Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Anyone got a CB/RB to loan me? High 70's low 80's will do. Need for cup games so they can't be cup tied. Thanks.

I've got 2 left backs if you could shift someone over to RB?
 
Free for friendlies any day after Wednesday, so get requesting!
 
Got a point away at City without Llorente, Kevin Prince Boateng, Kroos, Jerome Boateng and Pienaar.

Nice to keep them rested for the big cup game.
 
Newest youth signing (Junior Tallo 19/75) had an assist against Napoli yesterday (Roma drew 2-2), he's number 26:

Apparently he played well. He only made his debut 3 days earlier in Roma's 2-1 loss against Fiorentina.

Luis Muriel (21/84) has got 7 goals and 5 assists in 24 appearances while on loan at Lecce. He's been linked with a few clubs.
 
No mind games. Millwall are the in form side playing at home (unbeaten), whereas our away record is pretty poor.

I've had a load of draws at home though to weakish sides. Won 2 drew 4.... I'd take another draw though on Thursday tbh bearing in mind I have a couple of injuries.

True, your draws at home:

Millwall 0 - 0 Peterborough United (20th)
Millwall 1 - 1 Portsmouth (18th)
Millwall 1 - 1 Leicester City (19th)
Millwall 1 - 1 Hull City (4th)

Three of them against sides in the relegation zone but those draws were fairly early in the season.

My three away draws and the loss:

(6th) Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Leeds United
(16th) Barnsley 2 - 1 Leeds United
(11th) Nottingham Forest 1 - 1 Leeds United
(9th) Coventry City 1 - 1 Leeds United

The Forest and Coventry game weren't that long ago. The only real disastrous result I'd say is the loss to Barnsley - didn't expect that at all.

I'd take a draw too but I think that it'll be a game where one side wins despite our home and away forms pointing to a draw.
 
2-1 away win! One of very few teams to win yesterday. My season starts now :p

In other news I see Millwall are panicking as they play us in the shield next, emergency loans eh? :rolleyes:

As I have a strong and balanced squad I don't need any ;)

Also managed to rest some of my important players with this game in mind. muhahaha.
 
I've got a friendly slot open for Wednesday if anyone wants a game.
 
Starting to get a tad annoying, the hype seems to wear off once they start on a losing run.

DN with Carlisle was on a winning run, when he quit.
Thought he would have done well if he stayed.

They have to hang on a bit more, you never know what squad you might bring together.
 
Exactly, first 4-5 games my form was horrible. Stuck with a formation and tweeked it now and then an I've managed to break into the top 4. Granted I have a better team then most but the competition is still relevant.
 
Got a draw last night, good result and nice to see my team finally coming togeather, hopefully to drag us off the bottom of the table!
 
Cheers to KM for loaning me Zuccilini... his first call of business will be trying to help Middlesbrough claim a famous, if not highly unlikely, win away at Manchester City...
 
Arf! Alas, I have supreme faith in my boys to do the Smoggies proud... there will be no 4-6-0 formation, there will be no tactics of retreat... we will turn up, and we will give it our best shot. We might get embarassed, we might get stuffed, we might get humiliated... but damnit, we'll do so by playing football the right way, and we will leave with our heads held high, and our integrity intact. We are Middlesbrough, and THIS IS SPARTA...

I quit because due to some reason will not be able to spend time on this, had told Maniak long back but held off till Carlisle were in a good position, so the next manager would not be at a disadvantage.

This is not werewolf. One can just come online once or twice a week & still do the job.

That said, i can understand, no issues.

I have my reasons and in retrospect should not have signed up in the first place (quit werewolf midway too), but anyway no point in discussing.

Don't flatter yourself pal. Not emergency, but I never realised the player I took was cup tied.
 
Thanks to my shite cup runs, I only have to worry about Europe and relegation from Div1....GET IN!!!
 
In all liklihood, I'll be out of both cups after tomorrows game, so it'll be all hands to the pump for the push up the league.

I just need to keep remembering to sort my team out before games...

Snapped up Paulo DYBALA for 900k. He is an 18 year old (76 rated) playing in Premiera B in Argentina. Having a good season (27app, 17goals) and is likened to Aguero of a similar age when he played in Argentina. He is linked with Inter and AC milan this summer. Delighted with that.
