leighdegree Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thats Right Miles and all the other dudes at FM will be pleased to know that Arsenal's newest signing enjoys playing football manager. He admits spending hours playing Football Manager on his PC, acting out his dreams of Premier League success. In his book 555 Questions And Answers On Women, Money, Politics, Football, he said: “Playing Football Manager I would take on a team from the English lower division and promote it to the Premier League, where I would win the cups and titles.” entire artical here http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/article2206464.ece very funny and interesting read.

Ozzy38 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Pro Evo (at least before it swapped ideals withf FIFA) and FM is something many players (and supposedly managers looking for talent) play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Girondins Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I was most impressed with his English, far better than most. Shame FM disses his skills though. I've signed him a few times on the cheap and he's been universally P.A.R.P. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree on the bit about him helping win cups and titles though, hopefully his FM success will translate into real-life ones. I must disagree on the women driving bit though, that is just a tad sexist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamL Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I thought statistics showed women were safer drivers than men. Don't they? Pretty much. Women have more insurance claims, but they tend to be for superficial damage - scratches, reversing into walls and the like. Men have fewe claims, but are more likely to really mangle the car. Yes. The statistics do back up the stereotypes! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters76 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Well, women crash less than men, but men are on arevage 5 times more on the road during a year than women. It's like saying there are more car crashes in China than on Iceland, well thats a no brainer when you look at population. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

santy001 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Poor lad, probably thinks arsenal are as good irl as they are on FM lol. And footballers only tend to train for a few hours a day, so they have most days free to themselves to do as they please, its why quite a few end up with gambling addictions etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he ever did post, I'd read his words with the "Compare the Meerkat.com" voice put along to them in my head. Also, he'd probably say something like "Am very disappointed! Arsenal no good in real life! Where is Walcott! Not good! And what is woman doing here on forum?!" By the way, no offence intended to anyone from Russia or the Ukraine for the above cartoon stereotype I just displayed. It's the Meerkat's fault.
