ImpossiblyDaft

Frying Pan -> Fire -> Heart of the Sun ?

Says it comes with a usb connector, so it'll be sticking a little antenna in a usb slot and it'll do the bluetooth stuff over that I'd imagine. Also here http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150546 with free postage.

I've got a G1 and the only drawback really is the battery life not being all that great - the browser works really well, the blend of touch-screen and scroll wheel is handy, plus the keyboard comes in handy for entering addresses and talking crap on messageboards, and its perfectly capable of general use; I tend to spend most of my time on the train in the morning browsing the internet on it. Oh, and I have Doom on it. The back-to-basics features are nice as it can do all the flash email stuff with gmail accounts, and there aren't any problems with the basic calling people up and texting side of things either. Camera is decent but not amazing quality, and all the fancy stuff like Wifi and GPS generally works. Its less gimmicky than the iPhone, I'd say, but all the important features are brilliant.

Gregory and now O'Leary? Comic genius! Christ... I remember hearing these names banded about last summer (and in the case of Gregory begging for it like a 2 dollar whore), and that was a level below. Ended up being beaten soundly to it by a man whose management career was throwing someone up for a corner and being less shit than we were. Which was a brilliant decision.

Dunno where all the positive feelings suddenly came from in here, but to me this reads more like Ashley putting the pressure back onto Shearer - now he's said that Shearer is who they want, its Shearer who looks bad if he turns it down due to some ridiculous conditions.

That's thrown off by the fact they don't care about it only vainly battling for 4th though; villa and everton are certainly in the category of the likes of shakhtar, though not miles ahead like Sky would have everyone believe

Was cracking for Plymouth, not seen QPR enough to comment on whether he's still got it though

Nugent?

Fryatt is a touch overrated - good player but Cox is better. In terms of Championship goalscorers though, the obvious one is Michael Chopra, great player at this level. Delph is overrated, if he played for any other side in League One he wouldn't get the plaudits he does. Good young player, nothing special. Is Parry still much good? Thought he was rather impressive for Cardiff the other season but not seen them this season.

From his posts it looks like he is a Leicester City supporter. Yup. An icon all for me? How touching I guess trying to avoid being all gobby about it just made everything remarkably cryptic, then?

Bet we get you midweek

You've never heard of Morgan? One of the bigger names in League One, bit-part Wales international. Good player.

Disagree - didn't see anything of him at Reading, but for Swindon he's been a cut above League One. He'd be a good player in the Championship, if a little short of the likes of Chopra - if he goes to a decent club he'll be a 15 goal a season striker in this league at least.

Thats a ridiculously sized If when you think that the average Championship starting XI in this league is on less, combined.

The last two Sunderland relegations combined, they scored less points than you did this season? Is that the type of fact you're after? Alternatively - man the fuck up.

£1m? They've already turned down ~£2m bids from Leicester and Celtic and are after £2.5-£3m. He's a good player - quick, accurate and with good movement - and certainly will be able to move up to the championship, but even in League One, proven young goalscorers have a premium attached.

Ask Leicester Simple answer - only if you make it bad. Same as League One, even (though there you get teams that divide into playing teams and clogging teams more neatly). A large part of what players in the Championship are missing is that they're either more one-dimensional or that they're lacking consistency; a large number of sides are prepared for this and are well organised so that you wouldn't notice and the quality of football is generally good. The ones that aren't are directionless shiteheaps like Charlton this season and us the one before. As long as you don't act like Leeds, and the big if of Ashley not making more huge fuckups, it would be a fun season. Just expect to see lots of generic bowl stadiums, they seem to still be in fashion for some reason.

Is it calendar year based, I thought it was based on seasons?

A lot of teams in the championship do play good stuff (or at least try to), the worst by a mile were Stoke and they stayed up. So you're looking at West Brom, Cardiff, Swansea, Ipswich, Bristol City, all the promoted sides, who all try and play and teams like Derby, Preston etc aren't bad either. The odd game will be a bit dodgy, but its hardly like some nightmarish land where everyone is a clone of Allardyce and Pulis. And as for signing players - the exciting thing is they may actually treat it like it matters, not the names.

How do I get money for planning what I'm going to do on next season's Football Manager game?

Bristol City is a great away trip, as Peterborough is meant to be when their police don't act up (wouldn't know myself, couldn't get tickets) The key thing is to not Leeds it, and expect to get by on reputation alone.

Mattock is a decent player, pretty strong technically and knows when to get forward - but he's nowhere near the finished product, and his defensive positioning can sometimes be suspect (just watch the penalty he conceeded against Hereford). He's got bags of potential, but is no more than an average championship player at this point, and spending the £3m+ it would take to sign him would be a big gamble on youth when there is a lot of more ready-made talent in this league for that money. Our best defender by a mile is Tunchev, but he did his cruciate against Palace in the cup.

Having done the same thing a tier lower, I'd have to say at any level its what you make of it - if you go in thinking you're too big, you'll hate it, if you go in looking forward to new places and such, you'll enjoy it for a season at least. Few teams play the turgid football that Stoke did.

Yeah, there are a few players who have every chance to come good; Harper and Krul will both be top keepers, Taylor if he stays, Lovenkrands, Carroll...

Marlon is a monstahhhhh!!!!! He's no Marlon King... cryptic injokes ahoy.
