Gaming CM Experiment: "It's coming home!" Edition - Signups Open!

I assume that my career is going pretty well? United's star player, top scorer and assister in the league, that sort of thing.
No big numbers, but great average. You'll never be the star player until RvN retires tough.
 
March 21, 2003 - U21 Friendly - Slovakia v England

@Siorac @AbusementPark @WR @OptimisedRed and @Stobzilla were in action for the u21 team.

@Samid was called again, but didn't make it to the bench.

Easy win for England, @Siorac got a brace but it was @AbusementPark the POTM

No goals in the first half, but the best chances were for Slovakia.

The manager wasn't happy and made 2 subs half time:

out: @golden_blunder and @youngrell

in: @Dr. Dwayne and @whitbyviking

England finally scores, it's @Mr Pigeon returned from injury who opens the score. @Shakesy with the assist.

After the assist, it was time for @Shakesy to score his first goal for England!

FT: Slovakia 0-3 England

Despite having more chances, England was more effective. @Shakesy really took advantage of @oneniltothearsenal's injury and was POTM was a goal and an assist.

England continues 100% victorious. Apparently it was @nimic jinxing the whole thing.

At this point, I have to believe that John Terry has kidnapped me and is holding me hostage in my own house while he shags my wife.

Any movement looking likely @maniak or am I still languishing at Southampton?
