The Office Meets Football Manager
Over on Twitter, @NextGoalWinBlog, we recently posted up a thread of The Office (UK) crossover with Football Manager. Suprisingly, the Brent-isms 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!

Tactical Genius
Starting your 10th season in charge of a club still using the same 4-2-3-1 wide gegenpress tactic that secured a 10th place finish the past 3 seasons.
Time To Go
Transfer listing your 34 year old captain, and asking him to search for a club, so you can make way for the 17 year old wonderkid you signed from Fluminense.
Injuries
Your backup CDM will be out for 4 months with a broken leg.

The Real Quiz

The day at Wembley, the totally not-meaningless silverware, I guess you could say that’s a decent season… right?
