The 6yr old superfan we saw everywhere last season, Defoe's BFF, has sadly passed away this afternoon.

RIP little man.

An interesting club there, seem to encompass ice hockey, volleyball and wrestling too!

Look forward to seeing how this goes.

Udać się GieKSa!

@Suffolk Seasider Idolo has signed for our terror squad innit


What he lacks in skill he makes up for in passion.

Probably his level at best.

I don't mind the wacky yellow one actually. The other one is plain crap though.

Can't believe Arsenal are making a better signing than us

We need to sign someone damn it!


Rudiger?

Everton seem to be doing a great job using the Lukaku money they will get!


The rumours are back that Rooney will be there on a free come the end of the week too!

They'd previously scored 1 goal in 13 fixtures in Europe, but manage to put two past Rangers in 10 minutes!

Much worse than the Celtic result against the Lincoln Red Imps, at least they turned it around to progress, as it were.

Just shows how tricky these little teams can be to go and play at theirs, as we see occasionally in the FA Cup. The game being at the start of pre-season surely doesn't help the professional teams either. There should be no excuses though.

I see plenty more British teams falling after the first legs!

Well there we have it, Linfield held on to a goalless draw and will reap the 'reward' of playing Celtic in the next round.

TNS pulled off a decent comeback to win their fixture against Europa and also progress to the next round.

Will be interesting to see how young Ince gets along in the Premiership again. Don't know if he's got it anymore at that level, his development was not helped when his dad came in to manage us!

Turns out our kit will be the same as last year but with League 1 badges stuck over the League 2 badges. For the home kit at least, no news on away kit. Guess we still have plenty left from last year (ty NAPM) and they're saving money for the lawyers in the court case.

Tammy "the next Bamford" Abraham has joined Swansea on a season long loan then. With Llorente out with a broken arm and Borja potentially being shipped out on loan then there is a lot of pressure on him to start well and score.

Always tempted to start a Celtic save.

I was almost expecting an Asian team to be your next port of call

Good luck with Gordica. I know next to nothing about Slovenian football either!

I doubt it as it's a Singaporean league, but I don't suppose Home Utd have a player called Heart/Hart?

A lot of drawers of late it seems! Hopefully they start to turn into victories and not defeats.

Finally, my first season round up! I have done no where near as well as most of you it seems.

I'll start with the transfers.

As those who have been reading this thread will know, Hernandez broke his foot early on in my Leverkusen career. There's also not much money for transfers in the opening window so I plumped for Leverkusen favourite Berbatov and another worldwide legend in Eto'o to see me through. Dummett was cover for Wendell, who I didn't manage to sell in January for £20mill like most of you! Here's hoping for the Summer window though...Did anyone keep and play Mehmedi?

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/tjDSz13eepAd55qVWV70H9XW2sawSeq8qXnbmrfe.png

As you can see, after February our goals started to dry up. The loss of Hakan Calhanoglu really seemed to disrupt our flow and we just could not finish our chances. I mean, look at March! What a dry month. I changed formation but results did not improve, whilst we were scoring we were also conceding. Hakan will be back for pre-season so hopefully we'll get it back together for next season.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/lpRGnNxrYKxck5ngaXJTlXlAqb5ggHNtrl2I1lLa.png

Second place was still achieved even with our lack of form for the second half of the season. We should have been challenging for the title as we were playing leapfrog with Bayern for the first half. Whilst we crumbled, they grew stronger and powered to the title. I can live with second, for now.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hEBOaVU5TlSYzRrk2KpbWWoMT6aPADTh4MUIv3La.png

We managed to scrap our way to the semis in the cup, where Bayern reminded us whose house it was and sent us home. They went on to win it, doing the double.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/stHAi5sI4QyvZXaB8URdhqnKaK8hk3KQ9xShvTl8.png

Why Spurs?! That late goal conceded in the home leg meant we were up against it and then they scored 3 quick goals at Wembley to kill the tie and our hopes. Maybe next year we'll get further.

I think that's it for screenshots and stuff. Came second in manager of the year behind the Red Bull manager Didn't get any notifications about player of the year so guess nothing there!

Let's see how I scored:

Bundesliga - 2nd = 15 points
German Cup - Semis = 15 points
Champions League - 1st knockout = 5 points
Rivalries - Bayern x1 = 5 points
Rivalries - Koln x1 = 5 points
Rivalries - BMG x2 = 10 points


Total: 55 points.

Willy Cabellero to Chelsea. Odd one, but signing keepers in the past like Begovic and Schwarzer it's pretty understandable.


Don't think it's odd, they need a back up keeper and they got one cheap, has experience in the league and is happy to sit on the bench for 99% of a season.

They sold Begovic to Bournemouth so needed someone to replace him.

Well done on the domination in Croatia! A cup win against your parent club Would love to see the stats from that final league game against Dinamo to clinch the title, a back against the walls performance or what!

Good luck in Romania, another tough league by all accounts.
