Bummer PG. I was watching that game and although the lead changed about 7 times i though you might have had him at 4-3. Still hope springs eternal and even if you do get relegated at least you will have the opportunity to train some middies and quit playing CA. How much cash do you have in the bank? I had an unexpected loss this week and will be hoping that the third placed team can't win by 7 goals so i can hold onto 2nd spot (i have a walkover). I also stuffed my team lineups when i went to falls festival and one of my trainees missed training along with a middy getting injured that ruined my league lineup. Ah well, they say everyone screws up their lineup at least once.

Yeah i thought about that. But I really needed a winger that could play offensively AND towards middle (ie passing and PM) and with the market for secondaries booming at the moment...

Bought the following for 468K. I couldn't use transfer compare so was this a good deal or was it a ripoff. i bought him as a winger but he can pretty much play anywhere. The bad news is I'm down to second on goal difference and I will almost certainly not be able to retake top spot.

Some of the quotes from that article sound so familiar: I wish some of the posts i made when i was Geordie-baiting after Souey joined his "bigger club" were still available. Seriously, is there any roverites who didn't see this coming?

I'm getting some pretty awesome ratings in my matches recently (3 x passable in defence and 2 x Inadequate in attack). Plus three of my players are getting 3.5 stars as well (shutup PG and BigA, 3.5 stars is good for me ). I'm still winning my league but i've got a MoTS this week against the second team. He has a better midfield and is playing at home but I have much better defence and attack so i guess we'll see. I beat him 4-3 at home in the reverse earlier this season in a game that we both MoTSd

I voted for the older players (ie not from the 90s) for the other positions but I simply cannot go past Duff. For me he is clearly our best ever left winger. There are certainly other wingers who have been underrated or performed a great service to the club but honestly, if you put them next to Duff there is little question about who is the better player.

I had my first loss of the season 4-2. Not much i could do since my 2nd best middy was out on a red card and my 3rd best was injured after a couple of minutes. I could only muster up a wretched midfield ratiing as my two fill-ins had weak/poor form. My best striker was also missing through injury. Still it has been a happy couple of weeks for Supine Rovers with 2.7M in the bank, and a new coach and stadium. Glad to see the other BRFCS members are doing well. I know PG is doing it tough in div III but it seems like us lower league dwellers are holding our own.

Thank God Forrest looks like getting the nod. For all his good qualities Sherwood's achievements pale in comparison to those of Forrest. The better man looks like winning this vote.

AU$2.8 Million. That's how much my Youth Pull (above) just sold for. People are going nuts for players with secondaries!

Why have a shoot-out at all Den (sorry if this has been covered). Whether you win by a goal or by 5 goals it doesn't matter does it? More people voted for Forrest so surely he should get the nod. If this turns out like the US "election" where the guy with less votes eventually wins....

Fulham 2-1 Blackburn Did i get the 60000th post?

Wow. Glenn McGrath hits a half-century and i pull this: Kevin Heath (47786131) 18 years, passable form, healthy A pleasant guy who is balanced and honest.

Further to that, as a scoring trainer i think the best decision i made was to get a defensive coach. I get high inads/low passables for my defence (which consists of solid or passable defenders) which is easily enough to beat a CA attack.

hahaha....I remember before England played Australia everyone on this board was predicting 0-5 victories for England (except for the Australians) and boy didn't those prediction come back to haunt them (3-1 anyone?). In some ways, such as administration and support for the national competition, Australia is a football backwater but when it comes to the talent available to the national squad we are *very* competitive. Australia 2-1 Norway Emerton Someoneson Grella PS For those that haven't seen them play keep an eye on Grella And Bresciano. Both are very talented Mids.

Unquestionably the greatest victory EVER in the history of Supine Rovers. A comeback, a full house in the new stadium, 7 goals, highest ever ratings, and a double hattrick to Supine's very own Felix Bradley: I MoTSd the match since it was 1 vs 2 and he had a better midfield and i was *absolutely* correct to do it (have a gimme game this week). Now all i have to do is sell a couple of players to pay for my solid coach and fit in another stadium upgrade before the end of the season. Can't believe i went from a 15k to a 25k stadium and still sold out! Commiserations PG. Seems like you were robbed this week

Yeah but Berg was hardly a glamarous player like Beckham or a contraversial player like Roy Keane so his autobiography doesn't need the publicity-seeking factoids that others might. I'll buy a copy of it as Berg has always come across as a very controlled, measured and sensible player and I would welcome his insight into behind-the-scenes at BRFC.

Won 2-5 after being down 2-0 at half-time. I went from having 48% posession in the first half to having 66% posession in the second half....some people never learn. I'm 4 from 4 at the moment which is bloody awesome for a promoted team i reckon. Okie: Can i have some of your YP luck...i pulled rubbish again this week.

til fiskeskjær = your boat? Seriously would the Norwegian gangster posse kindly pull their heads in a little bit. I think we're all a bit sick of conspiracy theories, gamstpedersenism (a crippling ailment afflicting those who join their As to their Es), and Norwegian in-jokes (there's a place for that kind of thing...IT'S F**KING CALLED NORWAY!!!).

Anyone remember the race mission (started outside the nightclub) from Vice City? That was the the hardest mission ever in a game IMHO. It took me about 30 attempts to finally get it right. How does this dancing mission stack up to that?

*sigh* back down to the bottom of the table with Norwich scraping a draw against City. Still i think rovers can get something out of the game on Saturday.

Two teams with nothing to lose going at it like newlywed Spaniards. What more could you ask for? Norwich 1-3 Blackburn

Bejenkt = acquaintance or friend. So cull your homoerotic inferrences Rad .

Can't afford anything bigger at the moment PG but I also can't afford not to upgrade it as I have the smallest arena in my div. I have just had 3 home games on the trot so I used that cash to upgrade my stadium. I don't think I'll end up selling any trainees this season so my attendances will pretty much support my expenses.

Upgraded my stadium for 15500 to 25000. I may have to upgrade again later in the season as my team is playing exceptionally well at the moment Unfortunately my next priority has to be a solid coach with better leadership (currently have passable/wretched) so i won't be able to afford anything else. I beat the second team (i'm first) 6-1 and am now 3 points clear at the top of the table. Mind you my good TS is making my midfield look outrageously effective and that TS is going to drop.

It's the truth (as I see it ).
