Yeah it was lovely. Second pint even better. First time here since the Sutton Arms merger and it feels like it's upped a notch.

Cheers! Your post inspired me to come out.

Back then boards were much more patient with a relegation. Brian Robson and Peter Reid both kept their jobs after being relegated the previous season. Looking back, seems mad Robson kept his job.

I have three pieces of artwork from artists I discovered through Pellicle. 👍

Thanks! I couldn't find online proof that #safc were in for Kuyt but my memory is we were linked the same summer he went to Liverpool.

My thoughts exactly. And this save proves we would have won the Prem had we signed him instead.

Bramble and Defoe I added yeah. Think Bramble will be on the game next version (he made his debut in 98-99 so no reason why not).

I do feel like the story ends here. Would be interesting to see how Crouch, Defoe, Bramble and the Steve Bruce regen do but I don't feel like I can take the club any further. I might try for a Division 3 job.

Here's the squad. Very health in attack and Emerson Thome came in and was superb at the back. The deadline day signing of John Terry (applied to be manager IRL) helped. Midfield was a bit more shaky. Ray Parlour came in but averaged under 7.

Bear baiting, cock fighting, bare knuckle boxing, public executions, crucifixions, gladiator fighting, fox hunting, football hooliganism - all things of the past. Civilization has been slowly becoming more civilised for thousands of years.

Certainly in Germany and Belgium it's not the etiquette to ask for tap water. However, if you are spending alot of money and buying other drinks they will usually oblige.

Interesting to see what's possible. Even with an overpowered lower league team I've always struggled in cups and my strikers always go on scoreless runs after starting the season well.

I need to look into why I'm not receiving the CAMRA magazine!

Him and Melville have both been very good. Thome is an upgrade though.

My main issue is it's impossible to sell and loan out fgn players.

Out go Flitcroft and Rae and in come Savage and Delap. Arca finished the season strongly but he's out for a year with a broken leg. Emerson Thome comes in to strengthen us at the back with Varga being released on a free (I lost patience after 3 years on the transfer list).

It's not awful - the worst you can say it's bland - IMO of course ☺️

Is the plan for them to be awful?

Managed to sign Given on this save who I've never managed to get before!
comment in response to
post
Agreed. The fgn thing seems a bit broken - seems impossible to sell anyone fgn too even if they're class. And I'm unable to loan out any either!

By stalling do you mean he will stop scoring? I had Phillips with something like 18 in 12. He's now 21 in 24.

Love the ground image is a painting! Reminds me of my Halifax safe. I love playing the lower leagues with an overpowered squad.

Forgot about Seth Johnson. Just looked and I don't think Sunderland were linked with him either. I do sign him loads too

Do they have anyone decent on 9798?

Yes that's me. Sorry I thought it was obvious 😂

Summerbee and Johnston. Gray was exclusively left back by this point in his career (although he broke through as a winger).
comment in response to

TBF, Summerbee was a big part of the squad that season although he signed later. Wouldn't feel right without him.

Love this. Great to see Kilbane get some love! Let me know if you need any info on Sunderland!

I always assumed it was Nicky Summerbee's transfer from Man City to Sunderland.
