Thats the only symptom I have ever had, in bed at night, at work when no one would be talking to me, wondering should I try him up front, should I sell him off. Sad really.

And to take it further again, when you think about what you would do if the BBC offered you a special guest role on the couch on match of the day. Would you take it or say no as your a pure football man who needs to concentrate on his team and not get involved in the circus of tv.

While doing the Promenade walk in Salthill, you think to yourself (as manager of Salthill Devon):

"If I could just land Ben Webster for central midfield, I'd own this city!"

On this,
If, when you take over a club, or switch club mid career, you photoshop a picture of yourself in the club jersey/colors to make it more realistic.

markesmith

You decide to save the game and go off and have a think to yourself as to whether Brian Shelley is really the man to solve your weak area at right-back.

For Forks Sake

I remember a few years back on another forum a lad documenting how he got dressed up in a suit just to play a FA Cup final on FM.

When you win the Champions League with Bolton!

And..when you remember the wasted potential of a young Freddy Adu
