On Xbox, if I ever had whiny/screamy 12 years olds shouting abuse down their headsets, I'd just mute them! Most of the time I'd be in party chat anyway so I wouldn't hear them. I would love to see live video chat in game lobbies, but I worry we'd end up with the video game version of chat roulette.

Oh great, I have to play the Air Conditioning Elites tomorrow on their own turf and then it's away to Dragooooo after that. My two nemeses back to back and both away from home. I would be happy if I get points out of both of those games.

Good result all things considered. Could have even won it but the 64thers' defence was solid. Next up: away to Rising Phoenix. That will be a toughie!

In Britain people generally don't tip bar staff for simply pouring you a drink. The mentality here is that you don't tip staff for a job that they're expected to do anyway. The point of tipping is to reward exceptional service, not to bribe people into treating you well.

Haden, what happens if there's a 0-0 draw? I'll go 1-1 with first goal in the 30th minute. You're kicking me out of the wolfpac?! That's okay, you guys were weighing me down. Yellow Sub is now a free agent.

Holy fucking shit that was awesome. What an incredible hour of television. Now to watch it again!

I'll admit that I was at first a bit sceptical because I don't really play any football manager games but I gave it a go last season and I'm now an Xpertaholic. It's really easy to pick up and as gaggle said you don't have to worry about work commitments getting in the way. Anyone curious should give it a try.

I wouldn't mind a game. You might even be a good challenge for my youth team. What say you Dragooooo?

And I was just about to replace him with a youth.

He's 19 years old and talented. I saw him play at Oxford when we played Cheltenham and he was clearly above League 2 standard. Gifted but he knew it, came across as a bit cocky. I'm really not sure what Richards has to do to get in the England team.

Beaten today. Not fussed, I wasn't expecting much since my players' forms were dreadful from me not training them. My focus at the moment is on strengthening my squad for the middle league. I was feeling generous and let you have that one. I won't be such a walkover in the league.

We're all forgetting the real winner today. Me, who won the NE fantasy football this year. :P

Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

Congratulations Dragooooo, you deserved it. After such a good start, I was worried that those middle four games would kill my season. If only I had won one of those games it might have been different at this stage. Looking at my squad and comparing to Dragooooo's and AC's mine definitely looks the weakest and I'll probably be the favourites for relegation next year.

Nice flat Rez. Tomorrow I'm moving into my new flat for good and I'm very excited about it.

YES. Promotion has been secured! Awesome stuff, never expected to be anywhere near promotion at the start of the season. I hoping you two will draw and I'll sneak in through the back door and claim the title. I'll still need Bayer to do me a massive favour and deny Dragooooo the win in the last game of the season.

Peeps would stay up on goals scored. Close match today, could have gone either way. Very pleased the we converted four out of our five chances.

I'll play in the cup as well.

A well fought draw with Haden today. Two five star performances this week is very encouraging, even if I didn't end up winning. It's looking very tight at the top. Crisfield Seahawks are on fire at the moment and they're playing Dragooooo next so that should prove very interesting.

The Wire. The greatest TV series ever made. I would love to participate, but it's hard for me to commit to mafias at the moment. If I don't end up playing, then I'll definitely be reading along.

It's good a get back to winning ways after that dreadful spell. And my biggest win too, even if Fedex were playing with 10 men in the second half because they didn't have any subs to replace their injured player! The title is still a very real possibility, but I'll need the teams above me to slip up.

It's all going wrong at Submarine! I'm starting to think that my team isn't as strong as my league position makes them out to be and perhaps I'm not ready to go up yet. Development is looking good for next season I think, everyone's DVs seems to be good at the moment (at or above 10?) so if I don't go up this year I'll stand a good chance next year. I'm still in the chase though. Seven games to go with only one match against promotion rivals. Fedex next, so hopefully my form will turn around there!

Sorry Rez. As much as I'd love to participate, my job is taking over my life at the moment so I can't fully commit my time to a mafia. I'd just end up being inactive.

Yesterday was an awesome day as I finally sorted myself out a place to live! It's a nice furnished flat in Edgbaston about 20 minutes walk from the city centre (and my office) and comes with a garage for my car, so it ticks all the boxes. Signed the contract and paid the deposit, gonna move in in a couple of weeks time!

Devastated with today's defeat. My tactics were decent, but my goalie gets sent off and the Elites commit daylight robbery for the second time in a week. I knew the games would be tough, but to lose them both 1-0 is hard to take. That's 3 defeats in a row now, my confidence is dwindling. Desperately need some key players to hit form. It's very very exciting! And those four teams are playing against each other on Tuesday: Submarine vs Dragooooo Elites vs Haden Could do with the Elites doing me a favour, even though they've done me no favours so far!
