Drew 2:2 in the CL to go out 5:4 on aggregate coutesy of a 83rd minute equaliser from a 2nd corner. Ultimately the fault was my strikers - only 5 shots on target from my 13 vs 9 from 13 for him. Bah!

Did NORDEUS was today celebrating a CL TROLL DAY.....
Champions League: Buffs FC win 3-0 at home to progress to the next round.
Opposition marched out in 5-XStyle and so Buffs Mad booted each and every one of his underforming no-marks up the backside and onto the park until until they settled in a 3-5-2V.
The Buffs went 2 up in the first half and although the opposition got some shots the commentator was not impressed enough to mention them. Soon after the restart it was 3 and Buffs Mad brought on left back McLeish and handed out the pipes and slippers to settle the lads into a 4-5-1V - job done. Man of the Match went to sub McLeish but the opposition GK deserved it more for some fine saves.
Goals: Law (24), Baxter (39), Johnstone (49).
Next up is a home league match, so no chance of a win there.
Win against scout team - Jose FC. I win (2-1).

Galactico FC update:
League: The Galacticos played two league matches since last post and both were very good wins
Destroyed the team last in the league 12-0 to give the Galacticos their biggest win of the season so far with MR Dino, ST Meftouh and ML Abdul Kadir all grabbing hat-tricks. The Galacticos manager arrived at the game when the team was already 9-0 up giving him a big surprise but left the stadium smiling and happy. 'They earned their rest this time' he said to the media giving a cheeky grin.
League match #2 was a match against the team 5th in the table with the Galacticos manager absent all game, however the result was still a Galacticos victory which proved crucial in their grip on the CL spot leaving their manager even more happy.
It was quite an eventful game with two injuries to both the Galacticos right midfielder Dino and his replacement Milovanovic, but the Galacticos manager set up his team so well that he even had a sub for the sub and the game drew out 2-0 with ML Bouwmans assisted by Meftouh and Meftouh himself scoring a penalty after Dino was injured settling the tie. The other bright side was his MC being injured after the first goal which probably led to his 4 rating at the end of the match.
The results are still inconclusive though as the leader and the team in 2nd have not dropped any points and if this continues the Galacticos will have to accept their final position in the table a few games early. In fact the guy in 1st STILL HAS A PERFECT 15-0-0 record which the Galacticos aim to bloody kill in the return fixture and gain revenge served COLD.
Champions League: The Galacticos lost the 2nd leg of the CL top 16 tie 3-2 at home but go through 6-3 on aggregate to reach the quarter final stage of the CL for the 4th season running. Their opponent will either be BVB Dortmund or Gia Bao FC which both have similar ratings so the Galacticos expect a tough matchup
However, the managers verdict on this defeat was the fact that it was worrying their DR with corner specialist SA was acting overpower mode and resulted in them scoring 2 goals from his corners despite Galacticos DC Kompany having Aerial Defender (wow).
There were some debutants with another GK making his debut with a 5 rating and will be instantly sold (Yes I'm ruthless) and Poor rating for his reliable DL Fondyke but will get plenty of chances due to his overall good seasons. Meftouh got rated 9 but do not win MOTM as the opponent gained victory.
CL 1/8 2nd leg @home: 2-0 win after extra time.
League: Lost 2-1 against the 2nd, he scored on a counter in 3rd minute. Only a minute later one of my MC's got yellow and the free kick was turned into a corner kick by my GK. My DC was then confused and thought he was the goalkeeper, so hands and penalty were the result: 2-0 behind after only 4 minutes.
I thought it couldn't get any worse but then in 35th minute my MC got a 2nd yellow card, so for some reason I get more cards when I play with normal tackling than with hard tackling.
Fortunately I played better with 10 players and halfway 2nd half I finally scored the 2-1. After that I continued missing a lot of chances resulting in my 2nd loss in the league (my lead is reduced to 4 points now).![]()
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
No!
Another stupid feckin home draw. Another stupid feckin FK at the end. Another stupid balls-up be the feckin ao called Manager
6 draws at home. >.<
Enough already.![]()
Well that was hella close. Despite me having the better formation and team and also having my players where they should be (he had an ST as DMC and an MC as ST) he still managed to score the first goal and I had to clench my asscheeks really hard during this match and actually play defensive to get through. What the hell Nordeus, get your **** together!!

Nonsense aside. Buffs FC and old rivals Fenerbahce SK actually had another very good match tonight.
The Buffs had won the corresponding away fixture earlier in the season 2-1 but it was a tight affair.
Buffs stepped out in a 4-5-1V and Fenerbahce came out in a ND (although they are also known for their 4-1-3-2 and 4-3-3). This was no surprise and even while Buffs hold the better record in head to heads its always close.
Buffs Mad ordered a start in Defensive Counterattacking mode because Fenerbahce always come out fast. The start was frantic with Fenerbahce forcing several corners but the Buffs were breaking fast too, smacking the bar on the 5th minute. The 5th corner on 9 mins however proved 1 too many and their Striker nodded the visitors in front.
It was end to end and the stats (apart from corners) were very level. Although the commentary favoured the Buffs, Fenerbahce were creeping ahead on shots. The Buffs were absorbing the vistors threat well now and the appearance of a supporter helped swing things slightly their way. On 30 mins the switch from Counters On to Off was made and the Buffs attacked. The right and left backs were getting forward and wingers seeing plenty of the ball but the visiting defence was blocking most. McNeill picked up the Buffs customary booking on 33 mins but McGregor saved the shot over the wall. At the other end McCoist missed 2 good chances and Baxter, on one of the rare occasions he found space, tickled the side netting.
Half time came an went with no changes. Fenerbahce started briskly again but the Buffs soon gained a foothold. Both defences were solid and chances were hard to come by. The visitors replaced a striker like for like. Just after 60 mins Buffs Mad sent on James McFadden for the fast tiring Jim Baxter - he had worked hard but couldn't break loose of his marker. 3 mins later McFadden cut inside and poked it through to Johnstone who came in at the back post for a tap in. The visiting Manager must've been ready to make the change because on came a midfielder for the AMC as they went 4-1-3-2. But the Buffs were still in the ascendancy and probed at the defence. On 70 minutes lone striker Ally McCoist was rested and on came Denis Law. Soon Right Back Richard Gough surged down the flank again but this time he got free and centred a cross. Law stooped in a tangle of bodies and somehow got a flick on it. In off the foot of the post and it was 2-1, 76 minutes gone.
On 80 minutes Fenerbahce got another FK but this time it hit the wall. "Was the home hoodoo fixed?" thought Buffs Mad. The answer came on the 82nd minute when the visitors' left back Jamie Carragher was downed on the edge of the box. Up he got to take the kick, a floating lofted ball to the back stick - where MC Ucan buried it.
"Not again!" screamed Buffs Mad. Yes again, another home draw.
The Buffs actually moved up the table to 5th but dropped 6 pts behind the leader. Ordinarily Buffs Mad would think its a long shot but doable. However, with no home wins yet in the league the usual hopeful confidence was subsiding. One game at a time now.
Expressed above is my own opinion. ☻ Your results may vary.
