If the nearest thing I know to crack cocaine - Football Manager - is to believed, Andres D’Alessandro - Portsmouth’s latest signing - is going to be remarkably, sensationally good in the Premiership.

Although our report’s revelation that he’s known as El cabezón (”The big head”) does ring a few alarm bells.

I’ll be watching with interest; I’m sure I read once that Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho demands Football Manager-style statistical reports and ratings before every match. I live in hope that, one day, being good at the game will be good enough to land you a top Premiership club. It would, let’s face it, be hard to do a worse job than Mick McCarthey, after all.

very true and the fact that Mick McCarthey may not be the first manager from the north east to lose his job this season i pretty remarkable, i remember however playing First Divison manager n my Atari St 500 and Paul Merson scoring more goals for me when he was injured rather than fully fit.
