Haden

What is the status of Undertaker his agent isn't returning my calls I haven't seen him since he was buried alive under your alliance cup.

Do we have any new members coming in? I thought I remembered someone saying they were inviting a friend, J7 might be coming back so that would be good.

Put in a bid baby! If he decides to grace Rangers I will still be looking for a striker to boost my forward line.

Plus 14 change report Still I am a bit sad my youth goalie, Conden and two forwards got no visible jump. To upper league teams, I am wanting a new 26 plus midfielder who is at least 9 skill and possibly a similarly aged/skilled forward.

First lotto I have participated in :P I pick 9!

I will PM some people if you want Nikos has contacts with at least 3 managers, are MadDog and Jimbob still doing their usual roles? Love cup season

Meant to add Oddy to that list of top teams as well

Big time baby! I want to make it past the second round in the first time in my clubs history so I need lots of awful teams to join like Bayern :p

Don't do that and dont worry about it. All the current top teams, Eights, Inter, Silverdale, Madpool went through seasons of ups and downs check out their club histories before securing their positions as top tier clubs. I would suggest trimming the fat a bit Fergie style. Dijk can be moved on to LA Galaxy now and Brakel is not really keeping up with the players around him. I generally like to have at least one 19 year old or younger in every position developing apart from goalkeepers maybe. I would deffo think of bringing in a new youth midfielder and maybe adding to the forward line but money may be better spent training. Also think about how your defense would cope if two of your big guns retired next season. You have done great, think about it when you come into the Middle League next season you will dominate and your devs will be sick, you will have time to play around with new tactics and your team will be ready take on the top league from a position of strengh in two seasons time. That is if you can beat me! (You will...)

Congrats Eights and Yellow! Finished the season as the only unbeaten team really should have made some PRs about that :p To all upper teams, I will be VIPing myself again soon if you have any older midfielders you want to get rid of let me know, looking at the teams who will be in my league next season they will all wipe out my poor young midfield with ease.

What is all the fuss about title races? Astle keeping our unbeaten run alive! We are basically like Villa at the moment, that is if Villa had Messi in their side to win them games while the youth developed. And didn't have losers for fans like Roostophe

Yeh it is wierd that you would apply to a new team and not turn up, having said that isnt that how you got the Federer guy? He seems a very good new manager. Talking of which that is pretty much my last loseable match, against Federer away. Hoping I can go the whole season unbeaten but we will see I guess will offically win the league on Friday especially if Co-op and Federer draw.

Who is the new guy who took over Bubbles FC? Hope tommorow goes ok would settle for a draw to keep my unbeaten streak alive.

Come back and join us Same with my new MOTD style thing that means I dont do a report lol, Christmas is busy.

The Report: Starting where time began. Significant Result Dragooooo 2-4 Battlestar Odwinica This result is significant for several reasons, firstly dealing with the winners. Odwinica seemed a threat as soon as they entered the top league with the history that went with their manager but they have been in a state of arrested development for several seasons. At the 52 minute they affirmed that this season their potential was going to be realised when they went 4-0 up against Dragooooo. They often won or drew matches in previous seasons but it was often on a knifedge or without ever dominating teams, today affirmed a pattern, the old Oddy is back free kick hatricks and all and this is something to fill every manager with a Winter chill. The other significance of this match is the performance of Dragooooo. Many sides have been promoted to the top league and many have left with a whimper never to be seen again, this will not be Dragooooo. While AC Elites have drawn twice Dragooooo have won twice and not drawn once, they have not been afraid to play on thier terms. In this match they had 6 chances to 8 for Odwinica and it was a high octane game that went back and forth. They may well go down but most Dragooooo games are ones that people watch on MOTD, they will be back all strikers blazing. Player Examination Steven Gerrard, Madpool: A 10 skill 26 year old midfielder he is at the heart in every way of the Madpool side that relies on their incredible midfield to boss sides around. He is currently at 11 points for 11 games. That means on average in every game he makes an impact against his opponent. Against a stubborn Elites side he crossed in a beautiful assist and shot in a casual volley to put the game beyond doub. He is at the apex of a dominant but steadily ageing Madpool midfield, his poweful shots and eligant crosses make him a constant threat. Tactical Brilliance Winston Gardens: 3-5-2 daring. WG have not been known for their goal scoring prowess this season, scoring only 12 goals before this game but their manager really went for it in a relegation battle against on form Real Peeps. It looked to have backfired at half time as Real Peeps were bossing chances 5-1 and were looking the more likely to go on and win with a 1-1 score line. Indeed after a close range Nutt effort Garders looked doomed, but in the space of 2 minutes Goodison and Ross put the home side in front to the joy of the home support. WG had 4 chances to 1 in the 2nd half and 60% possesion in the overall game. It was a risky tactic but one that sees them out of the drop zone and gives them hope for the 2nd half of the season. Teams on the rise Eights United: There 5-0 victory against current champions Inter surely is the passing of the crown. Look unstoppable and have the best attacking and defensive record in the league, the perfect storm? Real Peeps: Suffered a loss but nearly won with a side that was not their best, also they are 5 points above the drop zone. If they can stay up they may be hard to shift next season. Silverdale Hotpot: The glory of Inter, the rapid ascent of Odwin and Eights, the potential of Madpool. Silverdale tend to be forgotten but they are former top tier champions and with another win against the 64s look to quietly keep the pressure up on Eights United. Momentum loss The Sixty Fouthers: The team that seems an eternal enigma, so much talent but never quite enough to compete in the top league at the top level. A poor defeat leaves them in the relegation zone and looking at another yo-yo season. Intergalactico Stars: The worst defeat in recent memory for a side that is usually so focused in every area of the pitch. Seems destined to obscurity for this season as Eights United, Odwinica and Silverdale battle for the Stars title. Dragooooo:[/ba Praised eariler in the article but sadly they have lost some momentum, they should keep to their philosophy and their long term goals. Next season will be better for a more mature established side whatever league they are in. Looking Onwards The 64s v Winston Gardens FC: A huge battle for these two sides, if Winston can get a draw out of this fixture I could see them surviving. The 64s have to dominate midfield and make chances to see this one out. Madpool vs Eights United: Another titanic clash, Madpool have a very slim shot at the title which will be finish with anything less than a win in this battle. Eights United look so strong but need to show championship winning heart in this game. Dragooooo v Silverdale Hotpot: After 64s vs WG I think this could be a very entertaining game, Dragooooo will be going all out to score 3 points and take a huge scalp, Silverdale fans will have their eyes on the Madpool match and know today may be a huge fixture in the title race. Real Peeps v AC Elites: Peeps will look to get back to winning ways against an Elites side that has lost the will to win. It may be a dull affair if Peeps field a youth side and Elites decide to close ranks and stifle creativity. Intergalactico Stars v Battlestar Odwinica: The best two tactical managers bar none meet in what should be the game that any potential manager should study for years to come. I can't seperate these sides and would bet on a draw but one that has chances, goals, drama and both managers pacing up and down until the whistle is blown.

