XFACTOR WEEK..AND WE SAY FAREWELL TO A LEGEND!

In Blissett this week its XFACTOR WEEK! with competitions, quizzes and our very own Blissett Kareoke Spectacluar with our very own king of the mic Gary Party ORG Harrison!!

We also say farewell to a Blissett Legend...no less then the EX mod..DEANO PHILPIN!

we have written a quick song in memory of this week of fun! to the tune of Dexy`s Midnight Runners song..oh gino!

they dont quite all fit but not far off

DEANO! DEANO! DEANO!DEANO!DEANO...

Back in 'FML in a sweaty Welsh club
Oh, DEANO
Before DEANO`s Machine and The Pembrokshire Club
Oh-oh-oh DEANO-o
On a night when Football didn't suit my boots
After a week of flunkin' and bunkin' Work
The lowest head in the crowd that night
Just practicin' steps and keepin' outta the fights in the lobby!

Academic inspiration, you gave me youth players
But you were Yilmaz`s lover
The Manager that won
But now just look at me
I'm looking down at you
No, Im not bein flash
Its what Im built to do!
OH YILMAZ!

That man took the stage, his sheep was swingin' high
Oh DEANO
This man was our mod, my FML, my high
Oh-oh-oh DEANO
The crowd they all hailed you, and chanted your name
But they never knew like we knew
USand you were the same
And now you're all over, your song is so tame, brrrrr
You modded me, you braded me, I'll remember your name

Academic inspiration, you gave me none
You were Philpin the manager
The Manager that won
But now just look at me
I'm looking up at you
No, Im not bein flash
Its down the youth ranks i go!

Oh DEANO, Woh-oh-oh DEANO
Oh DEANO, Woh-oh-oh DEANO

come back for more during the week!

Classic Quotes from the World of FML

Ive not done a blog on the daggers for a while..so thought id give some time to letting you into the world of our support in the game and out of it..some of it is hilarious reading...

is calling someone a `mug` being a troll? apparently so!

anyway to some quoting..

"Moderators are here to ensure that the Gameworld runs smoothly and to ensure that everyone abides by the rules that make the game enjoyable for all."

enjoyable? gotta say some of the moderators are ok..good blokes..some are just on a big power trip..its not clever..its a game.

"it's really not great going into other Gameworlds, or to RT for that matter, to see how they run."
No? well maybe you should all visit some other worlds to see how there run properly

"We're not looking to apportion any blame on anyone for anything, and we're not trying to personally attack you either. There are just a few issues that I hope we can iron out."
seriosuly..who types this nonsense!

"If you have any questions for me, or anything that you would like to comment on then please do not hesitate to mail me, or another Moderator".

or maybe just ask a mod in another gameworld? oh not thats not allowed..sorry.

straight from the gw tonight...a classic quote from one of our most angry of moderators... says: (21:51:02)<:colour#0>
<:colour#4281545523>can you wank left handed<:default#>??


nice...a great example to set to the rest of the world..cheers.

"I'm sorry but I've removed your chatrights. It's nothing you've done or anything its more of a reshuffle purpose."

no we think your a tosser..now fuck off..cheers.(this wasnt me by the way)

finally another classic quote from an ingame moderator..baring in mind this was in a public chat area... says: (21:51:44)<:colour#0>
<:colour#4281545523>kev<:default#>
<:colour#4278522072> says: (21:51:52)<:colour#0>
<:colour#4281545523>fuck off<:default#>

what a guy!

now we move onto the lovely support team of football manager live..id love to meet there script writer...its bordering on stand-up!

"Moderators do not have to be the life and soul of the party within a gameworld to make it fun"

"I'm sure if you provide enough notice the Mod team will be able to get things organised for you."


"he cannot start offering out cash just because you tell him so, can he? ;)"


might want to get your facts right there!

I hope that this provides some fun and excitement for Blissett, but please have faith in the Moderators to do the right thing

so really..just keep the faith..40 managers on if your lucky and a `team of people to ensure you have a great experience in the game which you pay for` nice one.


A new edition the the classic quotes...This wasnt sent to me..but another victim of the Moderator Script Service..

Like I said earlier, your efforts to undermine moderators is not appreciated by anyone but we would sincerely like to offer you the chance to continue to contribute to the Gameworld. But it has to work two ways me old mate, you need to think before saying things in public that could undermine others appointed within the game by Sega/SI, and if you have an issue with something then we should be able to dicuss it properly in a Personal Message. If a decision is made that you don't like then thats unfortunate, but everything will not always be the way that we want it either.

for crying out loud..its a bloody game...this is getting worse..
KEEP THE FAITH!

The Final Whistle Special Edition!




The Dagger Blog..The Final Whistle...

In tonight’s Action packed special edition we have our usual columns from the world of FML and the REAL world..that’s right you heard it here first FML is not real it’s a game!

Tonight’s contents include:
The Dagger Report- The news from the camp!

The Diccon Brown Column- the Guru of Training returns with a World Tour Special!

The Toni Report- Swiss Toni is back with his rule on the world!

On that Bomb shell- A new bit with thought provoking comment...ish.

First tonight we head over to the Ted Bovis Training camp deep in the heart of the East end...of Essex!

The Dagger Report

With Pre-season now fully behind us the lads were eager to get stuck into the SEFA youth leagues..The seniors were of no interest really except to give the RAVENS the run around for a few games then get tonked by some nasty older boys in some other games. Monday! The big kick off had arrived..it was rather like watching re-runs of JFK being shot in History lessons at school a million times..You just knew what would happen every time..yes he got shot..SO Tuesday came and went..oh and so did Wednesday and then i think it was Thursday after that then it was a bit of a blur and by the lap of gods it was FRIDAY!! Wooo! The weekend of the 1st week of a new season....We had a riot on our hands and the lads in the campsite were restless..they had beaten each other at FIFA 09 so many times they had blisters on their hands from using the controls to much or as i suspect it was probably from tonking one off too much whilst watching channel 424 on virgin tv cos nasty uncle Michael had put parental control on the other last night entertainment channels..there not for kids apparently. But the SEFA youth leagues were started HOOORRAAHHHH! We got off to a great start..unbeaten in the u17`s until that nasty grizzly Anglo-American team put our unbeaten run to an end..then a brutal tonking at the hands of those pesky ravens brought the good start to the u17`s Sefa league to an end...oh we did manage a credible draw against those hearts lads..The u21`s and 19`s have started well and with a few new recruits on the horizon...Im very happy with the start we have made to season 2 of youth camp!! Much Love...TED.

The Diccon Brown Column..Training Guru!

Being as it holiday time, this week's seen my players on a world tour.

First stop was Spain where players were left in the centre of Madrid wearing signed Ronaldo shirts. Those that were left have proven agility and will never be phased by anything again

Next was Africa for speed training with cheetahs
USA included entry into the Ultimate Fighting Championship where da Costa my red and yellow card expert excelled. He has since dyed his hair red and yellow to celebrate.
France saw players perfecting their Gallic shrug to help in protesting their innocence.

After Skeleton Bobsled in Austria none of my players are worried by diving headers anymore.
And after a final stop in Amsterdam now has my wingers flying.

The Rags!

Being as its the summer the top five in this edition are from that game England are really good at..yes you got it..Cricket!!

...Signs the Aussie attack isn’t what it used to be

5. Overhear Mitchell Johnson Bitch. “I’m not wearing that cap with these Trousers.

4. “intense training” involved painting toenail in front of Desperate housewives.

3. “ He our new Paul McGrath.” “No don’t you men Glenn McGrath? “NOPE” “Then may god have mercy on us all.

