I'm suspicious of your claim that the leagues were randomly assigned.

Drat, I'm rumbled!

Thats surely why I assigned myself the lofty heights of division 5....

GuanYin

Who else is in Div 7? I want to know who I can talk trash to!

Get used to that position

Xavi6

Just splashed my last ounce of cash on the superbly named midfielder Jose Antonio Redondo. How could he NOT be good with a name like that?!

Seriously though, only 19, can play anywhere, is quick and takes dead balls. Love it.

Gave him the number 4 shirt as well. My own little Fabregas.

GuanYin

He might be your Reyes

Xavi6

Touche

In the squad he goes though.

Thanks to The Incredibles's media presence lately the club's main sponsor has decided to give an additional 200.000 econ to the club.

Thats a weekly event as long as you meet certain press criteria....

Pepe LeFrits

Someone in Division 6 signed Andrei Arshavin.

Sounds good except he's a 19 year old goalkeeper and he's cack.

Yours qualify easily anyway Des. And yep they are a great part of the game alright. There's been some classic press releases already in the boards.ie league

GuanYin

Whatever about Des and Xavi being in a league higher than me, Mr. Alan??? WTF?

Hey does anyone know how to get youth players up to your first team? I got one up during the week and have another one now but cant actually sign him up?

The button which says give the player a chance isn't highlighted... Can you only bring up one player per week or is my team full?

(ive deleted player name etc )

Cheers

Yes, you can only have a max of 20 players in your squad so you need to sell/sack someone.

these press releases are a good laugh!!!! a soccer player stuck on roots and leaves after 2 years in captivity. :rolleyes: soul ink- a lost souled-journalist's charity; brill.
first thing i check is the press releases for a laugh. keep em coming:D

Helix

im having the worst run ive ever had in this game with all 4 of my teams

cant remember the last game i won

Mitch Connor

Two games played, two wins.

5-1 victory today. another shocking first half performance though.

_blank_

Lost 1-2, but still in 3rd position in the league, on 3 points.

I had a load of injuries/suspensions, so not too bad at all.


Playing the bottom club next, chdpoker, here I come

Xavi6

Easy 3-0 win today. Great performance from the boys, defender Gerrit McIntosh in particular. He banged in two free kicks and set up the other goal. Up to third we go.

Pighead

3-1 win today.
Top of the league.
Obviously.

Pepe LeFrits

Drew 1-1 despite being comfortably the superior team. Bah.

Away to Reganio next game; 2nd vs 3rd.

Im_No_Superman

2-0 away win, two points clear at the top of the league.

KevIRL

2-0 defeat.


Im gonna up the pools buyin to 100 000econ. With everyone getting a couple of sponsors millions etc behind them people should be able to afford this. That okay?

Xavi6

+1 from me

genericgoon

2-0 victory for me. Cmon Rolly United. Boourns for the injury to my new signing though.

ShoulderChip

is a season a year
as in in 8 weeks will my 34 year old be 35?

Kulgan

Monkeees on top in 4-3 thriller!!

roryc

Awesome, another 2-0 defeat... Im obv playing this wrong!! I thought the idea was to try and play the strongest team possible and try and guess your opponents tactics etc... Clearly this isn't the way to victory!!

Any hints on how to win a game (other than pure luck!)

cheers

genericgoon

The teams are pretty much even for now, so luck is really going to continue to be a big factor for now.

staker

0-0 draw away! lying third in division 4. gave the boys the weekend off, they're gone roasting :rolleyes:

yeh seems to be a massive amount of luck in it... Ive brought in some good players and spent a lot on form training, also spent a lot of time researching opponents etc but doesn't actually do anything...

ah well, hopefully the luck swings my way next week!

GuanYin

I think you need to atatck at home and defend away.

Look at the stats and the style of play for those winning away, that would seem to be the trend.

That annoys me.

You'd think that the pitch and goal posts are different sizes in away matches :rolleyes:

Xavi6

Lol look at the bitter comments already. Face it, your teams shite and you're goin down!

You don't take rejection very well

Wanna play a friendly?

I can't "go down" from the last division

Xavi6

Rejection? What rejection? I accepted you to gmail chat btw, seeing as you added me like.

Anyway that's completely OT. I guess you'll just have to look forward to another year in obscurity while some of us move onwards and upwards!

Lets set up a friendly then

Or are you too scared?



True story, when I was a senior in high school, I coached one of the middle school girls soccer teams. I remember one day we lost a away game that we should have won. The opposition were from one of the poorer schools and they were intimidated by the faclities (which were pretty retarded).

Anyway, a parent said to me afterwards that away games aren't meant to be won and that what makes the league more exciting. I told her that the sort of thinking that would see her daughter pregnant before highschool.

I was removed as coach the next game.

Lol nope. Unfortunately friendlies can only take place between seasons but we'll definitely 'get it on' *cough* once the season is over.
