The game kicked off at around 1921, within 5 minutes Patrick van Aanholt went down. One of the physios over (the one who's name I always forget) to find out if he's ok. "Just a knock, he should be alright after 5 minutes." the physio inferred. "Billy (Jones)! get warm, you're going on." I...

In the afternoon I went to view several apartments, they needed to be in the South Shields area because a cruise ship embarked in Newcastle and I know some of the crew on there so it would be nice to see them. I also wanted a nice view. I found the one I wanted, and the greatest part was I had...

The training facilities, AKA Academy of Light was a 5 minute drive, as I pulled up I thought it would be a good idea for them to arrive at the Stadium of Light everyday they train and jog to the Academy of Light - it's about 2.5 miles - I spoke to the fitness staff and head physio about this...

Don't worry, my first FM15 story is with Newcastle.

I meet Mauricio down at pitchside, it's not a hard stadium to navigate. Mauricio can speak English, Spanish & French all fluently. I've heard he can be a bit of a hot-head with the media, so it's best off not to let him handle any post-match interviews. We had a brief conversation and I asked...

Checking my Casio watch - 8:59.54 and the automatic sliding doors open as a man in pinstripe suit walks in, he spots me but walks straight past. He doesn't even acknowledge the receptionist. Ellis walks in just as the doors are about to close. "Chris, my son! How are you?" he still had the...

I got my wake-up call at 0730, hopped in the rented Vauxhall Astra and set off at around 0825, upon arrival I was greeted by a security guard on a gate, he let me straight through. I didn't even have to stop the car. We both nodded showing out understanding for each other. When I walked through...

I was announced as the manager of Sunderland. The first thing which came to any football fans mind was most likely "Who on earth is Chris Briddon?" I often asked myself this question too, who really am I? I'm about to find out who I really am when I get my teeth gritted right into this. The...

Since both Tyneside and Steel City both had 2 votes a piece I have chosen to take Sunderland & Newcastle as I'm a Sheffield Wednesday fan... Sorry for the delay the first part should be uploaded around 1500 GMT

From 9AM the voting closes and the first part of the story will be posted at 10AM.

OK, so I'm going to start a story with a club on saturday 6th (LFCMarshall Update) - I will let you guys decide. And here's the twist, in FM15 I will be the rival club and start a story with the rival club. Choose any team and I will manage the team with the most votes, then for FM15 I will...

Could you please remove Oguchi Onyewu & Paul McElroy from the Sheffield Wednesday squad, they don't play for us anymore.

Also Stefan Scougall (Sheff Utd) isn't 6 foot, he's 5'7. Sheff Wed Transfers - Gary Madine is now out of prison so he should be avaliable to play from 20/02/14 - Adedeji Oshilaja on loan from Cardiiff (28 day loan) - Gary Gardner on loan from Aston Villa (28 day loan)...
