of the week, the team will have picked up on this which is represented in a bar that can be 100% full or 60% or 20% (any random number) depending on the man management and/or other relevant stats of the coaches/assman. This bar starts slowly decreasing as time goes on so it could be that in 7 weeks time you would have to focus on this again. In the mean time, weekly you can focus on other aspects from the drop-down.
The point of this would be that you can emphasize on something you find particularly important. Be it for an upcoming match, or for your tactics as a whole.
Any thoughts?
i would like the ability to make my own set pieces using a 3d training session, without using sliders.
also as already mentioned 3d training sessions, say shooting, you could place a marker anywhere around the training pitch and thats where they will attempt there shots from.
in a fitness training session you would be able to see who is not training well by them being slow etc.
passing training you could set the distance between players
i could go on and on but i think you get the idea.
Fantastic idea, I've mentioned the need for an improved set piece engine elsewhere, but the idea of 3D training as well would be superb. But I think it should be a thing you could drop in on occasionally by choice, not something that had to be done between every match.
i am medo, Egypt,
i am one of the great lovers of FM , i have been playing FM since 2005 and i adore it.
Egypt have won the African cup of nation the last two times 2006,2008
we have Mido, Mohammed Shawki in Borro, Hossam Ghaly in Tottenham, Mohammed Zidan in Dortumond, Amr Zaki in wigan, Abou trika in Ahly ...
i hope Fm contain the Egyptian league as it's one of the strongest leagues,not only in africa,but also in the middle east..
also AHLY FC, most egyptian famous club,the only club taht reached the world cup champions league..
i hope SI give more attention to Egypt and Egyptian league.
i wouldnt mind the Egyptian league in as id quite fancy a game as Al-Ahly (not sure if i spelt that correct), also other leagues but licensing stops it unfortunatly like the J-Leagueof leagues under the conference north/south
I just got this idea yesterday.Currently,we have a season summary,which in my opinion,is pretty short.Now,I'm a long term gamer,and seeing the current summary will not suffice me,later on in the game.So,I suggest,written Season reviews,coming up either in your news window,Inbox or in the Season summary tab.It would not only contain under achieved teams,over achieved teams but it will be a whole summary of the whole season,which teams were caught in a relegation battle,players were unhappy,a club was beleaguered etc
I would like International Managing to be a lot more developed. I mean I know that the game is focused around club managing but for the majority of managers, being appointed a coach of a national team is a huge honor and normally seen as the pinnacle of your career but in FM it almost seems like an inconvienince!! I would like it if you were appointed coach of say England you had to leave your club job and there becomes a lot more stuff to do in the England set up. Ie you get a contract, your coaches actually mean something. You have interaction with players and club managers who manage players in your national pool, you attend press conferences after you announce your squad to explain your descions (why you called someone in or dropped someone). You wouldnt always have to leave your club job but for big countries I think you would.
I have always thought that International management needs to be improved and I hope one day it is.
Hi all, sorry for jumping in with somerthing else. Everybody has been complaining about the installation and heaps of other problems regarding FM2009. Ok, i must admit, there isnt alot of new major features, maybe just a tweak here and there. My one big problem with Football manager from the first one till the 2009 version is the damn responsiveness of the buttons. I dont know if its just because i am playing from my laptop or what. But sometimes i need to push a button 2 or 3 times before it actually registers. I know that FM2009 is a number crunching game, but surely simply browsing thru the FM2009 windows need not be that irritating time consuming. For me, a quality game such as FM2009 would be much more enjoyable with quick and snappy menu's than the current one's which sometimes makes me want to crush my mouse most of the times.
The ability to request a physio report on a potential signing so you can asses his likley hood of getting a injured, or if he has a recurring injury before you go and spend 15 million on someone to lie on the physio's table for 3 months.
Also more involvment in the physio role in general in the game. What do they actually do?
whitin the 3d match view, i would like more widgets =) so that i can make changes to my tactic without getting in to that oldschool splitview for example.
I decided to start a new unemployed career game with the 9.2.0 patch and it got me thinking. My dilemma is that I want to start as a pro for a change but not a pro who has spent his career in the higher leagues. That is what the job offers I get suggest to me, as the first offer I usually get is Watford in the English Championship, and I'm not really sure all pros would get that choice.
