CM 97/98 Sword Quest. Part 9: Check 1 – 2

Into the Premier League. Not a lot of players out there. This Thistle team is getting pretty old so I’m on the regen hunt.

Here we have Gordon Durie, Ian Ferguson, Kevin Gallcher, Ally McCoist, Andy Goram & Colin Hendry. Andreas Thom is there as well but he’s not for sale.

The kids are going out on loan to get some experience. I can’t afford to blood them in the Premier League just yet. My first team is in its prime & will be given the chance to smelt some trophies this season.

James leaves to balance the books.

First game in the Premier League and it’s a scrappy win at Maine Road. My 30-year-old strikers earn their Horlicks. City were off the Boyle.

Huddersfield give us an almighty scare but we’re through in the League Cup. Prince Hamlet will seek revenge on their marksman. Pugh-Pugh, he fired wide.

Back to back wins in the PL against the Mackems.

Another 2- 1 victory. This time with 10 men.

ANOTHER 2-1 victory. Something Fishy is going on. We’ve lost Larsson though to ruin our Day.

Coudet comes in from Rangers and gives us cover on the flanks.

Leeds burst our bubble. Can’t score 2 today.

Leeds 1 – 0 Thistle

Richards is sold back to Rangers for a profit.

Quahsie comes in on a trade.

32-year-old Laudrup adds quality and will go straight into the team and on set pieces.

Derby 0 – 0 Thistle

McKinlay is sold again. He should never have come back, silly billy.

Beetlejiuce is recalled to the starting XI and grabs a brace. Gow (Gallacher) gets his first senior goal as well. Lovely day out.

Thistle 1 – 3 Middlesbrough. No screenshot. Too busy pouting.

Back on track at Stamford Bridge

Collymore was angry at being left out of the first team & with the lack of communication. Tried to cheer him up with a little song. Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but been busy. I hear your girlfriends pregnant now, how far along is she?

Back to the League Cup. We just about hang on against Watford after Campbell goes all Leeroy Jenkins again.

Full strength at home to Man Utd. If we are going to win the league, someones going to have to beat them. Beetlejuice and Negri win us the match either side of half time.

Nice scalp in front of record crowd.

Stan has a point to prove & so does Big Dunc who I have tried to sign on numerous occasions. A point aint bad though.

Celtic are up next. We smashed these before and we will smash them again. I guarantee victory. We only got to turn up. They won’t be able to handle us. Alas, a disallowed Negri goal is the only we can get past their keeper as champ manned in front of our own fans.
