3-1 win, come from behind once again, results will drop off slightly as I sell my 4.5 star god Renton, but still should easily tick all the sponsor goals. Melddahl keeps on banging em home.
League Banter - The Matchday thread
Crushing 6-2 win over Battle Hill to move into the top four, four assists to Renton and three goals for Bagg.
That makes our h2h for some weird reading, Battle Hill have beaten me 6-1 and 8-2, while I have beaten them 6-2 and 7-0.
I'm so far in debt that I've lost the heart for it at the moment. Not fun!
Might have to downgrade your facilities there Tegal
I'd only save a mill per downgrade. Its wages that are kicking my ass. But then need good players to compete, but then I need to pay them high wages.
Its a horrible cycle that I can't be bothered trying to fix right now lol. Probably have to sell Askew.
5-2 win over R.AKL Academy, but my only decent striker picked up a knock that will last 1 game, and my best DCM picked up a red card.
On the positives, I've ticked off my minimum goals scored and minimum Cup wins so far, just need to stay in the top half and keep the goals conceded below 60.
3-1 win over Otautau keeps me in 9th place, 5 ahead of AD Fafe and 3 behind the trains.
New striker Unika Mkhalee scored a brace on debut and won man of the match.
Another close loss last night, 4-3 I've made a massive call for my cup game tonite. Gone to 4-3-3 had to move my ML to left back - he can play both and then spent 100 days to convert my young CB to an RCB god I hope this works
Good luck, hope it pays off.
Trialling a more attacking 3-2-3-2 formation for my Cup match tonight.
My season goal was for 1 win which I've already achieved so this is a good tester for games where I could potentially boost my goal difference.
Need to test out a dead-boring-defensive-bus-parking formation too.
Coming up against some of the big teams and need to stay 9th or better and concede no more than 60 (currently on 43)
My team finished the game with 9 men on the pitch and only had 32% possession but won 3-1!
wow - I need some of that kind of luck, the last two season has been aweful for me......next season is mine fer sure!
Luck has nothing to do with it - just some Mourinho-at-Inter style deep defense and counterattacks! :P
I actually feel kinda sorry for the guy who manages that team though, I've been spewing over being on the receiving end of those kind of results myself before
Good luck, hope it pays off.

Well that backfired :p lost 4-1 to a NZ Div 1 Group 14 side, and my top right attacking midfielder is out for 3 games with an injury!
Worth a shot though
tested out my ultra defensive 5-2-2-1 formation against AD Fafe last night and ended with a 2-2 draw.
1-1 draw against Woodend FB after going down to 10 men on 44mins.
Luckily the teams either side of me drew 2-2 against each other.
Red card to my left back and set piece specialist, also my captain picked up a 2 match injury.
6mil in the red so have to dip into reserves to make the squad, this will be tough.
Insane performance from 
Shane Renton, who had 2 goals and 4 assists in a 7-1 win. That brings him to 9 goals and 20 assists in just 20 games....
Other goals went to 
Sergio Martínez (2), Peter Melddahl, Bruce Rapp with his fifth of the season from defence, and Simon Rood.
Hey does anyone know how long an account can go unused for before it's considered "inactive"?
I might not be able to get online for a few months from late January.
Important 2-1 win, now in third, Chris Gates with the 88th minute winner.
I really need a keeper...
...down 2 - 0 early, brought it back to 2 - 1 early in the second half, only to go 3 - 1 behind shortly afterwards.
And won 3 - 4.
Result! (in the end)
held MC United to a 1-1 draw with an injury ravaged team (including my 1st choice keeper out) right up until the 88th min.
Still holding on to 9th - c'mon you Falcons!

I'm not really sure of the timeframe involved. If you can make it to an internet café while you're away, it might be an idea. Anything longer than one season (12 weeks) and you're probably pushing it I think.
no worries, been fortunate enough to find a caretaker manager while I'm away :)
be afraid, be very afraid
2-1 win, remain in third.

That IS good news...
5-0 win, Melddahl with 4 to bring him to 81 goals in just 85 games for the Whips, what a signing he was. Have now reached 20 wins on the season, tying a club record, and 74 league goals, one away from the record. Looks like I'll hopefully be in the playoff hunt.
3-0 loss at home to Hamilton KV. I've conceded 57 and need to get by with 60 or less to get my sponsorship goal.
Got 1st placed zavbro then 7th placed Bay of a Few.
At least I'll get some earnings from goals scored and 1 cup win

The Trains are not happy about this. We were hoping you'd do us a favour and beat Hamilton KV...
Yep, know how that feels.
I need the bottom of the table to fight off AD Fafe and Digihomi so I can climb back to 9th, and need to concede less than 3 goals against two of the higher ranked teams for my sponsorship dosh.

Looking forward to the battle home, I am also chasing the 9th spot for my sponsorship goal, needed to score 50, and concede less than 50, hmm scored enough, but my conceded tally has been smashed this season.
Got the Whippersnappers next :-) Time for a big win I think.
Though I finish with Sky Valley & Hamilton KV, so you should be safe.

Anything less than 10-0 would be inadequate after your disgraceful efforts in only winning 2-0 before! I'm not sure whether I should go park the bus or try nab a goal.
The goal for the Whips is to help as many Fever teams as possible now, hopefully by injury other teams' key players. By next season I'll have some decent youngsters.
On the Prems front, a hat-trick to Melddahl (who has 31 this season), including goals in the 81st and 85th minute to make a 1-2 deficit into a 3-2 win got me the full three points.
I swear I've turned a loss after 80 minutes into a win after 90 at least five times this year, enjoyable.
At the moment, I have a four point gap in second place, but the teams I have left to play are currently 1st, 3rd and 5th. Uh-oh....

Think I need to just throw caution to the wind and go all out attack...problem is I can't afford to lose :P

I just scored two (TWO!) goals, so watch out #inform. Don't mention the fact I conceded 7...

FFS! You're playing the Junior Whips. They have 10 goals for and 193 against for the season and are 0 - 0 - 31.
If you lose to them, you are banned!
The weird thing is, I'm positive I won a game, and at least drew one, last year. But they're only there for the routine anyway, so I don't care about results. Soon they shall amass a lofty 7 points in a season. #predictions

Knowing the way my team performed against the bottom team last season (1 draw, 1 loss) it wouldn't surprise me...
But I agree, I should be sacked if I lose to them. Think the aim has to be 7 goals, ensure they concede more than 200 for the season.
