Not directly relating to Mariners, but is football chat......

New book out today that will interest anyone, like me, who lost many an evening searching for glory on championship/football manager:

Looks a decent nostalgia trip

I must admit I've spent a large chunk of my life playing these games. I started with Champ Manager 00/01, having originally played Premier Manager 97, 98 and 99 on my PS1, but found myself mainly stuck with Football Manager 2005, I think I kept going back to that game until 2010. Addictive, but once you get into it you realise your losing so many days of your life.

Unfortunatley I am an addict as well. Infact, I'm off to play now.

I found CM/01/02 the best and i bought the update patch last season off ebay, it does become very addictive (you say to yourself - i'll just have half an hour - but 6 hours later my wife says you only said you were going on that thing for half an hour - i'm off to bed!)

I never really got into them, felt too time consuming for not a lot of moral 'reward'.
