I have been meaning to post a blog entry for a few days now but something happen to me. That something was called Football manager 2008. 

My buddy costas (check out his blog over at www.lostingames.net ) has been telling me about how addictive and crazy the football management series has been for him and his friends for a couple of years now. I have been steering clear of this game for a couple of reasons. 

Firstly I am a huge footie nut and I know a game like this could potentially take over my life. The second reason is not such as scary and a lot more fundamental ...... I dont own a computer. Well I didnt until a few weeks ago when i picked up a macbook. 

Seeing as one of the obstacles had been eradicated that left me to battle with my “rock solid” will power. the thing is I have the same control over my will power as a cold turkey crackhead with a mountain of smack placed before him so I went down to my local game and bought myself a copy of FM 2008. 

Just to let you know the last time I played a football management game it was on my psone! So naturally I was very overwhelmed by all the options that the game gives you. It took me two hours of going through all the menus and sub menus just to understand just how much tinkering was available at my fingertips. 

Naturally I picked to manage liverpool. I love the way the game shows you the match unfold, who would have thought staring at 23 circles would be such fun, and the options given to you to make tactical changes on the fly. 

This game is insane!
