1st full day off work in 5 days and i'm bored out of my fucking skull. I don't know how scroungers do it day in and day out.

Well yeah, if you don't do anything then you're going to be bored. I'm going to a house party in Clapham tonight. Gonna get mad pussy, yo.

Slick move by the board ,means we can get some decent players who are out of favour at Kaizer Chiefs.

End of the season. Here's the league table.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/WhyR2VTKguAWtIfSHrUx8DDOcRIpxdmPbYqVBewL.png

Doesn't look terrible, right? Wrong. We lost our last seven games in a row. We could have had a chance at the playoffs if we hadn't been so inept.

I've got a few signings lined up to hopefully give us a little boost next season. This was a good demonstration of how terrible this side can be. Can't wait...

All time, there's only one man. Rui "Sex Machine" Marques. That isn't a joke, that was his nickname at the club.

Now? Davide Somma. His contract expires in 15 days so he still counts as a current player.

As for how we're doing in the league, it's been a mixed bag.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/fxZLqIiq9CERe24t8JyMQ9gO2sJCq5dIPkR22fbu.png

Some wins, some losses, nothing much else to say. We can look really good sometimes, but defensively we're not excellent. It's still our first year so I'm learning who is actually a decent side and who is a waste of time.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/RTkFH1BtTu0GtMFJWFqz5w82MrKCFb2eoGAyz90E.png

I think we can maybe sit near the playoff area for the remainder of the season, hell we might even be able to sneak in there. But it's also just as true that this side could collapse into the dust. Anything less than mid-table will probably result in me getting fired so we need to maintain our level of mediocrity at the very least.

I've made a fucking ton of signings, a lot of them on shitty one year deals to test the water and see what it tastes like. I think the total is about sixteen or seventeen players, I can't be arsed to count.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/zUDBbw8lexDOKTT1WuPvOO8tyxL4MSAseuBtJ7DC.png

Since there's so many I'm just going to list a handful who will probably turn out to be relevant to our cause.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/TGiHwvCnF3yam1zUm04dEaBRpa4QhwyuEJdEaT2p.png

No relation to Charlize. He was my first signing, and as you can see he is also my most successful so far. He's a solid goalscorer and thank fuck for Stars of Africa being an amateur side because it meant I got him for nothing. Couple his ability with his age and you have a pretty hot signing.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/SX7mCBQg0SlEGI4hR5ftPBcCNoE0YyV9Gfn0Mjvd.png

Good player, great name. He was brought in to give us a little juice in the middle. It remains to be seen if this pans out.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/j9MOwtX18hsfYxLoBeqhcxvpMLU2s4IBJxx1MBrM.png

Theron's strike partner and all round good guy to know. He provides the knockdowns and once scored a hattrick for us. I know, I was there.

Tony the Tiger is a hero back in his homeland of Swaziland. I've yet to see him tear it up here in the big city, but I have high hopes.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/aPbL79FyaMB5PJMkXzB2Lzu8oS2BAL8giFKiP0H7.png

DIM is a great defender. He has good attributes and is young. He's on a short contract so I worry he might not want to re-sign, but for the moment we have a strong leader at the back.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/nBoBj1vIuqQnneh2TNyGLDEce4DGVLVwndVFaI5v.png

Decent left defender. Not much more to say.

There are a few others, like our first choice goalkeeper who is injured, a lot of those names will be gone next winter (see we're in the southern hemisphere so... yeah, you get it now), but there's enough there in the squad to at least make a case for itself as not completely worthless. Brandon Theron in particular excites me, but there are others who could prove to be just as valuable.

I was going to do an upload showing a few of the choice players I've brought in. Then this happened:

Harking back to years gone by, I've decided to start a game unemployed. Harking even further back, I've been offered a job in South Africa, which is just too good an opportunity to start.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/7Tkr1rNYBjjWsDsbfGsjUeNE2QBMRXsRaL5xsEIV.png

The team is expected to finish mid-table in the shit hole that is the National First Division. This is very familiar territory for me, the strategy is to secure, at some point, a deadly goalscorer and brute force our way into the Premier League. We're a long way from that goal at the moment, Here's a look at our best player, apparently.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ZCUr802tbmaAXxRyam1HNvM8vfP1RXF9nvduyvm3.png

I'm going to do some scouting and see if I can bring in some out of work mercenaries to give me something to work with. Moving on up.

The Hunt brothers are due to arrive any minute now. Stephen Hunt I like the sound of, Noel Hunt is another waste of a space in the squad. Surely this means no more forward signings?

His wages and signing on fee factor into our budget, so it does hurt us. In case you aren't aware of how Leeds is run, everyone we sign is free. The manager is given a total budget and it's up to him and Gwyn to decide where money is allocated, wages, signing-on and transfer fees are all factored into the same pool.

I'm going to give you a list and let you guess what all of these players have in common:

Adam Dury
Luke Varney
Andy Gray
David Norris
Michael Brown
Billy Paynter
Neil Collins
Andy O'Brien
Zac Thompson
Alex Bruce
Paul Rachubka
Jason Croew
Shane Higgs
Enoch Showunmi
Mansour Assoumani
Curtis Weston
Leon Constantine
Sebastien Sorsa
Neil Kilkenny
Darren Kenton

Yep, all free signings.

Now here's another list:

Paul Green
El Hadji Diouf
Patrick Kisnorbo
Richard Naylor

Yes, they're all free too.

Going purely by track record, Matt Smith has a 75% chance of being a failure. Now couple that fact with the notion he is a striker and the modifier rises further.

Billy Paynter actually scored goals at a League One level and he was one of the worst players to pull on a Leeds shirt. Matt Smith can barely score at that level. It doesn't exactly strike you as an inspired signing. His money could have been better spent elsewhere.

Right now we have Morison, Diouf, McCormack, Poleon and Smith as forwards. If Smith's signing means we aren't bringing in another forwards, because let's be frank a rotation of five is quite a lot, then I'll be very disappointed.

He scored six goals in 34 games this season. By no stretch of the imagination is that 'bang in some goals'.

Our team needs footballers who are comfortable in possession, players who are good at moving the ball around. If you've ever seen a Leeds match in the last two years you'll be all too aware of our love of kicking it high in the air and hoping someone gets a good knockdown.

Matt Smith is not an exciting signing, he is a throwback to a type of player we do not need nor does he have the technical ability to compensate for his obvious lack of agility.

So I'll go back to what I said originally: I wish we were keeping Somma and not signing Matt Smith. Smith is a waste, especially as we already have Stever Morison, a similar player but better in every department.

You didn't even saw him playing.

He's 6ft 6" and has scored a mighty 9 goals in 61 league games for Oldham Athletic. I don't need to know any more about him to understand the basic type of game he represents or the level of productivity I can expect from him.

The only good thing about him is that he's on less money than Somma. But that's it, I'd rather have Somma.

You cant play XboxOne games of the disc though, they could quite easily have a code system like PC games and it wouldn't need to authenticate online.

Unless the code is authenticated online ,otherwise it's pointless. The whole point is that if it didn't authenticate then you could just install to the hard drive and then give the disc to someone else and nothing would happen. The console is designed to run the games from the hard drive, that's a core framework they use.
