I'm slightly concerned that you seem to think there is a connection between the Nick Proschwitz that plays for Hull City (who is real) and the one on Football Manager (who isn't). Slightly disturbing.
Boy, that esculated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast. It jumped up a notch. OLM killed a guy! And there were horses and a man on fire...
The Nick Proschwitz on football manager is the same nick Proschwitz who plays for Hull City in both realities. If he can make it on there, he can make it here too.
I dont think that there is any doubt that Danny Graham will score goals with the chances that we shall make for him. The problem with Graham last season from January was that he was playing in a very poor Sunderland team that but for DQPR and Reading would now be in the championship again. Newcastle can also thank themselves lucky. It could well be a very long and hard 2013/14 season for the north east 4 (newcastle-sunderland-middlesboro-hartlepool) actually.
What if I told you that this world, this "reality", was a lie, designed to keep you from knowing the truth.
Scientists believe there's so many parallel universes, that in fact what one person plays out on football manager in this universe could control what really happens in a different one. Think of puppets on a string, and football manager 2013 being the control panel.
That fight scene is probably in my top 3 favourites of all time. "I'm gonna straight up murder your ass" "Blade!" *Slice* "Arggghh I did not see that coming!"
If you think that we have got a very long, hard season in front of us - I some how don't think yours will be any easier ! You have a squad of good/average Championship players mixed with a few players that have tried the Premier league but failed miserably (Elmo, Meyler and now Danny Graham). Unless you splash some serious cash you don't stand a cat in hells chance of survival !!!!
I dont know about anyone else, but Im experiencing de ja vu.... I'm not saying we will stay up, plank, but everyone said EXACTLY the same last time we got promoted.
I seem to remember this superblackcat chap telling us we wouldn't beat Derby's point tally on the old 606...
I didn't so you told a lie there - your pants are probably now aflame. Every team that comes up is seem as relegation fodder, it's not a personal thing it's just the way it is. As far as Danny Graham goes he was a bitter disappointment to a lot of us (and a self-fulfilling prophecy for others). Someone earlier in the thread felt his lack of performance was because he was in a poor Sunderland side... in fact we created a had a fair number of chances for him, all of which he fluffed. We were a poor side last year and it seemed that Martin O'Neill failed to stop the rot that had well and truly set in under Steve Bruce who was always long on excuses and short on 'Plan B's for us. Maybe he's learned a lot in his visit to the Championship and maybe Danny Graham will not feel as much pressure playing for Hull. At the moment the whole season is just a bunch of maybes. Good luck though, because I for one do hope you stay up, even after Steve Bruce's bitterness towards us after we sacked him because clubs are never really about managers and players, they're about fans and I've found most Hull fans to be friendly and self effacing (as are most Sunderland fans unless there's a Mag in the room).