If I start as a semi-pro I'm unlikely to get offers from anywhere above the Blue Square North/South, and not a dead cert to get offers there. I'm usually limited to the Irish, Welsh or foreign leagues.
I just think the past experience scale needs to be expanded to something like:
Ex-senior division pro;
Ex-lower division pro;
ex-senior non-league (pro/semi-pro);
ex-minor football (semi-pro/amateur)
ex-sunday league (amateur).
That gives any manager a fuller range of options and allows people to be more what they want.
There's further ideas in the thread I started, where someone directed me here.
Obviously, I have not read through 36 pages, I have a life, but here is my wish.
If there was ever to be new sounds in games, it would be team anthems, and that they could improve morale pre-match. Also the fans chanting should help morale during matches. Take Liverpool at Anfield in European nights, the fans must be a morale booster for the players.
One small thing I would like to see in FM10 is an away attendance.
For example if the match is Middlesborough V Aston Villa and the attendance is 45,093 it says in bracketts next to the attendance it says (3,457 from Villa)
or something along those lines.
I think it would be a nice little feature as I have often wondered how many fans my team takes away
1) An increase in the amount of animations per frame in the 3d match engine from what appears to be about 10-15 a/f to atleast 40 (whilst i think the 3d is a good step forwards in progression, it really needs to be more fluid)
2) An overhaul of the set piece system (free kicks & throw ins), as they are they are quite generic & cover all the options
there is a big difference between a Direct Freekick and an Indirect Freekick, and where the kick/throwin is taken from within your own half or the opponents half also has relevance
These differences should be reflected in the instructions that available within the tactical setup of the formation

Perhaps add the new quarter back role that seems to be being hyped up by the media at the moment. Even if it is only added to the "set to" bit of the tactics screen.
Also, when the deadline for loans is coming up the game should give you an option to try and re-negotiate short term loans so that they don't end half way between the deadline and transfer window.
Stop the basic errors in the match engine. I've lost a goal in each of the last 3 games through defenders simply ignoring the ball, plus the passing has gone to pot with 9.2.0.
Stopping players freezing mid-match.
Allow crosses to beat the first defender. Some won't, I agree, but they never do.
Strikers cannot score for toffee, even when their reputation is continental.
To be able to sign players who are retiring or who are unemployed on short term contracts.
Stop fouls being ignored by the ref.
It's very frustrating. Some elements of this are excellent, but there are far too many basics that you haven't got right.
- An instant messenger/chat room for the forums which will be open for e.g 1hr a day and will have staff helping people having problems with the game as the threads have slow response to paying customers.
- sideline talk: this is a big step for improved match day experience. Just like in real life as the team goes a goal down the manager should be on the sideline instructing the team and motivating them or even make things even worse depending on the chosen option
- An S.I. created in game modifier that actually comes with the game or is made as a patch by the creators of the game
- Better training options instead of the sliders it should be more in depth
I've just defeated my closest rivals 3-0 with an emphatic performance. I would LOVE to click on to the opposition team and see their manager giving a post-match summing up. "I just don't know what happened out there today... My boys couldn't cope..."
Value added? You betcha!
I'm Leeds United and I've just played a game on FM (my last game in season 5 if your interested) and Bogdon Lobont had an absolute corker of a game! I'd knight him just for that performance if it were me nevermind the other 5 performaces that also earned him a MoM (he tied at the top with a few others including one other Leeds player)
After this match where he saved more than the WW1 armistice (look it up if you don't understand the reference). Personally I wish I could give him a bonus for this performance.
I want the send player to reserve/u18(primavera) until match fit option back!
