Southampton - Back To The Top, And Further!

[scotth1995]

Hello readers,

This is my first ever post on the fm-base forums.

Today I ask if you would be interested in following my Southampton story. Starting on their 125year anniversary. I have already completed 2 seasons and have been promoted each season. Hoping for a successful season in the Barclays Premier League.

This thread will include screenshots but at the moment I would like to get a decent amount of followers of this.

As many managers have failed at, I will produce. I play the game respectably. I play every game, never cheat, and take the result as it is!

This post will go longer than a few weeks as I have already completed 2 seasons and will get you, my readers, informed weekly with updates of my season progress.

My first post will be as soon as I reach a decent numbers of followers and this will include my 1st season results and final table finish, with transfers of course!

FOLLOW FOLLOW FOLLOW!!!!

Why do you need a certain amount of followers before you post updates? Many other stories have updates with no replies, but you can still bet that there are quite a few people reading it still. I have read many of stories without replying. Also, you could just request that people hit the 'Like' button if they have read your update; therefore you would be able to keep track of how many followers you have. Anyhow, good luck with the rest of your story, and well done on the promo. If you see my sig, I did the same in season 1 too, but only through the play-offs!

2 Surprise Victories

Hello Readers,

Today I plan on sharing with you my two most famous victories so far managing Southampton FC.

Firstly, Chelsea. This took place in season #1, while I was in the nPower League 1. I was playing Chelsea in the FA Cup 3rd Round. I played 2 matches against them. The first I was at home, drawing 1-1. I took the lead in the 8th minute by a big mistake from Alex, heading the ball into his own net... Cheers Alex Then 5 minutes before half-time (40mins), Nicolas Anelka, who I now have in my Southampton squad, scored a well worked goal, created by a consistent threat to my net, Malouda.

As you can see a very close match in my opinion, even though Malouda posed a huge threat my goal, we still managed to keep a decent amount of possession and had many chances ourselves.

Now, the second leg, I WON 3-2!!!! AWAY!!! As you can see Malouda, still a threat, scored within 12 minutes I thought this match would be a huge difference from the other, I expected 4-0... but I didn't Then my second best Central Midfield, Dean Hammond, scored within 2 minutes, DELIGHTED!!! He usually played as a substitute, but after this performance, he started with Morgan Schneiderlin. Donovan scored for them and again we got back quickly... loanee Fred Sears, stepped up chase to pinch Leigh Griffiths for starting position as ST. I played Fred Sears because he had Premier League experience, kind of. Then the main man, Leigh Griffiths, came on for Sears and scored in the 68th minute. Yep, he remained as a starting ST.

Next, going to make it quick. 2-1 HOME WIN against MANCHESTER UNITED. YES!!! Top 2 teams, supposidly, in England and sometimes Europe... beaten by Southampton in Season #1 and Season #2. Summer signings Manuele Blasi(DMC) and Viktor Elm(DMC/MC) both experienced in the CM so I had to play them. Here are the stats, yet another close game, but this time, against Man Utd:

where's the update ?

 

[scotth1995]

Sorry to disappoint but somehow after backtoback promotions and doing so well in the premier league and winning league cup, my team went into administration! Dunno how. But I have decided, SCREW IT, as I couldn't buy anyone and team wasn't good enough yet to win the league!
