Career The Showdown - John O'Shite v Wesley Michael Brown


 Share

Recommended Posts

Brown-Oshea2.png

John O'Shea v Wes Brown

Good evening vibe and welcome to this rare experience. A career from Sam? :O What is this madness? After my Triple Threat was out of the way I wanted something shorter to get on with to play alongside the Woodburn 1KC and the Split Personality challenge from @mcandrew003was what has acted as inspiration for this save.

This will be a head to head showdown between two past-it ex title winning centre halves John O'Shite and Wes Brown! And yes it is O'Shite when referring to him in this thread by the way just to clear that up first.

The Challenge

I've taken inspiration from the original challenge but have edited it to suit the needs of this career so it won't be eligible for leaderboards. Well, it might be but the points will be different.

Essentially I will be playing one season, twice. The first half of the season will have JOS playing as centre back and the second half of the season will have him playing up front. I'll then repeat the first season but with Brown replacing O'Shea.

They will earn 1 point per clean sheet when playing in defence and 1 point for scoring a goal when up front. Goals count at any stage of the season but clean sheets only when in defence.

So clean sheets + goals basically.

The Contenders

O'Shea

A decent defender in his day but never more than that in my opinion, a complete oaf nowadays. Let's hope for some of these moments over the course of the season...

For a brief idea of how shocking he is now, check the spoiler below for a few comments after some matches this season from Sunderland fansite Roker Report:

A year older at 37 however he was the better of the two defenders when both were in their prime. He had a few quality moments for us but was plagued by injuries and certainly prone to the odd disaster.

My favourite memory of his was his thunderous injury time headed winner on a December night at Q.P.R away that I can't find a video of online :(

Sadly he also forced us to experience moments like these:

The Club

Not Sunderland.

Which lower league minnows will be taking these two on for this challenge?

Spoiler

fc-barcelona-club-crest.jpg

Finally these two world class individuals get the move they've always deserved ever since leaving Old Trafford! What could go wrong? They've proved they're cut out for the top level before... Right?

That brings me to the end of the introduction. As the younger part of the double act it will be O'Shite having the honour of playing the first season and I will be generous and treat you all to monthly updates.

So what do you think? Who do you think will win? Who do you want to win? Do you care? What are your memories of these two? Who was the better defender in their heyday?

Stay tuned for the first update of O'Shea v Brown...

Haha, nope they're from the lad that does the player ratings for Roker Report. Gav I think his name is. They can be quite amusing.

August + September update - John O'Shea

4214145.jpg?resolution=940,1&key=a240200

As the younger defender it's the man who turns like a cart horse John O'Shite to kick things off with the first season. The first 19 games will have him playing at CB and the second 19 games up front.

Developments before the start...

Spoiler

"Several marquee signings in the near future" Well there'll be one. And that one... Will be worth "Several".

Screenshot_2018-03-20-22-33-32.thumb.png.5d768b9a65cafc47c69847dd22a2c73e.png

£243M to spend. Think that'll be enough to afford John.

Screenshot_2018-03-20-22-34-19.thumb.png.ac0f27b31276c70f4d2066b2c165a391.png

He's furious at the transfer rejection! That desperate to take a step down club wise he's outraged by the decision!

Screenshot_2018-03-20-22-35-56.thumb.png.585d3ce92ca340148b40679fea020173.png

But I eventually got my man. £1.2M :O

Screenshot_2018-03-20-22-36-38.thumb.png.3d0af9674ca45e681180ee5531dbd962.png

I then proceeded to immediately introduce him to his vigorous training regime. Don't be wanting any injuries keeping him out of games. The stats will take a hit but it's better than being on the sidelines.

Screenshot_2018-03-21-17-37-04.thumb.png.9b07cde49ac1b70d83d5d9cbe0c474e7.png

This is the team he slots into:

Matchday 1 - Barcelona v Girona

Spoiler

The media have had their say on the key men... Messi? Messi who?? There's only one dangerman here and he goes by the name of John Francis O'Shea!

Screenshot_2018-03-21-09-57-08.thumb.png.1809b18cfe3fe688866bdf2475beb309.png

We went 2-0 up early on in this game through Suarez. Before a big moment arrived... 

