#79861 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
16 clean sheets, great effort but still 3 short of the winner.
Sissoko 3 years in a row has been in the team of the year. Give him a fucking call up already.
My foreigners are the best in the league
#79860 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
Nope just France, even worse Boyer my midfield maestro hasn't had a call up either. 30 years old just finished a 7.62 season in the league with 11 goals and 7 assists and can't get a go either. Giroud needs to be sacked as manager of France lol.
Bottled it in the end. 3 losses, aside from Marseille last season with 2 it's been 4 seasons since anyone has lost so few. In the final 12 games I had draws with Monaco, Arles, Sochaux, Lille and Evian as well as a loss to Marseille which cost us 2nd spot. The end of the day we should really have won 4 of those 6 games which would have given us the title.
Ah well on to next season and the step up I hope.
Really was pissed off with these results, should have walked over Porto. I could stomach the 1-1 but the loss at home was a disgrace. To make it even worse Porto went on the have the pick of the draw until the final when they went down 2-0 to Leverkusen.
Once again my rotation policy for cup games has cost me any chance of a trophy.
Final half of the fixture list. Impressive with only the one loss to Marseille, and a very good draw with PSG, as I said before though the draws toward the end cost us the title. Injuries and suspensions just took it's toll.
Sissoko and Diallo can do no wrong, might not have the greatest attributes but compliment each other so well and are probably the best CB pairing in the country. They really are that good that despite Makiadi being a superior player with greater potential he doesn't get a run.
Lorber continues to lead the team, 9 goals and 11 assists in the league, he is approaching 30 though so the lookout for his replacement has begun.
Knauer and Marcos are both gone come July 1st as they just can't cut it anymore. They were solid freebies during the early stages of my career here but now I can attract better quality so they are gone.
N'Diaye once again missed a fair few games through injury and suspension, it really showed how much Boyer relies on him in that deep lying playmaker role because he struggled when N'Diaye was away. 7 goals and 4 assists he sets up the team nicely.
Boyer is once again the only one who could challenge Sissoko for player of the year, he was immense but dropped off when N'diaye was away due to not having a proper deep lying playmaker to replace him. 11 goals 7 assists, most of his goals were 25 plus yards, he deserves a France call up.
Aka is really starting to come into his own, when I first got him he was struggling to get into the side, only through injury and age of Rousseau did he get his chance and he has flourished. He now owns that left hand wing spot 6 goals and a huge 10 assists in the league is awesome. He is still only 22 so will get better.
Igor had 13 goals and 6 assists in the league, this is down to playing him as a deep lying forward instead of a poacher now, he is 30 now and doing a solid job but the lookout for his replacement has begun. Marty is pretty much another Igor but has age on his side, at 22 he can be here for a while but looking long term he will only ever be a replacement striker. Chevalier is 20 and has huge potential and showed it with 5 goals and 4 assists in the league from the bench.

Wasn't getting a run in the French squad so chose the Ivory Coast instead. Well deserved.
#79390 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
Second time they have been rumored to take over, it's the money he's throwing around I'm worried about.
#78940 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
I only do game by game here because it's a short stint each time. My other long term career I usually do a pre season, post season update with some interesting bits in between. That's cause I'm lazy though hhaahha.
#78719 The TV Thread

#78579 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Couldn't make the 60 percent possession count, such shit finishing
I'm done, 6 draws and 0 wins. Not good enough but we are 8th so can't complain too much.
Uploading for Fola now. You should look to cull the squad a little bit Fola, too many who aren't getting a game.
#78577 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Fucking hell cannot buy a win
#78575 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Shit end to the FA Cup but Man Utd are just too strong a side.
#78572 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Fucking hell, another send off. Saved the penalty though and we played much better after that. Another point keeps us in contention for that 6th place.
#78571 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Fucking wow, no idea what happened here. Completely outclassed
Think I'm the weak link here Fola lol
#78569 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Not much happened in this game. Disappointing in that I would have liked a win but as long as we keep getting points I'm happy.
#78568 The TV Thread
mr.SPANKY
Blood, guts, gore, violence, sex, just a great show lol
Oh and Xena gets her tits out too.
#78567 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Much better this time, saved a penalty before they slotted one home but we threatened quite a bit. Missed a big opportunity in injury time to steal a winner with a free kick but not to be.
#78566 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Fucking hell two stupid mistakes cost us this one. Both silly backpasses under pressure.
