Newcastle vs. Spurs gloating thread.

[Agathon]

Souness hasn't won bugger all as a manager, IMHO he's a Blackburn/Bolton level manger.

And they've won more than we have recently. Well Blackburn anyway.

You're just bitter because he was **** at Liverpool. Well Dogleash was **** at Newcastle, but that doesn't impugn his time at Anfield.

Thats what you Yanks will never really understand, a football team would never relocate like the NFL teams do, it a community, life long thing.

We thought like that at Liverpool under Houlier....it didn't work out in the long run.

It amazes me how little time managers get these days, as much as I hate him, Alex Ferguson was at Man U for 7 years before he won the title for them. Liverpool need to get real, they need a team before they can challenge for the title, all they have now is a few talented players playing for themselves.

Instead of taking an early lead and blowing it, they can now take an early lead and hang on for dear life. That's progress.

You cant defend like you did against us every week and get away with it, look how many chances we had, and the turned down penalty decisions, that was luck and desperation more than tactical nouse from Souness. Plus theres better attacking teams than us to defend against for 85mins.

I found the absolute best player to buy too. He's a Brazilian called Dede and plays for Leverkusen or some team like that. You can get him for about 15 million pounds and he is worth every penny.

£15m?!? Who were you managing, Chelsea?

IIRC Spurs start with 7 or 8m total to spend on transfers, and it decreases every week if you dont spend it. Kinda makes you understand why managers rush out and buy **** players sometimes.

If you like football games you should try pro evolution soccer 4 if you havent already Agathon.

Bad example, Ferguson was a knats c0ck away from being sacked before he lucked out and won the FA Cup, he'd have been replaced in the following close season otherwise.

[Maquiladora]

Fair enough, but Ferguson still got 4 years before he won the FA cup, you'd never see that nowadays with a big club.

I played the demo of Football Manager 2005. It's very good, although a bit too easy.

Don't be Chelsea then . I finished 3rd with Newcastle in the first season, but I'm struggling in the second season, hovering around mid-table. I just sold Jenas and Bellamy and brought in Downing and Hasan Sas. Hopefully that can jolt my team (oh in the last transfer market I bought Drogba and sold Dyer.... Drogba is WONDERFUL).

Plus theres better attacking teams than us to defend against for 85mins.

Like Chelsea?

[Imran Siddiqui]

HAHA... just as I posted that in my second season at Newcastle, Barcelona just pried Mourinho from Chelsea... now if we can knock off Arsenal somehow.

Didn't you just prove his point?

English football fans (and maybe more than just the English) need to learn to have patience.

He's a commie, that's much worse .

[Kropotkin]

Starting out it a premier leauge club in a CM/FM game? What a boring idea. Soon, the Torquay United faithful will see the premier leauge title brought to Plainmoor. That's not to easy.

[Imran Siddiqui]

It is my first game... well not in a demo.

And I'm also using it as a learning tool .

[Kropotkin]

Imran: You can talk crap about other managers, that's nice.

[MikeH]

There used to be a thing in the old Championship Manager forum for only starting with teams in the Conference and seeing what you can do with them. Not sure if people still talk about that on the forums...

[Maquiladora]

Yeah the lower league managers, i think it still exists. Back when the SI forums and CM were good i used to visit there regularly, because they looked down on any tactical or good transfer discussion, basically any showing off that wasnt related to the eternal struggle of lower league management. If you visit the transfer or tactical forums thats all you read, "OMG I FOWND THIS RALLY GOOD PLYR SAVIOLA I SYNED FOR MANU AND HE GOT 2 IN THE FISRT GAME BUY HIM HE IS GOOD".