Screenshot_2018-03-21-09-58-46.thumb.png.db94e94ef17e47c19cc6136fa413e4aa.png

Suarez brought down in the box, no chance of him completing his hatrick here as O'Shite stomps over to the Uruguayan, steals the ball for himself and places it down onto the penalty spot.

Screenshot_2018-03-21-09-59-03.thumb.png.49bf9c3ab7759ffea04a83b3be492c81.png

Some early banter from John as his spot kick is saved by the Girona keeper before he slots home the rebound. O'Shite scores on his Barcelona debut.

Screenshot_2018-03-21-09-59-43.thumb.png.8bc23ffd2a57c11f379f14ea733d1ed9.png

And that's the way the game finished. A point to John for his goal and clean sheet. Too easy for him!

Matchday 2 - Real Madrid v Barcelona

Spoiler

Mr O'Shea leads out the Catalan Giants in the first El Clasico of the season. Rumour has it Cristiano Ronaldo had nightmares the previous night about the Irish sensation.

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-09-25.thumb.png.2ff2e84f2831f960836e8a21f51b5fc3.png

Messi gave us the lead.

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-10-08.thumb.png.9a08d88560d477a167725df3a5746972.png

And at half time things were going swimmingly for FC O'Shite!

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-11-03.thumb.png.2ee8fff33bae3852b004dbf49ffd4f93.png

Unfortunately Kovacic had other ideas... 1-1 is how the game finished. Not a bad result but worthless for John.

Matchday 3 - Barcelona v Atletico Madrid

Spoiler

We took an early lead in this game again.

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-19-03.thumb.png.9150e6f265313991f0ac86dcfcbc2cd5.png

And it was 2 for Suarez at half time - Could we hang on to the clean sheet this time?

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-20-04.thumb.png.4c8ad97e6dad689db0534955d78be203.png

Absolutely yes is the answer. Another 2 goals in the process and a 3rd point on the board for O'Shea.

Matchday 4 - Getafe v Barcelona

Spoiler

In what is becoming a pattern now, we took an early lead in this game. Before... Here we go again! Penalty time!

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-26-50.thumb.png.f3bd8edc0afa1f9c68faa097e444e318.png

And there was no messing about from the big man this time. I pictured a little stutter in the run-up, giving the keeper the eyes and slotting it in the other corner.

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-27-02.thumb.png.1497b4f7c57c8c4db4687eebb9a14761.png

Sadly he couldn't hold out for the clean sheet, but oh well goals are more entertaining anyway. Can't wait for his first goal from open play.

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-30-45.thumb.png.5b8135fca227835b48616218afe2e72d.png

Another 8 rating. This is definitely too easy for him. Wes shuffling nervously in his seat in Kerala, India.

Matchday 5 - Las Palmas v Barcelona

Spoiler

A real treat for O'Shea lovers as he finds himself in the book for the first time. Surprised and utterly dumbfounded how it took this long.

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-33-27.thumb.png.6e9f08a93303e33a2b0824e06f71ad27.png

It was all plain-sailing at half time!

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-34-08.thumb.png.1c1bf6e68ccf8ac6d41709ce7784ab46.png

But a shocking second half display led to O'Shea's anger building up and he took the team talk at the end of the game. He was absolutely furious. Abuse, offering fights out and wanker gestures all over the place in the away dressing room.

 Matchday 6 - Barcelona v Valencia

Spoiler

Hardly anything to report in this game which is music to the ears of John. Another point in the pocket.

Matchday 7 - Barcelona v Sevilla

Spoiler

These were the top two going in to this game and the whole Nou Camp were expecting an O'Shite masterclass. But it was the attackers who got Barca off to a flyer.

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-44-04.thumb.png.1263eeee8152e31dfc3a918f337a0dae.png

Before N'Zonzi smashed one in from 35 yards to spoil the fun :(

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-44-49.thumb.png.eaa7271ee26088ffa0c85611f268e8e3.png

But did you think that was the end of the fun for today? Oh no strap yourselves in ladies and gentlemen because it's everyone's favourite time... Penalty time!!

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-47-00.thumb.png.0f9fc2429f717f200b696285f111d517.png

John walked up to the keeper, started giving him verbals, putting his hands to his ears to get a reaction from the crowd... Stepped up... And..

