Football Manager 2008 (PC)

Every year without fail I head out and buy the latest football management sim from the almighty Sports Interactive on the day of release. This year was no different, and as soon as I finished work on the 18th of October I went straight for the shops to get my hands on Football Manager 2008 - a game I'd get to know very well in the weeks and months post-purchase.

Football Manager can be annoying it can can be frustrating it can wreck your social life it can cause rows among your household because you never talk to them!!! That is and what always has been about Football Manager I tend to try and not play it much because it can become stupidly addicted.
