The Zero Point Challenge
In a fit of boredom recently, I've decided on a great way to enhance the Football Manager 2005 experience. I am still very much enjoying my game with Rochdale, where I'm about to retain my League One status for the second season, but it's got a bit dry. So in comes the Zero Point Challenge.
As the title suggests, the aim of the game is to obtain zero points over the season. This is not all there is to it, though. In full, the challenge goes thusly:
• Begin a game with any club of your choice in Football Manager 2005, and play one full season.
• Your team must obtain zero league points all season.
• Your team must lose every cup tie and friendly.
• Your team must score no goals in any game, even uncompetitive ones.
• You must avoid the sack.
I have started my games with everyone's least favourite team, the MK Dons.
This is the formation my team are playing.
These are my results thus far this season.
My right sided midfielder, goalkeeper Scott Bevan, is having issues adapting to his new role (note average rating).

This has absolutely nothing to do with FM2005, but I'm bored at work and am just reminiscing - how good was Italia '90? This is a rhetorical question. It was such a great tournament, by far the best international sporting event I have ever seen (only Sydney Olympics 2000 comes anywhere near).
Baggio, Schillaci (oh, where are you now, Toto ?), Maradona, Matthaus, Gascoigne, Milla, Higuita, Costa Rica beating Scotland.
Nostalgia ain't as good as it used to be.

Toto was last seen on the Italian version of I'm a Celebrity...
...and now wants to launch a TV chat show career.
I kid you not
