Soccer Manager: THE GOOD LEAGUE

RickyOFlaherty

despite 7 games unbeaten .. Pats are still 18 points behind Liverpool ... think it is a bridge too far for Pats this season despite a 5-3 win against Reggina (5 -0 up at half time, bit of a second half collapse).

Looking at Liverpool's result, I find it hard to believe that they trashed Inter so easily last night with basically their B team (Allen etc).

0-0 draw against Derry.

Happy enough. As far as I know, my first game against another human manager, and manage to keep the points gap open with that result...

yYeah it was a cagey affair. Your attack is pretty good but my counter wasn't good enough to nick anything. On a run of drawn games. =/

It's Liverpool's season. Win when they play well, win when they play average, but always win. That's league winning form that is.

Milan if they can string a run of wins will push them close.

Gala haven't had a manager in over three years mate. And they've never had a manager for longer than 27 games. Sleeping Giant To Awake!

Oh right, still don't understand how they are just behind a team with a much higher quality squad.

At the moment my plan is to go against the grain and recruit quality players nearing the end of the career so that I can do well in my first season.

Most of the top young talent is snapped up anyway, with people much less likely to sell them than even established players, well that's the way it seems so far.

Also, anyone with 89-90 rated defender regardless of age I have money to shpend.

Gotten an offer for a friendly a day before a competitive game. Should I only play second string players to keep em happy? I assume playing first team players they mightnt recover in time?

Argh they took your offer! Really wanted that chap!

EDIT: Just looked at your team there, were you cockblocking me?!

I hope Mark Lawrenson says "You can't win anything with pensioners!" about my team, it'll spur them on.

The deal involving Galatasaray SK and Javier ZANETTI of Lyon has been rejected. Lyon want to see how the player develops over the coming years.

Jaysus I thought you lost your marbles, then realised what thread we're in.

Shels beat Derry City in a thrilling 3-2 encounter

Call Me Jimmy

Won my first two games but both against computer-managed lower down teams so not that great. Today I won 5-3 and I defo need to make a big splash on a goalkeeper. Current lad is 83!

So yea, goalkeeper hunting.
Look forward to my first loss in a friendly against Lyon (toppadaleague) in a couple days.
