@maniak you evil soulless orc! You made me believe the cup was a consolation price for another shite season. I hope you step on a Lego in wet socks.
Also, we're going up!

We made Mike BassettDo you employ Mike Bassett there?
Just noticed we seem to love a red card in finals too, first the tinpot cup and then the playoffs.
You got a new managerGood to see that we're back winning the award for lowest attendance, despite being one of the higher scorers in the league. Are the fans not entertained, must be the pies
Extremely funny that @Peter van der Gea's old manager couldn't get them promoted out of the conference, but has managed to get promotion to League 1
In League 1 you lose access to the EFL Trophy. Is it really worth it?
Playing against 10 men for an hour and only managed 2 shots on goal? Obviously my chairman needs to sign some experienced players instead of relying on 16 year olds!
@maniak Could you get me John O'Neill's attributes and career history? Must be a club legend for me at this point. Top scorer for what, 7 years in a row?

@The Boy are the new League 1 champions! After 9 years in League 1 they are finally promoted to the Premier League for the first time!
@WR finished second and they will also have their PL debut next season!
@Ian Reus have basically given up. No new players in 5 years, half the squad is u19...
@Vidyoyo were in the relegation spots since round 18, but miraculously avoided relegation with 3 wins in the final 4 matches.

It's amazing really how you're not relegated. No new players in 6 seasons, only 6 players with a professional contract and 3 of them are 16 or 17.
Wow we came 3rd! I was not expecting that at all
Raging we lost the semi to @SilentWitness who scraped into the playoffs
Well done on promotion though mate

You got a new manager
He looks really progressive; loves a 442, has no style of play and scores 1 for adaptability. Also seems a bit of a nutter with a 3 for discipline
Get in there! Finally we are making moves.
He's fine I've probably got his 2 year old nephew in charge of our lot.He looks really progressive; loves a 442, has no style of play and scores 1 for adaptability. Also seems a bit of a nutter with a 3 for discipline
Joined this experiment late and already promoted to the PL. Didn't realise we had Ashley Cole
Big times ahead

How the mighty have fallen: United relegated to D2, and I saw they're joining Liverpool there. It's funny - I would expect all those teams to drop out of the PL eventually, with the infinite wealth we all have. But then dropping into D2 while a whole bunch of teams that never won the PL in the course of this simulation are still in D1 surprises me.League 1 2015-16

So basically my club is just as badly run as it was when I nearly got relegated to Conf North/South, but just fluking my way up the leagues? We are improving too, I'll be disappointed if we don't get to the championship next year.
Yeah it's odd, only Stoke remains in the PL
Basically... you academy is keeping you alive but for some reason the AI is not giving contracts to the best players.

@paulscholes18 demolished City with 6 different scorers.
@PSV went to @AbusementPark's ground and knocked them out

Imagine winning a cup because you injure your opponent's main player 10 mins into the final.
Is this the end of @nimic's dominance?
Getting knocked out by a lower league team in the cup is a rite of passage. I'll be doing the treble next season for sure now.
He'll be in D2 before long now.
Well you know that famous Norwegian saying, the Ball is round and cup is cup.
All part of our game plan
And what sorcery helped you to score, injure an opponent and have an opponent sent off in just 1 minute against @youngrell?
As soon as Samba and Torres retire he's done.

Dramatic final, @OptimisedRed were better but they couldn't finish @LARulz off, even after 50 minutes with one more player. Star player van der Vaart missed the decisive penalty.

Out of both cups by the 2nd round and in D3. I'm expecting the conference come the summer
Get in!!! A trophy and now we are cooking!
Also great to see we beat the winners of the more inferior domestic cup on the way

@sebsheep are PL champions for the second year running! That's 3 times in the last 4 seasons!
@OptimisedRed finish second for the 3rd consecutive year...
@nimic qualified for the CL again and @Cheimoon is back to the top 4!
@Big Andy with an excellent debut will get european football, the same for @AbusementPark
@Hephaestus had a very disappointing second half of the season, after being in the CL spots for a long time, they collapsed near the end.
@Šjor Bepo @LARulz @paulscholes18 @Samid @Skizzo @golden_blunder @altodevil and @Herman Toothrot had uninspiring seasons.
@K Stand Knut and @PSV paid for the lack of investment and were relegated to League 1.
@Dan seemed doomed at one point, but a half decent second half to the season guaranteed another PL season.
@K Stand Knut were in the european spots for a bit, but completely collapsed around christmas and never go back up.
@PSV pulled a Derby County and were dead last since matchday 5.
@nimic with 4 players in the top 5 for best rating. Quite impressive, best attack in the league but their defense left them down in many matches. Samba and Torres are not young men anymore, if they don't get nice replacements the top 4 status might be at stake in a couple of seasons.
@sebsheep seems to be the current top force in the league, @OptimisedRed's fans are desperate for the PL trophy, it's 3 consecutive seasons finishing 2nd.

Finishing 3rd with both top scorers and 5 out of the top 7 in average rating is dire. Big Sam has to go!
I also notice that the idiot Premier League players didn't even put Cherno Samba on the Team of the Year bench, despite being top scorer by 10 goals and having a 7.91 average rating.
