In an age where every (real-life) vacant manager’s position is applied for by at least a few Football Manager players, it’s safe to say that the game can completely take over some people’s lives.

Han Solo hath spoken. Harrison Ford has assured us the Star Wars: The Force Awakens is phenomenal.

The Jurgen Klopp era may still be in it’s very early infancy, but Liverpool fans are clearly besotted with their new manager. A combination of the German’s natural authority, magnetic charisma, and also what came before, have elevated the ‘Normal One’ to levels of cult status already. Whereas Brendan Rodgers was prone to self-promotion and blame-shifting, there […]
