Poor Elon Musk would hate it if this poster appeared in every town and city. It comes with a QR code that leads people across the world to delete their accounts.

It’s time. Because who the f*ck would want to use social media with a built in child abuse tool?

NEW BLOG POST!

What if you could play a card game about football... but on PC? This is my retro review of SoccerCards - an addictive but obscure freeware game from 2003.

Any reposts appreciated.
Review: SoccerCards
Here we go again with another Retro Review on Fuller FM - and it's time for something a bit different. In the past, I've tended to focus strictly on football management games. Nowadays, however, I'm much happier to broaden my horizons and cover any football-related PC game that catches my eye. (This does not include action games where you control the players, so no FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer reviews. Sorry.) The game I'm going to discuss today is the reason why I've decided to relax the rules the little bit.

You don't get many fairytales in football now, but Macclesfield is a fairytale for so many reasons.

Really hope they see this through.

Congratulations to Liam Rosenior for securing a multi-million-pound payoff in October.

Yet another talented young manager that gets chewed up and spat out by a major club which doesn't have a clear long-term strategy.

Starting the new year by giving Championship Manager 2007 a go.

You think FM26 is a buggy mess? Look at this screenshot, and try to figure out why I'm having problems just with picking my team.

Here's to 2026. Can't be worse than last year, can it? 😅

With the year almost over, here are my Wordpress yearly stats.

Fuller FM has had 53.6k views (+11.6k on 2024) and 34.8k visitors (+6.8k on 2024).

However, December was by far my worst month of the year - probably because FM26 is rubbish, and also that I haven't written much about FM26 lately.

Watching AFCON. The commentator mentions an Egypt player named Yasser Ibrahim.

And immediately, I think about that newgen winger I had at Dagenham & Redbridge in the Conference Premier on FM13 a decade ago.

I've played too much Football Manager for too long.

Legitimately one of my five favourite Christmas songs ever.

RIP Chris Rea.

That's all well and good... but I wish SI would speak to customers more naturally and more honestly.

This reads like corporate garbage written in Chat-GPT.

Even with 528 nations qualifying for the World Cup, England still get the most boring draw imaginable.

Right. Here's the draw. Saved you three hours. drawsimulator.com/world-cup-20...

I bet Pep is gonna rush over to the SI forums after this game - fuming that the best goalkeeper in the world just conceded 4 goals from 0.69 xG against Fulham.

FM26 is now £19.99 in my local club's shop. telfordunitedshop.co.uk/product/foot...

I love how they've put it in the "Novelty" category. 😆

#FM26 news. Guess what's coming back?

1-0 down against 10 men. Who do we think we are, Manchester United?

Fed up of FM26? Here's my list of seven other football management games that can give you a realistic and up-to-date experience (at least to some extent).
Alternatives to Football Manager 26
For God’s sake, Sports Interactive… Football Manager 26 has been out for a few weeks, and… mmm, yeah. It’s still a mess, isn’t it? While many FMers are still wrestling…

It really blows my mind how much stuff has been removed - or hidden away very deep - from #FM26.

For example, you CAN'T view a player's career stats after they retire in-game and become a staff member - but you CAN view career stats for staff members who are already retired from playing.

Wow. Football. Wow.

NEW #FM26 BLOG POST!

Buggy. Confusing. Inconsistent. These are my thoughts on Football Manager 26 - and I have A LOT of thoughts.

Any reposts appreciated.
My thoughts on Football Manager 26
After the longest wait, Football Manager 26 is finally here... but is it any good? That's a question many people have already answered with an emphatic "no". FM26 came out on 4 November to unprecedentedly negative reviews on Steam, with a 27% approval rating as I write this. Even the professional gaming critics who consistently heap praise on FM have been much more divided this time around.

I'm sorry, guys, but the #FM26 match engine is the worst I've ever experienced.

There is absolutely no excuse for this defending.
