The first game under the new regime went very smoothly. But that was away to Watford in the FA Cup Third Round. Our next game is a trip to Old Trafford to face Man Utd in the Prem.
But don’t be too scared. This isn’t Fergie’s Man Utd. It’s January 2012 and the old man has [...]

Tactical options for the Man Utd game coming tomorrow. In the meantime I thought I’d share this webcomic from Studs Up…

I was more than a little nervous abut this first game played under the new democratic regime.
A trip to Watford in the FA Cup 3rd Round looks easy on paper, but defeat would have been an absolute disaster.

First of all, thanks for all the kind words on the last post. I was more than a little surprised by that to be honest.
Second, welcome to the management team! The new plan is to put all major decisions up for debate here on the blog. We’ll use a combination of questions, options, discussions, polls [...]

I’ve been struggling to find time to keep my Newcastle game going. Hence the lack of recent updates. If this happened in the real world, I’d definitely be fired and replaced. And maybe that’s how it should work on FM Offsde.

2. Capable [...]

That image might be a bit dramatic, but the wheels on my possible title wagon have definitely gone a bit wobbly.
Last time I posted my Newcastle team was sitting pretty at the top of the Prem, with 53% of those who voted believing my team had the necessaries to go for a title.

No recent progress on my Newcastle game (and possible (?) title challenge) but I’ve found myself thinking about Football Manager 2010 a lot lately.
It’s mostly Vitaliy Mokosiy’s and Stephen Darwin’s fault, as they respectively wrote an Football Manager 2010 Features we Expect on TFM and an FM2010 Wishlist over on SoccerLens recently and got me [...]

So the draw for the 2011 Champions League last 16 has been made. There’s good news and bad news. The good news is that I was in the draw. Which I’m claiming as an achievement. The bad news is that we drew Barcelona. Who have a terrifyingly good 24 year old Leo Messi and a [...]

Progress: Top of the league!
We are top of the league, say we are top of the league.
In case you haven’t gathered, my boys are top of the league. If we’re honest, Man City have a game in hand and could overtake us with a win. But I’m not interested in that. [...]
