Your mom tends to disagree, at least that's what she said about mine.

Aye, we'll need to do that if we're to establish ourselves as the top club around these parts.
----------------------------------
Before I begin I've got to make a few things clear - due to what is probably an FM bug the Aruban FA has kidnapped 3 of my first choice back 4:
and Lake's picked up a knock as well:
(Yeah you know it's bad if I start a post with these)
---------------------------
We started well enough, Lugo and Rolston again combining well up front.
Which followed an uneventful draw against newly promoted Caiquetio, both defences cancelling each other out.
A 1st defeat this early in the season, to Britannia no less.
Our (backup) central defence's lack of pace was exploited again and again, and our attacks couldn't make up for this shortfall.
Another promoted side, another draw - things could be better.
The wolves are out to hunt, while we're looking increasingly like the prey.
We've already dropped 7 points this season, compared to 9 last time round.

Not a single sending-off this time round, it's already an improvement.
Fuck the authorities, pocketing over a quarter of our profits.
I think $12k's probably the maximum that sponsors here will pay, so other sources of revenue will have to be sought.
How are Britannia still being tipped for the title?
Nacional have really paid the price for their horrific showing last season, losing their star striker amongst other things.
What about us? I'm just glad we aren't taken seriously again, don't think we need the pressure to succeed just yet.
Freindlies - not quite the same without that stretch of games against the reserves:
We've also not arranged many kickabouts this time round, due to the collective incompetence of me and my assman.
Oh well, we end with a 100%, so it's still good.

On one hand if United bring this form over to the league then my FF is fucked.
On the other, IT'S FUCKING MANCHESTER UNITED AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Shit, I hadn't actually considered that...
Might have another crack at the regional championship, or at least have by rep up sufficiently, I think.
#192317 Barclays Premier League 2014/15

We did shit in the 1st half, and on that performance we deserved to lose.
But Everton have only themselves to blame for fucking up so late in the game.
Teething problems atm, we'll iron those issues out in the next month or so.

YES YES YES NO MORE OF THAT 3 MONTH PRESEASON BULLSHIT
#192307 The Ganja Trail - A Caribbbean Adventure

A terrible game, I'd used 2 subs before half time, and were only rescued by Guerrero's fluke cross-shot.
But it does mean that we're three-quarters of the way to retaining the title:
And we weren't going to delay the inevitable.
We took some time to get the opener, but after that we were never in too much trouble.
Boom.
With 5 games to go too.
A quick run through of the remaining fixtures:
Basically:
- Complacency really hindered us in this stretch
-The Dakota draw was particularly annoying, our 1st draw of the season, and actually conceding an equaliser.
-De Lecca was as awesome as his 2 goals suggested in that match, despite being a leftback he found himself in the penalty area twice to finish well.
If I'm honest, with our previous status I've been able to keep around 40 players around on amateur deals, so I've been able to rotate the entire XI for those hellish post-season runs.
The other teams don't quite have that luxury, which meant that half the time we were able to steamroller through by virtue of simply possessing the fitter lineup.
One paid for the other, while the club pockets another 9k.
It's also around $200 per head, which is a small for the amateur guys.
Our title win probably nudged the pair over the line.
4 more than Lake, he's really good.
No awards for us here though I'm afraid.
Has anyone figured out how the points system works?
Second time's the charm for me it seems, the Pentagon career(s) and now this.
Now have a look at the squad (at least those that played anyway):
Brison is the 1st name on the bench due to his sheer versatility, but he's not complaining.
Guerrero had 10 assists, but that fluke of a winner was his only goal.
Also, the top 4 willing runners were all fullbacks - highlights their importance in the system, and how being completely rubbish doesn't matter if you've got pace and a boneheaded determination.
PoTY was most probably Francois Escalona - only double-double in the team, while 17 assists further emphasises hie value of his set-piece prowess.
Markwin Rangel Lugo was also good as well - from being on the brink of ushered out of the club to being in with a shout of starting games, quite a decent comeback.
Lake was again instrumental to our successes this term, looks like we've got a good core to last us for the next couple of years at least.
Now for the youth intake:
I agree with Mr. Odor here on his fave, but not because he's the best (and through assumption a good player), but that he's the least shite.
I suppose he's good enough to start a couple of games and might fit in a counter-attacking plan, but it's one more player to mull over.
Preseason next, fingers crossed I won't have to organise another stretch of intra-squad friendlies.

Vergini looked like he got the ball?
Also Danny Mills called it a brilliant tackle in my stream, so it must've been a brilliant tackle
