First of all my interview with ataf talking about the FM2010 demo…

I only asked him one question… Describe football manager 2010 demo without the use of the word UN-believable… He said UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Then he said… Its general gameplay is a certain improvement… The touchline shouts are sensational as they can change the game. Its a lot harder, but you can get the team to play exactly how you want them to play… The options are actually endless on the amount of things you can do… Player postions is now equipped with player roles… This is absolute genius as you have a 4-4-2 formation… But you want an italian style Trequestra whos actually playing up front but plays off the striker with the new roles feature you will just set one of the strikers as a striker and the other as Trequestra. There are almost 4 roles for each position.

The little things which are different aswell as you can call a press conference when you sign somebody, The general look is slick, The communicating with backroom staff is on another level. The advice you get now is brilliant… Definately the most improved thing… The amount of detail is brilliant. The process of transfers is pretty similar but if it aint broke dont fix it and the transfers have always been good… Navigation is different but once you get used to its good… The gameplay is smooth and quick but has only played a couple of games so dont know if there is kinks yet…Its definately more realistic and already its a lot better as its a new approach by FM and its worked from the demo!

Then he lost to man city and took everything back and said its a rubbish game and started a new career with real madrid

Now FNF was an absolute horrendus affair. The teams being

Ataf, Irfan. Mohsin. Sadif. Tariq

vs

Amer, Amjad, Ibrahim, Khawer, Majid

On paper we had the stronger side now… Yet the final result was an absolute battering which i was on the receiving end of… We started of well and were winning by a few goals… for the first 5-10 minutes maximum then they took complete control of possesion and just pummelled us… we scored a few goals on counter attacks and kept it within touching distance just about… then I first fell injured… Then ataf went down and Sadif’s fitness went aswell and it was pretty much 2 against 5 and thats when the battering occured… Now below im going to do a GOAL.COM-esque player ratings out of 10

Ataf – 4 Started off well… Then injury hit (cramp) and was a liability out of the nets but because of the fitness of the rest of the team had to go out for a while then when in nets made a few decent saves which maybe pushed his rating up…

Irfan – 6 Did well and was one of the better performers… Scored some good solo effort and then ended up having too much to do… Was trying to do too much at times but you cant blame the effort was just on a team which didnt really perform…

Mohsin – 6 Similar performance to irfan… scored a few good goals and did run around the pitch a lot… Was frustrated by the team performance and again had to shoulder most of the attacking responsibilities when maybe better as a box to box player…

Sadif – 5 Struggled with his fitness throughout the game but showed class is still there… Fitness is just the key for him. Did struggle today and had a disappointing game by the standards he sets for himself.

Tariq – 1 WAS AWFUL!!!! Got an injury in his foot… and his foot then turned into a complete shooda and it ruined everything… Even before though was clearly just coming back into fitness and needs to build straight from the beginning… Things can only get better from this performance

Amer – 8 Steady performance from Amer… Then excelled at the end… Paced himself well and did the simple things well. Like his full team… was very good at keeping the ball.

Amjad – 8 Was lively and good on the ball. Showed a lot of composure but was guilty of missing chances. Good passing and was good in defence.

Ibrahim – 9 A talent. Started off shy and timid but grew in the match and showed real talent and bundles of energy… Man of the match. He is the next Gabriel Obertan

Khawer – 8 Good performance by khawer. Full of energy and was up and down most game. Started off struggling with finishing… but that only lasted a little while and was a threat most times he got the ball. Didnt give up until the end.

Majid – 8 Very tidy performance from majid. Probably the best passer on the pitch but finished was wayward. Set up chances for people non stop through out the game and also carried on through out the match giving hundred percent until the end.

Football Manager 2010 demo was released yesterday. For any people who are intrested in downloading it and now having a life for the rest of the year click here My brother Ataf is going to be testing it out whilst i slave away at doing uni work… So later on tonight i will probably write a blog about his first experince of it just to see if it is still getting better and more realisitic with every release. With football manager 2009 i had a bad run and it was so realistic i thought the press was actually outside my house calling for my resignation…

Also tonight is the dramatic, unexpected, unimaginable and another un word i dont even know return of FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. This is going to be my first form of excerise since my illness and i fear for what it has done to me. I have never been no “Michael Essien” but now with the loss of weight i should be at a all time new low for me personally. Although i am thinking in a positive light cause things can only get better health wise with a bit of excerise.
