If my management experience is anything to go by, we can rocket up the table by repeatedly loading the game again until we get the desired result.

So once King and Gunnarsson are back in the team we'll be good to go!

Leon McKenzie's one of this generation's more underappreciated sages. Let's hear his latest musings: Really makes you contemplate existence.

Definitely, but the concerns about inexperience can't really go away that quickly, and in the face of a slump it's natural they'd come to the fore. Of course, there isn't a manager alive who hasn't been new at some point, but any doubt at the moment is justifiable, even if time will prove it wrong.

There were people concerned about this at the time, understandably. We've had fitness coaches in charge before and here was a chief scout being given the reins. I'd be surprised if anyone wasn't sceptical.

Murphy's got some Ireland caps I think. Most of our remaining players are now English who don't really see international representation from the Football League outside of the bewildering Dave Nugent call-up (100% goals to games ratio at international level, and yet people wonder how Rooney can...

There aren't many people in the Thorn out camp yet, are there? I'm more wondering how long he can go on in the same form rather than lighting the pitchforks myself.

Although in fairness, I'd take not finishing in the top six of the top two divisions in that time over a top six finish in the third or fourth divisions all day long.

I don't see where this theory comes from. Andy Thorn is a converted scout with a few months' experience, it seems odd to say that he's doing as well as any other experienced coach could.

I like Thorn and he's fighting on harsh terms, but managers can't be completely blameless when leads are lost and points dropped.

I can only think of one more pun but I'm keeping it to myself. No Peking.

I wanted to move into the world of puns but I was told it was a bad Korea choice.

Bit of a cheat to have three guys as Hong Kong's second most wealthy person isn't it? Unless they're midgets and all three make one real person, in which case I'd like to apologise to the Kwoks and their dad Bert.

...encouraging OyJimmy threads. There's no way back for them in my eyes now.

You're just knocking out the fresh input here Jimmy, top class.

I nutmegged him one time playing on a school pitch around '96. The last good thing I ever did.

That last line just sounds dirty.

Just remembered that MW2 was £50, that was ridiculous. At least the price is a more sensible £40ish now. Not bothering with it this time personally though, the fantastically movie-style campaign mode sounds fun but that's only about 10% of the value of the entire game as it's more aimed at...

Someone who's actually managed a professional football team for more than a half-hour would be my first criteria.