2.”...And in comes Hilfenhaus now, mincing in from the Cathedral Road end

1. “oh, you silly sausage” does not rank among the greatest sledges of all time

The Ashes got under way in Wales, and some Australians were not happy. Ricky pointing said “If he wanted impenetrable accent , unnecessarily stupid town name, sheep and misplaced national pride. We`d have stayed at home”

The Series promises to be close. And Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has warned that “we can`t take the Australians’ lightly and that “James Anderson” has huge responsibility”. Andrew Strauss thanks Radcliffe for his input and is now sweating on the verdict of the chuckle brothers.

Robbie Fowler will miss North Queensland furys opener of the season after picking up another injury but says he`s not there to enjoy the sun. “ I’m not here for a holiday” he said, whilst licking his 99, wearing a kiss me quick hat and riding a donkey.

Paddy Kenny could be suspended for 2 years after testing positive for the band stimulant ephedrine. Doctors also found generous traces of Curly Wurly.
In Kenny `s defence his prosecutors will struggle to say that the banned substance proved performance enhancing.

Roger Federer has revelead that he`s inspired by Mohamed Ali, Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan. Alex Bogdanovis meanwhile says he`s inspired my Neil Kinnock, Frank Spenser, Sarah Palin and the Films of Rick Moranis.

The Toni Report

Have you been hurt in an accident that wasn’t your fault? Would you like to keep 100% of the compensation! GOD im glad im back at work...i couldn’t suffer anymore daytime TV..its getting more like America every day! Although i have missed watching home and away for the fit lovely`s and countdown and deal or no deal...but hey thats what the V+ is for!! You have to be kidding me...your not gonna record that tat are you...erm no! So with not as much time to while away the hours playing FML, it’s good to be back in the working class. Its good for the soul...if you have to play a computer game this much you have problems..serious problems...get help! Its also come to my attention that am calling everyone SON at the moment at work...im going to take Ben Hibbert to court for corrupting me!! And im sure i`ll be able to keep 100% of the compensation! Its what that advert said!! Blissett the gameworld the legends...is having an average of 35-40 managers at any one time good? Not really...is it good that all official FA games are delayed for a week?? Hell no! Is it good for Official SI appointed people to be condescending to customers? Hell yeah! Of course it is! Its in the Official appointed book for all officially appointed people surely! Theres some good and some bad but theres not much point in moaning...CAN WE HELP? HELL no! Cos your not an officially appointed person and anyway we don’t like the way you talk...you`ve had enough chances i tell ya! Maybe im a bit too jazzy for you? Or maybe i actually enjoy the game and don’t want to be mugged off but power crazy people with extra buttons to press! Being an officially appointed person in an online MMO might float some peoples boat..but for me channel 424 on Virgin Media is better than that! Toni.

On that Bombshell!

“The game is great as long as you want to play long term.... I think those that come in and expect to win divisions in there first season are abruptly dragged back to reality- and after their prams have been emptied of toys, they disappear.”

Thats it for the Blog this week...next weeks edition will possibly be on Sunday night! If your lucky! Have a good week! See you on the other side!

Kev.

On a scouting point of view ive been scouring the world for new talent..kids for next seasons u17 team..im suprised there has been none come up on the radar..but maybe now that singing superstar bloke has karked it they may come out of hiding..we need some new blood in the campsite for next seasons adventures into the SEFA dungeons league!

The Rags

And finally to rugby news where Gareth Hock, the Wigan Rugby league player has tested posotive for Cocaine.The club were stunned. An inquest is being held to discover how anyone living in Wigan can afford Cocaine!


The Diccon Brown Coaching Tips.


Back to basics If your youngens continually pass the ball across the goal tie them hands and feet to a roof above a crocodile pit… see how they then will do anything to get balls away from the mouth (of the goal).

If strikers can't score take them clubbing in east London… if they still can't score shoot them… it's for their own good really.

Midfielders who dwell on the ball put in the electric chair version of Mastermind… any time they get an answer wrong crank up the crank up the juice… see who starts to understand a simple pass often works wonders.

And if your keeper is having trouble with where he should be in relation to the goal half John Bobbit him… apparently if you're lacking in that area it's all about positioning.

The Toni Report

Afte blogging and reporting in Blissett for the last few months with a mixture of Real life comment from the real world and some very entertaining discussions and comic genius from the lobby. This will as already mentioned be the last blog for a while. Its been fun and has kept the old brain cells ticking over for the last 3 months whilst ive been away from work.

So what have we learnt from FML as SI/Sega launch a new pro-world and the mass rush from blissett didnt quite happen and Des Oconner has a new album out..what more can you want...we lost a few but nothing to worry about..Im sure with 1.2 arriving on Tuesday and some new marketing from those SEGA lads im sure we will see an influx of new blood to the gameworld..you never know we might even get some people come back to spend there £15m fortunes. Good lad i say! A few thankyou`s..big one to Diccon for the training reports, always amusing. All the managers who appeared in the blog and made some of the transcripts in the early editons amusing and to the mods for allowing me to post the blog within FML...im sure at times it was a little too JAZZY! but there you go..thats what its all about..a very Jazzy Football management SIM!

A parting ..this was probably one of my favourite rants from blogs past..the manager in question is now plying his trade in Whiteside..and if you get a min listen to the pod cast here...the dagger blog gets a mention at 57 mins if you get bored!

http://www.fm-britain.co.uk/2009/05/13/episode-20-vincent-eintracht/

Vincent 'Red Card' Lavezzi: (16:38:17)
And now the FML classified results starting in the Boreclays Premiership .
Stadium Investor 0 ..Team investor 2
Long term planner 0 ..Short term 1
Wreckless Wage FC 4 ..Conservative Utd..1
AI vs active player (courtesy of Diccon Brown)
Artificial City 2 . Sporting Newbie 1
Very funny stuff...a great rant..i wont broadcast the rest as the kids are watching!!

Thats it! Its been a blast!

The Final Whistle 19-06-2009



THE FINAL WHISTLE- The final Say in a week of Football and FM Live.

The week’s Issue is sponsored by Setanta Sports.Show me the money!

In tonight’s action packed issue..

The Dagger Report- Ted Bovis and his youth camp.No tower blocks here!

Diccon Brown`s Training Tips- Tonight we go back to nature

The Rags- No top 5 tonight.Don’t do Korean gags.It’s not the done thing.

The Toni Report- From the Boardroom of the Daggers.Toni`s take on the week

The Final Thought...Just a Thought that’s all.

The Dagger Report

First we kick off with a report from Ted Bovis- Youth and First team coach of Daggers!

Its been a good week of development with these lads, the dressing rooms have been cleaned up, the mold has been removed from the shower tray and the tramp can now piss outside..simple as, there’s no room now for any slapdash changing rooms. This may have something to do with the demands of a certain young man from Mexico. The board went all out for this lad, bidding a meagre 50k wages for this lad...they finally landed the boy for 36k! But he`s gonna be great i tell you...he`s already a dab hand at the karaoke in the ballroom during the evening entertainment sessions. I’m a bit concerned though by the 60 inch plasma he had delivered from ARGO this week...its keeps the lads awake at night..Im also a bit concerned he may fall out of his bunk bed if he gets a bit carried away with the wii remote whilst playing fifa 09. But anyway how are the rest of the lads shaping up...very well..it’s been a good first season...bang in the goals and a few mishaps at the back..it’s all good learning for them...i just wish they’d be more careful when knocking 40 yard cross field passes across their 18 yard box..be careful lads!

Diccon`s training Tips:

Nature vs. Nurture

Well it's not in my nature to nurture so this week the lads are going back to nature.
Yellowstone Park style.

Defenders are training as foresters, practicing felling safely in the area, the mids are learning whittling to get their creativity going, the strikers are sent off hunting anyone without a brace when they get back gets shot and the keepers are off with the bears... well if they can cope with those one on ones...

The Rags

A look into the funnies from the daily rags in London...a few of the best ones from the real world of sport and football

North Korea qualified for World Cup 2010, where they will most likely exit at the group stages. OR, as the Korean press will report it: “KIM JONG Il Hat-trick inspires world cup glory”.

