Spanish Bank v Moleicester City

Two very expansive sides, both creating chances and scoring goals. Can't pick a winner, high scoring draw

A game won by the movement of moles attacking players against Rio and Puyol who are not the force they used to be. Very little between the sides though

Two very good attacking sides here, which I felt was tipped in the favour of Moleicester as I think their attackers would have had more success against the Spanish Bank CBs, than vice versa. I felt Spanish Bank were missing a real focal point up front

I like the idea from Bank, but for me I think Moleicester will gain the upper hand in midfield, and despite Bank presenting a threat, I think they miss Benteke up top. I like Moleicester's front four a lot, and I think they cause a lot of problems, and are able to give City a win

Atalanta Falcons v FC Murder

Strong side from Falcons but I don't think anyone can match Murder man for man at the moment and they earn their way to an entertaining win.

I'm sorry but 4-4-2 does not win matches anymore. Verratti and Dembele were able to pick their moments and set up a beautiful goal for Reus early on, Ballo scored late on but a second reus goal in the second half won the game

Two strong sides again. Murder have set themselves up well and have made some top signings, whilst Atalanta continue to go from strength to strength. I can't separate them tbh.

I like the set up to Falcons, there midfield three compliment each other perfectly. However I do feel they could benefit from having a target man playing at the head of the front 3, as sometimes when on the back foot, they may need an out ball. I like the set up from Zidane's side, they are showing good intent, and attacking flair. I think they're worth a point.

VFL Bassender v FC ElphickforJustics

Bassender have developed really well into a world class side, E4J look strong but with Gerrard advanced it leaves Nocerino too much to do to stop the Bassender AM's and it costs them the game despite the goalscoring partnership upfront.

Trebs must be a genius because he's turned around bassender ridiculously well. A tight game that trebs side eventually won. The championship is so tight!

Both managers have done great jobs on these sides and this league is evenly matched throughout. Bassender won this one because although on paper, the two sides are well matched, the tactics were better and made better use of their players.

I like Elphick's team, and if they put more effort in, I think they have a good basis to go from, however on this day Bassender are simply better set up and better instructed, so they pick up a routine win

Afternoon, have to say was expecting the usual 1-1 vs GSC

PFA CB of the year Rio

I'm sorry but 4-4-2 does not win matches anymore.

Come on show yourself, you need to be named & shamed, come on

Break a leg in the exam GSC

Yeah, do that. Then they might let you pass because they feel sympathy for your injury.

BIG WIN

Hello everyone!

Fan we're gonna bring Paul Lambert and his band of merry man down with a good old thrashing at the Carra on Saturday

Results (Fixtures), Tables and Top Scorers all updated

Very, very tight at the top of the championship

Finally off the negative points tally I started on.

Targetting 4th place in the Championship.

2 wins, a draw and 2 losses in the league since I took over at Bratwurst.

Mid table

This week, tactics are due on Friday as normal, but because of the bank holiday votes, results, lawyers and injuries will be a day later.

See the announcements above for the coming deadlines

4 wins 3 draws 0 losses

Top of the table somehow

#undefeated

Mid table

I fancy you for another this week as it's you v me.

My own transfers and the injuries have left me a bit thin on defenders this week. I'm considering just taking the hit and not trying to do something about it

MY BENDER HAS BEEN INJURED

My first game back was against you Afro. Nearly took you down with the 4-4-1, man marking system.

Hopefully I can get Top 3 in the league now, only a point off Gregers I think

I'm a bit more relaxed about the league games now.

Winning this week was massive and has given me a handy gap. Think I now only need 3 points from 3 games.

I'm sorry but 4-4-2 does not win matches anymore.

No one going to own up?

Are tables/top gs table done? Id assume im mid table. Balo must be doing well in scorers though.

Yeah you've pretty much got it sealed now Afro.

Only 2 points seperate me, Marky and Gregers. Bring it!

I also have a cup semi final to look forward too (that's all Trebs btw, so cheers for that lol)

I'm a fan of 4-4-2 Zebs as I have said the past two weeks.

If used properly it's still mightly effective

Seems we can't get enough of each other

Tactics sorted. All 10 outfield players, stick close to Mandzukic.

0-0 sorted

I'm a fan of 4-4-2 Zebs as I have said the past two weeks.

I know you have Olly. Think it was last week you gave the positive feedback on it.

Simply saying 442 doesnt work anymore is BS. That person deserves to be named & shamed.

Very few teams play 4-4-2 nowadays, I wonder when it will come back into fashion?

I don't think it's really gone out of fashion, it's just tweaked slightly to be more flexible these days. City seem to play a variant of 4-4-2 when Tevez and Aguero play.

And that's why they didn't win the title

Oh well added the Brazilian who looks like a starved african

Bull and fan didn't vote

Olly's football opinion is from about 1924.

So Afro, Marky or Gregers

I'm starting to work out what GSC stands for. Just need the G

Starved African sounds like it could be the name of a rival pubic hairstyle to the Brazilian.

No, can't be that.

I imagine it would be something more logical

How did the exam go?

"Nipping down the salon to get a Starved African"

s'alright

Madonna is getting to old to get a Starved African now. The jig is up.

Cheers GSC, I had eliminated Afro as he doesnt make comments like that. So im down to Marky or Gregers.

Well which ever one of you it was, shame on you. You have let your self down, your have let your pretend players down & most of all you have let Scholes+ down. Hang your head in shame for such silliness.
I am thoroughly disappointed in you

The other one who didnt say it, go get yourself a & enjoy the Champions League match tonight.

GSC wrote:Might sell Pisczcek I guess

Why

Looking for a quality left back.

Could anyone who was part of the Realistic League please vote on the semi finals? Deadline is midnight tonight and it would be very much appreciated. All votes PM'd to me

Where do people think I need to improve?

depends what formation you intend to play looking at your squad you lack wingers

Tonight showed why Messi is better than Ronaldo. Messi doesn't have that "Useless switch" Ronaldo seems to possess.

Ronaldo does have a tendency to go missing in big games

Yeah he was fairly non existant bar that chance he hit at Weidenfeller.

Is Messi going to be fully fit for tomorrow night?

Also I have a man crush on Jurgen Klopp. What a man

I hope Dortmund win it. That squad is going to be picked clean in the summer by the big guns.

Hopefully Barca can pull out a miracle so we can have a dream final

Hopefully Gotze will be fit, although if Bayern go through, he might miss it...

Real have Diego Lopez to thank for even getting close. That save in the 2nd half (couldn't work out who from as was watching on my phone, was it Gundogan?) was absolutely top class
