USM was amazing when it first came out, USM 98 i really remember, god i found my dad playing it most of the time though. Total club manager was good a few years ago too, still don't think they are anywhere near FM09 though tbh

Football Manager 2009 - Southampton Save Game Thread
Smirking_Saint replied to Matthew Le God's topic in Computer Games
Just started a new season with saints. Won all pre-season matches and am currently second in championship after winning 4 on the trot. Playing a 4-2-3-1 formation but although the team is solid i am a little concerned about scoring goals. Team is --------------Westerveld----------- wasilewski---Todoya---Lequi---- Insua ---------Cork------Surman----------- Dyer-------Sanmearten/Lallana--------Holmes/Murphy -------Mcgoaldrick/Helgusun/McCulloch And have on bench - Glauber, Soley, Binya, Holmes, Gibson, John But obviously i rotate a little, i sold Davis, BWP and Skacel. Need a goalscorer though as i am worried that i am not scoring Edit - Most of my team are frees or loan signings -
Favourite so far !! 2 fish in a tank One turns to the other and says.. "Don't know how to drive this do you ?"

Hmm, rather un-comedy like it appears that there is only one Smirking_Saint in the whole world and resides in the saints forum !!!! HaHaHa, only you guys are cursed by my crap opinions.

An Irishman is really, really drunk, so the bar keeper walks up to him and says: "Right, you've had enough, go home..." So the irishman gets up off his stool and falls flat on his face, so he says: "Ok, i'll crawl outside instead, to sober up a bit more" He gets outside, and falls flat on his face, so instead he crawls the four streets to his home. when he gets home he opens the door, standing, and yet again falls flat on his face. so he crawls upstairs into his room, stands up and falls flat on his bed and falls fast asleep straight away. The following morning his wife wakes him up and says, 'You've been drinking again haven't you?' The Irishman replies, 'What makes you say that?' His wife replies, 'Well the pub just called, you've left your wheelchair there again!'

I must admit my one real fear was him going to forest, hopefully he will score a few against the relegation rivals now.

An Aussie Boss Who Tells It Like It Is

Fully see both sides of the story, i thoroughly agree with the fact that there are too many people just living off benefits and i believe these people are scum. However there are also the people that genuinely need them. -
I find myself agreeing with what you just said FC, however i like the word puppet as i feel it adequately sums it up. The problem is somebody believing they can do better then those that have lived in the professional game.
-
Yeah transfer i agree but we also spend money on crap we don't need. I agree with wright and cork and as for Saga and Saijs like i said before they are both surprise packages. I never heard of both of them before hand, it's the loan signings, i always see tha players available that from the off i believe could do a job, and we never seem to be even sniffing around. Look at under burley when we clearly needed center halves and he still signed about 25 midfielders.
-
I appreciate what the whole Gray, Wigley arguement is but it is purely a Lowe **** up, having met Gray he is a great guy and having been coached by him he is a brilliant coach, both times unfortunately i feel we lost good members of staff and yeah they did not perform well at that level but what did anybody expect ?? Problem was he was not ready. I also believe that the real reason Gray left (although agreed results were not great) was the falling out over Delgado. He did not want to sign him, he wanted to sign Forlan who was then available for 750k and probably a better option. I feel these two appointments were the beginnings of Lowe wanting a puppet.
-
yeah, having calmed down and thinking about things logically i suppose yeah it was never going to happen but it feels like for the past 3 years we have never had the rub of the green as far as signing decent loans. We never seem to be able to compete.
-
Can't find any other threads relating to this yet, i apologise if there are. The news that marlon may be going to either wolves or nottingham forest, anyone else believe he would have done a perfect job for us ?? Why is it we never seem to sign anyone that could actually do a good job for us ?? As opposed to the odd surprise package ?

I was well up for this and it was one of my targets for this year but seeing as my knee decided to royally ruin itself again my new targets are trying not to get too fat lol

Can where his point is going but the way he puts his point across is completely ****ish for want of a better description. The people that can't look after themselves need to be protected and it's hardly his workers fault. Ego's -
I have to agree with the general theme. As a person i never really liked her but nobody deserves to go through that and having to have her kids watch her fade is heartbreaking. I feel that the positives are that she has raised the awareness and fair play. Problem is people often feel something is wrong but are too scared to hear that something is wrong, it's just human and TBH happens at all scales. Even to the point of not checking bank balance till it's too late lol. Problem is some risks really are not worth taking. Luckily i am only a young'un so have not had to deal with health scares yet but i am not sure i would take the chance.

Christ this all seems slightly ironic. Spent most of yesturday in A&E after stretching for a ball i thought i would clear, in reality i probably did not need to as the (as usual) lightweight no bottle winger decided that if i was going to go for it he could not be bothered. My studs got caught and knee twisted and then the agony set in. Mostly because of the mental trauma (it was same knee as i had the op) and and worry. Luckily the doctor did all the specific tests and strongly believes it is not ligament damage (backed up with no swelling whatsoever) thank god !! But still as i know does not mean it's not, waiting for an M.R.I now, deep joy, looks like i will be joining you for a while !!!!!
-
I agree the situation still looks dire but all the time i can see a positive i will still sit here with faith and hope. End of the day we have had better form then the other teams down this end of the table battling and also have a game in hand. Yeah we will probably lose and my hopes be shattered but at this stage we are not dead and buried. For christ sake look at charlton that is an example of no hope remaining, we are 3 points from safety(ish) and have a game in hand, AND i also believe our run in is not quite as daunting as some of the others.

Lol, your hamstring hurts now.... if it is ACL they will prob use some of it lol, anyway good luck with the referral. Hythe ?? Bit weird i went to winchester (when living with parents in bishopstoke) and saw a doctor that worked at Sarum road. Worked out pretty well due to waiting lists and the fact they had no free beds i got it done there. It was lovely, all the nurses thought i must be a professional i think, i had loads of different ones come in and ask who i played for lol.
-
I'll play, although i didn't have the greatest games today, let down by midfield is my excuse. JT, think he will do a good job, can't see anyone else really, spiderman doesn't challenge in midfield why would he at RB ?

Ched Evens gets amazing too, he is scoring crap loads for Fulham and is worth 10 mil with a finishing stat of 18. And that baxter kid from everton. -
Sho.... Drew...... Do you know who hashh got my wallet ??

I was merely pointing out an observation i had when driving past, i believe it is not connected to the railway as i have made enquiries, it could be connected to the development that has happened up the road although i don't think it is directly linked. May be as innocent as just being put up in order to improve the network however if anybody has seen it is quite large. Now i may be mistaken and it may be on the other side of the road (cannot remember completely). (NB - i am not saying i am ITK or anything, just made an observation when i drove past)