Sky player means you can watch the ashes on the computer at work. It’s great news for cricket lovers, who can follow the action. And better news for HR departments, as those pesky cutbacks are made a little easier “HOWIZEEEE”...well out of a job!
Amanda Holden was at ROYAL ASCOT on Tuesday, apparently she won. Its hard to tell as she tends to look startled most of the time

The IRAN football team showed support for Mir Hosseien Mousavi by wearing green armbands this week. England once showed comparable levels of unity when lampsy and wazza split a round of cristal.

Sheikh Hamden Bin Mohamed al Maktoum is under investigation for horse doping offences. Suspicions were aroused when the horse was found in its stable listening to early Genesis and laughing hysterically at the Queens hat.

Jenso Button says its his talent and not his car that is taking him to the formula 1 title. He has to be commended. Not for winning but for keeping a straight face when he said that.

And Finally, Chelseas Didier Drogba was this week banned from four Champions League games, meaning the only appalling acting and Tuesday and Wednesday evenings can be seen on Hollyoaks..for those that don’t know its a British Teen Soap thing!

The Toni Report

“Im currently the 3rd team in my gameworld and my stadium avg attendance was 45k. But my winger (one of my best player) get injured for 4 days so i stop to play official games.”

Ive lost 10k avg attendance during this period
“Wenger says to Fergie..sorry we cant play this week...fabregas isnt felling well and adebeyor has a nose bleed..can we make it the week after??”

“oh yeh sure...dont worry..i hope they feel better soon and to be honest tevez and rooney have the flu anyway.”
hang on you stopped playing Official games during the injury periods....WHY?? thats the game surely...alot of people do this..doesnt make sense to me..if this was FM08/09 you couldnt do it...this annoys alot of people..

"oh im not playing any games until all my players are fit and my team is in form"
rubbish...buy more players for your squad.

“It depends if you think that fml is a real simulator of football managing or not. I think its only fantasy football, thats why i want to play when my team is full fit and not when my team cant play with all my better players.”

This was the amusing conversation i had with some chap on the forums this week..ive just realised im doing it all wrong...so in that case if ANY of my players get injured or loose form thats it im not playing *stamps feet*

Rubbish its a football management sim where its more true to life than you think...clubs are snapping up young kids on crazy wages...WHY?? well every other mug does so i might as well...36k for a 16 year old..is that too much? Well not really..but is 200k a week for a diving over paid pre-maddonna who goes down well in the box but hacks a mean freekick..well dam right it is...thats just bonkers! And is anyone really worth £80m?? Hmmmmm....no but its like buying a house...if someone wants to give you 200k for your 3 bed semi in suburbia then you take it don’t you! Its the old its only ever gonna be worth what people are prepared to pay...so 80m seems reasonable to me...Fergie can pick up a few players for that and maybe pay for the lads to have a night out? Remember the last time you did that fergie!
To the second week of a new season and SEFA is going well for its maden season, England are out of the 20-20 cricket and England u21 have coasted into the semi`s where no doubt they`ll be sent packing after missing a few penalties.
FML this week...The usual 40 suspects trudging away from around 8pm and all the dual account maniacs will be doing battle in the Pro world on Tuesday...will Swiss Toni be making an appearance there? Maybe-maybe not...am i losing the will to live? Not yet!

Toni

The Final Thought

You know strange as it may seem..even football ultimately isnt that important in life..it’s meant to be entertainment..same as FML..if it’s not then time to take a break..Get laid more it helps a lot!

Have a good week
Kev.

The Toni Report- From the Boardroom at the Daggers Stadium..Toni`s thoughts on the world

The Dagger Report- With Ted Bovis..Hi-De-HI!

Swiss Toni and Jesse`s Love affair with Pardo and CO finally came to an end last Sunday afternoon as winds of change swept through the CCS arena as the old guard was wiped away and a steady airport moving walkway was installed and near on 40 brand new kids were ushered into the Holiday complex newly built near the Daggers Training complex..well i say complex..its more of a bit of grass with an old brick built changing room with shower where tramps piss and you can knock your boots off on those brush things attached to the walls and where the windows are slightly yellow with green mold on..nice tho. The start of the season loomed and these lads were itching to get on with developing into the best group of kids the world have ever seen....ive joined the managers who constantly scour the markets for that elusive 5 star player!! Although im sure all teams will gladly play the daggers kids at senior level...be afraid..the daggers kids are getting better! See you in a few seasons!! Ted.

The Lobbyists

The funny bits from the lobby this week!

Sam Worger says: (16:34:48) I can tell if there going to be a superstar when there in the womb!

Jim _: says: (16:35:41) Ah man my cat just put her foot in my coffee

Sam Worger says: (16:42:17) the wage auctions are like airports, you go in with your bag packed with great players, and when you arrive at the end BA have lost your baggage

Gary Harrison says: (16:45:02)I still can’t believe u don’t get square sausage in England....UN believable

Ross Allan says: (16:39:51)
A moderator said to me what part of don’t swear don’t you understand I said well would you believe me if I suffered from dyslexia

The Rags

A quick look at what’s happening in the world with our usual dip into the daily rags and blah!

This Week`s top 5..

Things to ask yourself before spending £80m on a footballer...
5.Tell me, why is the western world so hated?
4.Whats our motivation: the acquisition of a rare talent, or the thought of sir Alex Ferguson going absolutely mental?
3.Can he give the same qualities as he did at man utd: Grit gile and the ability to be a complete git
2.Have Denilson,Crespo,Veron and Shevchenko not taught us that big money signings do not always work?
1.From Fransico Franco to Ronaldo-What is it about real Madrid and deplorable right wingers

Ronaldo spent Wednesday night with Paris Hilton: OR as the union is now know, ORANGE Wednesday.

RONALDO AND PARIS? Well they are both well known for going down easily

He`s Sulky self obsessed and strangely orange. But like him or or not, Phill Brown did a great job keeping Hull in the top flight.

Congratulations to Bob Crow and the striking tube workers! Because in future when we think of selfish, overpaid greedy whinging tossers we wont be thinking of footballers..Nice one.

I belong to jesus! “KAKA once trilled. Has football not had enough 3rd party ownership?

THE FA`s descision to reimburse England ticket due to the tube strike could cost them £1m. To cover the amount David Beckham will belch into a hanky and sell on ebay.

And Well done to man city for summing the club up yesterday. “yeah, We`ll hold the Gareth Barry press conference on Thursday morning. Quite news day=loads of coverage. Oh hang on i hear theres a spot of news from Madrid!

England coach Fabio Capello looks utterly appalled by his team's start in Almaty and he is in lively form on the bench, even appearing to brush against Stuart Pearce at one point. Steady on, Fabio. He's not called Psycho for nothing.

The Toni Report

From the boardroom of the Daggers Utd CCS Arena we find Swiss Toni in thoughtful mood..thats not a word you normally associate with the Daggers Director of football!
In just a little over 3 hours time the Gameworld will shudder at the prospect of a 16year old Mexican going for i would say atleast 50k wages...crazy stuff, makes the 80m Ronaldo deal look almost sensible. So which lucky manager will have a 16 year old on mega bucks? We shall see at just after midnight tonight. Its not right really is it? Well no but theres not really much choice unless you want to while the night away trudging through senior game after senior game..just becomes pointless..theres only every gonna be a handfull of managers who ever get to that elusive no1 spot..but does it matter? No not really, its about the community spirit and banter in the lobby...who are we kidding eh! Its a football management sim which is so highly addictive its caused a melt down on people lives...its caused FML managers to have a faster typing speed than some of the best typist in the world! Its the 2nd biggest cause now of obesity in the world with more food consumed the the EU food mountain...even pot noodle sales are up! TO those managers who don’t login anymore? What can i say...have you got anything else better not to do? Well yes you probably have, but you can’t just help having a little peak to see if your fiancés allow you to purchase a 2m super youth! We know who you are! “I HATE THIS GAME AND IM RUBBISH AT IT” sure you are!


