Subject: The Least Prestigious Friendly Cup!!

That's right, the least prestigious friendly cup in the entire Sokker universe has been filled and will begin play next week. "Fromastaflex's Arena Has Tampon Dispensers in the Home Locker Room" continues a long tradition of meaningless friendly leagues, which are decidedly *less* prestigious and interesting than the national cup, that make fun of one of the current ML or otherwise notable teams.

Following in the footsteps of "Guacamole Tastes Like Toejam" and "Lakay Wears Frilly Pink Panties," the participants are explicitly *not* chosen for any sort of affiliation with any other online manager games. As a matter of fact, the participating teams are chosen much the same way Presidents are (no, not by the Freemasons, you silly scamps!)... by random chance, and also whether or not their team names have funny Cyrillic letters in them.

The league organizers take great pride in the fact that final league position has no bearing on anything, as whose B team can beat someone else's B team is about as relevant as whether you or your girlfriend's crab lice can crawl across a dirty sheet faster.

We take great pride in the irrelevance, except for training purposes, of our cup. Since, outside of training positions, most of our games are played by unsellable youth pulls, we are proud that Fro's Tampon Dispensers can allow these frisky youngsters a few weeks of precious time before their team owners shoot them and send them to the glue factory.

yay

Do we really need two topics about your friendly league?

No, we don't. closed the other.

This thread was mostly just to mock Islander, so I'd prefer this one be left open.

You mock what you can't replicate.

I understand, the hatred rivals your overall managerial ineptitude. Enjoy your 4th season in A league.

I'm sure this'll be the one where you promote to the ML. LOL!

My first two seasons or so, I played friendly leagues against guys I knew from HT. However, since I don't watch my friendlies and the only thing of any interest in them is whether I had any injuries to trainees, I don't care about friendly leagues much.

I'm so looking forward to your eventual promotion to A league. I hope it's my series.

that makes two of us :)

Although really, shouldn't you be focused on winning your division by now?

Or are you just content being a middling A league team for the rest of your career?

Since my first season, I believe I've been in the top third of the league. I'll make my first big trainee sale at the end of this season, allowing me to make a couple of upgrades.

I played tight against ML demotee Ravens until I mistakenly made a second half substitution and lost my starting keeper to injury.

I've got a winning record against ML team FC Sweden.

I took Lakay to PK's in the cup.

My strikers score fairly frequently against a keeper that's about 100 times better than anything you've played against.

And, I could spank your team any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

So I don't think I'm doing too poorly.

You know what your response really says to me?

'Blah blah blah blah".

I see your tank job with the title on the line last season. I see you bragging about scoring 5 yet surrendering 6. I see your 1-2 record so far this season. I see you losing to an inferior team in the Cup, a match you clearly prioritized more then I did.

It all spells loser.

I'm the youngest team in my series. I lost in the cup to a very defensively oriented team, I played a trainee with poor striking and got burned. That's true.

And I'm 1-2 because as the 3rd place team, I have a much tougher starting schedule than, say, the B league promotees.

But this loser would still beat you, like a $2 hooker. Like Liza Minelli beats David Gest. Like Sizemore beat Heidi Fleiss.

1-3 now. Nice managing :)

You've got this losing thing down pat! You'd think after a calendar year in A league you'd win some.

Hadn't watched the game, thanks for blowing it for me.

Looks like you got hosed.

Pretty much. I've been getting some unlucky results, it'll turn around.
