Good thing you don't work in the...oh, wait.

How can you be such a sissy?

seamus

Why don't you edit it then. Isn't that what you're here for poof?

I must remember to stop using cynicism when there are so many Yankees use the board now

It's not the cynicism, it's that i-ron-ee stuff. We're fine with cynicism, especially here on this island.

iajafer

That's the one!

And the sarcasm. Everyone at my work has to do a double take half the time because they seem incapable of understanding a sarcastic comment when I make it. Which I do a lot.

I just realised I left out my initial comment.

I hope that FM2005 doesn't have the player pictures, because the kids with "I am good" stamped on their foreheads would be even more obvious than they are now.

Is your office in New Jersey? And if so, it must be more southern. Sarcasm is a key element of North (New) Jersey life.

Either that or they're too embittered being in the shadow of NY and can no longer cope with sarcasm. After all, if one more person offers up the afterlife joke to me I may go on a murderous rampage.

For those that don't know it:
Why are New Yorker's so afraid of the death?

Because the light at the end of the tunnel is New Jersey.

This is one of the inherent flaws of CM. The value is based on their ability or, in the case of youngsters, their potential abilty. It would be much better (though probably more complex to program) if it was based on reputation.

For instance, if you have a crap striker who gets a few lucky goals in a few games, you'd like his value to increase so you could cash in. But CM will look at his ability, and still give you a low value based on that.

I think there is a limited affect of reputation, but not enough IMO.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I agree totally.

In the zealot online game, I have Fat Scouser at the club, playing pretty good but nothing special, and is worth a heck of a lot of money.
But then one of his strike partners, Bloke With Gay Sounding Name, he bangs them in left, right and centre and is worth about a tenth of what Fat Scouser is worth, despite having a longer contract and only being a couple of years older. He's been top scorer and Player of the Year in each of my three seasons at the club.
