I can't say I appreciated...

... just how bad we've been in the league this year :eh:

Started up a game of Football Manager 2008 today, and got the league season underway. With each game that came, I thought about how we did in real life in the same fixture...

First game of the season was Blackburn (home), which was a defeat. Next up we had Sunderland (away), which was also a defeat. Then we had Newcastle (away), which also ended in defeat. Those 3 were then followed by Everton (home), Arsenal (home) and Aston Villa (away) - all defeats too!

I guess the table really doesn't lie :-(

I can't wait for the season to end.After the disastrous start we had,there was no way we were going to jump up the league!
Its awful remembering those early games.

[ChRiStOpHe]

Surely it's still the present

Right you are, but the Football Manager fixture list isn't the same. The point was that my first 6 games were all defeats in the 'real' matches.

Newcastle 3-0 Tottenham (ermm... )

Tottenham 1-0 Everton (scraped it)

Tottenham 1-0 Arsenal dance

Aston Villa 1-2 Tottenham (again, just edged it)

I think you may have avoided going the way of Mr Jol on that run, especially with the Arse win.

But losing to the barcodes???

No worries, already faxed my CV :up:

In all seriousness, I remember reading some site where this geezer did actually apply for the Spurs (I think it was us) job after a manager was sacked. He sent through his FM CV and everything. He got a humourous, semi-serious reply from the club, which I thought was really nice

Ah, Boro! That was it! Well remembered.

Steve Gibbo wrote an open letter to the guy praising his skils at achieving European success etc. Good laff.
