Pah, kids......I remember the original Football Manager on the ZX Spectrum, complete with stickmen action replays of the goals.  I lived round the corner from Kevin Toms who wrote it.

No,striker was the best , where you pressed their heads to kick the ball- brilliant!

Zimbabwe says public account stood at $217 last week

Zimbabwe's Finance Minister Tendai Biti has said that the country only had $217 (£138) left in its public account last week after paying civil servants.

However, he said that the following day some $30m of revenue had been paid in.

Mr Biti told the BBC he made the revelation in order to emphasise that the government was unable to finance elections, not that it was insolvent.

Polls are due this year, with President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF fighting Mr Biti's Movement for Democratic Change.

Mr Biti has previously complained that diamond mining companies have not been paying revenues to the government.

The power-sharing government set up in 2009 ended years of hyperinflation by using the US dollar, but the economy remains fragile

They got 30m paid in the next day though. I'd imagine Lerner will announce a similar transfer budget tomorrow, to cover the period 1st Feb-19th May

Now that was a game! I remember Eric Gates as the costliest buy in the transfer market at the start.

Did you really live round the corner from him?

You have to hand it to Beckhams PR team, they know when to get maximum exposure.

I have the uncomfortable feeling that our signings this window aren't to keep us up, but to prepare for our tenure in the Championship.

I was going to post something similar; only I was going to wait until nearer the deadline if the situation had stayed the same or if anyone of similar ilk had been signed.

Sadly, I think any incoming players are not for survival purposes but more a contingency for life in the championship.  Sorry for being a defeatist.

Dunno why we're laughing. George Osborne said the other day that Britain is £2.3 trillion overdrawn

That's the MON we all know, I almost thought he'd been replaced by imposter.

Norwich bid for Hooper rejected. Them and Stoke or QPR could be in for Bent later.
