Xpert Eleven: Season 11

[Roostophe]

Did Charlie want to help me stay up?

 

 

Ooh, six players in the Xpert 11.

[SPAMBOT4000]

oh godamnit, i'm pretty much guaranteed to not be promoted (for like the 3rd season running !_!) I'll have to get very lucky with DV not winning anything these last couple of games >_<

 

He is playing Domstercool next time and you in the final match so you still have shot

 

Yeah, definitely wouldn't say it's all over for third place just yet. You've got an almost guaranteed win next match. I'm not too confident with my away against Domstercool as a lot of my players aren't on form. If you win that and I lose, we'll be drawing on points but you've got a significantly better goal difference. Could all come down to our last match against each other which would be good.

[DuD]

I've already set my tactics ready for friday's game (against Rez's league champions). I really hope i at least match whatever Cubic get against BSO, or Me v Cubic on the last day is gonna be a huge game.. i don't think my heart'll be able to take it

 

I'm really looking forward to the change report though. I'm expecting great things, especially from my 17 year olds. Hopefully i won't be disapointed

[Jimbob]

A win. Much better i believe, after a draw and a loss.

[ReZourceman]

Just noticed that ReZ has won the league. Congrats.. you got a youth team you wanna field against me :p

 

Yes its true! I was like...."Waitta minute....HOT DAMN" at work earlier.

 

Congrats ReZ! The middle league has been very tough this season.

Congrats on Johan Fjällström too - he's a goal machine, and he's only 19!

 

Thanks! Yeah Johan is an absolute legend.

 

I'm very worried my goalkeeper is going to leave soon. He's getting old. Need to buy an amazing new keeper.

[Brian Mcoy]

Mcoy is pretty much destined to go down. Mcoy will be sure to bring some older experienced players into the club and try and perform better next season.

[Twozzok]

Could all come down to our last match against each other which would be good.

 

For you probably. I have an ominous feeling of sudden form drops !_!

 

If this were a movie, we'd both win our next games and then I'd have to win against you just to get by on goal difference. I hope to god this isn't a movie !_!

[Rowan]

Could be relegated if I'm not careful, another defeat

Are Everyday Events where someone has attempted to dirty trick you..? I seem to be having a few right now???

No they are random, dirty tricks will inform you that someone has done something nasty, if it has succeeded or not and if the person who did it was found out or not.

 

Just been scouting the promoted teams to the Premier, and holy shit at Oddys defense I just know that sicko will be champ again withint 1 or 2 seasons

They're completely random.

[DuD]

Cheers guys.. just wondered

[Charlie]

Did Charlie want to help me stay up?

 

 

Ooh, six players in the Xpert 11.

 

I don't really care who goes up or down. I just think it would be funny if you got relegated because you take it so seriously.

 

I needed to win my game to help me come 2nd so put out a good team.

[Roostophe]

Well, since I quit my official Xpert league team, I don't take it so seriousry (yep) anymore. So, neh...

[Mr_Odwin]

Oh but you do, and we all know it. Your 'not bothered' attitude can't hide the tears that we all hear falling on the keyboard.

[Jimbob]

It's not set for Recall yet. Last game is on Tuesday for me. Got a week off this week to allow the remainder of the games to be played (so all teams are on 15 games).

[Roostophe]

Oh but you do, and we all know it. Your 'not bothered' attitude can't hide the tears that we all hear falling on the keyboard.

 

Oh, you can hear that, can you? Well then, you must be able to hear this!

 

*unzips*

Oh but you do, and we all know it. Your 'not bothered' attitude can't hide the tears that we all hear falling on the keyboard.

Haha..

 

tip... tap...

tip... tap...

Wait, i think his tears are typing something =P

[Brian Mcoy]

Mcoy is quite glad that the season is almost over, Mcoy can get his change report and see what competition he has to not fail against next season.

[Cube]

Yippie!

 

My Xpert Team, Serenity Valley, are in 3rd Place of the league and we have 3 points and 8 goals over 4th with one match to go. So unless something drastic happens (he's against 1st Place, I'm against 2nd, so it shouldn't) my team will be promoted.

[Ellmeister]

Is anyone in the power league?

[Haden]

Last games of 2009!

