Champions League Result




Well we got the Victory we wanted but under very strange circumstances!

He started as usual with 3N-5-2Flat & I started with 4-4-2 but blue arrows on both CM & both DC as He would be coming at me through the middle. The game starts & I am the only person watching so a bonus, then 8' my MC puts in a bad tackle & gets a yellow card, he is now down to 10 men & no sign of a sub so auto sub not set up another bonus. 13' another injury, I think he just fell over because nothing was mentioned in the comments, but more importantly he is down to 9 men another bonus. 35' later the score is still 0-0 & he is playing like he has 11 men on the pitch , but a draw is enough for me so no change. Now here is the funny part. 39' The other guy decides to watch the game, sees he has 2 injured so brings on 2 subs, then bang bang 2 quick goals 41' & 43' yes that's right for me . He must have been swearing & cursing at this point, so to rub salt into the wound I get a 3rd.

So an aggregate win 6-1 & through to the final for the 4th time.

Hope you do well in your bogus CL final

Champions League Final

Kick Off at 21:04 GMT



We had a couple of lucky escapes on the way to the Final winning only on away goals. So absolutely delighted to be there.



Our opponent is no mug & are 4.5 pts better Quality so we go into the game as underdogs at 7/4 while they are 10/11 fav.

The game will be played at the Lakeside Stadium, but there are not many seats so I would encourage the supporters to get there early. Also winning the toss gains a big advantage.

Champions League Result

Short & sweet we got beat 1-2 They played ND & I countered very well 1-1 at HT but the second half just wasn't to be 1-2 after 65' & then I through everything at their defence but sadly not to be. Looking forward to next season already

****NEWS FLASH****

Forget about Leddy completing the Cup double & a well earnt budget striken 2nd place in the league.
Forget about Cat Harrison recovering from a Tankable season to win on goal difference.
Forget about Pasq doing the League & CL double both in a last gasp push.

The bigest story this weekend is FC Croft winning away in the first round of the cup, after 3 disapointing seasons in this well sought after competition they come away with a very convincing away win. it may only be the prelimenary round in the cup to others but to the manager of FC Croft it is a confidence boost after a disappointing last season.



Even with all the support creating a 13% disadvantage (manager watching & 4 friends supporting - 3 in view) we still came away with 3 crucial away goals in a 1-3 victory. Lets hope this is not just a sweetener from the men above only to be taken away in the second leg. Could this be our season? Is it that the cup consists of teams from levels 1,2 & 3 - 4,5 & 6 - 7,8 & 9 ........ & the best chance you have of winning the cup is if you are level 3, 6 & 9 ..... or occasionally level 2, 5 or 8. What ever I have a good feeling about this season.
