Began as Carlisle two days ago.
Currently top of League 1 on goal difference, with 43 points from 23 games.
Wouldn't be anywhere near that without Frazer Campbell. Loaned him for the season from United and he has got 29 goals in 30 appearances. Purposely got knocked out of the league and FA cups so I could focus on the league.
The Championship awaits.

Got promoted, but only won one of my first 10 in the Championship.
Might jump ship to Everton, they have offered me the job.

I began a new game Handheld with Northampton  . I've managed to sign Taarabt & Insua on loan so far. Tough transfer budget 28k but I will grind 'em up the league, solid keeper - Bunn. |

Started a new game earlier as Arsenal... won everything in pre-season and have now won the first 3 games in the PL season
My team:
GK: Lehmann
LB: Sagna
CB: Micah Richards
CB: Gallas
RB: Clichy
DM: Gilberto
RM: Fabregas
LM: V. Persie
AM: Nasri
RF: Milito
LF: Adebayor
But sice Adebayor is suspended for 3 games at the moment Van Persie is playing upfront with Milito while Hleb plays on the Left wing... wasnt sure about playing Fabregas in RM but he's done very well so far... 2 goals against birmingham in the last match... had to play him there because this system is working and Gilberto is playing amazingly

Aye. First league game was away, won it in a 5-3 thriller! ;D Vettel I suggest you sign Barcham from Spurs. I done a Northampton season before and he got me like 25 goals. Noted, I'll look at getting him in, cash is wafer thin, lol. Altho after 23 games, I'm 7th with 36 pts, main players are Taarabt, Insua, Kirk & Hubertz - Kirk & Hubertz have scored 18 between them thus far, just won four on the bounce for the first time too, I'm moving them forward, started a bit iffy, near the bottom for a while but winning games now. |

Pfft. Just drew 2-2 or 1-1 with Reading -.-
Hleb injured for a month and adebayor's suspension are what i'll blame it on.
In other news I sold Rosicky on deadline day to Inter for £14M
Grr, now in a international week/2 weeks... these annoy me I just wanna get on with the games
Edit: Hleb just returned to fitness... weird he must have recovered quicker than first thought

God that was close... just beat Fulham 3-2 but the result was bad because I went in at half time 3 - 0 up... a injury to Sagna was antoher low point.
But on a positive note Adebayor got 2 and Milito 1 meaning my front 2 seems to be working.
Just drew 0-0 with stuttgart... my verdict: lacked luck and creativity

Iv never really got the hang of it...i mean I play constantly. But I definately dont breeze my way thru it... i need to spend more time fine tuning things i recon. And not signing the likes of crespo or whoever on a free creating a 35 man squad full of people past their prime

Just finished my season (I've played it nearly all day LOL!), bit cheesed off with my squad though especially the defence. Towards the end of the season I ended up leaking goals for fun and ended up finishing 4th (though I was running away with the league in January-February) and got beat by Peterborough in the Play offs.
Didn't help though one of my vital players (Albert Jarrett) was ruled out for 13 months with a Damaged cruciate ligament injury.

My Northampton game just took a pleasant turn, a billionaire has invested in the club and I got £10 million for my second season. Feel like I just won the lotto, lol, has anyone ever had this happen to them? Finished ninth in my first, with 66 points. My biggest problem was team scored 90 goals but conceded 85, lol. Will be buying better defenders and a goalie . |
