I ignore anything that happened in season 1, because you may (like I did) have joined with 2 games remaining and have no hope of making yourself look good. I blame my brother-in-law for inviting me at the end of the season rather than the beginning. Or, you may (like boufhead above) have joined at the same point and be in first place, cup final, CL final and have absolutely no claim on the trophies in your cabinet.
Not that I'm bitter about it, but seriously brother (in-law), think about when to invite people.

And I lost in the preliminary round of this cup, but to the team that went on to win it. So I can say I was only beaten by the champions. Doesn't sound so bad, does it? Does it?
