Okay, Footie Manager 2005. Whatever! It's been years since the game's done this to me...
So, last night I was sat in front of my comp (as you do), guiding Saints to a quality victory over "high flying" Everton.
78 minutes played.
All my players with 8s or 9s.
Everton mustering an 8 from their goalie and 4s-6s from the outfielders.
It's 3-0 (Beattie, Higginbotham, Svensson all in the first half). We are pissing on them. The fourth is coming, there's no doubt about it.
Van Damme receives the ball on the halfway line, cuts inside and lays it forward for Le Saux. Le Saux skins the defender and breaks into the penalty area, Massive Attack's Angel reaches the midway point, Le Saux whips in the cross...
And I'm suddenly sat in pitch black, silence, staring at a blank screen.
Power cut.
I hear the baby Jesus crying.
I replayed the game this morning. I lost 4-2. I replayed it again, 2-2. I'm not giving up on this till I come away with the three points I deserve, dammit.