Screenshot_2018-03-21-10-47-26.thumb.png.4b95b5ae96ec7fa82dab220921d474a8.png

4-1 was the final score.

I think John O'Shea scoring on his Barca debut and leading them out in El Clasico has already made a mockery of La Liga :P

Yep unfortunately I can't see them getting to use any of that money though! Maybe I should've just splashed the whole £243M to buy him. And yes they can get much worse :O

Screenshot_2018-03-22-10-34-28.thumb.png.8eb02081e154a08eaf90ba502c5edc9b.png

It wasn't the best first half but Rakitic gave us the advantage at HT.

Screenshot_2018-03-22-10-36-11.thumb.png.1a0c97c35a687ab5a699910a228325e7.png

We won both halves by a goal to 0 and a stroll in the park for John as he swans to a 7 rating and another point.

Matchday 9 - Espanyol v Barcelona

Spoiler

The Catalan derby arrived and John was pumped up as always to make an impact here. Here were the lineups before the big match:

Screenshot_2018-03-22-10-40-53.thumb.png.e6fbbfa35533e105f7425a20d9d6b22b.png

Messi opened the scoring midway through the first half.

Screenshot_2018-03-22-10-41-53.thumb.png.e44a75f7580581a5ac8bd48fb1648a41.png

The whole world then stopped as Messi was brought down in the box and O'Shite stepped up to take the resulting penalty!

Screenshot_2018-03-22-10-42-13.thumb.png.75f33ff4cd1c3e890e9d972b7a3cd023.png

But it was another day at the office as the spot-kick rattled the woodwork. Just 1/4 penalties scored by the Irish phenomenon now :O

Screenshot_2018-03-22-10-42-30.thumb.png.b93bd52cb7583bd0b684888daa8295a4.png

To add insult to injury Espanyol equalised late on...

Screenshot_2018-03-22-10-44-29.thumb.png.1b25e6368f1ca43134ac8487c059e277.png

...But an injury time winner from sub Alcacer gave us the win. Bad day at the office for O'Shea though.

Matchday 10 - Levante v Barcelona

Spoiler

A shocking first half from Barca saw more fiery scenes in the dressing room at half time, John making a visual presentation on how disgusted he was by Pique's defending in the first half, even though it was O'Shite himself who have possession away.

Screenshot_2018-03-22-10-49-35.thumb.png.4c168fdbb30e2cd72ca8c33a06e5b1bb.png

This bollocking worked in a way as we turned it around in the second half and another late winner gave us the 3 points. O'Shite recovered from his earlier error to get another solid 7 rating.

It didn't take us long to get going in this game; O'Shea claiming the assist for both although he only had 1 touch all half.

Under the leadership of the soon to be retired John we got off to an absolute flyer in this game.

Screenshot_2018-03-22-11-15-53.thumb.png.b7d5a585484bc1c54c3586ebb9a26e04.png

However if a point was expected by John in this game he was in for a rude awakening:

Screenshot_2018-03-22-11-17-20.thumb.png.06f2969ed31e4c18e26089b705625020.png

An extremely boring half then ensued with no real clear openings for either side.

Screenshot_2018-03-22-11-20-13.thumb.png.91db6c55d3b314f811aaa5fc7ec4c296.png

6 goals conceded! I mean he's conceded 8 on an Autumn afternoon at Southampton before but surely this was a shock. What was a bigger shock was his he managed to burgle a 7 rating!

Screenshot_2018-03-22-11-20-21.thumb.png.a32d15e4f9ccdd8e66c6983b7449f08c.png

Leaky at the back? John? No...

Screenshot_2018-03-26-09-59-51.thumb.png.a826b6a2728a1eda136ac28e33cac122.png

And in good news for O'Shite not much occurred in the second half giving him a clean sheet and his first point of December.

Matchday 16 - Alaves v Barcelona

Spoiler

A bit of orange ball action going on today.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-04-23.thumb.png.ade6687e6b320b87174759f330f7f983.png

Again we took an early 2-0 lead thanks to the ex-Liverpool double act.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-12-57.thumb.png.ad46f35dc1f8af31876753c75de440fa.png

We were then awarded a penalty just before the break! Yet more banter from the penalty spot from John as he rattles the crossbar but the ball drops into the net. O'Shite scores.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-13-42.thumb.png.54b326272c872f8cc4f1f53a0c538411.png

That's how it stayed till half time. Could John pick up a double whammy in the second half and get a clean sheet?

