FM-Britain What Ifs: Part 1

August 12th, 2008 in General

Football is full of 'What Ifs?' For instance: What if the referee had spotted the 'Hand of God' in 1986?. What if Gazza had been a little faster or taller in the Semi-Final of Euro '96? What if Cantona had never left Leeds for Man Utd? What if Abramovich had never taken over at... Read more

The End of the Road For The Cheat Debate

The End of the Road For The Cheat Debate

May 8th, 2008 in General

Throughout time, one thing has been abundantly clear - "it's not my fault". Caesar wasn't murdered because he made a mistake in judging Brutus' character.

Constant Moaning

January 22nd, 2008 in General

Constant moaning has always been. The last weeks since the release of FM 2008 have changed my views of the FM community strongly.
