Goals: Giel (2', 13', 31'), Haruno (4'), Blackstone (9', 43', 50', 62'), Bale (55')
MOTM: Blackstone

Town travel to Indonesia and destroy opposition.

David Winder and Eric Cantona take Harrogate Town to Indonesia for this second game in the Champios League. Little did anyone know that it would be so one sided. Valdes may aswell have had a picnic and invited his family along as he had nothing to do all game.

The game started with Harrogate kicking off. passing the ball around really well. In the 2nd minute Bale crossed in from the left and Giel made connection with a wonderful left foot volley. The keeper never stood a chance. 4th minute Haruno got the ball 25 yards out and and hit it hard, the keeper didnt move. Then in the 9th minute Town were at it again Blackstone grabbed the ball and skipped past the defence with ease. sliding past the keeper easily. 13th minute Giel got his 2nd of the game. It was a carbon copy of his first goal. Harrogate just kept stroking the ball around with ease. Then in the 31st minute Giel completes his hat-trick with a wonderful solo goal running past 2 defenders before letting fly from 30 yards out. Straight into the top right corner. The keeper stood no chance. Then 2 minutes before half-time Blackstone got in on the act again with his 2nd of the game. chipping the keeper from the edge of the box.
The second half started pretty much where the first left off. 50th minute Blackstone completes his hat-trick with another solo effort this time a 30 yarder that the keeper was unlucky not to keep out. He got a hand to it but it wasn't enough to keep the ball out the back of the net. 5 minutes later Bale decides to become scorer rather than assister, cutting in from the left and letting fly from the edge of the box with his right foot into the top corner. The final goal of the game came in the 62nd minute Blackstone with his 4th goal of the game. he nutmegged the defender then side footed it past the keeper in to the botto corner. From then on Harrogate slowed down and just kept passing the ball around and not letting Triyo on the ball.

After the match Town didn't have time to talk to the press as they had to rush to catch a flight home to get ready for tomorrows games.

Hmm, I'll try both ways to see how it works, I usually have one FK specialist that deals with FK, but now I have to try both to see which one is more effective.

On the plus side, I just made a good come-back in the CL game, and finally managed to win something not just draw like a super-noob. The weird part is: the only thing I changed in my team for the CL game was the captain.

What stats do you look for in a captain on this game lol?

I usually had the player who spent the most time with the team as captain, now I just named my most efficient player of the season so far as captain. But I don't think it makes any difference, just a coincidence that I won this game, and maybe my change of tactics at half time, I might have gotten raped if not for that, lol.

Yeah just seen mate. Thanks. I think were going to lose our young keeper in the smmer though. he has been linked with a few league teams and from what I saw when I watched them he could go a long way.

Harrogate Town sell striker Wayne Rooney to Portuguese side FC Madeira for £1.79million. It originally looked like there could be a bidding war with 10 clubs in for him but after that initial round only 3 clubs remained and it only went 5 rounds. But still made more than his market value so all in all a good bit of profit.

Looks like the buyer got a Wayne Rooney at a bargin price there since the real one is worth about £30million.

League, round 3- Perfect Tactics (45.2) 2-0 Hegylako Fch (37.6)

We played against a tough opponent and it was very hard to break them down. Their defender Dordevic was on top form and kept blocking shots and tackling our players. In the first half Mata's shot went wide and Suarez should have taken the shot himself instead of passing it to a full back. It wasn't really going for us so we put on super sub Crawford. Out of nothing Mata struck from long range and that beat the keeper for 1-0. Our opponents tried to get back into the game and they had several shots but Silva was on hand to head a lot of corners out. It was only in the 88th minute when we got a second, Petersen's corner met by Suarez, sealing an unconvincing win.

Goals: Mata (70'), Suarez (88')
MOTM: Petersen

Yet again the manager from SimyFC keeps supporting our opponents! Does she log in ESPECIALLY to support my opponents? I beat her yesterday but that isn't enough to put her off lol

But a level 6 person, I don't even know who she is... She supported me to cancel out the possession bonus. My only guess is that she meant to support our opponents but didn't by mistake.. Because how else is a level 6 supposed to watch a level 5 league match?

Thats annoying but you have the strongest team in the division and its entirely up to her how she plays the game to support your rivals, there isn't a lot you can do really except support her rivals, but that could also prevoke more unwanted attention by her getting something like 6 of her friend clubs piling into supporting your rivals, I'd leave it as it is, You have more than enough quality to destory this league without having to worry about possession bonuses or anything, 45.2 is a 6* rating so thats more than enough for L6, but like you say you need this quality for the Champions League with having scout buyers in the competition and that strong token buyer that buys young players and trains them up.

Anyways 5,000 posts from me... 4,001 more to go... lol.

Finally we get the DML/ML player for 4T. Search over. Selling my 4* DML/ML, good riddance! Was only useful in the CL final last season and didn't do anything
