Peep Show Meets Football Manager

Over on Twitter, @NextGoalWinBlog, we recently posted up a thread of Peep Show moments in a Football Manager context. Surprisingly, Mark and Jez’s antics work pretty well in the context of the management sim game, and so we have decided to to make a post of some of the best tweets from our recent thread.

Is it slightly self-glorifying to write a blog post about a recent Twitter thread we posted? Yes, probably.

Am I short on time and ideas for a post this week? Yes, definitely.

Feel free to head on over to Twitter to see the thread in full.

Enjoy!

What Time Is It?

When you’ve been playing the game for 12 straight hours and you’ve got another post-match press conference for a League Cup 3rd round match.

Ancient Technology

Trying to load up the game with a large player database on your old laptop, which sounds like it is either going to take-off or burst into flames with the noises it is making.

Star Signing My Arse

Spunking your entire transfer and wage budgets on a ‘star’ striker who hasn’t scored a goal in 10+ games.

In The Money

Selling off your non-league clubs’ star-player and thinking everything is going to be totally great forever.

Giving Instructions

You are 1-0 down, you’ve had 75% possession and there is 10 minutes left to go. You’ve made all 3 subs, tried a different formation and can only resort to 1 more thing… ” Get Creative! Get Creative! Get Creative!”.

Your striker is so not rainbow rhythms.