Have a good week...keep it real..

The Rags-A look into the real world and the end of the season
The Toni Report- booted again!

The Dagger blog is back after last week’s break because of world cup fever hitting the GW..With Toni Flying out to Mexico to take charge of a The Mexicans and taking them to a creditble Semi Final spot..Losing to Poland...but they did manage to beat the Brazilians!

The Dagger Report

The end of another AEFA season saw Daggers UTD relegated back to the championship...but fear not because the Board of the Daggers has decided to take the whole shabang to a new FA..SEFA!! SUPER! WHY i hear you cry...our maybe you don’t mind the team wanted to play more human v human games and 60 games a season is so much better than 40.and with the completion of the 22,000 all seater stadium complete oh i lied theres still 1 block of terracing for nostalga purposes .it just never seemed 40 games is never going to be enough...it promises to be an exciting time for all SEFA teams..with 36 signed up to date and a weekend push to fill it up..It will be the most active FA that’s for sure...so don’t delay join SEFA today! Ud have thought they’d pay me for all the advertising wouldn’t you?

The Diccon Brown Column

This week’s training Methods.

This week, after some poor form, my team have been sent back to school.
Strikers are studying geography, they cant find the net, let's see if they can even find what country they're in.

Keepers are taking shop, they've been relying on the woodwork so much they may as well learn how to use it properly.

The midfield are supervising the playground so they can learn to break up play.
And the defence are driving the school bus, hopefully they can learn to park it.

The Rags

A quick look at what’s happening in the world with our usual dip into the daily rags and blah blah blah!

This Week`s top 5..
....Jobs Tony Adams thinks he can do next.

5. Pop on a dress, and hey presto you`ve got yourself a new fern britton!
4.Be the architect of Celtics celebrations next season and drive the open top bus
3.Cheif senator to her highness queen Estrada, ruler of Zoltan 5 of the alpha nebula
2.Do to expense-fiddling MP`s what he did to that brick wall in 1990
1. Manager a well-know competitive outfit..The Runcorn branch of Tesco


* Tony Adams says he`s in the running for the Celtic job. Yes, the Scottish giants are bored of the perennial two-horse race and fancy a relegation battle

* Steve Bruce had managed clubs based in Huddersfield, Sheffield, Croydon, Wigan and now Sunderland. Bruce either A) wants to climb the managerial ladder; or B) Shares the same booking agent as bobby davro

* Bruce said he want to take Sunderland forward. That either means a top ten finish, or hot running water for everyone.

* Big brother is back! A group of desperate wannabes are thrown together and expected to survive in harmony whilst providing entertainment, even though the nation knows it will end in tears and despair. Rumour has it Mike Ashley is looking to buy the rights

*Susan Boyle fell short of the final of Britains got Talent Last week. An eccentric Scot who lairises opinion, got a bit for their britches ,does like the media, and bottle it on the big stage. On the bright side she`s being lined up as the next manager of Man Utd.

* Roberto Martinez returns to wigan as manager. When he last played for the latics he was the most exotic thing to come to the area since the introduction of the inside toilet.

And finally..I was going to write a gag regarding Australian Cricketer Andrew Symonds but I don’t wanna upset Myron.

The Toni Report

Ah..the toni report, now how can we survive a week without some edgy comment from the king of controversy..its a tricky one. Last week Toni was hauled before the FA committee and stripped once again of his chat helper status...the ever controversial, hard hitting coach of Daggers Utd was described this week as “a blunt instrument”...nice! probably true but never one to shy a way from controversy..although he has found that the IGNORE manager button works a bloody treat..i wonder how many use it on him...does he really care? Not really..its only a game! With the announcement this week of 3 more gameworld`s on route and one of them being a pro-world...will you be leaving? I hope not..many of us remember the Tom`s fiasco.. One final thought for anyone who is going to join the new pro world - GOOD LUCK! At first it may seem like a great idea to go and join 999 other pro-managers however I imagine the reality will be anything but. It will be worse than Toms ever was; a world jammed full of short-term thinking, glory hunting hoppers. JP will be abundant and prices will be astronomical from the start. It will be carnage. Granted there might be the odd exception but I'll bet a pound to a penny that this new gameworld will be an unqualified disaster, full of bitching and endless moaning and problems.

See you all in SEFA for some human on human fun!
Have a good one..
Kev.

The Dagger Report



After 25 games in charge of the Daggers in the AEFA premiership, Swiss Toni has been moved to the Board Room and Jesse has been put in tempary charge of Team affairs that’s unless he has to have heart bypass surgery and we have to get someone from match of the day in to give it a go. It all started so well..some promising performances have turned into a shocking run of results. The daggers are now predicted to finish 3rd bottom and yo-yo back to the championship. It might be good for them some say, but playing this game is all about winning isn’t it? There’s player unrest in the Daggers Dressing Room and Loss of form to key players..The normal Solid Defence is leaking more than member of parliaments expenses sheet and Pardo just can’t score! With the Sale of the entire youth academy to a Columbian drug cartel in exchange for some Columbian footballers who each came with there own suitcases full of Columbian coffee beans, the Cartel was set up as part of the youth acadamey...looks a bit dodgy to me! But i just train them..and keep them away from white lines says jesse...who this week will mainly be overseeing our return to the championship!

The Diccon Brown Column
This week my team have been learning some of the lesser celebrated aspects of the fine game. Strikers have been at the local diving pool, scoring bonus points for distance and number of tumbles in the air, girly shrieks was also encouraged. The defenders sent on computer courses to learn hacking. Keepers sent to church to get used to putting their hands together in front of a higher power so they can imply the striker, both of whose legs are still in the arms of the keeper, must have dived. And the Midfield have been sent to minder school so they know how to gather round one person looking intimidating for any time a ref might make a "wrong" decision.

The Rags

A quick look at what’s happening in the world with our usual dip into the daily rags and blah!

This Week`s top 5..from The premierships beleaguered French manager
Signs Arsene Wenger is losing interest at Arsenal,
5.Out: Frantic mimes From the Dugout. IN:The Macarena
4.Begins every team talk with a weary “ive never like you f***ckers!”
3.”What should we eat before matchdays gaffer? “Vienetta and chips, knock yerselfs out!”
2. “This match should be interesting considering i soacked all your jock straps in a vat of Raljex”
1.”ZUT alors! First i loose my tactics sheet now i loose my trousers!

But worse news this week for arsenal fans this week, Wenger could be off which could me yet another manager coming in and leading them to no trophy`s next season.
Burnley went on a four day trip to Portugal this week, to give them a chance to relax and unwind and to see what an aero-plane looks like close up!

The Clarets are relishing the playoff final and a chance to come to London. Or as their fans call is the big scary place where the queen lives

Cricket news now and Shoiab Akhtar is out of the 20-20 world cup due to “genital warts”.Pakistan will have an injury to deal with when he finds the person who leaked the news and punches him in the mouth.

Andrew Symonds has been dropped by Australlia for the Ashes Tour. But given he once missed training to go fishing, punched a man and admitted to ogling a team mates wife, Symonds will be celebrated in his homeland on a series of stamps.

The Ashes squad was picked by Merv hughes and David Boon. The only way they could get more Australlian is if they changed there official badge to a picture of Lou Carpenter severely beating Dame Edna with a didgeridoo

The last dance of the drowning clubs will be on show this weekend, with some hoping to continue their waltz in the top flight.

Hull City have a dodgy fixture as they host a club that has already won the Premier League, and is looking at adding another trophy to their long list of laurels. Sir Alex may choose to field a second string line-up in order to give some of his important players a rest before the final of the Champions League. This could prompt the Tigers to produce a confident performance, which may see them survive in the relegation battle.

