Glen Johnson, Liverpool and England footballer, has confessed about his addiction to gaming, the UK newspaper the Daily Mail reported today.

While the right back is recuperating after injuring his knee, he's taken to dabbling with virtual soccer management... and, according to him, he's pretty good at it. As Liverpool boss in Championship Manager, he claims he's won a glut of trophies and competitions.

His bold claims lead me to form two conclusions:

1) As I suggested upon its launch some time ago, Championship Manager is a pretty poor game. Clearly, if Liverpool can go on to win everything, there's something seriously wrong with the game's realism and accuracy...

2) Glen Johnson may be able to read a real game of football intelligently but his ability to judge a good video game is sorely lacking. Why on earth did he settle for Championship Manager? For years, Sports Interactive's Football Manager has been far superior and the latest edition is no different.