Undertaker may be someone I would be interested in, my midfield is the thing I really need to boost at the moment.

No way baby! My unbeaten run will never dieeeeeee!!! Inter if any of your players wanna jump ship Arsenal style send them my way! Sierously I need to get another good midfielder though.

Yeh there could be an econ incentive option that would be quite interesting. Thought I had the game won today, glad to keep my unbeaten record alive but still I am going to have to rely on a Co-op slip up or for my strikers to start to open up a can of whoop ass to catch his GD!

I doubt Alex listens to much of Mancinis nonsense either This Friday is a huge day for the Shield. Madpool is away to Inter from the NWO. RP is at home to high flying DuD. Rangers are away to Co-op from the NWO. We right what is wrong. The Sea of change is coming. Soon no-one will be able to stop the Shield.

Co-op outfoxed me in every way today and now has huge momentum for the title. I am going to do a Mancini and say he is odds on to win hoping somehow that will mean he will go to pieces like Man U did last season!

Win today as expected but some annoying injuries and suspensions just when I need my squad to be at its best against a Co-op double

Nice win today, hope Lucas will do me a favour against Co-op but I want to keep my unbeaten record up anyway so I should not need favours. Sorry I have been awful with reports I will try and do some this week if I have time.

Madpool (Seth Rollings the talent) Rising Phoenix (Roman Reigns the muscle) Haden Rangers (Dean Ambrose the voice) Haden, Mad, Chris it has been my pleasure to have worked with you for a while the lower leagues but it seems it a bit odd to be interviewing you now, when many people say Many people who are these people? Peeps if you have a question to ask us just ask. Ok are you three working for the champ Nikos. Nope. Ok so why are you here? That is the question Peeps that is the question you should be asking, we sat down in the lower leagues and saw things clearly, teams here have to answer to Peeps and Peeps has to answer to Xpert and what is Xpert it is a poll, it is a popularity contest! That is not right that is wrong we stepped in and righted those wrongs, we are a Shield against wrongs. Cmon guys everything you have done have benifited Nikos. Peeps it is Happenstance you ever heard of him? It is not about benifiting Nikos it is about right and wrong Nikos is a two times champ in this era that should be celebrated am I right? Rising I would love to get your take on this. When I wanna PR something I will PR it. Hey Peeps we get your getting at we read what you are PRing we are not the Nexus we are not the NWO we are about honour, we are a shield, we are the shield, we are the shield. Hey I have something to say, we said enough.

lol 71% possesion was hoping for 10-0 at half time after Emo got a midfielder sent off leaving him with 2 midfielders lol. My next game agianst Leeds sees the battle of the two best lower league players Astle vs Mancebo

Not this year now you are allied with me you are bound to win the league! Perfect 30!
