Season 36

I'm so

Firstly, congratulations to all the Cup winners today.

Massie Lodge this morning annexed their second Cup in 3 years after a nail biting 5-3 victory over an unpronouncable opponent. Down 2-3 at half time the lads fought strongly in the second to over come the stronger & higher level team. A terrific performance, especially considering the trials & tribulations throughout the League season. Winners are grinners

In the League ML went a step closer to securing 3rd position with 3-1 away victory. Our rival running 4th went down to the team running 5th so we now have a 5 point buffer with 2 games to go.

A friend in Level 6 won his Cup today against a Level 8 team, big effort. He is going for the treble after having won his League already & has the CL Final tomorrow. Glad he is not in Level 7, he'd probably take Massie Lodge to the cleaners, lol.

Good luck to everyone in the CL Final tomorrow, & in their final 2 League games, trust all goes to plan.

48 hours ago, I was on top of the world. Into the Cup Final and had a great chance of winning the league. How times change.

Today's games.

LGE: No Chance fc (home). Won 2-1 (King, Flanagan). MOM: Luigi Mancini.
Got the win that keeps me in with a very slim chance of winning the league, but I now need the leader to lose at least one of his last two matches, to have any chance, and he's so far unbeaten. Got to go and support the 4th place team, at home to the 1st, on the last day of season, which kicks-off 1 hour before mine.

CUP FINAL: Ibrahim fc (Wembley). Lost 1-2 (Kennedy).
A disastrous start, saw City 2 goals down after only 16 mins. We changed our tactics on the half-hour, by withdrawing DR (Ayala), and throwing MC (Mueller), into the fray, and switching to hard attacking. Kennedy pulled a goal back on the hour, but the team just couldn't find an equaliser.

So what looked like a promising season, will probably end up with 2 runners-up medals.

Well after being knocked out of the CL earlyer fans set their hopes up for the CUP.
I was a match one the edge but still fair. With a 1 - 1 in the 88th minute the referee saw his chance and gave a penatly in favor to the other team resulting in a 2 - 1 loss. FCP management are wrinting an official complaint with suspisions that the referee was bribed with a large amount of tokens.

In the league we had an easy match with a 7 - 0 victory. With this victory #1 in the league is up for grabs tommorrow.
We are still defending a 5 points lead to the #2. With 2 matches left to play a victory will win us the league.

Damn... thats a harsh way to lose the cup final, I've been through similar in the past in Champions League finals mind, just silly things that cost me a few CL titles.

i hope the ref was part of recent interpol investigations into 700+ of fixed matches and over 400 refs and players

Now at 4th position, 3pts behind 3rd team and 2pts ahead 5th team. Just hope to qualify CL next season. My team also reach CL final. Good luck my team!

150,000 July Fourth fans are queuing outside the club shop eager to get hold of our new DVD we are releasing this morning...

Oh, man, am I getting nervous. 16 hours until CL final kickoff. Shifted our league game to evening, got the players ready, we've scouted all our opponents games this season, have a fair idea of what formation he'll be using and we've gone over our options, decided on our formation and tactics, as well as how we'll adjust to his predicted adjustment! (Am I overthinking this?) I want this so bad i considered scheduling a friendly with him just before kickoff, using my subs - he only has 16 players. BUt, no, we'll be sporting.

Today was supposed to be a casual day with only a league game against bottom feeders and the league title wrapped up days ago. But the boys got into the spirit of things and crushed our hapless opponent 7-0. Kupalang was enjoying himself and earned a hattrick to give him 19 goals on the season, 7 ahead of his nearest competition. Surely he'll have a Golden Boot to place in his trophy case.

Then my brother's team nearly gave us a heart attack as we came by this afternoon to find the boys playing a friendly!! But, no worries, as the boys continued their fine form and put through 5 goals in an easygoing match that left them no more fatigued than a cardio session.

Now .. which Rangers show up tomorrow?
Good luck to those of you waiting to play your matches.
My condolences to those who have lost heartbreaking finals.
Congratulations to those who have taken home trophies yesterday and today.
Which category will I be in tomorrow afternoon?

I'm not nervous at all about my champions league final today, in fact its the expectation on our shoulders of our team being fully expected to win and win well, like they did last season by winning the final 4-0 last season, its basically 7* vs 5*, but as you know its a final, a game over at least 90 minutes and anything can happen as we know, I'm around 15 hours to kick off as well, We have an away game in the league in the early afternoon just after 1pm which doesn't really have any importance other than to stay unbeaten this season, chance to give a few subs a game I think.
