I have to say, that will be a very sad day for London City to see a club legend like Seamus Flanaghan leave the club, he has done wonders for you over the last few seasons.

After FC Saint lost earlier in the day Harrogate managed to win 2-1 and open up a 17 point gap now at the top of the table.
Sad to see us leak an easy goal from a corner but still only 3 conceded so far is good
<3 Spartacus :D
Thats all you have left to play for now is the perfect record. On my second account earlier I got away with a 1-1 draw in a tough away game to stay unbeaten on 16-4-0, the second team is on 16-1-3 with better goal difference so 1 bad result could cost me the unbeaten record and the league too.
July Fourth 4-2 Thai Team League Round 21
July Fourth 104.4 3N-1-3W-1-2 - That Team 88.9 4-1-2-1-2 ND
I decided to rest 6 key players for the CL game due shortly after the league game this afternoon against Ttrabzonspor and even played the 2 youths since I was top of the league by 11 points and no unbeaten/perfect record to chase and we still won against the 2nd bottom club at home. Miku put is infront early again, seems to be a habit now for us and Vasko scored a free-kick 2 minutes later, with a weakend team and a couple of players OOP the Thai Team fought back to 2-2 in the second half through both goals from Lybohy then near the end Novotny scored a long range shot and the provided a corner for Rocky to header it home.
Goals: Miku (24) Vasko (26) Lybohy (70,73) Novotny (78) Rocastle (83) MOTM: Vasko.

I'm affraid of another stupid changes in this ****ty game....guess will see next seasonAttachment 4321Attachment 4321

Champions League Semi-Final Preview
Ttrabzonspor (94.5) vs July Fourth (104.4) Today
July Fourth (104.4) vs Ttrabzonspor (94.5) Wednesday
Weve made it quite confortably to the Semi-Final without too much trouble with big first leg win over a Thai Team and not much threat from Coloz United who were considered a threat at the beginning of the competition to my chances, this is another team I consider a threat too and both of us are unbeaten in the CL this season so something has to give. Ttrabzonspor are a full 5* team with a semi-active manager that does not normally watch games, but on paper not a push over for July Fourth by any means, they prefer 4-4-2 Classic with a good partnership with Dursan 18 goals and Agudelo 15 goals this season, Other than that its difficult to tell where goals are coming from this team and they only have a small squad of 15 players. July Fourth have all their key players available except for Chuck Norris and Zidane has recovered from injury. Novotny and Vasko are on Yellows.
Odds to Qualify:
July Fourth 1/8 Ttrabzonspor 5/1
Match Odds:
1st Leg: Ttrabzonspor 11/2 Draw 3/1 July Fourth 4/9
2nd Leg: July Fourth 2/7 Draw 4/1 Ttrabzonspor 8/1
Prediction: July Fourth to go through by about a 4 goal winning margin.
The other Semi-Final: Dark Horses Hurray FC vs Kadir's GALATASARAY.
I just looked at the games already played today in my league and Eldon F have ruined there aim of going 0-0-26 by winning 3-1 against the 2nd bottom team

