Hello friends and admirers of Wayne Biggins! We are back for another week celebrating the most underrated gem of CM9798. This time he’s back in Europe and has decided that Belgium is the place to be, but who will pick him up:

Hello weary readers! Welcome back to the next part of our journey with Wayne McBiggins. This time out Wayne has returned to Scotland. That said, having had a torrid time at Celtic previously, he has decided to cross the divide and sign for rivals Rangers.
It doesn’t take Wayne anytime to find his shooting boots in Scotland. And by Scotland, I mean in the Champions League.

Hello! Welcome back to the next chapter in the travels of Bignacious B, Waynao Bigginsao, Big B. Wayne suitably demolished the Premier League, and it probably would have been more spectacular were it not for a month out injured and a million bans.
So, we find ourselves in sunny Portugal, and what better home for Mr Biggins than Porto.

Today, Andrew is back to bring you the first part in a tale of bigglical proportions. Can you win trophies with an ancient old man of Division Three quality playing up front? Is Wayne Biggins the messiah?
Hello there! Welcome back to the home of CM9798, and thanks to Dave for letting me write some more bizarre clap trap to keep us all entertained. So, what is the premise? Well, have you ever heard of Wayne Biggins? During the Blog Squad’s time (well spent time) playing our season of ‘Football League Trophy Manager’, Rob Tait had the joy of finding out he is an absolute underrated gem in CM9798, even at the grand old age of 35.
Ah yes, the premise! So, old Wayne had a rather barren 3 months playing for Lou Macari’s Celtic, however, would you believe it, he’s getting another chance to go on his travels.
We’ll take Wayne to each of the top divisions on offer in CM9798 where we will look to build a team of Galactico’s, in the hope Wayne can lead them to glory.
Part 1: Manchester United & The English Premier League
We needed a hole in the ground to call home. And that home was Manchester United.

So here we are, the final run in of this absolute shocking idea that should never have seen the light of day. Who to blame? Dave Black of course for allowing me to blog it. We’ll cover April/May due to the distinct lack of action in May.
The FA Cup final is now decided; Suncastle will face off with Everpool.

Welcome back to Daft C***** ‘R’ Us here at cm9798.co.uk! Another week and that means more madness in the house of scarves. Want to catch up on last week? No, no you don’t. Let’s get on with it then.
We open with a visit to Europe, and a plucky A City United pull of an away steal in the first leg of their CL Quarter Final.

Roll up, roll up! It’s February and we’re almost at the close of the inaugural season of the half and half Premier League. Will it be the final season? Absolutely! I’d link to last weeks post so you can catch up, but it’s almost 10pm on a Sunday as I write this, and I can’t be f*****. Please accept my most humble apologies.
Everybody’s favourites have an absolute mare, but Norpswich are on the up.

Hello and welcome to another week of what the f*** has this man done to CM9798. Yes, I don’t know how I live with myself. But live on we do. Last week, the lack of other goal scorers meant Fowler’s ban was further extended. Will Everpool cope? If you missed last week, you can catch up, here.
We open with the League Cup, and in a three-way derby, Suncastle come unstuck to their less illustrious neighbours, Boro.
Someone is inevitably splashing the half and half cash, and in this instance, it’s the Crystal Dons.

Welcome back again to the Half and Half Premier League! Last week, Robbie Fowler’s match ban was extended to eight games with an additional five earned at the close of the month. If you want to be reminded why, you can do so here.
“(Christmas), and the scarves coming out! (Christmas), half and half’s all about!” Yes, it’s December and we must plough on through this field of s**** to the end of the season to reap what we have sewn. Derbyham Foresty, in no danger of financial trouble, sell their top scorer:
