just scrapped though 1-0
lost on possession and play in half despite a huge ratings gap
glad I didn't watch now, sounds painful

Picked up a 9-1 win and 175 000 $ in gate receipts as I played in a very nice 60,000 roofed all-seater stadium.

A good trip all in all!

I might be at home next round with any luck, who wants to take me on!?

I lost 1-0, but learnt a lot. The formation I used contained the opposition nicely, but the reason that my remaining forward scored so many goals was because Herbski would get into positions, leaving Theiler mostly tap-ins to finish. Back to the drawing board / transfer market for a striker methinks.

I'm going to get buried in the league now.

I told you Herbski is a God of Godly proportions. ;)

daft thing is, the best looking striker / passer of the ball on the market that I can afford is a player I already sold for 1.6 million, who has been listed as a cheeky punt for 2.4 million.

Although it's financially stupid, I am tempted.

If it makes you feel better my intended replacement for Fica I missed out on as some Spanish dude has more money than sense unfortunately. :(

not really, you still have all your money :)

I need a trainee badly!
(edited)

Well, I can't buy a pensioner forward for 3.5 million.

Time of the season imo.

i cant believe im still in the cup :) it would be a miracle if i can win my next game though!

Thoroughly agree wdp :). You know you've been playing this game too long when one of your youth pulls is on the transfer market, aged 31...

LOL makes you feel old eh?

my first ever junior is 24, im getting on a bit as well haha ;)

Yep ! Daft thing is there are 3 former Nil strikers up for sale today, and I'd be happy with buying any of them right now...

My most elderly still living youth pull sale is 33 now - fast approaching these skills again I guess.
