Subject: New Zealand Cup

You know your team is rubbish when barhilo is way ahead of you though :P.

I notice how you elected for the word rubbish as opposed to garbage. Bit too close to home? :)

We all know why his one man team is ahead of mine. I still remember the discovery of Bodger...

I've thrashed his miserable team every time I've played them. 5-0 was the last result :).

Undoubtedly we will be paired again at some stage in the cup next season. 4th time lucky? >_>

ah yes, the last result.. Also the one that stands out most in my memory from all our encounters coincidentally :)

i'd like to see Mcoi vs in form Tigers :P

Piece of cake I suspect. They wouldn't even get to my defence because of my midfield :P.

who needs the midfield when Ferris and especially Gilbert steam down the wings? :/

YES!!!!!!!

Bodger almost got himself cut from the squad with his 80th minute miss, such an easy goal.. but saved himself with his match winning goal in 102 :D

clips of both goals will be up soonish.. WD bball, a very good game as always but i think you neglected your defence too much. You have also helped me see a weakness in that tactic too..

Edit: MOTM Catalano, imo. a formidable player!

Congrats =) Placing one defender back there was very risky business as you can almost never catch me offside and if a through ball passes through you're left with a one on one.

Frankly speaking I think I had more clear chances against your keeper but I miss them.

I always lose to you in the cup. So unfair! WEll done ;)

Nah I reckon MOTM is Bodger. Dont worry about giving your own player the credit ;) Bodger clearly deserves it. A magical player! ;)

no way, he missed so many shots he made.. did some very good playing but crap finishing.. Catalano was the guy i was worrying about all game. If you had played your strikers a bit more forward i probably would've been in a bit more strife, but Kocot is not an easy guy to get past, despite his low rating ;)

a very well played match!!

When Bodger missed that sitter late in the game I was thinking it wasn't going to be your day. Fortunately he made up for it by scoring from a brilliant strike. Congratulations on the final win and to bball bad luck on the cup loss but good luck in the league.

Very entertaining match. :) Congrats to Barhilo on the repeat.

I thought the MOTM was Matthews - provided some very nice service for Bodger and Watts.

GoodJob beating bball Barhilo!

I'll win it next season!

Seca :

Catarino Lins , age 20
value: 998 800 NZ$, wage: 8 720 NZ$
divine form
bookings:

average stamina,
very good pace,
very good technique,
poor passing,
tragic keeper
adequate defender
poor playmaker
unearthly striker


Not too shabby. He will be much better then Bodger or Hird. He's a 2-3 week popper at age 20. Incredible talent

jeepers!

but his secondaries are crap!

dont be so sure about being better than Bodger or Hird...

His secondaries are crap? LOok at Bodger His value is only 100k more than Lins!

Bodger is 24 years old

Lins is a Three week popper so lets say i train him till the end of the season in technique.

9 weeks = 3 levels of pop which brings him to outstanding technique

next season full speed training= 14 weeks = 4 pops which brings him to incredible speed

So when he is 21 he will have outstanding technique, incredible speed and unearthly striking.

Another season of technique training will get him three-four more levels up bringing him to magical-unearthly technique.

By now he is 22 with magical-unearthly technique, unearthly striking, incredible speed.

Cant wait till he's 24 ;)


p/s I meant he will be better then Bodger and Hird when he is their age which is 24. Of course Bodger and Hird are better than him now!!
