So, his intimate knowledge of your ass leads to the simple conclusion that you are one of the "Why don't I just photocopy my ass this christmas" school.

Mid season update:

After a nothing short of disasterous start to the season Blackpool finally started to show glimpses of better things to come. It took 7 games, 6 of which defeats, to register the first win an emphatic 5-0 trouncing of Bury. This did indeed prove to be a turning point, Blackpool at first stuttered up the table and towards Christmas put an impressive run of victories together which left us flirting with 2nd spot in the league! I turned down a couple of job offers that I thought wouldn't test me as the clubs were in the same bracket as Blackpool.

Then one cold February morning an iron bar came through my door and there stood a couple of heavies - Millwall had called, I had no choice really.

So from 3rd in League 2 with a heatlhly young squad, I find myself 12th in League 1 with a massive job of rebuilding Millwall, they only have a squad of 15!

With a capacity of a touch under 20000, this was the kind of sleeping giant I was looking for as my next challenge. The board have given me 3 mil to spend on players, so lets see what we can do.

First task is to get the dugouts reinforced and I have ordered my chainmail suit!!

Here goes.......

Can't beat a good bit of stereotyping.

I think they have fully justified their reputation!

If you look in FM at club information for Millwall, the reputation is not Local, Regional or National but 'ard!!

Millwall are also in the Final of the LDV suck arse Cup.

Obviously, if I win the cup will NOT suck arse.

Obviously, if I lose the cup can go and burn in hell!

Thinking about it all cups that don't give you a passage to Europe indeed suck arse!

So, in conclusion, cups DO suck arse regardless of whether you win or not!

OK, OK, enough. I have put up with this for too long.

Not all Cups Suck Arse.

Can you imagine what those Exeter fans would have said if their manager had not put out his strongest team against Utd in the FA Cup. I cannot hear them saying " Clever our manager saving the team for the important league game at the weekend". I think not.

People go on and on about making the game realistic. Well realistically managers of small clubs see the cups as extremely important as the people who pay their wages insist that they see it that way.

And Bah to those who say otherwise.

I'm with Church.

There are probably just as many people here who like the cups as don't.

That's as may be, but they don't matter as much as me :cool:
