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..

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..

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."
