AEPRE FC - Important Autopilot Announcement
Due to the upcoming exams from May 5 to 21, 2015. AEPRE FC, as well as several other teams I'm managing, will enters a period of autopilot for a total of 18 season days.

That means there will be no forum posts of any kind during these periods. I might be able to watch a few matches, as I'm studying for my exams.

Because of this, transfer activities may not happen during the early part of the upcoming season.

After the exam on May 21, AEPRE FC will resumes their normal competitive pace.

Daddy is not angry, just disappointed very disappointed

[Krishna Sadhana]

League: A 1-1 draw away to one of our closest competitors for the title ensures that we stay clear off 2nd place by four points, with Ali-al Saachez's opener cancelled by Bojan Prolic's free kick. Rather disappointed since we created a number of chances, but then again the home side has only lost ONCE at home throughout the season.



GK sector needs some patching though...my usual GK got a 4. That's right. A freaking 4.
Next up for us is a home game against Vega boon boonFC!

[Buffs Mad]

Cup: Today Buffs Mad started with a knee-trembler.

Then he went to the match.

They were to quiver again.

EDIT: For the TL;DR crowd....here



For those that will read here's the proof I used 'poetic licence' to link the Robertsons' combo from 2 unrelated events.



Now the Boring bit

Tiger Crossa FC came out of the blocks quickly but the Buffs withstood and began pushing after 10 mins. Striker Harper was gettng chances but couldn't take them. A flurry of activity just before HT by the opposition pushed the Buffs back but Goram's goal wasn't really threatened. Buffs Mad elected not to change Harper yet, "Give him time." Tiger Crossa FC started the second half the way they finished the first - from the Buffs restart Tiger C had 2 decent attacks but it was the long clearance from the second that set up the gut wrenching away goal. The counter-attack was launched and the opposition 1on1 striker split the Buffs defence in 2. So 1on1 striker v 1on1 Stopper GKand......and.....and he passed and it was coolly slotted home by the fast approaching MC.

The Buffs huffed and puffed but struggled to bring home the bacon. After another couple of failed attempts by Harper his time was up on 68 mins as Dalglish came on. (Harper rated 7 later, but can't be faulted for effort )

It was end to end stuff from that point with the Buffs creating more decent chances, 5 to 3.

As the clocked ticked towards the 85th minute Buffs Mad was looking at needing a good away win to progress. On 87th minute DL Andy Robertson started the move with an interception and took it forward before finding left winger and namesake John Robertson (those 2 make the Commentary difficult). Robertson cut inside and unleashed the shot - which was blocked out for a CK. He raced for the ball and drove in the cross. If the Buffs eventually get through this tie then DC Nicol will remember his 258th Buffs' match as he rose and bulleted the header that tied things up. 1-1. Unfortunately in the 1 further chance his defensive partner Alan Hansen could not make the same impact - as Dalglish bore down on the visting defence, he slipped it to Alan "I'll get a nose-bleed up here" Hansen....but he screwed it wide. *phweeep*

Next time.

Steady the Buffs!

Little update my end.

First match of the day saw Rhondda Rovers play the first leg of the Cup at home to Urgulu in the morning, but I was unable to attend the first half due to other issues. However, I was able to show a presence and, in the end, we had a strong 2-0 win to take back to their place.



In the League, the reserves plus Chikin ran out very convincing 6-0 winners, the match pretty much over in the 14th minute after a quickfire 5 minute period saw us 3-0 up. Chikin was deservedly man of the match with 4 of the goals, with 3 of them coming via free kicks.



The dirty twats had about 3-4 yellow cards, of which one was sent off with a straight red for spitting and another was very lucky to still be on the pitch after two other late tackles after the initial booking.

With this victory, the gap increase to 14 points with 6 get remaining. If I win and other results go my way, the League is mine again.

On one final note, the youth setup has been upgraded and now work has begun on the stadium to increase the capacity to 7,000.

[July Fourth]

Can July Fourth Win The Treble Again?

For the first time in several seasons and since the server reshuffle July Fourth are now with a great chance to win the treble, We have considerably strengthened our team as we head towards the most important matches and weighing up the threats to us in this latest treble attempt.

League

Our form since mid season hasn't been that great until the last 2 matches with 4-0 & 5-0 wins respectively for us to still hold a 4 point advantage over now Ramsay Cabs who have been the form team recently, We play them at home in the penultimate league match of the season but hopefully we can get good results between then to make the match less important towards the outcome of the title. Blue Eyes are still outsiders being 6 points behind us and Janderinho have fallen out of contention.

A Strong finish from July Fourth this season should win us the title.

Champions League

July Fourth have made it through to the Semi-Finals without too much trouble this season and we are expected to beat our Semi-Final opponents PAOKARA who are mainly a 5* team, However should we progress we are expected to face Boca Juniors or our fellow qualifiers from our group KKS Lech Poznan, When we played KSS Lech Poznan earlier this season we won away but lost at home but we have strengthened since then. If we were to face Boca Juniors then we will have a very tough final as most of their players are 7* players.

Cup

July Fourth have also battled through many tough rounds to reach the Semi-Final stage of the competition this season and are the favourites to win the competition after Chelsea were eliminated in the Quarters. We face Cotanakspor who are mainly a 6* strength average team and if we play very well in the first leg at home we should get the job done. We could face either FK RENA or GALATASARAY in the final should we get there and both of those teams are a little stronger than Cotanakspor.

Verdict and Current Odds

Now that July Fourth have strengthened our team to most players being at 8* average for the remainder of the season, If we can couple this with a strong finish in all 3 competitions then there is no reason why we can't lift all 3 trophies come the end of the season, But we don't know that much about our opponents and also whether "Troll Mourinho" can strike at anytime too. Plus also I have real life duties with work so some matches I will not be able to watch depending on kick off times. We estimate our current chances of winning the treble is around odds of 13/8.

July Fourth as we know have a rich history of winning the treble in the past but have not done so for some time. Can we win it again this season now we have a great chance?

[Buffs Mad]

League: Its a poor day on home turf for the Buffs. Following the draw in the Cup, they slip again with a loss to 6th, 2-1.

They're at home again tomorrow for the CL.

Ofc its not entirely shocking since the away match in Round 7 was a 0-0. What is shocking however is Buffs' Goalkeeper Andy Goram rated 5 - only the second current Buffs player to do that this season and only his third rating below 7.

Goram "didn't even see" the first goal and wasn't mentioned at the second. Of the 2 saves he made one was "a parry rather than a save" and gave away a CK. His only other mention was not a save - a "diving interception" - so god knows what else he got up to.

But, who cares >.< 2nd lost and we now lead two teams by 4 pts and play the first of them tomorrow.

Btw, another injury sees the light injury period of the last 2 seasons slip from the memory - 12 injuries in the last 9 days, including 2 broken legs and a broken foot.

Steady the Buffs? *whimpers*

suggestion of a diet with more milk


no commet:: except both 7 star players

[pcmacdaniel]

Poor day here as our triple crown hopes are basically over, following a 4:1 loss at home in the cup. I used a 3w-5-2 V style against opponents 3w-1-4-1-1. I began on normal mentality, but changed to an attacking mentality when we were down 2:1 in the second half. From there we conceded twice more.

So once again, my team performed at its best, when not using an attacking approach. Never really thought the triple crown was a possibility this season, so 3rd is better than I had expected at seasons beginning...

League saw us remain atop the league on goal differential on the backs of a 10:0 win...
