Same terrible odds as last season. Bring in some players to strengthen us in case of an injury massacre, and surpringly one of them was a smashing success, and played pretty much the whole season (mainly due to our star DC getting his 3rd 8 month break in 4 years ). Kept the stem from last season, and this really seemed to pay off. At least in the start. Went straigth to the playoff spots, and things were looking nice. Time to wake up. Soon enough we couldn't score in a brothel. Down the table we go, from 4th to relegation battle in half a season. Then we won 7 of 8 games, and were back with a shot for play-off. Reality check again, and we slump down once again, before recovering for the run-in. With two games to go we had a slight chance for playoff. Won the first game, but then I noticed we didn't stand a chance anyway, as the teams in front of us were playing eachother, and neither could get points. Got slayed in the last game, and thus finished 8th. Very strange season as we were better away than home. Only lost 4 away, but 9 home. Go figure. Overall a good season, but hope we can get our act together at home next season, and challenge for the play-off.
Board offered me a new 4-year contract. As usual tried to get in clauses, but they wouldn't have any of it. Barely managed to raise my wage, from £100/week to £110. They said they were going to upgrade our training facilities last summer. Still not happened. Bastards!

Got my first monthly award, and some players won some monthly awards as well. Rug of the season was Eastbourne Boro, as they only won twice, got 14 points and conceded an impressive 114.
KUTGW! Oh and perhaps the chairman had his fingers crossed when he agreed for that training ground improvement ( either that or he's lost the cash down the back of the sofa )
The chairman and board retards. They've agreed to upgrade both training and youth facilities as they are a joke compared to our competitors, yet nothing happen. Either it's a bug, or they are complete tits.
We were overachiever of last season btw \o/

Better odds this year with 10-1, and I felt we had a team strong enough to challenge for the title. Basically same team as last season, but got rid of some deadwood.
Very promising start with 3-1-0 after 4 games, and were sitting top. But then we hit a brick wall, and stopped scoring. This lasted the whole season, but the form did improve due to some tactical changes. We were terrible until mid-season when we hit great form. Went 18 games unbeaten, but unfortunetely many of them were draws due to our inability to score. Thankfully a solid defense got us points. This meant we hardly lost in the second half of the season, and we ended 4th with a 4-point clearing to the non-playoff spot.
Played magnificent against Leigh in the playoff semis, and beat them 3-0 home and 1-0 away, to face Kidderminster in the final. The air had obviously gone out of the team after the great matches, and we got trounced 4-0, the biggest loss of the season.
Facilities were finally upgraded midseason from basic to fairly basic. Not a big improvement I reckon. And we got a new sponsorship-deal worth 20K.

Solid defense, but scored way too little despite having good strikers. Topscorer only bagged 13 in all competitions. Improved our home-form, but still not good enough. Best team in the league away though.
Oh, and 3 players made Team of the Year.

Shockingly CSKA Moscow beat Real Madrid in the Champions Cup final on pens, while Pool () beat Milan in the EURO Cup.
I won't even mention the grammar (or lack of), spelling, or the fact that capitals aren't just governmental centres of countries, but are also the BIG letters that we find at the beginning of sentences and, dare I suggest, country names.
Here's probably the only hint you're ever going to see in LLM forums.
