Our ode to the beautiful game continues ahead of the big day on Saturday. I mean, it’s not that big, it’s just the 29th anniversary. Anyway, one of the biggest influences on my spare time over the past 10 years is here to explain his love of the game. Over to you, Ross Bell.

Championship Manager 97/98 will always be the one that started it all.

There are certain games that never really leave you. You might forget the results of countless matches or the names of half the players you signed, but one familiar screenshot can transport you straight back to a different time.

For me, that means 1998, sitting in my parents’ conservatory, glued to a computer screen and convinced I’d discovered the secrets of football management.

The game was Championship Manager 97/98, and it was never just a game.

The run in is here, can we win the EPL after finishing 3rd last season? Lets find out together….. Well i already know but you can find out below.

If we are going to win the league we really can’t afford to slip up. Well we slipped up. Leeds now have a 6 point advantage.

Welcome along, It’s that time of your week again so Lets Go!

A thrilling start to this update as we pepper the Palace goal. We cannot find the way past Andy Marshall. Still can’t get over the image of a 38 year old Romario in a Palace shirt. Odd.

Welcome back to your weekly update of Footbally nonsense. Lets get straight into it.

We ended last week with Dave on fine goalscoring form. Thankfully, he has carried that over to this week as well. 2 more for the big man and Blackburn have no answer, off on a winning note.

Welcome back to my weekly round up of the life and times of some of the world’s most famous CM9798 bloggers. Where they transfer their writing skills to the football pitch.

We will start this week with the arrival of Newcastle to the arena. Dave is not one for sentiment. He gives them the business with the winning goal. I hope he celebrated!

Hello and welcome back. As promised, I am back. The year is 2022, and only a few months have passed since my last blog post……. well, it seems it’s been almost 3 full years since we left the Blog squad. They had just finished a pretty successful first EPL season. They finished 3rd overall and qualified for our first every European adventure.

Let’s get right back into it, shall we? Having finished strongly, we start the season looking to improve both the squad and the finishing position. We make hard work of Forest but overcome them in the end, thanks to TBS OG Zak.
