So, we're back. And my previously tight defence has turned to mush. I may need some new tactics...

I've taken away my keeper's tictacs. Hoping his halitosis keeps opposing forwards away.

That wasn't too successful, was it?! ;)

A packed stadium was rocking today as the Stench of Failure played host to the Bolton Wonderbras. As one would expect, the Wonderbras had lots of support off the pitch, but it turned out to be just window dressing on it. The home supporters witnessed a crushing win - their first in the league this season and as the goals rained in, the crowd become ever more jubilant until it seemed that the whole stadium was shaking to chants of "The Stench, Stench will tear you apart, again." (Of course, the construction work on the level 6 stadium upgrade may have had something to do with this too. It seems sort of unbelievable that major reconstruction can take place while games are being hosted. It seems Angola's health and safety legislation may need some tightening up, perhaps...)

The Stench have gone goal-crazy! Followed up a 4-0 home win with an 8-0 away one! My on loan midfielder banged in a hattrick of freekicks. If only I could play that side every week, but it's back to playing proper sides again now...

After the debacle against the Stench left my defence feeling right tits, I left my useless keeper on the bench for today's easy task of taking points off of Parma FC 1913. Some watching pundits were confused by the 1913 handle and thought that was the predicted Parma score having watched my team's previous game.

Fortunately my stand in keeper actually did a little more than just stand in goal, saving a host of shots before succumbing to two late goals, the score finishing in a 0-2 home defeat. Though it's fair to say my shot shy strikers were lucky to get nil.

U21 Youth Cup Champions! Fair play to Seaburn Beach for supplying most of the team...

Congrats Stephen

35,000 seat stadium built, but this does leave the atmosphere somewhat lacking when only 12,000 spectators turn up...
Can anyone lend me some fans?

Wow, I appear to have qualified for the African League. I think I'm going to need a lot of better players...

I'm looking to try and bring in three better quality players, plus my usual 3 loaners, then it's time to start saving for 50k stadium and hope my attendances allow me to build it before my starter bonus runs out.