There will be a heated game at Villa Park, where Newcastle will walk onto the pitch knowing that they will be playing one of the biggest games in the history of their club. Anything less than a win will see them playing in the Football League next season. However, even a win may not steady the Toon, since their fate depends on the results of Hull City, and Sunderland. Either one of the aforementioned teams would have to drop points if the roar has to reach Tyneside.

Elsewhere, Middlesbrough are mathematically out of contention, but a queer turn of events could see them avoiding the axe. But it appears highly unlikely that the tide will turn in their favour. Irrespective of their bleak chances, the team will want to put out a strong performance as they go out with their heads held high, or survive in style.

Footy or sex?

New research out today shows that over half of UK men think about football for 10 per cent of the day. The research, carried out by Sports Interactive and SEGA, creators and publishers of Football Manager Live, found almost two thirds (58 per cent) of men think about the beautiful game for more than an hour a day, with just 44 per cent thinking about sex for more than an hour. To aid focus while fantasising about footy, the creators of Football Manager Live have developed a unique 'Concentration Gum', which is available to subscribers of Football Manager Live, the new Massively Multiplayer Online Game from the creators of the Football Manager series. Miles Jacobson, Studio Director of Sports Interactive, said: "Traditionally it is well-documented that men think about sex all the time, but this research proves that men are more obsessed with the beautiful game than they are with the fairer sex. Some top football managers chew gum while concentrating on a big game - and if it works for Sir Alex Ferguson then it's good enough for us!"

The Toni Report

What is up with Blissett then...with no more than 40-60 managers on this world isn’t looking good is it? Why? Im not sure..it looked so bright at the start of the season when 40 odd new managers joined us...although this actually isn’t that good when you consider 85 new managers joined greaves in there pre-season. HMMM! There was a report on the FML website about the state of the economies in FML and Blissett has the worst. I think the biggest problem is that there are a crop of manager who seem to think there Steve Gibson, Nice Stadium steve..shit team..or nice Stadium, the team i really cant be bothered with. Then theres the crop of managers who seem intent on giving 15-16 yr old kids 20k wages! WHY! Your ruining our world, the kids are running riot, there buying fast sports cars and prostitutes they cant drive and there shooting isn’t good enough yet..20k wages! Ur mad!! Theres no answer to it as each to there own...The Dagger Board have spent 1.4m on the stadium trying to keep up...but alas my 1.4m wasn’t good enough...ooooh well is that all?? i spent 3.4m on mine just 5 mins ago...well good for you you mug, its a football management game..its not sim city! Go get urself a WII and a bag of wotsits and some good porno`s, i don’t really care!

To life in the championship once again..I hope the World doesn’t die and we have a spark of inspirtation from somewhere..you never know some mods might admit there wrong sometimes, maybe marriage will mellow them...listen to your community...cos if you don’t..there will be some big rubber hand waving as we close the door behind us, lets just hope they don’t open a new semi or pro gameworld as i think there will be a rush to the transfer button

Have a good one..

The Final Whitle-Blissett Gw Edition 15.6.2009



The Dagger Blog. Blissett Gameworld Edition 15/06/2009

Is this week proudly sponsored by Ally Dale (pure inspiration)Fragrance for Men?

In this week’s handy email sized Edition..

Life in the Prem...1st Team coach Swiss Toni and his first week`s report from the AEFA Prem
The Diccon Brown Column...Diccons guide to training methods
TV favourites....can you watch TV and play FML at the same time?
The Real World...Our usual dip into the freebies and online Forums..
The Toni Report...A Swiss eyed view at the Gameworld and what the state of play is

Life in the Prem

We managed to grab a minute with Daggers Utd first team coach Swiss Toni...”The first game of the season we suffered out first defeat and to be honest more than expected to the Morose Maruaders..but with a respectable 3-2 scorline..things didn’t look so bad..perticular pleasure came in the next 4 games...2 draws to Ben Hibberts Dynamos and a 2 wins against the much fancied Norfolk N Chance gave the daggers dressing room a glimmer of hope for the rest of the season...However with 2 defeats against Korsten and Buckfast the reality of premiership life had hit us.perticularly the next 4 games produced no wins although 2 draws against the Grizzlies and Pumas..the spirit was lifted....Next came BHA..Rikki Hawkins had rememeber which team to log in under and 2 defeats were again registered on the league table for the daggers, with a further Defeat against Puma`s it looks like its going to be a hard struggle from here on in. The youth side were fairing well with a couple of top class loans in from the Dublin Hearts we were doing well..amusingly because of an administrative cock up with the AEFA organisation the Daggers Board have decide to cash in on the youth wages and just Loan em in for the rest of the campaign!! Its like a branch of blockbusters in the dressing room when the youth have a game! I keep having to scan people membership cards and give them free bottles of coke and bags of revels!

The Diccon Brown Column
This weeks training Methods..

I gave the boys a week off for some team building exercises
Keepers went paintballing... or rather were tied up as the practice target dummies to help them get used to stopping shots. The defence were taken to see how castrato singers get their dulcet tones... they're now a lot more concerned about their tackles. Strikers had a stint as deep sea trawler men to help them find the net. Wingers took a week in intensive labour camps to help them learn about an end product. And the midfield were enlisted and sent to a war zone... one way or another I'll have midfield generals.

They're all now VERY keen to get back to training as normal

TV favourites....can you watch TV and play FML at the same time?

It occurred to me today that i sit playing FML in front of me and the TV is always on...so what is your top ten background TV programmes...i say background cos u don’t really watch them properly do you?
In no Particular order heres what normally on for me...

Top Gear on Dave or Dave Ja Vu...that’s witty isn’t it..genius
Mock the Week on Dave
Dragons Den on Dave
MOTD on BBC
MOTD on BBC 2
Casualty on BBC (the Mrs. has control here)
CSI on LIVING +1+2 or Channel 5
Only fools and Horses on Gold or +1
The Vicar of Dibley on Gold or +1
MASH on Comedy Central

Couldn’t think of a 10th...so its down to the flick through of all channels on the virgin box..stopping at Sons of Arnorchy, Have i Got news for you, Buzzcocks, The A-Team..and if im really desperate for some background TV sounds..setanta or skysports news, CNN or BBC news..

Or heres an IDEA...just turn the bloody thing off Cos your not REALLY watching it are you?? I’m sure I should really be out with the lads, down the pub, but hang on I’ve done all that for the last 20 years and besides i can always chat to them on MSN or they text me endless jokes about swine flu.. so now its come to this...with my 19th month old daughter safely tucked up in her sleepsuit kicking nine bells out of the bars on the COT..i can finnaly have some piece and quite..AHHHH. well almost cos the TV is on don’t forget!

The Real World
This week we look around the Forums and the bits of the freebies that are actually quite funny and topical!
When FML has taken over and that I can’t bring myself to play FM09 anymore..

Always been a complete addict to FM games, but FML just blows it to bits, every minute I was playing FM09 I felt like I was wasting good time that could be spent on FML. For a while I was playing both at the same time, but that just made me feel like I wasn’t paying enough attention to FML!!!!

Football manager is like your long term girlfriend that you were comfortable with and FML is like her bigger chested, smutty supermodel sister in law who started popping round to take you dogging when your long term girlfriend was at the gym etc

Although for comfort and nostalgia reasons you still hang out with your old girl friend every now and then but its not the same, the supermodel has you 100% under her thumb!

Thanks SI, you managed to quench one obsession whilst getting me hooked on something even more addictive!

INTERSTING...A New FA on the horizon?
The White Van Man FA (TWVM)

Monday to Thursday 6pm-10pm as he works 9-5

Friday no times as he’s off down the pub with his mates

Saturday 9am-12pm- bit of FML before he sets off to the pub before the match

Sunday 12pm-10pm what better way is there to spend a Sunday other then FML while watching footy on the box?


