BARDZRAGUYN KHUMB MATCHDAY 9 Handed Shenghavit another wet towel slap, so did Hayk Koshoian. Third hat-trick in six games for the Kosh, but he also did miss a penalty in this game which was a little concerning. Muradyan came up from centre back to h...

BARDZRAGUYN KHUMB MATCHDAY 8 Nearly had to eat my words from my previous comments, fought to the death to preserve our unbeaten streak. A mistake by Mihov allowed access for Goran Mijic for Shirak's first of the game, quickly dashed by Ortiz'...

HAYASTANI SUPERGAVAT' FINAL Almost a carbon copy of the 3-0 league win, minus Shirak's ability to cause problems. Avetisyan took a punt from the edge of the area to hand us the lead, a second half penalty neatly dispatched by Koshoian and t...

ANKAKHUT'YAN GAVAT' QUARTER FINAL, FIRST LEG (AWAY) A striking masterclass as we eased to a first leg win over Alashkert. Koshoian is having a knack for goals lately, seven in three including two hat-tricks. Hayk and Ortiz were like a beauti...

BARDZRAGUYN KHUMB MATCHDAY 7 First game we really had to fight for a result. Gandzasar played well with confidence and none other than former Pyunik and Stumbras player Sarkisyan took advantage of a sloppy first half with an unstoppable curler into th...

TRANSFERS OUT A good chunk of business took place in the outgoing pile, one name finally got his wish. Harvested healthy profit on youth players such as Putulyan to Shenghavit and Hambardzumyan who were definitely fringe to third/fourth choice at be...

BARDZRAGUYN KHUMB MATCHDAY 5 The Erebuni sentiment definitely fades fast after a worthless spell, showing our superiority on the field but sadly not on the scoreline. Had this game clamped by the ballsack with 17 year old winger Alexander Maiorov soar...

UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE PLAYOFF, SECOND LEG (AWAY) I mean there was barely a point to field a team for the second leg, flogging a dead horse in a similar magnitude of a defeat. Rubio and Sanz emulated what they did in the first leg but Pol Mas also joined...

Might be seeing Ortiz changing allegiance very soon, securing Armenian citizenship after five years in the nation. BARDZRAGUYN KHUMB MATCHDAY 4 Ah, back at the old stomping grounds to stomp on the club who betrayed me. Ortiz and Karasev lit up the...

UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE PLAYOFF, FIRST LEG (HOME) And there's the European terminus narrowly missing out on a group stage position, absolutely PAKO'd by PAOK. Their 4-3-3 setup was frightening and every time they went forward it looked like they...

Only been here less than a month and it seems Kamil Giel thinks I owe him the liberty of leaving. Turkish club Giresunspor sniffing at him and it didn't take long to have a little kick and a scream. BARDZRAGUYN KHUMB MATCHDAY 3 A game that w...

"strong centre back". BARDZRAGUYN KHUMB MATCHDAY 2 Shenghavit were having nunavit in a demolition job at Vardananq 451. Kamil Giel is a wanted man at present with some scouts looking at him and certainly put on a show for them, just shy...

BARDZRAGUYN KHUMB MATCHDAY 1 What a start to the season, taking down our formidable opponents quite massively. Polish striker Kamil Giel was on hand to finish off Karasev's initial effort swatted away, the rebound was all Kamil's just two mi...

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE THIRD QUALIFYING ROUND, SECOND LEG (HOME) I'll say it once and I'll say it again - football is a cruel game. No way did we deserve to lose this game, but Maccabi Tel-Aviv used the counter attack to their advantage, de...

@Dan - Indeed I do, which makes the challenge that little bit more rewarding! ___________________________________________ NEW SIGNING Alberto Ortiz - ST(C) - £2.5k from Banants He's back! And what a steal for two and a half grand from my...

@b0nb0n - Completely overlooked your comment mate, sorry! If I finish Armenia then I will fully unlock nations 42-45, correct. Every nation you finish, you unlock the next one. ___________________________________________ UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SECOND...

A third cameo in the land of Armenia with one of the bigger sides in the nation, Pyunik (Փյունիկ). Celebrating their 25th anniversary this year from their emergence in 1992 (originally named Homenetmen Yerevan), they've always had that rich vein...

Glad to see you back @Eric Portapotty, always love reading your stories.

Nation: Armenia Media Prediction (Odds): 1st/8 (15-4) Expectations: Winners Pros: Strongest club in the nation. Quality squad with a few familiar faces. My one big opportunity to escape this deadend league. Cons: Shirak are an obstacle. RESULT: S...

@r96Skinner - Thanks man, glad to get it out of the way! @Dan - You'll soon find out! ___________________________________________ The veteran Rom-Lithuanian Ştefan Chiorescu is yet again top of the pops, winning Stumbras player of the season f...

Doesn't look good, I'd jump ship immediately when you've played our last game(s).

A LYGA CHAMPIONS PLAYOFF MATCHDAY 33 Concluded the season rather unspectacularly. Tomas Poskus with both goals in a rather entertaining game in Klaipėda that consisted of ten clear cut chances. A straight red for Radenkovic to end his loan spell with...

A LYGA CHAMPIONS PLAYOFF MATCHDAY 32 It needn't matter if we won or lost, but our last home game of the season at least provided some magic as we raised the A Lyga trophy aloft. Despite the frosty surface, chances were aplenty with Kabura testing...

A LYGA CHAMPIONS PLAYOFF MATCHDAY 31 Unbelievable. Total capitulation left us red faced against ten man Suduva. Arnas Zukauskas really showing his worth lately, however his goal was somewhat controversial in the form of a cross-cum-goal and Kabura see...

