I'm almost sure they will win it.

Biggest worry for me is avoiding a massive hit to my fan mood.

The fans are fickle buggers.... mine didn't like relegation from the Prem one bit....

Got the spanking I was expecting and lost 3 levels of fan mood as a result.

Had this dude marking his winger:

Nelu Doru, age: 18

club:
Phils_hotspurs

, country: România,
value: 132 600 £, wage: 1 185 £,
incredible form, excellent tactical discipline,
height: 173 cm
bookings:
compare transfer:


NTDB:
unsatisfactory stamina tragic keeper
formidable pace excellent defender
good technique good playmaker
solid passing poor striker

It was never going to work, the idea was that he would attack down the other wing!

Ouch thats bad news, you did well to reach 2 successive finals though. Hopefully I can avoid helping your fan mood on Sunday. ;)

Yeah I think with me not really training many players at the moment its a massive advantage to play my full strength team in all games. But it has got me enjoying sokker again which was the plan and another go in the champs cup next season should be fun.

That was my third successive final, I won the last two, so not so bad really.

Could have been a better game if I had played my reserve trainees in the league, but I figured that its best to concentrate on the league really.

Not for a final surely?

Probably the wrong decision, but its the way that I have always played it.

Guess another way of looking at it is that I managed to get 1 win at least, probably would have lost the final with my first XI anyway.

hmm. I have just spotted that in the semi when 3-2 down, I carried out the inept tactical substitution of removing my best MID player and replacing with 35 year old backup striker with no MID capabilities. A tactical substitution that should not have existed....

So good news in many ways Phil is that you played a baffoon in the semis......

I can always rely on that from you ;-)

lol blame it on your kids. ;)

You played a kid or two against forestman though and won.

You finally got beat by someone who was willing and able to field a stronger team than you and for that I commend the chap!

Your excuses are hilarious; "league's more important" - that's why you auto-relegated right?!

As I said above, I reckon I would have lost to Sheff City with my first XI.

It made the decision to concentrate on the league (and get at least one win) a bit easier.

You bottled it. I don't know why you would choose to concentrate on the league, you have as much chance of winning it as I do.

Thats not technically true, he could best me this weekend and then be closer to winning the league. OB is still my main rival though as far as I am concerned....you two lost too many early games.

I prefer that we all just shout "bottler" to Phil....

:D