Our Top 5 this week comes from the Free London Paper...not the dodgy Lite one tho!
THINGS YOU DONT WANT TO HEAR FROM A FOOTBALLER

5” Of course i`ll sign your autograph, Junior. In exchange for your hot, Slutty looking mum`s phone number!
4.”Failed the breathalyser? HA! Well, thank god this isn’t a drugs test!
3.”Wait till they find out we`ve been claiming expenses!
2.The fans, the chairman, this clubs proud history. These are 3 things i ignored most when signing. I came for the cash!
1.”im on thousands a week.I don’t Train. I miss every other game. Tell me, why do the public not like us?

With Man Utd 1 point from the Title,Sir Alex has warned against complacentcy. HE began an impromptu conga, popped open a bottle of champagne, clapped his hands and chanted “easy,easy,easy”

Paul Gascoigne will be appearing on the next series of im a celebrity get me out of here. He`ll have to live rough,sleep outdoors and eat insects. It`ll be just like 2008 for him!

Harry Redknapp has banned booze at spurs after Ledley King staggered out of a nightclub.” You shouldn’t put diesel in a Ferrari, or in Kings case an Austin Allegro with a wonky tyre. "You've only got to go abroad in the summer to certain parts of the world, you see drunken kids laying around, acting like maniacs, causing problems and it's a problem we've had in this country for years now," added Redknapp.
King Himself took 2 steps forward and 8 steps back, 3 forward, eight back and six forward. Its not clear wether he was drunk, or trying to interpret Spurs recent history through the medium of dance

And finally this week Chelsea`s Ashley cole is sick on a hairdresser, Ledley King staggers from a nightclub and ends up weating his pants in a police cell , Arsenal Nicklas bendtner is caught with his jeans round his knees. The Pressure must be mounting on Fulham and West Ham to do something TRULY remarkable!

The Toni Report (sponsored by www.blissett.org)
Another week is over in FML and its business as usual really, the rantings from newbie’s about not having there cups started and that no bugger is on to play..there’s 450 million managers on in Shearer gw..well i know what would do then pal!! Only kidding...just take it easy! Join the fun in the lobby...tune in at 12:11 for a usual insite into everyone’s finances..oh look at me ive got a massive daily profit and your all shit!! Well thanks that`ll make me sleep easy now you sad people! Why do we play this game? Because we are all aspiring Football managers? Is it in the bloody that most Male Uk inhabaties just have to have some kind of football shoot up every day? Well it beat`s crack cocaine any day...apparently...and then theres the managers that comes on now and again just to check if his/her`s bank account has been boosted enough to be bothered to play at all, ah don’t worry i`ll be back in a couple of seasons by which time i`ll have 5-6 million in the bank and you can all sod off cos im going to be be the best...or there’s the manager who just hates the game! Did we force you to sign in tonight? No...its the drugs!! Get me to rehab!!

That’s it..have a good second week of Season 5 and rememeber...think of the environment...do you really need the TV on?

Playoff Fever hits the daggers- The Swiss Toni Report

The pressure is on now after a terrible run in the last 12 games resulted in 5 draws in a row a couple of out of character defeats and ending in 2 wins..but the daggers found themselves in the playoffs. Swiss Toni has been hard at work on the training pitch this week and after a bust up with Swedish Striker Marcus Berg...Berg was sold in a swap deal with Ally`s superstars for the impressive Marcos Aurelio...who scored an good 10 in 15 during this pre-season week. The playoffs loomed and the tension mounted as 7 managers came to watch the first of the games v Shaun Wrays mighty bob the badger with the much underated aliadiere leading the line...the first game was a great 2-2 draw..with a last gasp goal from the badgers...the 2nd game of the 3 team league saw another tight affair but with new signing Aurelio thrown on at HT in place of the tired looking Felippe Pardo..a winner late on sent the daggers faithfull into a pitch invasion where im sorry to report several were arrested for trying to take the turf so they could drop it off at Wembley from the final!

Childcatcher joins Blisett

In an exclusive interview with new manager “Morris Day” or is it Leigh eccletsone? We go undercover to see what our new manager has been up to with his big child catcher net..”I forgot to confirm my squad after the first 24 hours of me being in the Game world then just after midnight I went poaching..night fishing is the best you know...and poached myself some potentially good youths..and as i could sign them all on my initial squad...happy days!” Morris left the interview waving 2 fingers at me as he left...what a guy!
Morris Day: says: (10:07:19) “yeah, cos clearly with the 500k starting millions, the ability to sign regens at midnight should be missed.”
Morris Day: says: (10:07:37) “i took one player from one day, one player - then the rest last night and confirmed
Morris Day says: (10:07:52)my initial pick all expired cos i forgot to confirm - the hardship for you all.

Mexican Manager of the XFA premier league was not available to comment on the controversy which he uncovered in the early hours...i wonder if i can get him to find out how many teams ricki Hawkins has in the gameworld...hmmm!

Blisett Gameworld in hijack of Laudrup

We welcomed 26 new managers to the world this week after an intense advertising campaign on the SI forums...even hijacked the Laudrup game world advertisement...I’m amazed Swiss Toni wasn’t beaten up for it! Still we now have some great new managers in!!

The Diccon Brown Column
Signs you have been playing FML too much!
Diccon "something amusing here" Brown: says: (20:30:27)
gah I have the game on normal speed because they other guy go logged off and giving him a chance to get back but I think my eyes might be bleeding now... can anyone tell me... is my team kit bright red?

Training Tips

Diccon "something amusing here" Brown: says: (20:50:21) I have new training methods for my keeper
Diccon "something amusing here" Brown says: (20:51:28) he stands on the ground floor... I go to the second then drop his ipod, then tv... then family... see if his handling improves
I believe in darwinian training
anyone who survives can play
Diccon "something amusing here" Brown: > says: (20:53:14)
after all I only need 11
Diccon "something amusing here" Brown says: (20:53:34)
It's like takeshi's castle but more painful

So there we have it...forget ya delusion dallagio seats...get yourself a tower block for your training ground!
The Red tops
The top five this week is...Things overheard on the way home from Chelea v Barcelona
5.” Well look on the bright side, Billy. You can tell all your pals at school you were there on the night that `doing a Didier!` passed into the vernacular!”
4. “Drogbas set a bad example to the kids . Not with the tantrums..more the constant choking in front of goal.
3. I think the big winner this week was Joanna Lumley. Am i right guys? Guys? Anyone?
2. Didier should know by now that only Andy Gray gets to shout irritating gibberish Live on sky!
1.”its the night that keeps on giving-I now have to tell the mrs were not getting married in ROME!

Following on from the Doing a Didier, John Terry said controversial referee Tom Henning Ovrebo should face the consequences! Ah theres nothing quite like a member of the Terry family wanting to lay down the law

Incidently Ovrebo has been hidden away where nobody can find him. He`s been given his own chat show on ITV 2!

The players also went clubbing after the game, where the DJ was asked to play Barcelona by Freddie mercury. But they didn’t need reminding of someone who could deliver on the big stage!

Niclas Bendtner was thrown out of the boujis nighclub this week with his jeans round his thighs,having actually played well for Arsenal. He explained “i missed the liberating feeling of being embarrassingly exposed in public!

Muppets intimidate Ref shocker!

have a word with your players... as bad as chelsea for ref intimidation. Marcus Vinícius Belo's Goal:match clip#499701655> See link in GW email for view of the goal! And you think drogba was bad!! This referee has got ARMY protection from the Ghurkas!

So what have we all learnt from playing FML for 4 seasons now..I believe SI should be held accountable for Dave`s Increased viewing Figures, the Obesity rating from eating bags of cheesy puffs, youghurts, Kebab Flavour pot noodles and also for the Divorce rate going up, mainly due to the increased cranking up the grill for a late night snack and waking the whole house up...and also for the increased rate of sick days....not to mention the getting rid of the sqeeky seat tilt control on your computer chair because of the extra weight it is carrying...I think the game has gone to far when people send emails out like this...makes you well up for the lad..

