"Midseason" 2029/30 First stop was international duty with the Northern Marianas, with a couple of friendlies to gear ourselves up for the Pacific Mini Games. Not an encouraging 1st game, losing to Eritrea with our wide 4-3-3 being worryingly i...

I've never actually used that ultimatum option, you had balls for going all the way. Wait to see if the Dinamo manager does move clubs, then maybe apply for that? Try to get them back to the top.

Why do you do this to me In other news, bottom half hype train choo choo

Imagine waking up at 3 to watch this game, I didn't Imagine caring about football

Somalie Cup 2029/30 Well, yikes. A game against last season's relegated team and we were comfortably outplayed. Admittedly I'd set the team up to play on the counter (in anticipation of getting beaten in the league, so I did call it in a way)...

My days, you've finally gotten yourself out of that Georgian prison, congrats

Preseason 2029/30 So, Gaadiika: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaadiidka_FC There's next to nothing about them online, other than they're a Somalian club - well if nothing else I can at least provide some insight on the players that we have:...

Haha, thanks man! -------------------------------------------------------- Off Season 2029/30 A final hurrah for us before we go our separate ways. And I have departed indeed. Absolute hilarity that the club could come back begging for me though...

Haha why? I mean yeah, they're top dogs and all, but at least we did one over them already. ------------------------------------------------------------------ End of Season 2028/29 As expected, we dominated the game and came away with 2 goals....

Playoffs 2028/29 Oooooo revenge is sweet - dominated them at home, and aside from the (admittedly frequent) counterattacks we weren't looking like relinquishing the lead, even if it took us a bit late to add some gloss to the scoreline. Could'...

Regular Season 2028/29 26 shots and only 3 on target speaks for itself, not to mention the 3 times as struck the woodwork. That said we probably won't ever be as comfortable against Lyford Cay, and that we eventually did score for the win was the...

Preseason 2028/29 We'll start with the conclusion to the takeover 'saga': Well.... How can I summarize this: Good - I'm not sacked Bad - They rejected my request for new facilities Good - They're basically Ed Woodwards Bad...

End of Season 2027/28 Given how our league campaign ended with a whimper, it was only apt that our Cup ended in similar fashion. 1st XI, proactive mentality, all the works against a relegated team, and we go out on penalties - par for the course then....

Championship Playoffs 2027/28 Well that's a terrible start for our playoff campaign. We prioritised stifling their front 3 again but couldn't get our own attack going, and while we did keep their attack quiet in open play we then let all that...

Regular Season 2027/28 We dominated the game, got only 1 goal for it, but most importantly also secured the 3 points in an opening day win (finally too, apparently - last time the team won an opening game was 7 seasons ago). Well that was a real dow...

Preseason 2027/28 Look at that disrespect to the Cup winners, shocking. We'll be looking to add that that boost this season, thank you very much. Well at least we've been given credit for our survival in the league, so there's that...

End Of Season 2026/27 1st round went about as expected, and COB didn't put up too much of a fight. Meeting a lower league side in Breezes Eagles prompted me to rest most of the squad who had just beaten COB 3 days before. Nearly paid for it in...

Relegation Playoffs 2026/27 Tight win against COB who managed to be worse than us somehow. Could've been more comfortable given our chances and the late penalty, but hey credit to the team for holding its nerve to the end. We couldn't cont...

Time to dust off this old thing... Does anyone have any advice on learning German? I've been using Duolingo only so far, but I've heard that it's not a sustainable tool for long-term learning.

Regular Season 2026/27 Did I ever mention how much I hate defending against 3 strikers? Stuck 3 centrebacks with my own 3-4-3, but man for man our backline was completely unable to keep up and we got toyed with time after time. Wood and Nerleus got sen...