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-13-56.thumb.png.11e7c8d808bc1fcf77cc651cbdd3375f.png

Could he fuck. Still an 8 rating though.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-17-40.thumb.png.4bfdce96a54f00a27721076558788d50.png

Surely this performance was good enough to get into team of the week?

Matchday 17 - Barcelona v Real Hispalis

Spoiler

Absolute scenes at the Nou Camp!! Just a few minutes in and Coutinho is chopped down in the box leading to a penalty!

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-21-34.thumb.png.af0424741a54eb40cf3b41dc87d87e8c.png

Of course, John stepped up... And..

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-21-49.thumb.png.048635a3a63348458d2fd412ad3562e0.png

Whilst everyone else was dealing with the shock of O'Shite scoring in successive games Suarez was putting another one in.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-22-06.thumb.png.f0ecfcd6c8bcca6ed7a201766a2fbf8f.png

It was an absolute demolition job at half time.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-23-03.thumb.png.ae2b91d3d5b267af4ee6a43bd0d5d742.png

Real Hispalis were looking down and out at the break so you can imagine the wrath Gerard Pique received from John after slicing through his own net. He was lucky to get out of that stadium alive!

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-23-41.thumb.png.757514b3c5cc5659484865c50a170444.png

It finished 4-1. Top class maybe, but no John O'Shea.

Matchday 18 - Real San Sebastian v Barcelona

Spoiler

Another game where Suarez individually tore the opposition apart in the first period.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-30-28.thumb.png.49a827e724a0b630bd436628961a25b8.png

He completed his hattrick in the second half.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-31-36.thumb.png.68b7f862749f8939744e3c3e9c413d0c.png

The last 17 minutes went by without too much trouble and another point for John! What a month December has been.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-32-32.thumb.png.d26517e41fd6d86c3b2db0827edd83d8.png

Madrid lost.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-32-47.thumb.png.6ffba04c2c0410355863de0caac86e20.png

Messi is absolutely loving playing alongside O'Shite!

Matchday 19 - Barcelona v Athletic Bilbao

Spoiler

We went behind early on in this encounter :O A wild mix-up between John and Ter-Stegen led to the goal. Keeper's fault, obviously.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-35-26.thumb.png.ea870ade22110e0dbc5e1435a9191af0.png

But were soon back on level terms.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-35-48.thumb.png.09be67236bb552fc7fd461d7006a8cb9.png

It was all square at half time. Good to see MATS on a 4 for that colossal error.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-36-33.thumb.png.0054dd6d4204622dec2d24cafe284d84.png

The game was fizzling out into a draw but what on earth is this?! Another penalty?

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-38-30.thumb.png.8ba0afad91ff6c040de9db78d70cc305.png

And another goal!! 3 goals in a month for John Francis O'Shea. In his last game before playing up front too! Really bringing the momentum into the second part of this challenge. That 3 shooting has never looked so terrifying for opposition defenders.

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-38-34.thumb.png.5d96f3decfa6152e7890ea54e617aba0.png

John "The Match Winner" O'Shea.

John has scored more league goals than Torres so far this season.

First half of this season complete! He's replacing Suarez from now on. He can definitely be happy with his 19 games in defence!

Screenshot_2018-03-26-10-40-12.thumb.png.995e1ca5b17e281517217fd8307a9a7e.png

Still looking strong on all fronts club wise.

I'm sure he will smash it up front with 2 pace and movement and 3 shooting. Lets hope for lots of headers.

With the movement he has will be ever be in the right position for the headers :O

I'd be happy with 3 :P

January + Part of February update - John O'Shea

4214145.jpg?resolution=940,1&key=a240200

As you can see from the above screenshot this career definitely inspired John to a MOTM goalscoring performance v Derby.

However in typical John fashion he followed it up with an absolutely shite performance in the next game Sheffield Wednesday.

Back to FMM.

What could be more challenging than playing alongside John O'Shea?

