What a good sport you are

It's just a game, and I don't spend any money on it, no point in taking it too seriously.

I don't believe the games are predetermined, but I do think they are 'random' sometimes, no matter what you do as a manager.
HOWEVER, both of us have played this game long enough to know that one freak result happens, but two, that's far more unusual.
I just accepted the first 1-0 loss as 'one of these things' and it didn't actually cross my mind that I wouldn't win the return leg 4 or 5 nil, as that's what would normally happen.
Jeez, I just beat a team of all 5*/6* in the CL today 1-0, so for a full team of 1 * to better me over two legs hardly even goes with the 'chance' theory!
