We had slight possession and they had slightly more shots on target and all the pressure, we took the lead on 25 minutes when Chicharito headed in a Sanchez corner but they equalized 4 minutes later when they hit us on the counter and they took the lead just before half time with a header from a corner, I changed formation in the second half and it was plain to see it was not going to be our night, they made their subs and had 7 in their own half and we could not break that down and then they injured Veuthey, nice.

Goals: Chicharito (25), Cuerda (29), Overgard (39) MOTM: Andersen

Team Talk: Rubbish, Title gone now!

At the limit but you got all 3 points :D

A good result for us 3-1, 1 more hard game tomorrow and if we will pass it, I don't think somebody can stop us to win the league for the 18th time in row!

Er. no we lost!

LONDON CITY 2-2 AC GREENFIRE

We twice came from behind in this lower half match up. Bottom of the table Greenfire, gave us a hard game, but in the end we came out of it unbeaten. After a goalless first half, Our visitor's took the lead a minute after the resumption. Chris Pigott headed home our first equaliser just on the hour mark, from a cross by Wayne Dixon. Straight from the kick-off, AC Greenfire raced down the field and fired a shot past Rhys Williams to restore their lead. After 73 minutes, we sent on new signing, Tom Allen to play alongside his older brother in central defence, and within a minute we were back on level terms again, as Shinji Noda produced some individual brilliance to claim his first goal for the club. In the final few minutes, opposition defender, Sunden collected his second yellow of the game, leaving them with 10 men for the remaining couple of minutes. Defender Declan Jones won man of the match.

TEAM TALK: The point we gained today closes the gap between us and 7th place, to 8 points, and we play away to them tomorrow. So our fate could be sealed then. Fingers crossed.

Playing the bottom of the league do I played all reserves and lower level players instead of first choice players...,.i took a chance ......turns out it didn't matter 9-0

we are again at the first place in standings

http://www.upload.ee/image/3643912/S...e_01.01.23.png

....... but the most important thing is that:
After 6 seasons of absence we have reached the Final in the Cup
http://www.upload.ee/image/3643913/S...e_01.08.38.png

this time will be very difficult for us to win the Cup, but we will do everything to bring back the Cup in our trophy cabinet

our adversaries are two levels above us and have a very strong team , but we have two days to reach (thanks to PT) their quality.

CL second leg in an hour. Won 0-2 first leg so looking for a draw only :)

Well this was completely uncalled for.. After 2-0 it was game since we won 0-2 in the first leg away. Hopefully we can perform like this in the final to revenge for our fallen brother!

Our sub team was very unlucky to have lost 4-1 in the First leg due to having 2 away games at 4 AM & 5AM and the CL was the second match .. Players were tired and concceded 3 goals in the second half

So if anyone is still wondering whether players' conditions are important, they are!!

A very important victory for you, good luck in your race for the title!

Thanks for all the luck I can get. :) Normally I'd try and support against #1 (and #4, the jerky) but I have a busy few days here and might not even attend my own fixtures. I'd like opinions on what y'all would face this with:

This is my current whim: Attachment 13812

FC Dreamhunter & FC Berkshire - The Foggy Dew

Both teams went out this early morning from the Champions League with really surprising 2-3 defeats at home. Due to some connection problems I could join the Berkshire-game only at halftime and after a 1-1 draw in the first leg we were already 1-3 behind against a team with a present manager. We were only able to score one more goal. This is a really disappointing loss and lessens the joy of reaching the Cup-Final yesteday with an 11-1 aggregate score of both matches. And yes, we also won the League. But still.... :mad:

Dreamhunter has won the first game away 2-1 and we were really optimistic to advance to the finals - but this time it was the mistake of the manager... I missed because of other circumstances the start of the game and we had an illegal formation - so we went behind 0-2 and 1-3. The last goal we scored in the 90th minute - too little, too late. So we lost because of the away-goals :mad:

FC Sakura already had sealed its Championship - tonight this team will have to defend a 2-0 victory in the first leg of CL-Semifinal. Let's hope that one out of three teams at least makes it to the finals...

I am really disappointed and also a bit mad at myself. Unbelievable to blow those two matches... :mad::mad::mad::mad:

well with 4 games left i`m 2pts clear of 2nd and 12pts clear of 5th & 6th with 2nd playing 5th today while i`m away to 7th, my game k`o before 2nd so need to win for two reasons one to be sure of champions league and 2nd to put pressure back on second, what does not help in the 4 remaining games 3 are away :(

anyone ?

This season went way to fast for us, maybe because of the strange results from the start who sent us out from CUP and CL but we didn't gave up and we are here to win the league for the 18th time so far we never lose a league title!

