When life replicates Football Manager

[RedinSweden]

This just screams FM media interaction. I expect a headline of "Chris Sutton speaks of admiration for Shrews boss Paul Simpson".

 

 

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | L | Lincoln | Oakes is very talented - Sutton

 

Oakes is very talented - Sutton

 

Lincoln City manager Chris Sutton says midfielder Stefan Oakes is the most talented player in League Two.

 

Sutton handed Oakes the captain's armband for the 1-0 victory over Aldershot Town, a role he is expected to retain for the trip to Macclesfield.

 

He told BBC Radio Lincolnshire: "In this league, I don't think there's anyone with Stefan Oakes' talent.

 

"I think he's a fantastic player and has got a left foot players in higher divisions would dream of."

 

Sutton added: "I want to get the best out of him - I want to win games - and a fit Stefan Oakes would be a fantastic asset to Lincoln City.

 

Oakes, 31, who began his career at Leicester City had been placed on the transfer list by previous manager Peter Jackson after struggling last season.

 

He joined Lincoln from Wycombe on a free transfer in June 2008.

Oakes contented with Sutton praise

 

Stefan Oakes, Lincoln City's 31-year-old English midfielder, has said he is happy about Chris Sutton's recent comments. However, Oakes did acknowledge that he was under no illusions, and knows he is capable of upping his level of performance over the coming weeks.

Apart from Oakes, who gets "Delighted with performance"

[Strontium]

I guess Rafa has pulled out the "You've been clueless all over the pitch" one quite often this season.

[Byrnie]

Rafa: I hope Manchester United crash and burn.

[philyhamann]

Rafa is crap in FM too.

[Fowlers God]

Rafa "lucas will fulfill potential, along with babel"

[Guest Ulysses Everett McGill]

Rafa is crap in FM too.

 

You know Philly, I get a feeling that you don't paticularly rate Rafa

 

I don't know why, just call it a hunch

[philyhamann]

You know the scary thing, I'M INTO MY THIRD SEASON IN MY NEWCASTLE GAME AND LIVERPOOL HAVE JUST STARTED THE LEAGUE BY LOSING 4 GAMES AND HIS JOB ISNT UNDER THREAT (I NEVER START WITH LIVERPOOL I ALWAYS WORK MY WAY UP).

 

THOUGH WE STILL HAVE ALONSO.

Come on, Andy. It's just a game. FM that is.

[DT]

I also love it when crazy things happen in the game and you think "that would NEVER happen in real life."

 

And then Notts County go and sign Sven Göran Eriksson, Kasper Schmeichel and Sol Campbell whilst Blackburn take Roberto Carlos on trial.

Caps lock liar.

Although all season he'd been saying;

 

"After 90 minutes of pure hell, you're gonna be thirsty! Lucozade Sport, gets to your thirst, fast."

[philyhamann]

Caps lock liar.

Isotonic.

[philyhamann]

sometimes in fm when im pwning too easily i just start telling my team they're shit after they're up 5-0 at half time.

[castle_red]

Isotonic.

 

Ridiculous how rare it is now to get fizzy lucozade sport, in cans, as advertised by JB. Superior to the still one.

[RobbieOR]

I won the league yesterday with Liverpool in the 2009-2010 season. With Kun up front with Torres and Javi Martinez instead of Alonso adn I sold Lucas.

 

*Hopes Rafa is reading*

I still haven't seen anyone volley a can of lucozade isotonic sports into a bin like digger.

And even if they still made it, you never would. No one is as good as John Barnes.

[philyhamann]

I criticise Benitez weekly in my new game of FM, its awesome.

[Lucky Pierre]

Philynegged.
