[Ħăý Ķêł]

After 4 seasons of glory the season 5 was the better with my first treble

[Skidz]

Finished of on a high with a 2.0 win away, champions for the 7th year running but this year was special as we added the champions league cup aswell!


Leading goal scorer and best rated player for the season, what a debut Messi made! and even his strike partner Ronaldo did a great job as well!.
Scored 100 league goals! yeah baby!!!

Final League Table

Yes, 6 points was the final winning margin in the end, credit for OTTOMANS for pushing us all the way this season and caused us to make some mistakes in the 2nd half of the league season, However we were quite comfortable winners.



End of season review to follow shortly.

[HazmatCorntail]

I came into today simply needing a Draw to sneak into 7th place and survive a difficult league. Instead, I got another example of what a lousy season it's been. A handball in the box by Yaya Sanogo led to an early deficit, then he got a 2nd yellow to start the 2nd half with us down 2-nil. Then the injuries started, with my goalkeeper and right winger going down in a 15 minute span.

I'm very happy this season is over.

You do know that missing out on 7th is actually a good thing in this game?

[gazza]

Won the league(unbeaten) and the Champions League.
As an added bonus i managed NOT to swap my shiny new stadium for a couple of fields,a garden shed and half a dozen portaloos.

Yeah, I know, it's more about the way some of my players performed in doing so. It wasn't so much the end as the means.

[July Fourth]

Well Folks it's that time again...

July Fourth Season Review

Performance Of The Season
LaFruta 1-4 July Fourth (Champions League Semi-Final, 2nd leg)
Coming into the game from 1-2 down after losing the first leg at home, July Fourth were faced with a tough trip away at LaFruta who have been playing very well this season after they beat El Capo in the Quarter-Final, July Fourth played a great game and turned the tie around scoring 2 goals in each half to make the final.

Disappointment Of The Season
3 Defeats in the league, 6 in Total. (All 3 competitions)
We unusually lost a lot of matches by our high standards this season, But at least we lost them in the right places and recovered from 2 difficult situations in the Cup and CL this season.

Young Player of The Season
Luke Warmwater wins the award by DEFAULT!!! He is the only current U21 player in the squad.

July Fourth Players Review and Player Of The Season
The squad worked very hard in all 3 competitions to deliver a successful treble winning campaign, However Yossi Benayoun was a little disappointing this season compared to his other previous seasons at the club.

3RD... IVOR HARDY
Hardy was our best choice of the defenders this season from our current back 4, He was always winning the important tackles in the big games and this got him a huge mention in the running for POTS

2ND... STACEY PAPALEO
Stacey Papaleo was back to best form during this season and managed to hit the 40 goal mark for the 2nd time in 3 seasons paying back the dividends for training back to 9* at this stage in his career. Papaleo recieved 15 MOTM's this season which is the highest since Alex Zidane's record of 19 set back in L13/S13.

THE JULY FOURTH PLAYER OF THE SEASON IS...

Chano Petersen

You have to take your hat off to Chano Petersen, We haven't seen the best of him for 3-4 seasons but this season he has came right back and he went onto beat his club record of assists in a season by any 1 player by making 41 assists in compared to 39 that season. Petersen was also no stranger to scoring goals too, He finished joint 2nd July Fourth top scorer (Alongside Benayoun) on 21 goals this season. He was the driving force for winning the treble on this occasion.

Off The Pitch Performance

We made a loss of 118M this season, Possibly because we paid out more on wages on players this season than last and also played far less friendlies at the start of the season.

Board Meeting

No more major token investments will take place for the forseeable future. However we have farmed 600 tokens this season using various methods.