Hey everyone,
This has been a great experience for me. Starting late into the game, I remember looking at all the top managers thinking how great it would be to have such a world class team. It all started with a few lucky signings, where i would see myself slowly climbing the ladder of success. I honestly dont see myself as a great manager, or even a tactical genious, but rather a manager, whom has gained his success by getting to make many friends, whom have guided me with their words of wisdom and infinate thoughts. At first i thought this was just a game, but for some reason, it started growing into me, becoming sort of an addiction. I would sit and think of new tactics, and slowly analyze how it went wrong during this and that game. Finally, i was able to make a team, which in my opinion " cant get better" and from there, we became number one on the world.. I thought by then, it would be the greatest feeling, but when i got there, i realized that the friendships i have gained are actually the greatest asset of my fml experience. I will not list names, as the list of managers goes on and on, and im sure most of them know who they are. I thank everyone for this great time, and i assure u, i shall be back soon. Im thinking a good 2 months will get me rested and eager to climb the ladder once again. I wish everyone the best in life, and hope that i have not offended anyone throughout my time here. I would also like to thank the moderators and all those whom have kept this game a fair one for everyone. Yes we have had our issues, but nonethless i know deep inside, all the moderators here were only trying to do good... Once again, thank you everyone.. and good luck..
Best regards,

My life...this guy needs to goto rehab...its a game!! Why has it got to this? Well the community and banter and chatting from the safety of your squeek free computer chair is probably one of the reasons....When i eventually return to work in the next few weeks i can safely say i wont be on here as much...but none the less...FML wont be un-installed just yet...surely it can only get better...they might even fix the AI fiasco and the ridiculously good uber player like Aguerro...its just not natural for someone to score 460 odd goals in as many games....just not realistic..nor is it realistic to score in the 95th minute of every game you loose!
Have a great Season 5! Catch u in the AEFA chat or maybe the lobby..

In this Weeks Bank Holiday Blog...

Blisett opens to the World on the 4th? This week our look at why you should get your mates to give up the social lives and wives, girlfriends, mates, companions, your Xbox, PS3 and any other game you have sitting on your shelf still cling wrapped.

The Dagger Report
First we head over to The Daggers Utd coaching centre to catch up with First Team coach Swiss Toni..”After last week the league table was looking grim for the daggers push for promotion but the sun was shining as the bags of balls were wacked round the training pitch and cones were dribbled round and the changing rooms were given a quick going over with a Tin of Dulux matt emulsion...and to our 7 game in the league this week ALL against AI which was a worry as our history againt the mighty AI machine of FML was not a pretty one....but non the less 7 played, 5 wins and 2 draws catapulted the daggers to 6th in the AEFA Div 1, with 2 teams above us on the borderline AI penalties a return to the top flight of the AEFA Federation is look good...with 15 goals in the bag things are looking good and with Pardo out inj for the majority of the last 7 games, Berg, Lombardi and Brahimi have take over goal scoring responsibilities to great effect...seems strange that Berg has been scoring since Pardo was injured...must be a 40k guilt thing!! So with the end of season approaching and only to play Brusdals who are currently top of the big clubs all is looking good particularly as the Dublin hearts dropped points this morning but followed up with a Fine 5-0 thrashing of favourites WKS....my tips for promotion are..The Daggers, Dublin Hearts, Bayern Munich, Blantyre and the outsiders Buckfast Bandits on the AI rule...” Thanks Toni for that insight into the toils of the AEFA D1...or is that toilet? I don’t know!

The Diccon Brown Column
5 reasons not to play with a hangover
Diccon "Chopper" Brown says: (21:26:28)
5: you don't care that auto select has put your star striker in goal
4: you're two nil down and too apathetic to even contemplate looking at the tactics screen
3: your head hurts
2: Everything that goes wrong only increases you’re already foul mood and the general feeling that the world has it in for you... and your head hurts
1: 5 injuries later you're still not making changes because the flashing lights as you switch between pages hurt your head... and your head hurts a lot.
Diccon Brown says: (15:56:18)
I have to say... I really couldn't be clever

Extra Pullout Special...How not to sell your player...or maybe..just maybe..anyway found this on a tour of another gameworld!

KEv "Swiss Toni Flack: says: (15:13:16)


“Rod Fanni for sale Great all round right back buy him for his skill buy him for his talent buy him for his name buy him purely because you would love your daughter to lose her virginity to him he is Rod FANNI. A great right back great stats, can also play centre back. He is 30 but still has 4 green arrows. Relatively cheap wage! Auction starts today at market value!”
Or failing that kind of advert...why not just use this one...always a winner..your players is mates of someone famous..
“Taking offers for this TOP CLASS forward, friend of Samuel Eto”!
The Lobby Pullout
Away from your keyboard too long ? Need some new youth players? Or what do you reckon to this swine flu pandemic?
Andrew Hunter says: (19:03:36)
It’s me who needs money, that tom guy keeps tempting me with nice youths
Brad: says: (12:43:08)What exactly is the problem, I was eating pie so was afk..
Jim Hamilton says: (22:59:09)
'life getting you down? try new JML Swine Flu!'.
So apparently this week....AFK means I’m away from keyboard eating a pie, Andrew hunter is being tempted by tom weir with some nice youths (someone call the police!)...and Jim Hamilton is convinced JML are now selling strains of Swine flu...lovely!

The GREAT AI SCANDAL!
Is it a scandal or is the lure of spending hours playing a Football management game beginning to ware off? When our merry band of beta testers started out on this road trip many months ago..we couldn’t be AFK without so much as grabbing a quick pukka from the fridge our sitting up till midnight waiting for your ranking to change and see how much your finances had been pumped up..but! Is the novelty waring off? I think it is for some I’m sad to say, its just not fun anymore i ve seen people say..Which brings me to the point...what is an MMO...heres the Web definition..` A massively multiplayer online game. A computer game in which a large number of players can simultaneously interact in a persistent world`..well this isn’t really happening is it...its not so many human v human games at the moment..its the AI situation that is really beginning to grind...so much so that our resident lobby ranter earned himself a bit of a kickin this week..SO whats the answer?? Maybe more official tournaments...shorten the off season maybe by a few days? Theres only so many friendlies tournaments you can play...maybe every 2 seasons hold a World cup during the off season? The community i think plays a massive role in these kind of games...just playing a football management sim just isn’t enough..being able to out witt human opponents online in a controlled environment...its the future isn’t it? Or is it playing fm09 over your laggy netgear network is the answer where you’re continually asking your buddies to HURRY UP!! So for now we`ll stick with the MMO then! I think the introduction of the much hyped 1.2 patch will make a huge difference..so stick in there! Its a great game even if it does get to you sometimes.. but never forget it’s only a game and you really really need to give the grass a cut!
The Tabloids – some humour from around the world of real sport!
You gotta love our top premiership managers..although there no a patch on there FML counterparts..are they?
Sir Alex Ferguson banters with the press ahead of United's Champions League semi-final with Arsenal.
"I thought he was coming to watch Middlesbrough - or maybe because we have good red wine in the directors' box."
Arsene Wenger on learning Sir Alex attended Arsenal's win over Middlesbrough on Sunday. United play Boro at the weekend.

"He is supposed to be our best ref, but if he's the best, I'd hate to see the worst."

"If I'm given £6m to spend like I was last time, which included transfer fees, wages, signing on fees and agents' fees, then we'll all be in trouble.''
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy gets his excuses in early after recalling his last venture into the top flight with Sunderland.

"I want to help other clubs. I speak my mind and other chairmen should too. In fact, they can come and have lunch with me at Harrods, where I can serve them stags' testicles from my Scottish estate. We all need big balls in this business.''
Al Fayed presents his fellow-chairmen with an offer they can't refuse.
"If I wasn't up for challenges I'd be out walking my dogs today. I think my dogs need a break.''
Roy Keane reveals the real reason he returned to management with Ipswich.