On the norwegian forum for football manager "http://fmnorge.com/forum/", we also have a thread were we can say what we would like to fix or have on the next football manager game. But since the makers of football manager lives on this site, I have decided to lay out the list we have until now here. So maybe something that we want`s comes on the next game And for the record: It`s something not so good suggestions here, but we have removed the badest like "the players should get into a fight. That coll, an maybe they could die to", and thinks like that. Okay, here is the list:
- Send staffmembers to a class (so they get better in what they do)
- Improve 3D-function (Better quality and graphics)
- Build talentcamps different places on the planet
- Use the managerwages
- Possibility to fix problems team-mates has to eachother
- Decide when the players should warm up (To reduce injuries)
- Accession to team tactics in the match monitor
- Give the players a possibility move in or out from their positions during the match
- The mentality slider (when you set instructions in tactic) could be the average of each player's mentality, so when you move the mentality slider in team tactics you also move each player's mentality.
- Much more intelligent board (!)
- The old system for ratings (7-8-7-8-7)
- Get back the old arrows when you set tactics
- Much better translation
- A little bit easier tactical section
- More comments, both in media and in the game in general
- A bug-free game
- Offside lines in replays
- Better player-IQ
- That FM could be played with computers that aren't the best on the market
- More suggestions to the board, for example to get more coaches
- Talk to the players when you do a substitute, and take them of the field. (When it's not half-time)
- More exciting press conferences
- Training camps for your talents
- More big talents from the small clubs
- Better first-touch
- Less reackless tackles, and for those who come, it should be harder punishments.
- Much better positioning for the goalkeeper. They should be more active in the area, and move more on the goal-line.
- More saves on the penalty-kicks
- The players shouldn`t lay down after each situation as long as they do now
My english isn`t so good, but I hope you understood it
for strikers something that you can tick so they get greddy and dont pass to a team mate and try to always score themselfs
also you should be able to say i think this player deserves to get into the international side for who ever he is from

Here is and updatet list from fmnorge(the Norwegian site for football manager):
- The board should take into consideration what opponent you face in the cups when they rate the results. For example if I am Nothingham Forrest and I meet Manchester United in the Fa-cup, the board get`s mad if i dont win.
- The manager should have more to say when the club is searching for new feeder or parent clubs.
- The manager should be more involved in the trainings
- More advanced manager-player relationship
- The manager should have something to say when a new/bigger stadium are planned
- More functions when it comes to talentwork
- New functions when it comes to 3D: Could se goals only, whitout all the other highlights.
- Build the game up in a more galant and easy way
- Numbers for each notch on the tactical sliders
- Yellow card for extreme time wasting
- More focus on what happens outside the pitch from the media before matches
- On this version the talents don't evolve easy. If you are using a 17 year old talent on the reserve-team it should be more then good enough matching for him.
- The players should be better on returns from the posts and the goalie
- A player that are one on one with the goalkeeper shouldn`t go down to the line to wait for back-up!
- The players shouldn`t clare the ball to corner when he is on the corner of the 18 yard box
- A posibility to get a standard instruction for the opponents. For example allways close down their attackers. Also a posibility to give the same instructions to several players at the same time.
- More history about the players. For example prices the player has won. Like "player of the month" and so on.
- Personal high scores for each player, like fastest goal etc.
- A posibility to send a player/staffmember on course so they can learn the language for the country the play/work in. And when he is on that course, he misses trainings, matches etc.
I'd like to be able to coach attacking patterns on the training field. Ie specify runs and ball movements. Just setting the "shooting" bar to "intense" is pointless now with the magnificent 3d engine in place.
I'd like to see more detailed press conferences and team talks. Two or three part replies would be brilliant, ie at half time when winning
"You've done great but"
"You're playing poorly so"
"I know you can do better than this so"
added to, for example
"you can play better"
"don't let your game drop"
"finish this game off for the supporters"
This would give so many more options, at the moment I find myself choosing the same options over and over again. The same with press conferences, ie to the question, "how are X team doing?"
"They're doing well"
"They're had a poor season"
"I can see them picking up"
mixed with
"but that won't last"
"and they're only going to improve"
"but they still won't win anything"
Also, the ability to release your own press conferences, for example if one of your players is getting a lot of transfer speculation or if you're three points from qualification and want to spur on the team. Similar to Manager Interaction, sort of thing. Obviously you wouldn't be able to use it all the time or it would be abused, but just once or twice a season.
Dunno if this has been said, I'm not going to read 37 pages of comments, but for me a big this is a BULK LOAN OFFER! You can bulk transfer offer 50 players if you want, but to offer on loan you still have to go through each person to do it. Annoying.
