Default Does anybody else become hopelessly attached to players IRL because of FM?

Gomez is playing crapp in EURO 2008 and it breaks my heart because he's a machine on FM, 20 gls on 20 games. I also get attached to managers that say nice things about me in the press and get quite angry when they're sacked IRL or in game.

Gianpaolo Pazzini, Park Ji-sung and Rafael van der vaart. All very good players in real life but good for me on FM.

Karim Benzema, ever since he was smashing them in for my Roma team in FM.

As much as I like seeing France getting beat I hope he pops up with a consolation goal

loads of players, lots of young brazilian guys who were awesome for me on 07. Eduardo Ratinho, Luizao, Sidnei etc..

also i remember in my first fm game ever in 07 alan pardew kept saying good tings about me, fair enough to say i had to give him some lovin back.

Yeah, my missus gets fed up when watching Gillette Soccer Saturday or the like when some lower league player scores, and I go "oo I used to manage him", she usually snipes "a dot is he???" at me...