Lawro: "You could if there was a buffet at the end of it."

In other news...

As swine fever sweeps the globe,i bet Sven Goran Eriksson is a relieved man, not for his tactical genius but his timing on leaving mexico!

The Symptons of swine flu are grim: not being yourself, you look jaded, you choke horribly..oh no wait thats lionel messi!

Graeme Souness ,Ruud Gulitt, and Glen hoddle were the former managers telling fergie and wenger what they should have done on sky during the champions league semi..Next week Jon Barrowman, Gok Wan and boy George give there tips on wooing the ladies!

Stephen Hendry says the buzz of recording a 147 this week cost him his place in the last 4. Fans knew he was delirous when he went from a state of “soporifically lifeless” to “Torpidly bland”

Finally this week...Get your mates into Blisett...you know it makes sense!

4 Seasons ago / A crack set of Football Teams were sent to a bad FML GAMEWORLD by a military court for a foul they didn't commit.

These Teams promptly escaped from a maximum security GAMWORLD to join Blisett. Today, still wanted by the support team at SI headquarters, they survive as Football managers of fortune.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can join .. BLISETT!!

Starring your Mods :- Marcus the Hannibal Cain, Glen "Howling Mad Murdock" Fyrth -, Deano `The Faceman` Philpin, Rich `the crazy fool` Gibson, Super Sheff and introducing Andreas Timmelstad as the man with a tool for every occasion..

Come join Blisett...with many Gameworld benefits..
http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=121486 for full member benefits!

To another fun filled week in The Blissett gameworld, will we see that much needed influx of new managers, will we set yet more de-activated accounts?? ( i hope not) will we see another Rant from our resident ranter? Hope so...he`s always game for a laugh..its D-Week for the Daggers both in real life and FML..one vying for that elusive playoff spot in League 2 and there FML counterparts aiming for the Premiership...Will Pardo and Berg fire us into the promised land?
In next weeks issues...A full report of who one what in Blisett...Have you voted for the Community manager of the year award yet?? No? Well ok you know what to do!!
Have a good one

The Dagger Report

First we head over to the Daggers Training pitch this week to speak to First Team Coach Swiss Toni. I had to drop Pardo this week...we were on a 14 match losing streak and with Berg on the bench counting his 40k a week it was time to get him on the pitch. With our First AEFA D1 match of this week against a tough bob the badger line-up the daggers were back in form with a cracking 4-1 win, followed by a respectable 1-1 draw with the brudsals magicians. This was followed by back to back game against the jelly babies, honours even a 1-0 win at home and a 2-0 defeat away which was followed by another 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bayern munich. The League campaign was back into it stride with a 1-0 win against Ventotene FC before 1-1 draw and a 1-0 defeat finished this week's AEFA D1 for the daggers, we are currently sitting 2nd in the League after 2 cracking wins over Elmo live posting 7 goals in to games against the lacklustre Jon Harrod`s Live team. But having played many more games than the rest, mid-table safety looks like being on the cards for the daggers...maybe a cup run will lift the spirits on the Training pitch this next week after an Aggregate win to reach round 3 of the NON prem cup! SO Toni`s first week back....bit of a mixed bag really...heres a tip...don't keep changing ur tactics!!!

With the World Snooker Championships in full swing this week and Stephen Hendry on the comeback trail we take a look at what the London Paper has to say on the one time Scottish Maersto of the green baize.

5 Ways to make Stephen Hendry more maraketable:

5: Hire Rafeal Benitez as your defensive coach

4: As a Homage to bullseye turn and ask the audience wether he should "gamble" or "play safe"

3: Did somebody say re-record "snooker loopy" as a power ballad? I believe they did

2: SCREAM "Im seven times world champion bitch" everytime he makes a tricky shot

1: Knock up the simply adorable Susan Boyle from Britains Got Talent

Stephen Hendry backed modern snooker this week by saying "the likes of Alex Higgins pissing in his plant pots and headbutting officials" having seen some of the snooker this week i cant think of anything id like watching more!

Liverpool fans will feel like classic matches are like London buses. You wait for ages for 1 to come along and 2 come along at once....any you come away feeling you`ve been savagely mugged.

Steven Gerard was a guest pundit this week for sky sports during the draw with Arsenal. He was erudite, insightfull and never once bought things back to himself. Andy Gray apologised and promised normal service would be resumed

Arsene Wenger this week said that Adebayor missed the Liverpool match this week due to a re-currence of `tiredness` He could also be a doubt for the weekend because of a recurrence of wingers size 11 up his backside...he must have been to one of diccons motivational seminars!

David Beckham wants to beat malaria. For a man who has never beaten a full back, i don't fancy his chances.

And finally Roy Keane is in at Ipswich and one well wisher was pleased "im thrilled to see him back in day-day management" barked roy`s tired dog Triggs!

So to another week in the Blisett gameworld..is there a hint of boredom setting in? Im not sure our heart is in it at the moment...i know what it is though...its British Summer time!!! Thats what it is...the world is all sitting outside on street cafe`s drinking Rumanian ruisling or a cheeky magners in a pint glass with ice!! Or is everyone `s Panini sticker album falling apart because they cant get that last gold badge cos the kids wont do swopsies in the playground...with the Agurro saga laid to rest in the history books ..will we ever see that elusive youth from Dublin hearts break the 1m barrier...have you all got your Juding potential skill yet?? If not just find out who`s bidding for all the potential superstars..then you don't need it...im pointing my finger at the welsh for this one!!

Louis Balfour im happy to report has settled nicely into his new role at our sister club in another world away...His name was cleared by the powers that be..which is niiiiiiiiceeee!!

Have a Good Week

4: As a Homage to bullseye turn and ask the audience wether he should "gamble" or "play safe"

3: Did somebody say re-record "snooker loopy" as a power ballad? I believe they did

2: SCREAM "Im seven times world champion bitch" everytime he makes a tricky shot

1: Knock up the simply adorable Susan Boyle from Britains Got Talent

Stephen Hendry backed modern snooker this week by saying "the likes of Alex Higgins pissing in his plant pots and headbutting officials" having seen some of the snooker this week i cant think of anything id like watching more!

Liverpool fans will feel like classic matches are like London buses. You wait for ages for 1 to come along and 2 come along at once....any you come away feeling you`ve been savagely mugged.

Steven Gerard was a guest pundit this week for sky sports during the draw with Arsenal. He was erudite, insightfull and never once bought things back to himself. Andy Gray apologised and promised normal service would be resumed

Arsene Wenger this week said that Adebayor missed the Liverpool match this week due to a re-currence of `tiredness` He could also be a doubt for the weekend because of a recurrence of wingers size 11 up his backside...he must have been to one of diccons motivational seminars!

David Beckham wants to beat malaria. For a man who has never beaten a full back, i don't fancy his chances.

And finally Roy Keane is in at Ipswich and one well wisher was pleased "im thrilled to see him back in day-day management" barked roy`s tired dog Triggs!

So to another week in the Blisett gameworld..is there a hint of boredom setting in? Im not sure our heart is in it at the moment...i know what it is though...its British Summer time!!! Thats what it is...the world is all sitting outside on street cafe`s drinking Rumanian ruisling or a cheeky magners in a pint glass with ice!! Or is everyone `s Panini sticker album falling apart because they cant get that last gold badge cos the kids wont do swopsies in the playground...with the Agurro saga laid to rest in the history books ..will we ever see that elusive youth from Dublin hearts break the 1m barrier...have you all got your Juding potential skill yet?? If not just find out who`s bidding for all the potential superstars..then you don't need it...im pointing my finger at the welsh for this one!!

Louis Balfour im happy to report has settled nicely into his new role at our sister club in another world away...His name was cleared by the powers that be..which is niiiiiiiiceeee!!

Have a Good Week