Screenshot_2018-04-05-10-01-18.thumb.png.4aa759da87c4d4e0864ea21932f5ec5b.png

The tactic John slots into - Anyone with a brain cell admits he's just a like for like replacement for Suarez.

Matchday 20 - Barcelona v Real Madrid

Spoiler

Time for the second El Clasico of the season, the first one finished 1-1. Johnny fancying his chances against that defence.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-10-02-20.thumb.png.3e1295886869c18495567bced15f48c9.png

To the shock of Camp Nou it was Messi who gave us the lead, not John.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-10-02-50.thumb.png.cf462c023b4fbdf3c974fab852307af3.png

It was 2-0 at the interval.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-10-03-40.thumb.png.92791c8c0ac35db9c34852547fb4eb2e.png

Gomes added his second before FT to give us the convincing win but no goals for John and no clean sheet to fall back on anymore :O

Screenshot_2018-04-05-10-06-10.thumb.png.58a36bc83a7df65cac53e7f008d25b24.png

And a poor 6 rating. Just taking a game to adjust of course.

Matchday 21 - Girona v Barcelona

Spoiler

An extremely boring first half saw John lose his shit at the half time break, demanding more respect and service from Messi and Coutinho.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-10-10-48.thumb.png.f51f8af4db47de281856631aae1b778e.png

And tempers flared even more at the final whistle as Girona held us to a goalless draw.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-10-12-33.thumb.png.b39b84f7461b55c8b82e980de1d34ab9.png

Another 6 for O'Shite. Not his fault though.

Matchday 22 - Atletico Madrid v Barcelona

Spoiler

A quick start from us saw a looping 90 yard aerial through ball from John land right at Messi's feet and the Argentine did the rest. John let out a "That's how it's done" right in Messi's face.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-10-27-35.thumb.png.955b10be5a875e63b6d57193281fd0a5.png

That's how it stayed until half time.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-10-28-49.thumb.png.fac9f09c4dc73a7c3e3c6ea36fdc6812.png

Gamiero drew Atleti level early in the second period but Coutinho soon restored our lead.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-10-29-47.thumb.png.e48251b2261ec2a5eb58423f9a0d59c6.png

However the game finished level much to the fury of Captain John. No goal for him again - panic stations starting to set in now!

Matchday 23 - Barcelona v Getafe

Spoiler

An explosive start to this encounter as Rakitic nods on a Coutinho corner straight onto the bonce of John who rips the net. Quadruple cartwheel in celebration.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-11-37-19.thumb.png.a00c7954dff08f1e6c2c4322bdeb8e36.png

Rakitic got one for himself not long after.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-11-37-41.thumb.png.d72b92b1e10b25fdbafd2b8da1e813ab.png

Messi had killed the game by the break.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-11-38-38.thumb.png.75df5b77e28018b70fa0084aebe7c2e9.png

Getafe pulled one back in the second half but John's first goal in his new position. Still none from open play though.

Matchday 24 - Valencia v Barcelona

Spoiler

Another dull first half, but then again if you don't get the ball to John you're not going to score.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-11-45-23.thumb.png.6f2e264e02b8c2885664df402380f015.png

Garay scored a header in the second half to put our unbeaten run under threat :O

Screenshot_2018-04-05-11-46-02.thumb.png.4d3b95b9c837b6a2019654014ee95c0d.png

And the hosts completed the job to end our hopes of an unbeaten season.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-11-47-11.thumb.png.31063bd21fa505e27c41975e08c43204.png

It's 6 o'clock again for O'Shite.

Matchday 25 - Barcelona v Las Palmas

Spoiler

An early goal a piece for Messi and Coutinho gave us a 2 goal lead at the break. But where is John?!

Screenshot_2018-04-05-14-04-35.thumb.png.500d8d5fa4a87102b47771a0237a9cf8.png

Ah... Just as time was running out. Penalty time!! John needs this.

Screenshot_2018-04-05-14-06-34.thumb.png.0631f5532d22631893097e59da616a8c.png

Wes pulling off his best distraction routines behind the goal in the stands but that doesn't stop O'Shite. An absolute thunder-bastard of a penalty left the net having to be repaired. Celebrating on his own though :(

Screenshot_2018-04-05-14-06-40.thumb.png.536ca890fdad21db96aecd56b7b860b9.png

Another 8.
