Our box of Football Manager 2009 arrives...

Would you look at that, it's just beautiful isn't it? But if you can look past Production Editor Mark Brown's double-jointed thumb, you'll see that we've just this morning received the ten copies of the spanking new Football Manager 2009. We've played the game, (our own review copy, before the authorities start asking), and although we're clearly rubbish (played four, lost four as QPR manager), the game itself is awesome, bringing back memories of long nights and missed morning Uni lectures.

Please note, Mark Brown's thumb is not up for grabs...

Ever...

We stumbled upon this advert from 1998, and it was like watching it for the first time all over again. To be frank, it's mint.
