YouTube video by The FM Show - A Football Manager Podcast The BIG Football Manager Quiz of the Year!

A new year's treat for y'all: the FM Show and WFM Show cross over for a Big Fat Football Manager Quiz of the Year (and the WFM crew more than holds our own 😉)

Developing a recent interest in those oddly parasocial 'footballers arriving at the training ground' videos, but specifically only to check which of them actually use a turn signal and which do not. Shoutout to Joško Gvardiol and Rúben Dias, conscientious turn-signalers that you are.

NWSL said it would fight for Trinity Rodman. It’s only fighting with itself One way or the other, the league will set a precedent with Rodman. The NWSL has the power to choose what that looks like.

As things stand now, the NWSL isn’t fighting for Trinity Rodman. It’s fighting against her, and shadowboxing with its own potential in the process.

That being said - I do end up watching games with Arsenal supporters more often than not as they're the most active supporters club around here, so plenty of respect there! Brighton's come a long way from the Goldstone, very cool that you've seen a part of that history. 😄

Hey Mike! I've followed my local club in the states for as long as it's existed (spoilers: not very long 😆), but I only started following the Premier League a few years ago. I wanted a club that was small but ambitious, well-run, inclusive - hence Brighton. And I adore the city and its vibes.

And are vibes the thing that matter most? Probably not to most players. But do those little touches humanize your squad and build your investment in their story? Absolutely.

FM 26 wants to be streamlined and accessible but sacrifices personality to get there. Take the new dressing room - you get a slick interface that mirrors other menus in the game, but lose the immersive vibe of a crowd of players arranged around you while you wave your arms and throw a water bottle.

Initial FM 26 thoughts: hype, panic, being dizzyingly overwhelmed by the new AI and understanding immediately why we were warned that there'd be a learning curve for returning players.
