Amazing how they make games reflect real life so accurately these days.

I wouldn't worry about it, I remember Billy Deardon having a shocking run of games in my Blades Subbuteo side of the early seventies, I even took him off in the World Cup Final V Brazil. Mind you, I seem to recall he was coming back from a particularly nasty double leg fracture.
But he came back and I think I'm right in saying, we didn't lose another game.........ever

My Alan Woodward suffered the same medical fate. He was out for about half an hour whilst the polystyrene cement on his limbs fully dried. They were allus a bit nesh them players when you knelt on em.

Seem to remember my Big League players pulling a thigh muscle as you tried to wind on the power by hoiking their legs back as far as they'd go, and my Striker players not taking to having their heads thumped down.

danny isnt doing a bad job, this managing malarkey is harder than it looks.

my first game we lost 7-0 at walsall in the cup! absolute bloody shambles. first few league games were pish too. i flogged mcdonald to wolves, doyle to scunthorpe, porter to bury. robson kept whinging at all my team talks so i eventually terminated his contract. flynn is hopeless but ive kept him as backup.

released miller, cresswell and a load of others to get enough wage budget to bring in manset, linganzi and zanetti on freebies. shored the midfield up with a load of youngsters. tunnicliffe and lingard from man utd and daniel johnson from villa. plus experience in gary dicker from brighton. after being threatened with the sack before pretty much every game, finally strung together a good run by clinging on grimly to 1-0/2-0 wins with a 4-5-1 formation to get up to 3rd in the league. all our best rated players are defenders, hill, collins, maguire and higginbum are digging in like troopers. zanetti is doing ok but keeps getting injured. notts county have run away with the league already, 10 points clear but were only 1 point behind 2nd place colchester. yes colchester.

manset has 10 goals, murphy 7 then kitson still stuck on 1 goal and we dont really have any other strikers cept ironside who i havent played yet and some kid called jj hooper i signed on a free transfer. its got that bad i tried to sign lee trundle, but my assistant informed me hes crocked so i withdrew the contract offer. everybody keeps wanting a rest, but weve got nobody else worth playing and no money to sign anybody else halfway decent. the board are now satisfied with my management of the team, but the fans are concerned that the football we are playing is less than exciting. im seriously considering asking if i can get a less stressful job selling the programmes or summat. anybody still reading this??

I just thrashed Pompey 5-0, Robson free kick and the rest from Murphy let's hope that one comes true.

Im my FM game the Blades are now in the Premiership.
Im in charge of Arsenal.

 

[bladesadviser]

In my game Blades are in the championship. I am in charge of Sheffield Club got them up to Conference Prem but just got relegated back to Conference North.It hasn't really worked out for George Long, he was on loan with me for the whole of last season and now has been released by the Blades

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

how do i get kitson scoring?? i hope long does ok cos hes the only keeper ive got left now, i did have tori amos on loan but for some reason i can only loan players for 3 months in a season, unless theyre long term loans. used up my 4 long term loans already. what i didnt realise is long term loans count even if you sign the player. which is annoying, cos i signed tunnicliffe and lingard on loan first then signed them permanently before the season even started. i wanted to negotiate with them, but didnt want to lose them to someone else on loan whilst i shipped out a few others. so theyve used up 2 of my long term loans, even though they never played a single game whilst on loan!

I got 17 goals in 32 apps from him which is pretty decent. I played him as a target man up front on his own, with flynn/eccleston on the wide right attacking position as a winger and murphy just behind kitson abit to the left as an inside forward. Worked amazing but after losing in the playoffs I decided not renew Dave's contract and instead sign Emile Heskey on a free who worked just as well. I got promoted to the championship finishing ten points behind Derby who have the beast that is Connor Sammon.
P.S - Play McDonald in CM but as a DEEP LYING PLAYMAKER. Gets loads of assists but is quite injury prone for me anyway (7 assists in 11 apps)

 

[Bladesway]

I'm sorry you had Tori Amos on loan? I know FM is fiction but thats pushing it a little.

Random subbeteo memory. Me and my brother got the Stadium Edition for Christmas 1978 and it came with a booklet where you had to fill in your "world's greatest player" for every position. I remember for right back we put "Cutbush".

And to think, I usually trust your judgement
