2010, SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND 'CM'

With a New Year come New Resolutions.

Most people choose to give up or do without a vice, smoking, drinking, kebabs, spending money wastefully on Robbie Fowler season tickets to North Queensland Fury.

We at TBT are making a resolution of our own. To reconnect with an old friend. This particular old friend proves to be less than popular with friends and family, some believe this old friend is a downright negative influence. Our old friend is Championship Manager. If you are unsure what exactly we're on about, this is where it all started.

Championship Manager (and it's parallel world cousin, Football Manager) is Football Tragic Crack. Football fans get to try their hand at running their chosen Football club. Every meaningless statistic, every shred and slither of information becomes useful in the world of Championship Manager. Yes, rather than hurling abuse at the referee on match day, you hurl abuse at awesome coloured text on a screen and at triumphant multicoloured dots jumping around on a tiny green pitch.

2010 will see the mighty Morecambe Shrimps once again under familiar management - look out Football League Two. CM may not be for everone, but for those other people there's Chicken-Football
