16th January 2007

Got back into a bad habit recently, filling my weekday evenings with non-productive activity. Been playing Championship Manager, but not the new one, I’ve been playing the 01/02 version- arguably the best. Just finished my second season in charge of Leeds, in my first season I only finished 6th but won the UEFA Cup, but after strengthening my squad in the summer I was expected to do much better. I ended up finished 3rd, 1 point behind 2nd place, but it was a disappointing end to the season really- I lost in both the UEFA and FA Cup finals.

Seeing as I’m into list and stats at the moment, I thought I’d let you know my squad as it is at the moment.
