Hi everyone, before we give you an update on what’s going on at WeStreamFM we’ve got some great news.
We are delighted to announce that Paul, aka MaddFM, will be joining the WeStreamFM team to head up all things blog related. Having worked with Paul on a number of articles we are excited to start our new adventure together bringing more focus to the written side of Football Manager through our website which in turn will give us more to talk about on the podcast and hopefully help inspire ideas for our streams.
We have always enjoyed giving people a place to share their content and with Paul’s help we’ll make it bigger and better, so bloggers, keep an eye on your inboxes!
Update
It’s been a while since we’ve given you an update of what’s been going on and we thought that as half the nation can’t go to work and the other half can’t go to the pub we’d give you something to read for a few minutes.
Our weekly Football Manager podcast is still going strong and with a mixture of hosts and guest hosts we hope that you’re still enjoying what we give you once a week, even if behind the scenes it’s always a mad dash to get a topic sorted out. The last month saw us break through the 130 episode barrier and with it saw us becoming the longest Football Manager podcast series going, overtaking The Deep Lying Podcast who were, in our opinion, the kings of FM’ing podcasting and we wish Ed & George all the best for inspiring us to put this out there every week.
139 episodes, 3 live records from SI Towers, 2 Christmas Specials and 1 pilot episode that we don’t talk about later and we’re still looking to make the pod better. If you have any suggestions, questions or anything pod related feel free to tweet us @5StarPod or email us info@westreamfm.com
Clan, or Mr Consistent, as we know him is flying with his Bradford City save. His rise to the Premier League with The Bantams reminds me of his time with Pompey and that iconic ‘Kuki’ save. If you like a beer, a good laugh and a streamer that doesn’t take himself too seriously then Clan is the one, you’ll find him streaming FM on a Friday and Monday evening with the odd midweek stream thrown in for good measure.
He’s our Wonderkid and is the prince of our lunchtime streams. We’ve recently seen him managing AZ in The Eredivisie and Perugia in Serie A but he’s arguably most know for having an unhealthy obsession with David Seilke. He’s currently taking Stoke to glory over on Twitch so if you want some FM content while you ‘take a lunch break’ head over and see Sam.
The Unofficial Official Viking of Twitch, Mr Viking Dan, is an afternoon tapas merchant over in his #LockdownLaCoruna save with Deportivo. If you like methodical Football Manager you’ll love Dan’s style of play and his breakdown of tactical styles is not to be missed.
It’s safe to say that since his 48 hour charity stream his absence from Twitch has been noticed, but he hasn’t been absent from Football Manager! Fear not though, he’s back with some fire in his belly and there’s a new Palermo save to look forward to. He’ll be streaming 3 or 4 times a week and updating you on YouTube for good measure.
There’s also the small matter of the EFL Football Manager Cup - Doop, often referred to as ‘our special one’, has been chosen to represent Swindon Town in this prestigious event playing his first match on Tuesday against Birmingham City goalkeeper, Lee Camp.
The Champ’s got a real job now which means we’re seeing him on Twitch more than ever… The reason? His bromance with Herb and their entertaining network antics that see them act more like a married couple than opposing football managers! Keep an eye on the socials for when they go live, it’s normally at 7pm during the week and a bit earlier at the weekends.
Him off of Talking Wolves is still knocking out Football Manager content on the regular and listeners of the podcast will have heard him talking about his Pentagon Challenge where, as I write, he’s currently picked up 3 of the required 5 Champions Leagues required. Will he finish it before FM21, he thinks so, but the best place to keep updated is via his YouTube channel where he drops an update video every Monday. That’s not all though, the lockdown has seen Dave return to streaming where he’s managing Wolves (pretends not to be shocked) using The Mad Scientists 2006/7 database which sees Wolves in the Championship and a little less Portuguese.
He’s Curty’s partner in crime on Twitch and arguably he’s proving himself to be the better half again (he paid me to write that). He’s also producing content for YouTube as well and his recent No Transfer Challenge series with Chelsea sees him in Season 2 so there’s plenty of Herb to catch up on if you haven’t already.
The Master of Disaster and Twitter-bang extraordinaire gave us 2 weeks of the brilliant Attempting To Not Get Sacked series with Norwich and is currently preparing to steer his beloved Portsmouth to victory in the EFL Football Manager Cup… it’ll never happen, but we can only hope.
Last but by all means least, there’s me. I’ve been playing plenty of Football Manager during the lockdown period. My Sunderland save, inspired by the docu-series, Sunderland ‘til I Die, was great fun for a couple of weeks, so much so that I’ve uploaded it to the website for you guys to attempt to keep them in the Premier League.
That’s all for now, but look after yourselves, stay safe and we’ll keep creating the content.
