Get in! Rob McElhiney are you watching?

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

Amazing! First trophy! Too bad we're stuck in the conference for another year. Hopefully my new signings don't leave for clubs like @golden_blunder

 

[Ian Reus]

No transfers, mid table obscurity, out early in the cups... you had the best right midfielder in the league, I guess that's something.

Excellent.
Bring on the protests, peasants.

 

[golden_blunder]

Champions!

 

[17 Van der Gouw]

Considering we were the lowest ranked 'caf team a few days ago, I'm pleased with 7th in the Conference.

@maniak - thank you for all the time and effort you've put into this.

FA Trophy Final: @oneniltothearsenal vs @Siorac

Spoiler

@Siorac was better overall, but a Ibrahim Said masterclass helped @oneniltothearsenal win their first trophy!

2 shots on target, 2 goals...

Perfect match for Said

800k well spent

Oh ffs, got FMed.

But we'll always have that legendary comeback. @Igor Drefljak didn't know what hit them. Shades of United v Barca 1984.

 

[whitbyviking]

Bit of a kicker in the Trophy with Sir Les being sent off in the first leg and the playing the second leg and the final, scoring in both of I’m not mistaken. How was he not banned?

Roger Freestone in the team of the season, a CM goalkeeping legend

It's one of my favorite games, I do these weird experiments all the time

Noticed that too!

No ban, no idea why.

 

[P-Nut]

Hopefully we splash some cash in the summer and drag ourselves out of this dog shit league.

 

[Ian Reus]

I'm hoping to buy a new yacht so will maybe get a few loan players in if possible.

Mid table is the target once again but I'd like to see us get to the second round of any cup this season. Or even force a replay in first round so we can make a few quid.

League 3 Playoffs

Semi-Finals

Spoiler

@OptimisedRed vs @The Boy

The 1st leg was very even and that was reflected in the result.

@The Boy was hoping the seal the deal at home, but he bottled it with 2 red cards in the first half.

Richardson managed to get 2 yellows in the same minute

@The Cat vs @Samid

@The Cat was better at home but he couldn't get the win, despite better stats.

The 2nd leg was even more even and we saw another draw.

The match was decided in penalties and @Samid was on the way to the final.

The Final

Spoiler

@Samid vs @OptimisedRed

More than 18k people at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff saw @Samid being the better side, but not converting it into goals.

The 81st minute was decisive. @OptimisedRed could see League 2 at the end of the tunnel, but Jamie Holmes threw it all away by giving away a penalty and being sent off with 2 yellow cards, all this in the same minute. Quite the feat.

The match went to penalties and like in the semis, @Samid came out on top and is on his way to League 2!

 

[Igor Drefljak]

I guess the moral of this story is to not have The at the start of your team name....
Absolute bottlers

 

[Samid]

League Two baby! Promoted from 7th. Take that suckers.

 

[The Cat]

League Two baby! Promoted from 7th. Take that suckers.

Wanker

And this was your spending, great achievement

 

[sebsheep]

Probably explains his 50 league goals.
That's some defence though.

 

[Samid]

And this was your spending, great achievement

Just googled him, he lives an hour from me, started doing heavy drugs after his career, almost died and is now coaching kids.

 

[OptimisedRed]

Feck lads.. Vegas is cancelled. Off to Skeg and the penny slots instead.
I fear it will be a while before we get promoted now.

IMPORTANT

The offseason is upon us, so it's time to renew your participation in the league. I know this is a bit boring but over time I want to remove people who lose interest so it's easier for active players to climb the ladder. So if you're still in, just say so and that's it. Those who don't say anything will get a next to their name in the OP, the second time they miss the registration they get a smiley, and the third time they miss it, they will be removed from the league and replaced by the original club with the original money and reputation stats.

If you miss this post but you comment the league's events in this thread I'll assume you're in.

[Peter van der Gea]

I'm definitely in @maniak

 

[Hephaestus]

Still in.

 

[maniak]

The transfer window is now open and @17 Van der Gouw didn't waste any time... David Trezeguet will be playing in the English Conference next season! 13M was the fee.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Ok in.

 

[PSV]

Aight, lets do another one, but if my team doesn't buy anyone this season either there must be a bug.

I'll do some research before I simulate any further to see if it was just bad AI luck or other factors might be at play.

 

[maniak]

I'm a bit embarrassed because I think I watched the whole monty python but I'm missing the reference here.

 

[Anustart89]

I’m still in!

 

[maniak]

@paulscholes18 paid Forest 14M for promising youngster David Prutton.

 

[sebsheep]

Still in @maniak

 

[Ian Reus]

Not Monty python.
Fawlty towers which is the fictional hotel based in Torquay.
In other words, I'm still watching and still in.

 

[nimic]

aye

Ah ok never watched, is it the same type of humor?

 

[paulscholes18]

Like those stats

 

[The Boy]

Gutted by the play offs, but ready to go again next season, please keep me in @maniak and thank you for all your fine work in this thread!

Oh and if you could convince my team to spend just a little of all that cash they're sitting on it would be much appreciated.

 

[Ian Reus]

Ah ok never watched, is it the same type of humor?

Not quite the same madcap humour, but well worth a watch.
Cheese still has same mannerisms and slapstick style though.

Blessed are the cheesemakers. I'll try it out.