Ttrabzonspor 0-5 July Fourth Champions League Semi-Final 1st Leg
Ttrabzonspor 94.5 4-4-2 Classic - July Fourth 104.4 3N-1-3W-1-2
My decision to leave 6 first team players out for the league pays handsome dividends as July Fourth were simply awesome this afternoon in their 1st leg against Ttrabzonspor and clearing the path to the final, July Fourth would of been expected to win the game but not by a margin as such as this. We won a free-kick in the 2nd minute and Mensah got it up ad over the wall to beat the keeper to put us infront, If there was anyone for Ttrabzonspor that had a good game it was Oliphant who just seemed to get in the way and block everything off. But 1 man alone isn't going to stop a good team from July Fourth from scoring goals, after the rest of first half saw the 2 teams cancelling each other out, right at the end Michu was able to skill his way past a defender and put us 2-0 up at HT, Early on the second half Papaleo broke the defensive line with a great run with the ball and cut it back to Ramirez to hit it into the roof of the net, July Fourth were now in control and piled the pressure on for more goals but just as we thought that we were settling for 3-0, we decided to make an attacking tactical chance and bring Rocky off and Play Zidane and L.McNamara as AMR and AML respectively, this also paid off as immediately L.McNamara won the ball from a opponent ran with it, cut inside and shot low to score and our final attack saw Michu playing a through ball to Novotny who happened to be forward at this time and he tucked it underneath the keeper and into the goal.
Goals: Mensah (2) Michu (44) Ramirez (50) L.McNamara (81) Novotny (88) MOTM: Michu.
We now wait to 6.20PM for the first leg between Hurray FC and GALATASARAY... Would like to know what normally wins between 4-3N-3 vs 4-1-3W-2
Great match for us, but we lose 1-2. We able to control the possesion and awarded a penalty kick at m74. Unluckily our striker missed the penalty. The visitor found their winning goal at m82. We still optimist to go to the final.
We also win 8-0 in league match before,12 pts clear of the top
Champions league preview - Perfect Tactics (47.5) vs Kabol FC (41.5)
This match shows 2 teams on form go head to head in this CL semi-final. Perfect Tactics better off with a 6 point quality average but this will be no easy tie as Kabol FC have a semi-scouted team. Early team news is that Kabol has changed their formation yet again and we are currently sitting on an asymmetrical formation to be changed in-play. They could be playing a 4-1-3-2, 4-1-2-1-2 ND or 4-2-3-1, either way we may opt for the 4-5-1 v, WM or my secret formation depending on the formation.
No injury worries for Perfect Tactics although we do have 6 players sitting on yellow cards. One main change for Perfect Tactics is Nascimento comes in for Suarez.
Match odds:
Perfect Tactics: 3/10, Draw 4/1 Kabol FC 6/1
Small update on the last days. We got kicked out the CL for some odd reason.

By the way the season is going I got a feeling I might even loose #1 in the league on the last day or so.