Testimonials? Would be a nice little addition in the game, long serving player getting a testimonial with players who played for the club in his time at the club playing for them. Even better if a legendary manager at the club takes control of the game.
Also would be nice if the game could recognize players you are fond of in the game (possibly always sign them when moving clubs) and add a favourred personel section in your profile? Same with if you stay with a team for a long time?
Just a few suggestions.

Wednesday, October 16, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Oct. 16, 2002) -- East Tennessee State head coach Ed DeChellis and his squad held their annual media day Wednesday afternoon from Brooks Gym in Johnson City. The Buccaneer head coaches and players fielded questions about the upcoming season from local television stations and newspapers. "Our team goal is to try to be as good of a team as we can be and try to improve every day," DeChellis told reporters. "There is going to be some ups and downs, but it is a marathon, not a sprint. Hopefully, past experiences have helped us grow." The Buccaneers will open their defense of their Soouthern Conference North Division crown on Nov. 22 at 7:30 p.m. against Guilford from Memorial Center.

After a season opening win, the Dynamo welcome Montreal to town for a playoff rematch against the Impact. Eddie Robinson previews the match, including the debut of David Horst and Tony Cascio and an injury update.
Eric Brunner and Warren Creavalle took to the streets of Houston in the all-new custom Dynamo Mazda 6 for 2014. They delivered season tickets to 2014 Forever Orange Membership Club members.
Everything was awesome this weekend at BBVA Compass Stadium as the Dynamo beat New England 4-0 on Opening Night. Relive the festivities with Dynamo Rewind!
Players took the field today with the Houston Dash logo on their jerseys for the first time ever today as preseason kicked off around the NWSL. Midfielder Brittany Bock, head coach Randy Waldrum and managing director Brian Ching spoke with the media today after the team's morning training session.
Plus, hear from Bock with CSN Houston's Sebastian Salazar:
The Dynamo kicked of the 2014 season with a big 4-0 over the New England Revolution. Go behind-the-scenes of Opening Night with Tunnel Vision, featuring cameos by Brian Cushing, the Houston Dash and camo.
One week in and we've already got ourselves a Goal of the Week contender, this time via Boniek García's 23rd minute strike. This one's as much about the goal as it is the wonderful build-up from Will Bruin and Boniek's perfectly-timed run from the midfield.
CLICK HERE to vote for Boniek as AT&T MLS Goal of the Week!
Winning a game 4-0, like the Dynamo did against the New England Revolution on Saturday night, usually means that there were some standout performances on the field. A couple of those individual performances on the field garnered attention from MLSsoccer.com, and landed Will Bruin and Boniek García on their Team of the Week for Week 1.
Here's what they had to say about Bruin's two goal, one assist outing: "Responds to the naysayers who questioned his finishing with two fantastic strikes in the opening 13 minutes. Will this set the tone for the year? We'll forget the 1-v-1 in the second half on which he should've done better."
García was on the receiving end of Bruin's assist, which he finished with authority after a late midfield run: "Spectacular performance by the Honduran international, who is omnipresent and even more impactful in the center of the field. Makes things happen when the ball is at his feet."
David Horst was also honored as one of seven bench players on the Team of the Week for his part in helping to keep a clean sheet in the first match of the year.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sherryt fun picture I ordered this picture for my grandkids' bedroom and play area and I loved it even more than I thought I would. It's colorful, but not too much so and the kids love it, too! March 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Thejeanster Pop of color What you see is really what you get! And I love the broad brushstrokes. You have to have your nose about a foot away from this painting to see that it is a print and not an original. Really lights up the corner and ties in so many other colors around the room and whatever flower arrangement I have on the coffee table. May 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by pamy29 colorful and fun i have this up in my dining room and i love it! the background is subtle with earth tones and then the trees give a pop of color that bring together my colorful kitchen and more earthy dining room. so cute! December 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Firecracker Fantastic Painting "Lollipop Trees" is a wonderful, unique painting. It is very whimsical, colorful and can practically pass for the original painting instead of a reproduction. I highly recommend this painting to update any room. You won't be disappointed.
