I have an interesting challenge on my hands thanks to the lovely blokes at Newcastle United.

After securing a couple of Premierships, an FA Cup, League Cup and CL and League Cup runner up medals, the board want me to have success across the board. This means they want EVERYTHING!

This will mean:

Premiership
FA Cup
Worthington Cup
Charity Shield
Champions League

That's 5 trophys in the space of 12 months.
I'm rising to the challenge. I'm gonna give it a shot or risk getting sacked.

So far we secured the Charity Shield with a 4-1 hammering of Arsenal. We cruised passed Litex to get in the CL proper. We then opened that with a 5-1 whooping of Bayern. We lost against Atalanta but lead the group on goal difference. Domestically, I'm unbeaten but lie 5th in the table.

Now, at the same time, I'm the England boss. to win everything this year, it's a case of qualifying for WC 2006.

We lead the group after comfortable wins over Slovenia and Lithuania.

I'll keep you posted on this challenge and whether I can do it.

what it means is that you have to be up there and competing for every trophy, not necessarily winning it.

so top 3ish in the league, semis in the cl, fa cup semis, etc as long as you win something.

If you use the "ARSE" command you can see your chairman's stats so you know roughly how tight he's gonna be. This is not cheating. SI were gonna put chairman's stats in but didn't want to risk libel action being taken against them.

Well, I resigned as Newcastle manager with good reason. We hit a dodgy patch and couldn't win a match for 2 games. Not much? The board and the players thought it was a disaster so I resigned. We couldnt do owt right on the pitch so I dropped 'em like a sack of spuds. Looks like I'm strictly in with international management.

What a stressy ****. I ****ing hate him.

He headbutts a player, gets sent off, I fine him 1 week for dismissal, I was then gonna fine him 2 weeks for violent behaviour, and the team go mad, and he ****s off going AWOL. I fined him 2 weeks for unprofessional behaviour, and he said it was unfair.

I think the promotion bid is collapsing for us. Why? All because of some stressy ****e. Infact, I will sell him seeing as when I took over I had 175m to spend which aint hard.

I'm gonna resign and just get on with the international scene, however, I want the England job to become available so I can **** off away from Argentina. :(

Actually, Bin Laden is very very intelligent. That's not some kind of joke either. He genuinely is clever.

But Bin Laden lives on. This French DMC will be dead when he returns. :)

Maybe immigration got on to him. As for Bin Laden, he's nowt but a voice on a tape now. Let's hope he's dead.

Just like USA's evidence on trying to authorise an attack. Everyone know the UK and USA's dossier was full of out of date, and edited ****. None of it is true.

UK and USA need another terorrist attack to bring them down to earth.

I would love to join a terrorist organisation, however, there numbers are not in the yellow pages which is kind of annoying.

Controversial as ever, Gazz.

If a live grenade in Heathrow doesn't give 'em the dumps, nowt will. The dossier was nothing more than propaganda. The UN clearly knows that. The UK might hold out until the UN gives a decision but the US just want the green light to settle a few scores with the moustached menace.

Menace my arse, he poses no threat any more. Bush is out to gain revenge on Saddam for trying to murder his old man.

He's an idiot.