A LYGA CHAMPIONS PLAYOFF MATCHDAY 30 I'm at a loss to explain this. Think we were too blinkered on the crown and not at the match at hand. An humdrum first half was greeted with a top corner finish by Turdean to send us ahead. The lead lasted les...

Could they throw any more obstacles in our path before our biggest game of the season? A LYGA CHAMPIONS PLAYOFF MATCHDAY 29 So important, maintaining our eight point lead with only four games left. We certainly got out of jail though after ou...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 28 Grabbed what was necessary in our final regular season game. Pavlyukovich is getting a lot more useful with his head, using his noggin to have us on our way. Atlantas didn't put up much of a fight and it ruined their chances la...

What a lovely surprise! Pavlyukovich decided to abandon his Belorussian roots and pursue an international career with Lithuania, securing his first cap in a friendly win over Kosovo. Glad he's getting the notice he deserves. #RoadTo1000. A...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 26 Just to finish this month off even sweeter, Suduva well and truly brushed aside. A breathless last six or seven minutes of the half as the goals just rained in; Kabura latched onto the rebound of a Turdean effort for 1-0, conceded i...

YOUTH INTAKE Keeping everyone in suspense for the LFF taurė final, our youth intake came through. I'll admit, I'm slightly disappointed. Not one guaranteed a potential 4* PA. Aurimas Jankauskas - AM(R) - youth intake The best of the lot s...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 25 The acid test before the cup final ended all square to boost our confidence. Pavlyukovich couldn't believe his luck when a baffling 30 yard backpass landed straight to him and had no problem giving us an early advantage. Zalgir...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 24 I mean if we play like this, the cup will be ours. The mock final went our way in a rather surprising 3-0 away day. I say rather surprising, Utenis didn't play bad at all...we were just better. An unlucky o.g. from Kancelskis,...

LFF TAURĖ SEMI FINAL We're in the LFF taurė final! It was more a frail slapfest than a crusade, both sides failing miserably to break the silence within the allotted 90 minutes. FBK were more likely in truth in a match destined for penalties,...

Yes, if you have any nation's league loaded you'll be able to manager their national team too.

A LYGA MATCHDAY 23 Ah, the proverbial banana skin. It was clear that Trakai's approach was to target Pavlyukovich, hard tackled numerous times to have him hobbling off before half time. Once he was out of the equation, it evaporated our attacking...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 21 Speaking of Kaunas, our good friends of ZK continued to bow at our feet with another thumping win. It was back to the Pavlukovich of old, surpassing the 20 goal mark with an 18 minute hat-trick, destroying any hope of an upset for t...

LFF TAURĖ QUARTER FINAL Semi finals booked! Had the same comfort as last year, Adrian Burcă again on cue. It was a stunner from Burcă to break Krazante's resistance, feeding off another long direct pass and blasted into the top corner from 18 ya...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 20 I wonder if Pavel heard my concerns. He came racing out of the blocks and tore Lietava a new one. The warning signs were there for the visitors as Pavy did score after 4 minutes or so he thought, ruled out for offside. Didn't s...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 19 Sickening, wanted to tear my hair off my dome after witnessing this. An early red card for Bobukh helped us gain a lot more adhesion to the game, and if that weren't bad enough for Atlantas - they lost one of their subs to inju...

LFF TAURĖ FOURTH ROUND Didn't quite drop the Banga everyone expected us too, but made it through nonetheless. The Romanian connection between Turdean and goalscorer Adrian Burcă was a delight to behold, a 40 yard pass into Adrian's path to...

UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE THIRD QUALIFYING ROUND, SECOND LEG (AWAY) European run comes to a grinding halt, no match for the clinical Vorskla. The power of the set piece ruined us; Bratkevych headed in from a free kick in the first half to scrap our gameplan...

@Shedender - I'm not too disheartened, 3QR is a big achievement. A LYGA MATCHDAY 18 Massive win at the apex, pushing aside Suduva to widen the gap at the top. A year on after claiming his signature, Alexandru Turdean reached his landmark first...

Gotta start somewhere my man! Unlucky not to finish in the top half but if you're in 7th you could still fight for a Euro playoffs place.

UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE THIRD QUALIFYING ROUND, FIRST LEG (HOME) A packed crowd saw us lock horns with Vorskla, falling short on the night. Alexandru Turdean can have no complaints in giving away a penalty on the stroke of half time; Maxym Bratkevych accur...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 17 The Europa League hangover in full effect, mauled by a scarily good Zalgiris side. Three goals in four minutes did the damage as Rrapaj and Klimavicius fed on our rotting corpse, both picking up braces. Four absolutely flattered us...

UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE SECOND QUALIFYING ROUND, SECOND LEG (HOME) Not proud to say that we parked the bus in the second leg, blockading our visitors in a snorefest. Frankly the defensive mentality might have been redundant, CSKA were brutal over both legs...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 16 Focus returned to the league a few days later, securing a narrow win over Utenis to remain top. Olivier Kabura's early strike the difference in a game that lacked any sort of conviction from that point onwards.

UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE SECOND QUALIFYING ROUND, FIRST LEG (AWAY) Big result away from home. CSKA Sofia were imprudent at times, few risky passes gave us an outlet and one too many led to Pavlyukovich firing in a vital away goal. Adrian Burcă should have m...

UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE FIRST QUALIFYING ROUND, SECOND LEG (AWAY) Job done. Kept the home side quiet in every department and made chances count to safely advance. Chiorescu rifled in an early free kick and Zukauskas ploughed home from a Birskys inswinger....

@r96Skinner - It should be a victory, I believe in my team. @Dan - Haha stop I know, couldn't believe it myself! Hopefully we'll push on for a title challenge. ___________________________________________ UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE FIRST QUALIFYING...
