Season 67 - Week 4

[Blackkiwi]

Dammit dammit dammit. Second win.

1st world (top eleven) problems Buff?

[khris]

Well, as I'm tired of doing the same always I will do a little change next season.

I will change the name of Port Vale FC, I was thinking in Ajax because we have the jerseys now but, finally I will change this or, for Girona FC (place where I live, and the team finally was 3rd in second div. spain with and did not go directly to 1st division due a goal against near the 90'),

or, FC Copenhague / FC København.

And I will basically prove formation per season and do some tests.

Finally got to a hotel with decent wifi signal, so a small Palace Casuals update:
League: Up in first despite a home draw and a first defeat by more than two goals in the past two seasons.
Champions League: Qualified from Group stage as leader with one match in hand.
Cup: In Top 16, first leg away defeat 2-3 so all to play for in 2nd leg.
I must go on holiday more often...

Players: Got a $148M/8T offer for MC Jack McCaul (value $106M). Managed to find a replacement in the cut-throat TM for $96.9M/2T so well up on the deal...

And today I made a hale marry bid of the most expensive player on auction.. and this is the first message I see when I open my computer.



Wait what! no bidding war and just placed one token, Yes I know, I can't bellive it



Unbelievable

And the old player he is replacing has already recieved bids.... what a transfer day

[Gert Funck]

First team just negotiated



And I was just waiting out a lousy 2 token offer... sweet

[Buffs Mad]

Cup: MC Morrison smashes the Nord FA Pro-Striker Cartel and grabs a bottle of Bubbly, although his midfield partner Henderson is still wondering how he managed it. (That head high tackle and booking probably did for Henderson's chances of collecting the sparkling stuff.)

Buffs FC won 4-1 - Henderson (MC) scored 2, Morrison (MC) 1 and Right Winger Gauld rounded things off. Its thought Harper (ST) was in the starting line up but no one who watched the game is quite sure (a 7!).

League: The Buffs won 6-0 at 12th.

Buffs Mad sent out a strike partnership (a rare event) utilising 4-1-3w-2 but Naismith was injured early (8 days). A goal from Mulgrew (DMC) and 2 from Harper (ST) sent the Buffs in 3 up at halftime. MC Morrison, who had expected a rest, adopted the AMC role. In the second half Henderson (MC) & Morrison (MC) scored and Harper completed his hat-trick near the end.

More goals were expected but 6 is good enough to stay 3pts ahead and maintain a slight goal difference advantage. The statisticians once more adopted the Party Line and Harper received Magnum #12.

The Buffs main rival, having supported against us, has now decided friendship is the best policy. >.< He'll need to wait

EDIT: Harper is now 2nd in the league charts for goals, assists and ratings; MCs Henderson and Morrison are 3rd for Goals and Assists respectively.

League: Picked up a convincing 5:1 victory, but remain one point behind 1st and they defeated 3rd by a 3:1 scoreline. My MC/AMC/ST Wesley Sneijder picked up an injury, making the seasons injury count (ME 7 Opponent 3).

Cup: 1st minute yellow card for my Stud MC Sneijder (mentioned above) created some problems for this cup round. We jumped up 2:0 behind 12th and 19th minute goals from Paniagua and Artegea respectively, both assisted by Blatter. I subbed out Sneijder with a 2:0 advantage at the 52nd minute, and his replacement (Baldy) immediately lost the ball and the opponent pulled one back on the counter-attack. The score remained 2:1 for the duration of the match. I'll be w/o Sneijder for the home leg due to yellow card accumulation.

Champions: Tommorrow's match is meaningless as I've already clinched the group. Its just sit tight and see if the round of 16 match is against Group H's heavyweight? Crossing my fingers that they get their act together and win their group tomorrow, but if they don't, well we'll just deal with it when the time comes.

Palace Casuals stick to the top of the league after a thorough examination by League form team FC Brandenburg. Striker Catalin Neagu has been on indifferent form as of late, but came back with a fine solo goal - this is from the comments on the mobile App as I was watching it - first an attempted bicycle kick, then he nutmegged a defender, ran past two others, situated himself next to the keeper (?) and then shot the ball into the opposite corner of the goal... phew!! No wonder he got MoM...

The Palace Casuals Team Showcase thread has been updated with a newsreel-style update of the last four days' matches... thanks for reading
