Gloria al Sammarinese...and myself

God Damn right. I should annex the little commune of Aprilia, Lazio, a place with a population of 70k, for the U.S. they love me so much there.


Of course. An Italian club, managed by an American, bought by a bunch of Rooski's replis impudently by not getting their way against an American.

Whatever.

Embargo lifted

Good to see you keep the job but it sucks the facility expansion is cancelled

Top work on promotion!! very pleased Gameiro got the goal! Glad you kept your job!

Def. Thanks! Yeah, but apparently that was the new owner facility, the upgrade from the previous board is still ongoing



Thanks George! hahah got a soft spot for Gameiro? As am I mate!

ha ha just pleased he finally scored for you and your main striker decided to score!

Haha Well I may or may not have just picked up Zivkovic....I suppose you'll find out in the preseason breakdown

Well this is foreboding....



Let a number of Free's go. Most notably Stefanelli and Mikel, the rest of the "Out" transfers are loans. Brought in Engels and Patosi on frees as solid role players. Giovinco as an experienced Italian on a free Purcell is a ST for the future. Palombo is a Serie A experienced Italian who is the new club captain.Vadala is an amazing, young Argentinian AMC, his contract at Boca had run out and I was able to snag him on a free! Bjedov is an awesome Slovenian AMR, with Isoufi being injured and possibly not up to par for the Serie A level, this was a necessary position to fill. Marchetti for another Serie A experienced Italian head, one who will start in the goal, as De Bellis is our weak link, despite being one of my favorite players for the club and the captain since I appointed him when I took over long ago in 2016. I think we all know the wunderkind ST Zivkovic

Horrible pre season! But money spent so hopefully you can start playing now and winning!

Haha you're telling me. I have my Ass man do the preseason, but after every game it was "X demolish Aprilia" and I was like uh-oh. haha Oh yeah, I think we will be alright, just need time to mesh as a team with all the new members.

Welp. Solid victory against Bari in the Coppa Italia to start the season. Then, it's the start of the Serie A. It's been a frustrating opening, but hopefully when the team gets a little more cohesive those losses will at least turn into draws. I gotta keep the faith!



Young Irish DM/MC signed for under $1 mil. Just one for the future. Rest are youngsters and Sammarinese who just aren't up to this level loaned out.



Think it's gonna be a battle against the drop this season. In saying that, with the new Rooski owner and board, I'm not sure I'll make it with my Apriliani boys til the end of the season.



Silver Lining is that Serie A might make us some scratch with people enjoying coming to the games.

We actually looked okay in this game but they scored some stunners This challenge is wearing on me



Austria get OP at this point?? wrecked us.

The 0-1 start at Ternana was frustrating, but they were in 3rd at the time and I think we only had 1 shot and it wasn't on goal. So this was desreved, but still frustrating.

I decided fuck sitting back against Napoli, who have won the Serie A 4 out of the past 5 years, with them recapturing the title last year back from Sampdoria following a string of 3 years in a row previous to that. This strategy was obviously the death of me, was totally dominated.

The 3-4 loss at Pescara was SUPER frustrating We went up early and were dominating possession, shots and shots on target, and then conceded 4....We almost got a draw that would have been the least that we deserved but the 3-4 loss was very harsh.

UGHHH Again I went for it at home against 13th ranked Roma. I really thought we might get something form this. We went into the half 1-1, althoug hthey had had the lion's share of shots and SoT, we had the possession. In reality we probably desereved to lose, but I really wanted to get something out of this match.

Despite all losses, you can see we are starting to pick it up and should start to pick up points soon!



sigh. yup.


GOTTA KEEP THE FAITH FOR MY APRILIANI & SAMMARINESE!!!!!

Literally gotta take any poistive I can

Tough start mate! But that was expected keep going with it! Only a win away from getting out of the relegation zone!

Yeah man! Exactly! A win and a draw and there we are!!!

BELIEVE.

You can do it!

FUUUUUUUUU it was 1-2 before the sending off god dammit!



Damn Belarus has some nice regens. This victory over us took them to the top.



Bottom of the group but hey, at least unlike Cyprus who are getting points, we can at least find the net in our shallackings. Well, up next is the game against Cyprus. We are gonna beat our Mediterranean neighbors! Il Sammarinese Devono Tenere Fede!





MUST BELIEVE. It's these times where you tell the true fools of FM from the wishy-washy fools.

Dominated 1-3 away at Genoa, got a consolation goal through the old head Pritchard. Just a better team.

The home loss 1-3 to Inter was disappointing as I thought we had the chance for an upset as Inter was sitting in 18th at the time. Maybe 16th, but low low and weren't in form. We played decently as well and were just down 1-2 at the half following a decent first half display.

VICTORYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only did we win 3-1 at Torino, but we looked amazing doing it!

An unfortunate 2-3 home loss to Fiorentina. Their goals were just gifted to them, one was an O.G. and this game was really disappointing, another one where I thought before we were good enough to get something!

A fucking infuriating 0-2 HOME loss to lowly Livorno. What made this Halloween loss even worse was they dominated us on our home ground. Fucking pathetic!

GOTTA KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



On the board! Wanna get outta this relegation zone and all will be well on Earth

BONUS:
Prior to the Livorno game.

I've been attached to Aprilia for a while!

C'mon Aprilia

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! First competitive victory for the boys from San Marino ever!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS



Blegh, annoyed at the result, but my main man Muccioli who is in the youth of my Aprilia side scoring two on what I believe was his debut!!!



OFF THE BOTTOM! YEAH! FUCK YOU CYPRUS! I TOLD YOU WE WERE GONNA BEAT EM AWWWW YEEYA!

Huge win that for San Marino top work fella!

ughhhhhh. Keeping ourselves in games, but just a point from Novemeber. At home against fellow relegation battlers Spezia, which is really disheartening.




dunno if I'll continue to have a job come the new year. BUT I GOTTA KEEP THE FAITH!



FUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Thanks man!!!

Epic win over Cyprus

Dunno how much more I can go on. Or I'll be allowed to haha. Dat Lazio result doe!



Looking grim, but somehow I still have my job so maybe I can keep it, go back to Serie B with this Serie A money.



Silver Lining



A COMPETITIVE WINNN!!! The first multi-victory year in Sammarinese history. Look at those games! Competitive against good opposition, winning some games, drawing some game(s), and scoring goals!!!

Oh dear Hope they stick with you if you go down

YEEESSSS! 4 points this month and an outstanding home victory against Ternana!

Good performances against Empoli and away at Napoli as well, just no results.



All incoming transfers are regens, Vuk a Croatian CB, Kalenga a Congolese teenage ST, Ramirez a Argentine 20 y.o. WBL, Azevedo a 20 y.o. Portuguese MC and my main man Ciacci.

All the outs were loans, except Valentini, who was a disgruntled Sammarinese 22 y.o. CB that wasn't very good to be honest and I don't really care.



Welp, we keep on keeping on!!!



Me too! GOTTA KEEP THE FAITH AFTER THE VICTORY NOW!

Hey, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING!!!!! you may not believe me but I am from San Marino!!!!!! And I imagine you are from Italy so do you live anywhere near San Marino???

Finally a win

I'm glad you're enjoying the read man! I believe you! I am actually from America mate! But love European football, and always root for the Sammarinese ever since I saw Simoncini have a cracker in goal against England way back I think in 2008 European Championship qualifying.




Ugh, you're telling me
