Here is my league night report for Watford:


Watford 0 v 1 Tottenham
De Merit Off 71 Berbatov 25

Could have got something out of this game. Spurs goal was a sucker punch in that we were playing well but De Merit played a silly ball accross the box which Berbatov latched on to and scored. We had some good chances to score ourselves but for once PUal Robinson was having a good game. De Merit than increased his chances of never playing again by getting himself sent off in the 71st minute making any chance of getting back into the game difficult. Time to plan for the next match.

Liverpool 4 v 0 Watford
Gerrard 3 Colin off 63
Babel 58,67
Carlisle og 85

Terrible.. got kicked just before the game and when got back was unable to take control of tactics. ref was terrible, no cards to Liverpool for fouls, but watford booked when fouled. So much so that Colin got sent of. Running out of defenders here. Quality finishing did seal the game but I need to get some points to avoid relegation.

Had to leave early due to connection probelms.

I am not going to enjoy writing the report, its really that bad we started off on the worst form, we just made ourselves look like we wanted to be relegation candidates...The players that stood our form all the rest is Daniel Gabbidon playing at a 7.09 higher than anybody else in the team. Morale is Very Poor within the team and it is very hard to get them going again, nobody in the team is happy with the way we are playing or the position we are in.

Players In:
Dado Prso

(H) Newcastle 0-2
Poor performance, last minute goal by Martins sealed our fate...Noting positive to say about this match (1.7/5)

(H) Watford 1-1
Great start, we were all over Watford, we got the first and then we seemed to just relax and let tham get a goal back just like the previous meeting with them...(2.5/5)

(A) Middlesbrough 0-2
We beat them 4-1 at home and they wanted revenge, they just walked all over us we didnt have many chances, yet again another absoulty poor team effort...(1.1/5)

(H) Aston Villa 0-1
1 word for this match, Embarrassing...we just couldnt score the fowards played really bad, we couldnt match them, and we looked like losing from the start! (Prso debut) (1.4/5)

(A) Aston Villa (FA Cup 3rd Round) 0-3
After losing against Villa a few days ago, it was game on and we didnt want to just let them through into the 4th round of FA Cup without having to work for it, Bojan started his first match for the club but Villa went up first after we completly controlled the game, but lack much upfront...Bojan was tacked off after a poor debut but will be good experience for the young lad, Corradi Injured ever thing just went from bad to worse, Missing open nets and making poor tackles...at this rate City are going down! (0.3/5)

If I could I would resign right here but I will stick with it and hopefully keep city up!!!

(A) Portsmouth
Started off poor 1-0 down then 2-0 down before half time after conceding a penatly, then we got a penalty and finished it bringing it to 2-1, Poor performances dont get wins and we didnt earn anything from this game except a beating, all we did is blockshots and give the ball away but after the Pompey defence opened Mpenza finished it off for us bringing it to 2-2...we finished off the game by defending and keeping pompey off us to give us our first point in 2 games...An absolutly awesome performance in the second half gave us a much needed point...1st Half (0.9/5) 2nd Half (3.9/5)

Really bad everything is going bad and we need to sort it out now!!!


Your still ahead of me Rob!!!

My team are bing bellends haha!!! we just managed to get 2 points in this update haha

Manager Comments
An average night, started off with thrashing being inflicted on my side by Everton in a 4-2 defeat. However I achieved a great unexpected result in beating Man Utd 2-1 at home. I made a few good signings and sold a couple of players that won’t were not getting into the first team. Relegation may not be a possibility anymore but a European place may be a possibility.

Actually Aaron your Man City are now above Rob's Watford in the table but their still in the relegation zone

Due to the influx of new members I have officially decided that when we start FM08 we shall form Two Road to Glory Leagues!

How its going to work out is this :~

At the moment its looking like we're going to have 15 Members which means each league will have 8 members in League 1 and 7 members in League 2 (If any more join the league positions will be equally distributed between the leagues). There will be two hosts, One Host for League 1 and another host for League 2. I will be Host of League 1, and somebody who is Trustworthy will Host League 2. As a Host of League 2 it will be your responsibility to update the League 2 Table and the game tables Premiership etc. I will of course talk the host through this. The League 2 host will become my assistant and second in command. If you want to apply please send me private message nominating yourself, if theres more than one applicant I will put it to a vote (Applicants must be a member of Road to Glory). When FM08 starts both leagues will be run on Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:30PM T&T 8PM Kick Off and the Night ends at 12 Midnight. If either host needs to reschedule you will all be informed of the rescheduled time.

How the league system will work is that a Team draw will take place and in that draw the numbers (Number 1 is reserved for Host of League 1), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 will be allocated to players to form League 1. Numbers (Number 9 is resevered for League 2 Host), 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 & 15 will be allocated to players to form League 2. Then the Teams will be drawn out between the players of each league (In the end we could have two managers of Liverpool). At the end of the season in each league the bottom 3 of League 1 will be relegated to League 2 and the top 3 of League 2 will be promoted. When that happens there will be no swapping of players between servers. The only change that will occur is your League will change. So if your promoted and you started in League 2 with that Host then you will still be with that Host and you will still have your team with all your signings etc so there will be no need to change teams etc.

Of course there will be opportunity for everybody to play each other because we'll redraw the leagues etc when FM09 is released.

There is also another reason for this split because I doubt 14 or 20 players depending how many more join will fit onto one server and it could cause bandwidth problems etc. Plus the seasons may be a little faster.

This is Road to Glory and this Announcement is bigger than the announcement forming the Real Life Premier League.

What an absolute load of bullsh!t, Mike Dean is the worst ref I have ever seen, 2 offside goals given and 1 penalty disallowed and we missed a penalty, how lucky can you get? we should have won here but unfortunatly we didnt, Our finishing needs sorting out, alot of missed chances again!
Rating: 0.2/5


Final Words
Very very good compared to last week, next few games are really easy and we need to keep our Home form up because we have the worst away from in the league, but all good as we have Reading at home so we should get another 3 points eh Tony haha lol

Night Rating: 3.8/5