League, Matchday 21
New Team (1st, Q32, 4-3-2W-1/3-3-2W-2 2nd half) VS Basgaza (4th, Q23,5 , 3-1-4-2)
http://i50.tinypic.com/2yytn9v.png
A very important match for us as we wanted to stay put at first place alone. WIth the tiny margin's victory of the 3rd place (1-0) and Bakuretsu to play later, we had to win this first of two last hard matches.
Things didn't start really smooth for New Team as their manager had a baptism to attend and was late to the start, forgettin even to leave the team organized on a 4-1-2-1-2 while leaving anyway a decent formation on the 4-5-1 V. As Coach Mad arrived New Team was already dominating the ball possession (65%) and there were already more than three missed chanches on our side. At minute 20 Coach Mad sends in Karimi (MC) taking out the Russian DMC Goryushkin, and the pressure raises more; after another three or four occasin wasted with wide shoots or good blocks by the keeper, Hutton receives in the area and goes for it scoring the so awaited 1-0 (43'), ending the first half with Bagsaza unable to score even one tiny coloured action.
The seconf half opens ferociously with New Team initially raising the possession to 70% and playing fully in the opponent's half. Basgaza on the other side seems to have instructed their players to hard tackle on coach Mad's boys: from 45' to 49' Callaghan fails 3 shoots on free kicks towards the goal. Another hard tackling injures Denver who has to make space for Lenders, settling the formation to 3-3-2W-2;
And on a following corner kick Lenders himself gets blockedright before the tap in, while the ball reaches Tom Becker who from 25 meters seals the 2-0 with a missile shoot (50').
COach Mad let Everett (DL) warm up to go for a more covered 4-2-2-2 at this point, but even before the refree could call the sub (idiotic 13 minute lag into game engine) Basgaza actually manages to make their second and third (and will be the only ones) actions towards New Team's half, and guess what, score 2 goals in 3 minutes, Tying (63', 65'). The hard tackling festival continues on as we approach to the end with a bitter taste incoming in mouth, when Oliver Hutton shoots a perfect free kick under the seven and only the keeper says no. But the ladder can't do **** about the following corner when New Team's captain jumps higher than anyone and heads in the definitive 3-2 (80'). Frustrated, Basgaza keep motivating his players on hard taclking and as result Roche makes a late tackle on the match's end injuring Diamond too and getting the red card (88').
Statistics
Scorers: O.Hutton, T,Becker, Veld, Sorlje, O.Hutton.
MoM: Oliver Hutton (9), New Team FC.
Injuries: Bob Denver, New Team, 2 days; Paul Diamond, New Team, 5 days.
-Oliver Hutton scores New Team's 100th goal in the league, reaching the season toal of 30 matches played, 34 goals, 24 assists and 11 MoM.
We were lucky to have still 15 or so red packs which healed Denver, who has just completed his Aerial Defender SA. We could then buy just 10 Reds to fully heal DIamond for the upcoming CL semifinal.
Result Just In...
Hurray FC 0-2 GALATASARAY... GALATASARAY dominate the game with having far more chances on goal against Hurray FC but only managed to put just 2 away but it is enough for me to say that we are going to play against GALATASARAY in the final which will undoubtably give me a very tough test against an active manager that boasts a semi scouted team. He didn't play with the 4-1-3W-2 and started with 4-4-2, When he went 2-0 up in the 2nd half he switched from 4-4-2 to 4-1-4-1... so it looks like he maybe a player that may look for a counter formation... Possible forum user?
Well played July and looks like it is going to be galatasary you play
Crazy 4-3 in CL... (home)
and a 5-0 in League.
Champions League SF, 1st leg - Perfect Tactics (47.5) 4-1 Kabol FC (41.5)
Perfect Tactics: 4-3N-2-1 (3-1-4-2), Kabol FC: 5-3-2 (4-1-2-1-2)
This was a quite frustrating game from us in the first half as we failed to keep a clean sheet and Kabol FC also had FOUR SUPPORTERS giving the away team a 3% possession bonus. We had to come from behind to prevent an uphill task in the 2nd leg but it looks like we can take the foot off the pedal. They had a defensive set up to their team and we started with out 4-3-2-1 formation, some early pressure gave Kabol FC a corner and Langket's cross was met by Messi who gave Kabol FC a shock 1-0 lead. We were not really getting into the game, the advantage bar was in Kabol FC's favour and we needed to do something. Fabregas with some nice skill got him 1 vs 1 with the goalkeeper and he put it away for the equaliser.
Into the 2nd half we needed some extra coverage on the flanks while having a 2nd striker. We played Mata and Petersen slightly OOP in ML and MR while we converted to a 3-1-4-2 formation. This was more like it, the advantage bar was in our favour and we were dominating the game. Fabregas put us 2-1 ahead from a corner kick before Suarez got through on goal and squaring it for Nascimento who couldn't miss in front of an open goal, that made it 3-1 to us. A late flurry of chances for Perfect Tactics and we were soon 4-1 up, Norris heading in a Petersen corner.
Goals: Messi (11'), Fabregas (26', 68'), Nascimento (76'), Norris (83')
MOTM: Petersen
You know something... It's just strange where 3 of the supporters came from... I've watched Kabol FC's matches and never seen any support but for some reason they just appeared in my game LOL. Also... Sparta Akcaya did a SimyFC and supported our opponents.
Both of us are chasing a 4th Champions League title in a row and we are both going to have tough finals coming up. Both of us will be favourites to win the Champions League...
Enhanced Special...
July Fourth and Perfect Tactics BOTH to win the Champions League this season... 7/4. (was 2/5 and 4/6)
A quick question: I´ve decided to sell 3 of my players (2x 19yr old at 5* and 1x 25yr old MC scout) to make place for 5 new youngsters that I´m aiming to buy next season. And I was just wondering when is the best time to sell them: At the end of this season (this week) or in the beginning of the new season (next week)?
Keep in mind that they will lose a * + the market value may fall after I advance to lvl 4.
Yeah, tell me about it :D That is the "big dilemma" of buying and selling, but hopefully I´m gonna purchase all 5 at the first day. I don't wanna make the same mistake next season as I did in this one > Not buying any players the 1th day, but then realizing that I would not be able to buy them later because there were "No server generated players" .... :p
