Season 37

[July Fourth]

Scout buyer drew 1-1 at home in the CL. Surely it can't be happening again..

The game engine is churning out a lot of bad results lately. Scout buyers been getting it rough, I think your the only one that seems to have survived the great scout buyer game engine troll of season 37.

The annual mid season slump hit Massie Lodge this morning. Playing at home against a Dutch opponent running 7th in the League the lads were held to a 1-1 draw. The long trip from Sassenheim had no affect on the opposition who played the narrow diamond against our 451V. The manager being absent must have had an adverse affect. The result still leaves us 8pts clear with a couple of lower table games coming up in the next 2 days.

The lads made amends in the CL first leg 1/4 final. Hosting an Albanian outfit who played 3W-5-2, we started playing the V formation with little affect & were level at 1-1 at half time. The manager who decided to turn up to this clash changed the formation at half time to 4-1-3N-1-1 which certainly had the right affect with 2 unanswered strikes in the second half giving Massie Lodge a 3-1 advantage going into the second away leg.

Tough time of the year, still in all 3 competitions & there are no easy games in any of them.

Thursday Report.

LGE: GORAN FC 0-3 LONDON CITY
Things started bad for us when Luigi Mancini saw red after just 2 minutes. Willem Gentile put us in front on 10 minutes. We then lost DC, Jan Fredriksen to injury, before Teddy King made it 0-2, after 24 minutes. In the second half, Gentile got a second yellow, reducing us to 9 men. Rudolph Mueller replaced King in our reshuffled side, and he bagged a third for us after 72. We then held on until the final whistle without any more misfortune. Seamus Flanagan won m.o.m.

CL: LONDON CITY 1-1 PARKSIEDLUNG FC
We once again struggled in the first leg of this tie. The visitors took the lead in the 23rd minute, but we equalised five minutes later, when Lukas Duran scored from a free kick (28). We pressed for the winner, but the away team's tactics of "parking the bus", denied us.

After today's extraordinary league match, we will be going into tomorrow's game with 2 players injured, and 4 players suspended. We will have to dig deep into our squad, and just hope.
Outside the games, DMC, Gary Tracey has left the club after a training ground bust-up with manager Billy Wheeler, when it was announced that a new DC/DR/DMC, Andreas Costa would be joining the squad.

Good luck in CL second round :P

Here is my version...

Big match against 2nd place tomorrow. A bit worried about that one, only beat him 2-0 at home and despite being better than him, he has had some good results this season. Can't afford to lose my unbeaten record.. He plays a 3N-2W-2N-1-2 so the butterfly and 4-5-1 V is out of the question. Instead, I'll play 3W-1-3W-2(AMC)-1 with Petersen and Cazorla playing behind Suarez. A win will almost guarantee the title and a loss will be a bit of a piss take and squeeky bum time as we still have to play 3rd and 4th place away... But we all know how the game engine behaves!!

Tomorrow is a bit of a boring day for T11, with it being day 20 of a season, meaning every manager has only got 1 league game as the cup takes a break between quarter-finals and the semi-finals, not sure what exactly the plan is for our team, 18 points ahead in the league, we could have this wrapped up with 6 games left of the season.
