6/10, I am a product of my age, a lot of those games came out before I was old enough to play them.

Yeah I got 7, failed tracksuit manager, Manchester united whatever, and went for Sensi instead of Sensi WORLD, which was a terrible mistake.

Guessed almost every-one and got 4/10. "You should have skived off school more often and wasted your life playing Cannon Fodder and Sensible Soccer." I'm not sure Guardian, I'm not sure...

That must be his weapon, a la Jaws or Odd Job's hat. fake edit: i read this as Bourne Supremacy as Bond derp. Still he's even more comically villainous than all of Bond's enemies over the years.

Reminds me of a fun one from the mid 90's called "On The Ball". Some mad German management game where the shady dealings were half the fun. I miss management games where you could build up the stadium and see physical representations of it. I know it's utterly unrealistic but it was always fun. I reckon there would be alot of scope in a slightly silly, Theme Park/Hospital style football chairman game

That game was so far ahead of its time, whole loving side game of building the complex around your stadium, setting up stalls and setting prices on your scarves and poo poo, trying to bung opposition managers, upgrading your stadium stand by stand, allocating your sponsors boards. 7 year old me loved that poo poo.

Honestly, thinking back on Myspace, being about 13-16 myself when it was popular that is a pretty non-embarrassing Myspace. I never had a profile myself, but a lot of people did and it was kind of that era where people didn't understand social media/how easily stuff could be viewed. Don't get me wrong as a professional athlete I would have the tamest of pages, but it's not all that bad. I remember when they found Andrew Bynum's (basketball player) myspace and ESPN was just making fun of him for it on air. He was about 16 at the time too.

I can confidently say that at age 16 I had a better grasp of the English language than Andy Carroll (hey, maybe he's improved!), and I'm not a native speaker - I started learning English when I was 13. Is he just an imbecile or is that page a credible reflection of the average British sixteen-year-old's writing skills? Because

It's the language of a teenager who doesn't need to focus on their grammar or spelling to get their message across. Not every teenager is going to write like that, but plenty do. I'm sure his peers didn't care and that would hold true in any country. In the end, he's a professional footballer.

He was also likely destined to be a professional footballer from the time he was about 11 and didnt give a gently caress whatsoever at school

Neither did I, tbh, and sadly I didn't become a professional athlete earning thousands of British pounds per week, so I guess Big Andy has done way better than me and I should just shut up. But still, this page freaks me outl. Eh, I should know better, I've taught quite a bit at high school level (not English though), and generally the local kids also suck at their supposed native language. They don't suck quite as hard as Tha-Big-AC though.

He doesn't suck at the written language if he is able to convey meaning through his words, he uses slang and writes in a non standard way is all, but his hair is definitely stupid and he's slow as poo poo.

I think he actually wrote pretty well for a teenage footballer. He's even a bit endearing, if I might say that.