4 games left but more then sure if we will be able to win today the league will be our again!

https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...00151869_n.png

Also one of our target is to score again more then 100 goals but I don't think this is a problem for us.

well it`s tighter than ducks ass with a two horse race both level on point`s after i drew 1-1 and for second day how ?? with domination

i`m on top by G,D + 5 but 2nd are slight fav as i have two away games compared to their one but i have the tougher run in with playing 4th tomorrow and 5th next day

edit; on the plus side i`m now in champions league next season so i can know go all out for league

Out of the CL.. we probably will get 3rd place

League Round 23
Milo Academy (133.3) 1-4 July Fourth (144.0) - Hogan,Papaleo,Petersen and Beckett. MOTM: Hogan.
Milo Academy 4-4-2 with AML instead of ML, then 4-4-1-1 - July Fourth 3-6-1 V.
Petersen still needs 4 assists for July Fourth club record.

League round 23

We lost this important match. The goal is gone for 26-0-0. We started with 4-5-1 v style but we came quick behind. In the SH we got 2 goals quick against us. What a bad perfomance we had only 3 shots on goal. We have now 2 points clear against the nr 2. In the 73' we switched to 4-4-2 and this was a better option. Only too late. We scored quick after switching the formation. I can say for sure that 4-5-1 v style not really work against this formation. I had the feeling that 4-4-2 should do the trick. Next time I stay by my own feeling.

Scoreline

4' Chahjoei

MOTM: Rezai, but my ML/AML Soto scored a 9

http://i1348.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3e4c4d3a.png

I could use some advice.

I got a couple of hours until the 2nd leg of CL semi. I lost the first leg 1-0. I'm loathe to change my unorthodox primary formation, because it's a winner, but there are two formations I struggle against, and my opp uses one of them.

3w-5-2

My squad doesn't have an attmidd on the left or centre, and my only defender on the right is totally useless, even tho he's the second highest q in my squad. He misses open goals, just never contributes and gets 4-5 ratings, so I am loathe to play him.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Sigh.. i decided to play 451 v. Played that 6 star defender on the right and a midfielder on the left as attmidd left. Both of them 6 stars, both get **** ratings. It started off great, I had the early pressure and scored with my defender on the left with a header on 7 minutes. Then at 15 they equalised. Which would've meant I'd have to win by 2 goals... The whole first half after they scored was all comments about them attacking. Even though i had 20-25% more possesion and my shots were going up the same as theirs. Fortunately I've got some boss defenders. Even the dud right back was making saving tackles. But it doesn't account to much if you can't score. When your star striker is through on goal and can't even hit the target, or your free kick star hits the ball into the wall, you know it ain't your day.

And of course I got the second goal. Just after I changed formation to 3n-5-2 vstyle. One of their mids got a second yellow and Incedemir scored the free kick. I don't know if it was from losing a man or me changes tactics, or a bit of both, but I had a bunch of pressure at the end and finished up with 19 shots to their 13.

I just couldn't get that third goal...

Until the 89th minute when INCEDEMIR did it again!! He cracked one from 25 metres and their goalkeeper didn't even see it! He should've gone to specsavers.

League, Round 23

United Til I Die 1-1 Purple Army

United Til I Die 99.3 3N-5-2V then 3N-2N-2W-3 - Purple Army 96.1 4-1-2N-1-2 Narrow Diamond

We had possession and pressure and slaughtered them on shots on target, Veuthey opens the scoring with a crashing drive on 2 minutes but they equalize 8 minutes later and then we lay siege to their goal but cannot score as we go into the break, into the second half it is more of the same we totally bombard them but just cannot convert, so have to settle for the draw.

Goals: Veuthey (2), Nedelcu (10) MOTM: Veuthey

Team Talk: Totally hammered them but the winner never came, at least we stopped the run of defeats.

One Sided game... A sick performance my Meidanis with 5 goals.. he is the MOTM
Goals : Meidanis (7,37,42,49,66) , Ousios (8) , Manolakakis (32) , Mori (56,73) , Bukac (86)

I almost didn't post this here and was going to go looking for the 'unsatisfactory results' thread but no, here it must be posted.

League

7th (them/ they/their) v 1st (me/we)

Playing the same formation

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/17/ra6e9e3u.jpg

In the 8th minute they shoot from distance and it deflects off our defender. Does it go out of play?
No, they score 1-0

Minute 15, my defender trips over a blade of grass and is injured. I'm watching so send on a sub who arrives 6 minutes later!!

A booking for us in 21 is followed by a booking and a penalty in the 27.

Does my keeper get a hand to it?
No, he gets sent the wrong way
2-0 down

Half time and it's looking bad.

After the restart we get a double corner and get 1 back, we need the draw for the league title.

20 minutes from time we get a free kick in a dangerous position :^$

Fast round the wall, keeper doesn't move, we've only gone and equalised.
2-2.

Best player on our team gets a nice pass from the left and we get a third in the 86th minute, the crowd goes wild and the title comes back to croft park.

Reserves playing for the remainder of the season to ensure we have the best available for the cup and CL

Finally found my way back to the internet.
Crazy provider who *&^* up all things :s.

After 23 matches played im 3 points ahead of the number 2( still to meet day after tomorrow)
Reached the final of CL though. Nice cash bonus.

Saving my training points. still 120 to spend next season
