Yes or for a few seconds you get confused in your head as to why Essien is back playing for Chelsea when you sold him to Barcelona in the game two seasons ago.

That actually happened to me once, I was watching Sky Sports News and they were talking about some player (can't remember who), who I'd bought for my United team a couple of weeks before. They said "(player) will be joining his England teammates after scoring for Chelsea (or some club like that) this weekend".

I was like "Eh?! No he's not!"...*long pause*...*tumbleweed*..."OH!" *vacant expression*.

When you sit down to play your newly arrived FM08 & zone out until you are interupted by the postman delivering your newly arrived FM09.
Yeah, exactly

Also you were reluctant to date with your girl friend just because that would delay your winning of the EPL title for a couple of hours

When you heard a still relatively unknown transfer target of big clubs, you look for him in the game or db and complaining why his attributes are so low then start a thread in the data forum
