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.

Ande thought this on Jan 31 06 at 2:01 pmvery 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.
