    thing is ive already sacrificed the last 2 league games and dropped a certain 10 points and not sure i can get surprise wins off the big guns in 2nd half of season as they'll be wise to me. 4th in league is achievable but if i dont win saturday then the gap will be too large and 5/6th will be most likely.

    on the other hand ive never been this far in the cup and athough the team im playing are gonna be really hard to beat its not impossible. quite the conundrum.

    best possible results for me tonight. i threw out my 2nds on WNWIM, got hammered, but one of my main league rivals went LTNT giving us fairly equal energy. Playing him saturday and need to win, game on.

    Probably a stupid question but why would you play your 2nd's in the cup at WNWIM, when presumably you'll be playing your 1st's against your league rival on saturday?

    If your playing your 2nds to throw a match and not because you think they can do the job then what point is there in wasting their energy? (or at least I assume that was Js's logic)

    ya i was throwing the match and like marz said why waste their energy. i also had to use 3 first team in the line up so was saving their energy too.

    Right, finally able to focus on the league. From now on my aim is to get to div II and start playing with the big boys at last!

    Stars indicate todays game will be tight (I'm slightly ahead)

    This is the one match of the season that I was confident I had a chance so I hope I don't blow it.

    I stupidly decided to expand my stadium ehich is coming in for next week too so financially it's damn vital as well.

    Pffft, setting your team sober is for rookies and people who understand the game tactically.

    I'm not sure there are that many in either category on boards :pac:

    Unfortunately including myself :o

    Mine isn't. 35-3 up at half time and bonus point secured :D

    Hopefully this win will help keep finances in good shape (and I don't somehow collapse in the 2nd half making a mockery of my happiness ;))

    Pity it wont help me stay up this year. I have Titans who won my league last year in 5th and bloody Openside in 6th. I've got the feeling Openside will continue playing wnwim though unless they drop into the bottom two.

    The re-shuffle of leagues really screwed me over.

    Openside will start to take the league more seriously once I knock their ass outta the cup this Wednesday :cool:

    Although, I was disappointed to see them play wnwim today. Hoping they pick up an injury or two ;)

    They've wnwim every league game so far. Thing is as soon as Openside start caring they will probably still have a good chance to get playoffs.

    Please don't knock them out Jp, I've been hoping for a seaky win in a few weeks. Although they may well wnwim against me anyway, I'm honestly not sure if my ltnt would take them.

    Currently 16-13 up against Stab County! If I win I'll be the first team in the league to beat them.

    Although I don't know how well I'm doing, I passed out with the tactics screen open and I don't know if I pressed save or not!

    Edit: Now 21-13 ! I think I might just have it, or at the very least a bonus loss point.

    What a tense game that was. I was nearly right with my prediction, won by two points in the end 19-17 against the cork coyotes. only one score in second half between the 2 of us. Wont complain though, job done.

    23-16! Nice! Helps me stay in play-off contention and helps Scrummage take the top spot.

    Edit: Nevermind, Scrummage got destroyed :(

    Lost 24 -22 to clampett today. I was 22 - 10 up with 20 minutes left and he score with more or less the last play. What really annoys me is that i spent most of the second half camped in his half. :mad:
