PES 12 Review - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Visually stunning and superbly realistic, Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 is a welcome upgrade and
like last year, PES is finally moving in the right direction again to be the best football playing
experience around.
No discussion of PES 12 can even start before it's compared to FIFA 12 as a benchmark, similar
to how Championship Manager keeps being held up to the light to be compared against Football
Manager.
September 1996 marked the arrival of the man who changed English football forever, all the
science and technology that surrounds every club these days is 100% down to Wenger's original ideas
and methods.
Fergie may have more silverware.... but he has not implemented and introduced methods which the
entire league have picked up and copied.
The only real-life achievements ______ Manager games are typically good for are losing gainful
employment and romantic relationships and obtaining Cheeto stains and an odor vaguely 'couch'.
Outside of that, it's pretty much locking one's self inside a world of delusional power and
travel-less travel to small countries furiously searching out the next big thing.
Ordinarily, I avoid the superficial, Sky induced hype of Deadline Day in the same manner that
I'd give a live railway line a wide berth. The gurning, buckteeth boys leering swearily behind Sky
reporters (shouldn't you unruly yoots be looting JD Sports or something?), the strains of Jim White
unloading his cargo as Jimmy McJourneyman completes his lucrative loan move to Hamilton
Academicals.

I obviously still can't talk about the hearing into our alleged contract irregularities.
Odds are not even someone who's logged over 1,000 hours on "Championship Manager," owns a different
soccer shirt for every day of the month, or rearranges their schedule around live game action from
around the globe -- aka a genuine soccer nerd -- raised an eyebrow when then-West Bromwich Albion
manager Roberto di Matteo signed Peter Odemwingie in August from Lokomotiv Moscow for a little

Here lies Part 3 of my Football Manager series: Looking back at the time(s) when the
game took over my life. Read Part 1 and Part 2 first.
It felt good I must say. Usually with any new Football Manager game I would have the
tendency to first dip my toe, picking, perhaps, a high end Championship side to build my knowledge
of the game.
Part Two of my 'How Football Manager Ruined my life series...here is part
one
Eventually, my time at HSV drew to a close. It was after my January modules in the
second year of college, with results of B,E,E, that I realised that I needed to stop. I had got
lazy; Football Manager at this point had become not only an addition, but also a
distraction.
Since leaving university, or as I like to call it the infinitely drunk and occasionally
academic bubble – I have failed to get a job that uses my degree, I have gained one and a half

again.
