Ellmeister Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Do they not leave till the end of the season then?
EEVILMURRAY Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 WHAT?! One of my players has decided to retire also.
jayseven Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I was really hoping that more people would lose more players in order to give me more of a chance :P curse you all!
EEVILMURRAY Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 It's only a goalie I didn't use. So not much harm done.
Haden Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 God I am predicting a slaughter of my poor team tomorrow. Still I am glad I am safe in mid table obscurity.
Ten10 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) I think I'm going to throw in the towel on this. Just can't seem to cut it like I used to. Lost my skills, but for some reason my players all want to stay but they just can't cut it. [insert Fergie loses his balloon gif here] Fixed: Edited May 12, 2009 by Ten10
Charlie Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Hell yes! Away victory for me at Party at richters takes me top on goal difference (my superior goals scored is finally paying dividends!) as Shorty drew!
Happenstance Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Dunno whats going on with my team the past few weeks, they're letting me down!!!
Cube Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 A similar score to my match against Oddy. Although I'm still quite a bit behind.
ReZourceman Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Hmmm. I am out of the zone still, but it doesn't mean much. This will be an epic battle to see who will get relegated.
Jimbob Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Got myself a nice 1-0 win over Made of Win. Keeps me secure in mid-table
Mundi Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 So in the lower league there was no movement between places except first and second place.
jayseven Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 It's an interesting last 5 rounds. I've been scrawling on a sheet of paper for a few minutes, trying to work out point ranges for me and my relegation combatants. I figure that I have the best set of games to try and squeeze points from; with games against cube, Domster and ReZ being evenly matched to me. Most other people in the bottom half only have one or two 'even' games, and it's Gaggle with the next best chance. Haden vs. Happenstance for 4th place will tie in with the relegation battle massively. Haden has 4 out of his last 5 games against us lot, while Happenstance only has 3. Dyson has a tricky set of games left as he'll be up against lots of mid-tablers, while roosophe has less games but marginally easier opponents, and Oddy -- well oddy has a cakewalk. Um..I predict cube to go down, and either moogle or gaggle - depending on who loses that match :P Lower league's promotions are, I reckon, tied up now. The question of the order of the top two is to be decided. Shorty's game in hand will, I think, seal his victory position. Tin Can Club does have to face to face both Shorty and Charlie, but he should be safe in teh knowledge that Ell has to win all of his last 4 games to steal his place.
Mr_Odwin Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 Minute 1: Jamie Benson in O3 FC was injured and was substituted by Leo Boothroyd If this happens I know it's not a good sign for the game that follows.

Cakewalk, with a sudden influx of cash too. That 18 5 goalkeeper is going for a tidy sum.
Charlie Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I'm quietly confident about getting the top spot... I'm thinking that I can win all of my last 4 games and I've got lucky as I'm playing Tin Can Club at home the week before Shorty plays them away, which if all goes to plan, will be a must win game for Shorty AND TCC. The first 3 games I've got are all against the bottom teams so should really be winnable, unfortuantely Shorty has to be play them too so we're even stevens until the Tin Can Club games...
Haden Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Wow shit did not expect that to happen! How sick though it looks like I have helped Oddy to win the title! Hopefully can keep momentum up and take 4th place which I will be satisfied with. If any relegation threatened sides want to bribe me now is your chance. Don't want to rub salt in the wound Villan but I am puzzled that you went defensive I think you would have slaughtered me if you went offensive or even normal. Still who am I to speak you are 10 points clear of me! lol Also Relegation battle is looking awesome as a neutral, its going to be close I think Im gonna study everyones run ins now being the xpert geek I am lol.

Cube Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Unfortunately I have Roosophe and Dyson. I'll probably have to scrape a draw from at least one of them to have a chance of staying up. I really hope I don't repeat the scores from the beginning (draw from Jay, and losses against Roostophe, Dyson and Dom).
Shorty Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Why don't I win anymore? >.< what sort of 3-forwards offensive play leads to a no score draw? ffsfsffs Now I've lost the top spot for the first time since it started pretty much, since I never seem to score any goals. EVER. And another player injured and unable to play. thx ellmeister, srsly. Edited May 12, 2009 by Shorty
Ellmeister Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I played cautiously! and careful (i think?)! I have a few major players on yellow cards so I don't want them missing games! To be far, I'm really happy about it. Managing to not lose against both you and charlie considering you've got slightly better teams meaning I'm not all bad! Shame about losing to Maddog though. He wasn't even playing until recently and he's doing really well! Hopefully Tin Can Club fucks up :p
Mundi Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 This is going to be very intense, I think I can assume that I will win MadDog and Recall united but the games against Soap Box and Secret is very unknown to me. I think a draw is the best I can hope against them.
jayseven Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I think I'm going to throw in the towel on this. Just can't seem to cut it like I used to. Lost my skills, but for some reason my players all want to stay but they just can't cut it. [insert Fergie loses his balloon gif here] Fixed: 1) Loltastic gif - never seen that before :P 2) DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE! Stick around. It's only a few minutes of your week. You'll get back into it again - everyone does. If we're lucky we could get enough new folk next season to get THREE leagues going, so you would be in the middle league and ever eager to avoid relegation at this point of the season
Ellmeister Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Yuo got to keep at it :p I'm probably not going to be promoted, but I want to win it next year to be promoted! Reckon you could beat me? :p
Roostophe Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Wow shit did not expect that to happen! How sick though it looks like I have helped Oddy to win the title! Hopefully can keep momentum up and take 4th place which I will be satisfied with. If any relegation threatened sides want to bribe me now is your chance. Don't want to rub salt in the wound Villan but I am puzzled that you went defensive I think you would have slaughtered me if you went offensive or even normal. Still who am I to speak you are 10 points clear of me! I was being cautious, tbh. Even though I had home advantage today, I still wasn't sure I could beat you. I thought my win over you earlier this season was a fluke. Maybe you're not so much of a hard team that I'm just going to end up losing to. I lost to Oddy and Dyson this season and I'm sure I'll have a difficult match against Happenstance on Friday. Kicking myself now, though, that I could have played offensive and might have gone top.