 

 

When the loss streak is long

And the bad GD, the bad GD is yours alone

When you've sure you've had enough

Of this game

Hang on

 

Dysonism F.C 1-3 Haden United

 

A 4-3-3 playing United side bested a solid but un-dynamic 4-4-2 Dysonism outfit. Durov who was given the captains armband shot in a Agostini corner , even being a midfielder down, United created 4 chances to Dysonism's 1 in the 1st half. Weesle headed in a corner to make it 2-0 before the break. The pressure kept coming after the restart and Durov converted a cheaply given penalty to make it 3-0 on 49 minutes. Dysonism seemed to rally after this goal and created 3 chances after it against none made by United. However they would have had to had them all converted to have gained the draw. In the end only Twiggs attempt was on target, he headed in a sweetly placed Garcia cross. The win seems to place United on the road towards a title victory as they overcome this big fixture, for Dysonism relegation looms if results can't be gained/

 

Roostophe Rovers 2-2 Essex Elites

 

Something of a rivalry has developed between these two teams who before today have never drawn. This season the Elites have won the battle, with a victory early in the season against the Rovers and performances well above expectation, in comparison to the Rovers disappointing season and mentioned loss. Regardless Rovers wanted to swat away the troublesome Elites early, Rovers playing their daring 3-5-2 formation scored twice within 24 minutes both goals set up by the superb Mazzoleni. Misfortune soon befell the Rovers as first Hooke crossed in a corner that Dysdale headed home. Then just before the end of the 1st half Rovers midfield star Sheldon was taken off with a light injury. Hooke then made a later impact curling home a goal to make the away fans ecstatic. His celebration may have been viewed as excessive as just before the end of the match, Rovers midfielder Grover fulled by frustration barged into Hooke leaving him injured and earning himself a straight red. Rovers did better than their rivals Dysonism by picking up a point but still need some wins, the Elites have come on leaps and bounds from last season and leave the Rovers after 2 matches with 4 points.

The Sixty Fourthers 2-1 Secret United

 

Secret United lost a hard fought battle that they looked to be in control with most of the game. With 3 yellow cards and 3 light injuries the first half was a pitched battle between the two teams. The legend Brusling still with United for now, made the breakthrough as he shot in a great MacCalman cross. The 64s seemed less creative than United but somehow put one in the back of the net via a Goblecoqe header just before the end of the first half. However as the game closed up the 64s had their backs to the wall. But they frustrated United who looked the better side for much of the game. While launching one last attack United were caught by the 64s who hit back with Kamal shooting in a goal from close range. The 64s came away with a win needed to re-establish confidence at the club. While Secret United see their title hopes slip away after a great performance.

Tin Can Club 0-3 Madpool

 

Madpool demolished Tin Can Club in a comprehensive display of attacking football. In the first half Madpool created an incredible 8 chances against the 1 of the awful Tin Can Club. Quintal and Carey headed a goal in each to put Madpool 2-0 up after 16 minutes. The first half saw Madpool end with nearly 70% possession as they took it easy when the 2nd half started. Ullathorpe and Naranjo combined with Naranjo heading in an Ullathorpe cross to make it 3-0. Madpool may still be likely to go down but they have at times produced great football in this highly competitive league.

 

Analysis

 

Most Important Result: Dysonism F.C 1-3 Haden United, United seem to be home free with this result while Dysonism are looking relegation in the face.

 

Turned on the Style Award: Madpool, nearly 70% possession at one stage and 11 chances, amazing.

 

Player of the Day: Alfie Hooke, Essex Elites, shone in a tough game which he got stretched off of, but not before he made an impact.

 

 

AFC Rez Rabies 2-0 Noodle Esporte Clube

 

Rabies fended off a title challenger as they scored a big 2-0 victory against Noodle at home. Playing 4-3-3 Rabies were out for the kill but Noodle played 4-4-2 undaunted. The first half was very quiet with only 1 chance a piece. However soon into the 2nd half a wonderful Soder found the young wonder striker Fjallstrom with a through ball who broke the deadlock. After this Noodle found it hard to respond and it was Rabies who looked the more likely. A young but talented Noodle defense performed well above expectations to keep the Rabies at bay. However in injury time Fjallstrom made it 2 hitting in a close range shot. Rabies complete the double over Noodle, a statistic that is surely vital in their success considering this club has only lost 1 other time! Rabies are now almost sure to be promoted with Noodle looking to follow.

Battlestar Odwinica 4-0 Mcoys Sons

 

The Odwinica manager has given the Sons manager many a compliment in the past, but todays match felt like master and apprentice at times. The surely doomed Sons were dismantled by Odwinica in a near flawless fashion. The Sons played 4-3-3 but were hostage to Odwinica who played 4-4-2 being in control of every part of the field especially the midfield. 65% possession and 12 chances to 0 sum this match up. Tate and Bello scored two early goals to put the match beyond doubt after 27 minutes. Tate and Bello then added another goal each both from headers to make it 4. The 4 goals were provided one each from all of Odwinicas mid fielders. Odwinica have risen from a tough but flawed side to near promotion certainties in dramatic fashion. The Sons now seem likely to be relegated, their managers focus on youth has cost him this season but hopefully will pay off in the long term.

 

Silverdale Hotpot 1-1 Cubic County

 

Silverdale Hotpot faced in form Cubic County whose unbeaten run continued in a bad tempered match. The youth Harley broke away from Silverdale's defense that was for most of the game in good form, but Harley took advantage of this slip up and put County in the lead after 30 minutes. 5 yellow cards and 2 injuries one serious on Andervi the Silverdale midfielder followed, as both teams realized the seriousness of this encounter. With seconds to go Silverdale threw everyone forward in this virtual 6 point relegation battle. 19 year old Hudson took a desperate shot as the seconds ticked away, it looped over the County defense and cracked the top of the bar to go in. Silverdale fans screamed the house down as County fans despaired that their team had been sunk in the dying seconds. The momentum is still with County but this was a vital point for Silverdale.

