Bash is my favorite site ever

It also tends to accessable through work filters that normally block good sites.

Always important to find those sites that can be accessed despite company firewalls to aid in our avoidance of productivity.

2009/10 Serie B

Board and Fans: Upper table.
Media: 12th

League: 4th 20W, 11D, 11L 59/38 +21.

Solid season, but no good runs this time. No particular pattern either, we had our fair share of all sorts of games, but mostly we came out on top thanks to Uber-Ninja scoring like a madman and Brazilian keeper holding the fort in defence. The only reason we made playoffs was because the title race was between 6!! teams, the three top all finishing on 75 points each. We needed a win or to match Parma's result in the last game to make playoffs, and we turned a 1-0 deficit to a 1-2 win to get into fourth.

Playoff Semifinal (Empoli): 0-0, 0-0

Playoff final (Brescia): 1-0, 1-1. Serie A here we come.

We went into playoffs with little hope of progressing, having Uber-ninja injured and our second best striker off playing in the World Cup for Finland. However, two solid games in the semi saw us through on better league position.

In the final we dominated the home leg, one of our young strikers grabbing the rebound from a Unknown Strikers shot to score the only goal.

In the away game we control it nicely, until our right back makes a perfect backpass to their striker who equalizes in the 60th minute.

We throw everything we got in attack, and in the 93rd minute Striker From Unknown Country takes advantage of their defender losing the ball in his own penalty box, shooting the ball to the bottom right corner. The goalkeeper saves, but can't stop the ball from sliding along the goalline and another of their defenders walk with the ball into his goal to take us to Serie A.

Top goalscorer (26) and Fans Player: Uber-Ninja. He is league top scorer and 3rd in player of the season.

We also get worst signing for one of our young strikers but second best for our young DC. 3 players in team of the year.

Some good sales gives us money (quite a lot even) and we are trying to get in as many good defenders as possible to ensure survival in Serie A.

Will update with World Cup, CL and the rest later as the former haven't finished yet.

World Cup:

Brazil - England 0-1.

Brazil utterly dominate the game, winning shots 17 (12 on target) vs. 6 (2 on target) and having 59% possession. But a certain Chelski midfielder pops up in ET to score a a volley on a cross after the defenders screw up to take the Cup back to England. Top scorer of the tournament is Mexican Striker.

Very good year for England allround as well. 3 teams in the semi-finals in both CL and the UEFA cup, with Man U claiming the former and Man City the latter (good day for Mancurians I guess).

Not much happening for Benevento after all our bids was either denied or they signed for someone else, especially annoying as a ML I've had my eyes on for ages signs for another club.

Rejected a 9m for my young DC, a bit foolish perhaps but seeing how I can't sign anyone, I must keep him.

Sorry for the long delay updating, found Civ III Complete for £9.99 and have been busy trying to beat Demi-god.

20010/11 Serie A

Board and Fans: Avoid Relegation
Media: 20th

League: 13th 13W, 6D, 9L 55/59 -3.

Tough, Tough season. A really rough beginning saw us take 9 games before getting our first win, although we continued losing a few games after that. A 3-0 win away to Udinese turned it around though, and we slowly dragged us up from the relegation places and settled for a 13th, 8 points up to 12, but 5 points down to 14th. Good wins included 3-2 at San Siro and 3-0 home to Roma.

Milan won the league on the last day, beating awesome Fiorentina with 1 point.

It was really the signing of masterful signings as well. Our Non-EU signing was a Brazilian DM/MC who did very well, contributing 7 goals and 7 assists over the season. At the winter window we got in a powerful French DM and a Italian national M L/R who both contributed and help our leaky defence as well as getting a few goals.
Main reason for defence being leaky was however my goalkeeper wanting to get transferred after we turn down a £10m offer for him and all the speculation unnerved him, causing him to let everything past him.

Goals was evenly spread among my strikers, with Uber-Ninja getting 15 and his partners/backups 9,8 and 6.
Uber-Ninja gets FPotY.

A sale of a good RB to Barcelona for £9m leaves us with some spare cash and we are allowed to keep most of it, giving us a transfer fund of 18m the next year.

Club summery:

Finances - Secure to Rich
Training and Youth - Average but upgrade in progress

Stadium: 25k, fill it to about 18k during the season.

New signings for season 11/12:

Workaholic Belgian ML
Brazilian Bullet (Non-EU)
Maroccoan RB.
+ a variety of youngsters.

Players out: Basically 3/4 of the team that got us promoted from Serie B. Striker from Unknown Country retired, with a very respectable 67 goals in 100 something games and an average rating of 7.24. He got the important goals for us and will be remembered.

Future stars: Both Italian U21 starting strikers are the back-ups to Brazilian Bullet and Uber-Ninja. One of them, Italian Quarterback, is being chased by the entire world but haven't panicked yet and with luck I can get him to sign a new contract.

Well done, keep up the good work in Italy. Benevento are sleeping giants from what I can work out.

England are vastly over-rated in this game, they won the same world cup in my game, and got through to the finals of the 2014 cup as well.

Another long delay, this season took ages to finish.

20011/12 Serie A

Board and Fans: Avoid Relegation
Media: 18th

League: 9th 15W, 12D, 11L 68/51 +17.
Cups: Sucked ****. Meet a C2 team and was knocked out 2-1 in ET in the first round...

Season started slow, and we averaged only a point a game in our first 9 games but then it took off and we climbed steadily. With 8 games to go we were on route for a European spot, with 4 games to go with needed to gain 1 point on Udinese to make 7th and Euro Vase cup.

Guess what? Got 1 point from the last 4 games, including 2 losses at home to already relegated teams.

Highlights

A 6-1 win against Liverno, as well as a few roller coaster games (3-0 up against Inter became 3-3, down 1-3 in second half against Udinese became 4-3, a 3-4 loss to Roma, as well as away wins against Milan and Juventus.

Brazilian Bullet started well, scoring 11 goals before christmas but then went on international duty and came back injured for the rest of the season.

His understudies picked up the slack though, with Powerful Pole and Italian Quarterback getting 10+ goals. Norwegian youngster and Uber-Ninja provided good back-up although the latter can't seem to cope with Serie A very well anymore.

That was the key to success this year really, we were banging in goals like mad. 3 strikers on 10+ goals, 4 midfielders on 5-7 goals as well as a right back on 5 goals (all free kicks). We were however leaking goals to everything though. This was mainly due to Inter buying my best player...

Won some awards as well for the first time.

Brazilian Keeper is GK of the Year, Italian Quarterback is 2nd in Italian Player otY, and Powerful Pole wins Foreign PotY, 2nd in Young PothY.
Workaholic Belgian ML wins best signing.

New players in and out:

Out: Italian U21 Striker to Lyon (they gave me 8m up front and 50%), French DM to Rangers, Norwegian international CB to Valencia, young RB to Arsenal and primarily... Awesome French CB/DM to Inter after they triggered his 15m release clause. Atleast i got money.

In: Italian Veteran LB, French RB from Lyon, Malian Maurader DM, Intelligent Czech, Spanish AM, Portugese M/AM, Dutch ML as well as Very Versatile Winger who only costs 4m but has the highest salery in the entire team. Our Non-EU signing is young Schizophrenic Turkish CB/DM who already was established starter in his team, getting 8+ goals and assists in his first two seasons there. Loads of promising youngsters as well, although most of them have been sent on loan.

Rest of the World:

France win Euro '12 (in Norway), beating England 2-0 in the final. Their star striker nets 9 goals in the whole tournament.

Newcastle wins CL, Juventus defends the UEFA cup.

Goal for next season: Place in Europe, conceding less goals.
