    I mostly found it funny...ended up finishing 9th in my first Prem season (tied for eighth on points, but understandably missed out on GD), which was a good deal better than I had anticipated, given that my defense was appalling. But when my team of teenagers failed, they really failed; I surrendered 81 goals, worse than any other non-relegated team.

    Pentagon Challenge is making me go slightly mad, but it's great fun. Started at University of Pretoria in the South African second division and got nowhere. Quit that job and got a new one at Capellen in the Belgian third division. The rules in this league are pretty strange.

    How do you see if someone is injury prone before you sign them? And if it's too late, is there any way to stop them getting crippled every time they mishit a pass?

    Joe what team are you? Got one with Deinze in 3 division A, hoping to get far, or it may just be another Spanish disaster!

    Yeah, and you're right, strange league.

    Wait, I can't find them. Third Division A, right?

    Yeah. Ah it's spelt "Cappellen" and sometimes "Kapellen". Weird.

    Deinze are bottom of the second division on mine.

    Oh, haha, I haven't got the greatest squad at my disposal! Try getting Fabio Tonini, great little player for me.

    Juts found them and signed a player called Cephas Chimedza from you, looks decent, and is better than anything I've got.

    Yeah he's a good player. His versatility really helps with the size of the squad and the fact that you can only name 4 subs.

    He is very good, just scored a hat rick in the cup. Things are going well, unbeaten in the last 6 and 2nd and Capellen are top of their league.

    After four frustrating seasons in obscure divisions, I have learnt of the merits of unattractive football. Just changing to a rigid formation and direct passing has totally turned my fortunes around.

    Shame on you, Joe. I'd have hoped you'd be one of the type to carry beautiful football from the deepest darkest regions of the world all the way to the top.

    The young, naive optimist you once knew is no more. It's realism and ruthless efficiency from here on out.

    But without total football, how can you get ridiculous seasons like this:

    Why not do both? You can see from my screenshot I've got adobe, word and two powerpoints open, that's how you do coursework/FM ;)