Emo Blades 3-0 Edd Kirby Athletic

 

Another relegation skirmish occurred as the Blades brushed aside Athletic with 3 goals to none. Athletic were outwitted by the Blades, Athletic played 3-4-3 trying to force the Blades defense open. However the Blades prepared a 5-4-1 formation leaving their defense prepared and sole attacker not as isolated as usual. The result was the best match of Zecas career in what has been a very poor season. Zeca first scored with a header on 36 minutes to put the Blades 1-0 ahead. He complimented this late in the 2nd half, first with a violent shot to make it 2-0. Then Zeca broke away from the weakened Athletic defense and smashed it in the top right corner. Athletic had no response and the Blades earned a much needed victory.

 

Analysis

 

Most Important Result: AFC Rez Rabies 2-0 Noodle Esporte Clube, the double is completed and Rabies are near being crowned champions.

 

Turned on the Style Award: Battlestar Odwinica, an awesome display of tactics and offense.

Player of the Day: Afonso Zeca, Emo Blades, has had a horrid season but really shone today.

 

 

Made of Win 1-1 Martinists Men

 

Made of Win scored a rare point as they held the men to a 1-1 draw at home. In what has to be considered one of the poorest matches of the season both teams seemed to limp out of their locker rooms. Men however started brightly with White scoring after 15 minutes. The rest of the half was marked my 1 chance for Made of Win and an injury a piece for both the teams. Buttery scored his first goal for Made of Win this season with a diving header on the 72 minute. The few remaining Made of Win fans cheered as their side gained another point to put towards their embarrassing record.

 

Soap Box Utd 0-0 Recall United

 

In what could be seen as a crucial title and promotion match both teams came out very cautiously. With Soap Box Utd playing 5-3-2 and Recall United playing 5-4-1 both teams stacked their defenses desperate not to loose. And in the end neither team did. Soap Box had more chances but both their attackers played very poorly and were closed down by Recalls impressive defense. Deacon played quite well for Recall, but 1 striker vs 5 defenders are very bad odds. These two teams may have done themselves each a favor as Viagra and the Munchers chase them for titles and other promotion spots.

 

Discount Viagra 4-3 Eights United

Viagra and United took part in a titanic battle worthy of classical chronicles in the best match of the day. Just like their last match both teams played 4-3-3 and the results were explosive. Flatland scored after 2 minutes with a shot that rebounded in off the post for United. Ewing broke away from the United defense to make it 1-1 going into half time. United seemed ready for Viagra and poured forward creating 6 chances and gaining a penalty after 2 minutes. However Gresdahls blasting shot was saved by the Viagra goalie who pushed it aside. Viagra now attacked back with a Jordan header and Ewing breakaway making it 3-1. Flatland mounted a United response with a screamer to make it 3-2 minutes after this. Viagra were not shaken as Flood hit his own long range shot a curler from the corner of the box into United's net. The drama in this incredible game was not over, Smerud dodged into the Viagra box and bundled the ball into the back of the net. Viagra looked more dangerous but United were making more chances. However in the end Viagra held out in one of the most entertaining games of the season. Viagra looked to have ended Uniteds promotion hopes in this titanic struggle. But United should be proud in participating in such a great match.

Jaffa Munchers 3-0 Complete Domstercool

 

Maybe now outsiders, the Munchers kept the pressure on as they dispatched of Domstercool with relative ease. Molhov was on fine form for the Munchers helping create two goals. Firstly one for Poschner the young striker who has been on fire this season, who headed in a Molhov cross. Molhov crossed again for McAnuff to head in. Molhov was injured later in the game but the goals kept on coming. McAnuff complimented his goal by setting up Poschner for another, Poschner easily finished a nice ground cross to make it 3. Munchers still have what it takes to go up and proved it with a elegant performance against an out of ideas Domstercool.

 

 

Analysis

 

Most Important Result: Soap Box Utd 0-0 Recall Utd, neither team was able to take advantage in this tense game.

Turned on the Style Award: Discount Viagra and Eights United, for the first time ever a shared award, a great game with drama and style from both teams.

Player of the Day: Willie Ewing, Discount Viagra, got the goals that mattered in this amazing game.

[DuD]

Really need a better result than Cube tomorrow. Maannnnn.. i'm actually bricking it over a game of x11. haha

 

Will it all come down to final day drama....?

[jayseven]

Hooray! I got an award thing!

 

It's my last match of the season in just over 12 hours. Set some rather shoddy stupid WRONG BAD tactics just now. Cursing my face off as it is, but lost the will.
