Giggity I am giving it to Ben. I know your post was before but Ben is a good mate of mine and I can see him posting quite a bit. Also you don't have FM08 and so it will be harder to know what they players are like ect. Instead you become joint head scout alongside Jaz.

Blackpool vs Wolves @ Bloomfield Road, Blackpool - Championship
Well here it is, the first game of the new Championship season between newly promoted Blackpool and promotion challengers Wolves. Blackpool come into this game underdogs after winning the League 1 playoffs last season. Wolves are set for making the premiership, and one of the favourites to win the title. Blackpool have made a few signings, mainly two big season loans. Fraizer Campbell of Manchester United is set to start up top for Blackpool, and back in defence Liverpool's Jack Hobbs could start. Ex-Sheffield United midfielder Li Tie could be on for a debut and so could free transfer Seyfo Soley, who was picked up off the free agents list. Wolves didn't have much transfer activity in the run-up to the season, buying just the one player, that of Joe Murphy who could be set to debut in goal.
Well the teams are in, so lets take a look at the two sides:

Well, a hard fought draw against a quality side. Defence was pretty shaky whenever they had a good opportunity and some bad mistakes from Hobbs especially. 1st half we were off the pace and good work by Hoolahan gave us that vital equaliser. 2nd half we came out much better, but couldn't finish our chances. They missed a lot of good chances, hitting the bar twice and being stopped by Evans on quite a few occasions. Overall a good point!
