This Euro win was a bit unexpected, and ahead of schedule. But looking at the Welsh first team it isn’t too much of surprise. The defence is superb with Ebdon (not Oster as I thought), Brian Willams and Page Hughes and Ward are as good as anyone. Speed is ageing but solid, and I will… Read More How to win the World Cup…WITH WALES!!! – Part 5
Season 6 – 2002/03 First things first, Ian Rush has finally retired – thank God! Good innings lad. I check the Free Transfer, I confirm the stats, Danny Mardon is the new Ian Rush. Welcome to the game. No time to find your feet Danny boy, you’re late and have a lot of catching up… Read More How to win the World Cup…WITH WALES!!! – Part 4
Season 4 – 2000/01 The season ended with Sparky retiring, this is huge as he is one of the big 3 of regens we need to make this challenge work. Also retired are Clayton Blackmore and Dean Saunders. These players were not great, but if I can pick up their regens early doors and farm… Read More How to win the World Cup…WITH WALES!!! – Part 3
Season 2 – 98/99 Start of a new season and time to start phase 3 of my World Cup plan – Flood the Market. The team promoted from the Conference was in fact…Altrincham. When a team gets promoted into the Football League, they generally have no players. I can help there…

The grand finale. Dave is here to close our week of Norwich City with an underappreciated diamond in the CM series…read on! CM4 is for many, the forgotten CM. Released in March 2003, it suffered delays in production and meant it launched relatively late into the 02/03 season. This did allow people more time to… Read More CM4 – Norwich | @CM9798
Rob is here as we approach the end of our Norwich City week. It’s CM0102 so surely we’ll see some legends…surely? Oh I forgot, the money… Another BLOG squad challenge was suggested, something to do with Norwich. I’d been playing a fair bit of CM01/02 so I said I would take that edition. While the… Read More Norwich City Challenge – CM01/02 | @Taitanator
Andrew is here for day five and he’s back at his favourite version, CMooooooooooooohhhhone. It’s not a squad of players any sound manager would buy, so how will he get on? This week the team are taking on the ‘Norwich City Challenge’ over a number of versions of Championship Manager. For my sins, CM00/01 is… Read More Norwich City Challenge – CM00/01: The Purks Of Being A Champ Man Legend | @KingOfTheRooks
Here’s Ross with an attempt at ‘how quick can I summarise a season‘; Guinness Book of Records, are you reading? Anyway…its 1998/99, take it away Ross… Well here we are again, I missed the Blackburn challenge as Windows 11 made it impossible for me to play any iteration of CM. After weeks of fiddling &… Read More The Norwich City Challenge: CM3 (98/99) | @RossBell