#78565 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
#78564 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Fucking late equalizers will be the death of me
#78563 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Defended better then the scoreline suggests, they had about 16 shots to our 2. We came so near to snatching an equalizer late on with a free kick but it was cleared off the line. They then went and scored 2 more.
#78339 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Where's the image of this 11-0 win? lol
Oh and Fola don't be too hard on yourself, aside from a few playoff victories I am not travelling much better in terms of results.
#78111 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
Only signing for the window. Position I am probably weakest in. The two I was trying to get rid of earlier have signed pre contracts and will be gone come end of the season.
#78110 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
So half way stage in the league and things are looking pretty rosey. It is the tightest it has been though, a couple bad results could see me drop to 6th before I know it.
After the slow start and the thumping by Arsenal we started to put it together and were absolutely pumping teams. Goals were coming from everywhere and just to give you an idea at this stage I have 3 players with over 10 goals, 2 with 5 and all but 7 of my regular 18 scoring goals.
But alas something has to go wrong and the injury crisis hits, I saw 5 of my starting 11 out for between 6 days and 5 weeks, this coincided with the 2 draws and the loss to St Etienne towards the end there.
Onto champions league news now....
Like I said after the Arsenal thumping we started to put it together except for the games against Betis. We just never threatened them but the 3-0 victory over Arsenal was sooooo sweeeeeeet.
Unfortunately due to those poor results against Betis we failed to make it through and got drawn against Porto in the Europa league 1st knockout.
#78100 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
Not a good way to start the campaign, we were 15 to win the tournament so they think we can be there abouts again this season.
BAM, very next game
#78096 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
Minus the loss to Leeds it was an as expected pre season. Plenty of game time for all players and looking good for the season ahead.
Our first month has started the same as every other season. Verrrry slow. Dunno why it takes so long for us to find form especially as I rarely make big changes to the side so they should already be gelled.
Leaves us sitting 11th, 7 points off Lyon, who surprisingly are dominating the comp. Oh by the way to takeover fell through so they don't have any more or less money to spend then previous seasons.
P.s Paco who I had on loan a few seasons back and scored 18 goals for me but didn't wanna leave Barca permanently signed for PSG for 32m
#78092 Spanky's 13 long termer....
mr.SPANKY
Another new contract, they only want to give me 2 year contracts though
Has now won it two years in a row, league team of the season 3 years in a row and still can't get a French call up. No idea what he has to do.
Could make things interesting if it happens, they have struggled of late but with some money they could challenge Marseille.
Victim of my own success, that is now the minimum the board wants.
Dridi was 32 years old and only ever played the odd cup game for me, 26k per week off the budget. For some strange reason the fans are upset he is gone though.
Reyes barely played and was taking upa foreign spot, got his 50k per week off the budget and hopefully Celta buy him at the end of the season.
Lombard was the signing from the previous manager, 62k per week was ludicrous, he was a goal scoring machine early on but he's too old now and happy to have got rid of him although would have liked more than a million. His wage demands through a lot of teams off.
This guy played and dominated in the world cup despite not having a team. Brilliant sub for either wing and will replace the aging Roussea.
Just some more cover for the wing spots.
That's about it for my transfers, I was trying to offload Hugo Marcos and Florian Kneuer, both DM's and pick up a youngster from Palermo or another guy from the relegated Auxerre. Auxerre wanted 24m for him and he eventually went to Man City as I was never paying that much for him. Palermo wanted 6m for their man but I was hesitant about paying that without offloading the other two first and when I couldn't do that I ceased interest and he went to Reading.
#77491 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Somehow Exeter were tipped to win this game
That's me done. Uploading for Fola now.
Just done a quick breeze through the first team squad, 31 players in total. 4 have been with us since Blue Square Prem, 1 since League 2 and 3 since League 1.
That is an incredible amount of players that still get a run in our side that are playing premier league football now, Wonder how many other lower league games out there have this sort of result. Also can't forget the amount we have released or sold since getting to the championship which is still an amazing effort to play that far from Blue Square.
#77490 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Sooooooo close to an upset. Tottenham just had too much possession and eventually scored.
#77488 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Credible draw in an even game. Keeper saved a one on one in injury time that would have given us a win but oh well.
#77487 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Fairly good pre season. Blackburn up first in the league, winnable game that.
#77486 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Just one more of these and covers the cost of Mijic hehehe
#77485 Succession Game
mr.SPANKY
Seriously thinking we should cut our losses with him and sell him in January. He is always injured as good a player as he could be. I've got 2 more DM's in this window anyway.
What do you guys think?
