Hello! It must be winter as it is time for our annual visit to what has become a much trickier article to write in recent times. Managers are getting younger, one of these years we will have a manager not born in 1997. Anyway, let’s take a look where the current Premier League managers can be found in CM9798 and see just how small the list of players still playing is.

Hello there! Throughout January I will be looking back over 10 years of running this very blog. Last week we started with my ten favourite blog saves and this week we’ve moved on to my top 10 cult heroes.

A cult hero is somewhat of an unlikely hero, so you won’t see Ronaldo or Zidane on this list but more people who have given us some laughs and unlikely successes.

Let’s get down to business…

Hello! It must be winter as it is time for our annual visit to what has become a much trickier article to write in recent times. Managers are getting younger, one of these years we will have a manager not born in 1997. Anyway, let’s take a look where the current Premier League managers can be found in CM9798 and see just how small the list of players still playing is.

Also, Bluesky is taking off. I can be found on there under cm9798dave.bluesky.social – I still plan to post on X/Twitter (CM9798) too but I do fear one day I will wake up and it just won’t be there anymore…

Greetings, I am very happy to bring you the news many of you have been waiting for: CM9798 is once again available on iPad and iPhone!

Well hello there. I promise this is my final blog of the year. You might remember back in October in line with the 26th Anniversary celebrations I invited you all to vote, in Eurovision style, for your favourite CM9798 players. Well, the votes have been counted and today I can give you the results. To build suspense, it’s a top 10 countdown.

Hello! It’s that time of year where we take our annual journey through the current Premier League managers and where they can be found in CM9798. Some new faces, some very old faces, faces all the same. Who is where? We’ll also look at the ever dwindling list of players in CM9798 still lacing up their boots professionally today.

Good morning to you. CM9798 will turn 26 on Tuesday and as Sunday is more or less the signature day for my blogs over the last 9 years (let that resonate for a second) I thought I’d bring the celebrations forward a few days. Nobody has the energy to party on a Tuesday – that’s just fact. So how do we celebrate the big TWO SIX?

In all honesty, I am running on fumes recently. Sickness has blighted CM9798 Towers and I’ve got very little to give. My laptop hasn’t been open all week until now, as I type this, at 10pm on Saturday evening. So here’s what we’ve got:

Take our Champed or Not Champed quiz! Remember to share your score on X (Twitter if you prefer old money). It literally starts below, so good luck.

If you are new around here, you could always take the quiz from last year

Or the year before.

Furthermore, last year we came up with Top 25 CM9798 Players. This was just from the Blog Squad votes so now we want your help in compiling a new list. It’s Eurovision style voting, all you have to do is give your points out below and we’ll reveal the results next week. 12 points to your favourite! If you can’t be bothered to do all 11 boxes that’s fine, any duplicates I’ll take your highest answer only.

Don’t reflect too hard on 26 years of this great game, an awful lot has happened. Have a great week and I’ll be back hopefully soon.

Good hello to you. Slightly later than usual it’s our annual roundup of where the current Premier League managers can be found in CM9798. It gets less vintage every year but there are some new names in the frame…
