Great signings here amigo.

Hopefully you can top last seasons performance in the league.

As you wrote that I just confirmed another one.

Reading the comment of the Erasure song Always led me to this game:

http://games.adultswim.com/robot-unicorn-attack-twitchy-online-game.html

It's so addictive. It groups your three runs into one total score, meaning you need to be consistently good, which is infuriating. I just had my first run above 30,000, I need to keep going.

A pretty similar season to last year. We've never really got into a stride and against some teams our defending can be woeful. Too often we're caught in possession and no amount of fiddling with time wasting will change that fact. I need a few more skilled players to allow us to play a better passing game and try to dominate teams more. As much as I love our defenders I probably need to be objective and look for better ones when the season closes.

The one real shining light this season is our goal scoring:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/KMLNqF88H3OFhnctKA5X3PMrvDN4x6qYNPwIFF1J.png

Despite sitting far down in tenth we've scored more goals than any other team. That says to me we have the foundations of a good side. This might be affected once Nathan Paulse retires, his heading has been instrumental in our ascent as an attacking side, but for the moment the pain of watching us concede shit goals is offset by some truly expansive football being played at the other end.

I make a lot of signings and I'm quite lazy so I'm not going to update with every single transfer I've made, I figure it's better to just show you my starting XI and one or two other players who are pertinent to our efforts.

This is the preferred starting XI:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/bYBJkixWm6t4PPajbh243KBtnXZzI5m7omCmfcl5.png

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/BkpOavXjbh9IkTX3Xavva16gowMQtH02iTBaXv2P.png

Signed after some random agent suggested him to me. He's nothing super special, but was better than the goalkeeper I had and is the starting goalkeeper for the Bolivian national team. Well done him.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/RXgJzeHq7JC4NlRRfp3DDVNfcZK1vmvdrVDUSzNN.png

I've been tracking him since he was 16 at Kaizer Chiefs. He popped back into my radar at the start of this season when I realised he had been let go. His signing allowed me to move Dany Isoso Mbo into the centre of defence, where he belongs.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jdQvSbWXN9TktW1EVfQbhR8L28jMV0a6pmeonEPO.png

Has been with the club since he first started playing football and the only remaining player from our NFD days. Reliable and two time player of the season.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/HdjLiuU2e2YnYbA4QgU2FHg6QZPms95xeV4KJ7l2.png

Best defender by a country mile. I locked him into a long contract years ago because finding a player of his calibre at the level we were playing is rare. He still kicks it old school and can bang with the best of them. I wish he had better influence because I want him to be captain.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/II6uVYMRUuE19mgTVwjBTxCSdsfUCyU7RL30VzSk.png

Reliable left back and some time left winger. He's also been with the club since I first started, one of my first signings. My coaches say he is past his peak now so I am actively looking for a replacement, but he has been ever present for us and ever reliable.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/D6HQzbxvSbrdDMvzy7yTsMl1g7CG6BA1wqVOeMjC.png

Another free signing this season from Kaizer Chiefs. He's got a good amount of upside but so far this season he hasn't set the world alight, but he's young enough to get better and for the moment he suits our needs well.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/xA7IaBVsm1oCMq7dO7DMwzw2pv9F0bJUuLjcVQDh.png

A special player at this level, he's got all the right attributes for the role I need him to play and he performs that role well. He may be sold on at some point, but right now he takes care of business.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/mUv8uCZrDETDaikFiCo8h7IOcK1aHLqj7OY8xGM5.png

Recent free transfer from the Cincinnati Kings. He's on the bench right now, but will be getting more and more playing time as the season goes on, with a view to starting regularly next season.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/94rXA42f4MCQTPsfxxuXSD5ySUS4iQMKYWY42Tlm.png

The unsung hero of the team. Had some killer attributes and is the cliched rock at the heart of the team. Still got a few years ahead of him, but will be sorely missed when he starts to decline in ability.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/2T5bkhVQY9uQ8tE8s4Eagasxqz1Tgnr7OSHwB8rz.png

Tasty wing motherfucker and club captain. He's having a pretty decent season giving us goals and assists. Not much else needed really.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/c2eJt6D3rZr0DLmlGCAJOKIWMyufraVy33sBeYCw.png

Old? Yes. Good? Fucking yes. He's leading the scoring with 11 goals in 17 games and he's also our leading assister with 8. I almost let him go on a free at the start of the season but I realised I wouldn't find a deep lying forward as good as him so kept him on. Turned out to be a smart move.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/3yiGTGVLf1iZblfs3hPGISxU9uDH6zsqcTXa5Uc7.png

Just signed this guy on a free after he was let go from Seongnam in Korea. He's played four games for us and scored seven goals. I have an erection.

The biggest deciding factor is still going to be what the people in your friend circle are doing. The people I play Xbox with are all buying PS4s, so if I want to play with them I go with PS4. It obviously doesn't hurt that the PS4 is a good console. I imagine the same choice is being made by thousands of people and because of Sony's strong messaging initially it will have gone a long way to getting previous Xbox owners to convert. I doubt many are just going to switch back now this has happened.

I imagine the pre-orders will continue to go that way. However all it takes is a shorter run to get the golden sold out message out, closely followed by the retards selling them for thousands at Christmas.

It's an amazing u-turn but in the eyes of the consumers who care the most they've done irreparable damage by trying to be so completely anti-consumer.

Season ends, we finish ninth. Really, really suprised. Saying that we did make some good signings at the start of the season, which I neglected to update here because I'm lazy. But it was a pair of wingers, two strikers, a new centre back and a Bolivian goalkeeper. I managed to do a huge clearout of players at the start and it actually brought us under budget, albeit briefly.

My concern for next season is how to build on this. We earn fuck all money so I'm going to have to rely, once again, on the trickle down of rejects from other clubs. That's no way to build a secure side. But with that said it's pleasing to see us take to the PSL so quickly and get some major scalps in our first season.

I actually do think we will survive, we've won a few games now and up front we're pretty mobile. However at the back it's pretty dire.

Our first win in the top flight, and it only took seven games. At this rate we're going to avoid relegation.

Erm, okay. So I won the league, which doesn't make much sense. I'd be more excited, if I didn't think we're going to get relegated straight away. We played super well, especially in the second half of the season where we won seven games in a row. I'm just a little shocked because we didn't start the season amazingly strong.

Am I the only one who thinks Joe Kinnear has unfinished business with Newcastle? If this were a film then we would be in the third act; Kinnear returns from his life threatening heart problems to finally secure true glory for Newcastle and put his demons to rest.

I went ahead and did the googling.

Tenter comes from the french word tenet, which means "principle," properly "a thing held (to be true)". This itself comes from the latin word tenet, which means "he holds".

That's etymology.

That's not etymology, you're just showing how you know what the word is.

Etymology is explaining how the word tenterhook came to exist, so you'd need to describe what a tenter and then explain why it's called a tenter. A cursory glance at google should help you out.

Watched The Longest Day, The Dirty Dozen and The Bridge on the River Kwai. It's been too many years since I've seen them and they're still all excellent in their own way.

I need more World War II though. Might watch The Pianist, I've never seen it.
