#206468 What Was The Last Film You Saw?
Eric Portapotty
Oh right, the film - Dracula Untold, not bad, but I suppose my taste should be discounted given the number of movies I've properly watched in the past couple of year.

Confirmed, I've never wasted so much time walking around doing virtually nothing in such a constant, regimented manner.
And I'll have to return in an hour for another week. FFS

-------------------------------
Bumper month this, 7 matches played:
We started with the Cup, comfortable win with the 4-6-0.
Was frustrating as well - I'd warned Oehlers about picking up a second yellow during the interval, and he didn't. Didn't expect Rasmijn to pick up 2 cautions in 15 minutes though.
The switch back to our usual 4-1-3-2 was unusually difficult, with Estrella managing to match our CM trio and then some.
We eventually went through, but on penalties it's not the best of performances.
Another 4-6-0, another good win.
Rangel Lugo assisted the other 2 goals as well, coming in form at the right time.
On to our 2nd straight final then:
We looked like we've already wrapped the match up by the time our 2nd was scored, and the players probably thought so too.
So then, a rude awakening to knock some concentration into them.
Juventud didn't kick on though, and we managed to see the game out.
Oh right, we've won the cup as well:
2nd on the trot, we're looking on the up again.
Also, now that we've got a fair bit of cash, I took the liberty to ask for some upgrades:
\o/
Back to the league now, we've still around a week of January to go:
Well where did that come from?!
It was Escalona's 1st goals of the season too, 2 free kicks (1 was a fluke), and he wrapped the game up by half-time.
Estrella came to look for revenge, we said no.
Frustrating match - we'd hit the woodwork twice before establishing a 2-goal lead, only to lose it spectacularly through some shambolic defending.
Supersub Brison quickly got us back in front though, and Croes made it safe.
We lead for now, but Dakota will surely regain top spot - we'll need to beat them then.

We didn't play any matches, but it doesn't mean others didn't as well:
We're now 8 off the lead with 2 games in hand, that lack of clinical finishing and losing our defensive shit have probably cost us it seems.
Other things happened:
FUCK
Now Lake is alone as our best striker, fingers crossed he doesn't go on one of his goal droughts this time.
'Best club in the land' Britannia have sacked yet another manager, this time I was linked, not that I cared though.
Now we meet in the first hurdle, funny how life works eh?

Turns out I've zoomed past 2 months and 6 games, let's go then:
A frustrating opener, as we earned an early from a set-piece then repeatedly failed to build on it.
We paid for it eventually, and were lucky not to end up losing after going down to 10 men.
A good answer to our opening day troubles, Caiquetio were never really in the races and we made it count for once.
An absolute horrorshow in the closing stages, undoing all our good work (Lake's, specifically).
A poor GK's clearance, then a hilarious attempt at tiki-taka in our penalty area gifted a point to RCA.
It looked to be one of those days when we conceded the early goal, so credit where it's due to the players for coming back the way they did.
Now to put this mentality to use more often...
Nope, let's take the lead then (again) fail to build on it.
Jomar Siem did by himself in a half what we did in 90 minutes.
He picked up a knock that necessitated his departure, but the damage had already been done.
2 perspectives really:
- That we're top and still unbeaten,
- Or that we've only won a third of our matches and everyone else has games in hand over us.
Anyway, next match is somehow 35 days from December 1st, which means a relaxing holiday season, I guess.#202938 The Ganja Trail - A Caribbbean Adventure

Nacional seriously screwed up the last couple seasons, that's winning the title to relegation in just 2 years.
As usual, club legend status is in the bag for him at this rate.
Next season will probably not be as rosy financially, with the signing to contractual deals for the key players and the lack of continental competition.
Bit of transfer news:
Was a rude awakening - he had been one of the 1st names on the teamsheet ever since he joined the club (and leaned to play centreback), so replacing him wasn't something I was looking forward to (or expected, really).
This is his replacement, has guts, decent speed, and a half decent defensive game.
Only problem is his height, but I'm sure regular rotation will minimise that risk.
On to preseason:
We started off with the traditional double-header against the reserves, and as usual you couldn't read too much from the performances.
What I did do however, was to balls up the preseason proper, which is why we only played one friendly.
The 4-6-0 that was played by a certain Egyptian club in an alternate universe was debuted here, and there were good signs, but again it's not like beating a lower-league side would secure the title for us over 18 other games.
We're quite affluent now
Will I max it out for the players? No.
A league where being third favourites doesn't give you pressure to win the title - I'll take that.

Was terribly homesick, my sarge can't seem to stop being angry at everything, I'm currently physically incompetent, and the food is horrible.
Oh well, at least it's lowered my expectations of living quality substantially, and I've got my rifle, which means I'll effectively be jailed if I misplace any part of it.

So quit complaining that Nick Griffin is racist, and be grateful you won't have to waste 2 years while a woman of the same age is well into her university course.

Having taken the lead with a great free kick:
"Oops the strikers still can't score for shit"
"Oops the keeper dropped the ball"
Well fucking done lads.
Derek Croes once again showing what could have been if the strikeforce wasn't such a bloody inconsistent bag of nerves.
Our next match would have seen us play RCA in a title decider - however:
Dakota dropped points and instead of denying them an opportunity to secure the title we'll have to give them a guard of honour.
I'm not sure who's more gutted, all I know is we missed an opportunity to prove a point.
Lake scored! He actually scored!
And then a truly dire spectacle to finish the season off - apt really.
The only saving grace is that RCA weren't even close to our record points haul.
For some reason I'm Manager of the Year again, seems like so long we're considered underdogs this award is in the bag.
Players of the season:
Pretty hard to pick for this season, it wasn't quite the vintage that last season proved to be.
Captain Violent Set-pieces gets the nod despite another 2 dismissals - says it all about our team, really.
Fingal's best moment must have been the cup final, where he netted 3 goals.
Other than that he hasn't added too much to our attack, with his relative lack of pace (and absolute lack of aerial ability) meaning that he only started 11 league games.
He topped the league's clean-sheet charts, but still managed to conceded an average of a goal a game.
It was mostly down to the defence's ability to capitulate in spectacular fashion, so he gets the nod.
Finally, this year's youth intake:
I don't disagree with Mr. Odor in his choice pick, but the thing is we've got more than enough strikers already:
See he's not bad at all, but it's nothing extraordinary.
Much more interested about him, he could play a part if I do revert to the 4-6-0 last seen in the Smouha team.
