Ah well.. Guess I can give this a go.
Had a little talk with the animal you guys seem to call Frank. For obvious reasons I didn't spend much time with him but just enough to get a name from him. Wales is the place but not the league.

Unknown Swede takes over Newport Co. (hope i'm not to shitfaced right now, cause it is Newport right?) ah well

Short update then.

Board and fans wanted respectable postition. No money but a decent team at least. Started the season like expected spending my time between 5th and 15th place before I for some reason managed to lure a really good (by conference standard) striker to Wales. He turned things around for me so that we finsihed the season as champions on goal difference getting passed St. Albans on the second to last day.

Joy all around the place, or at least in my room.. My family is still ****ed at me for throwing the chair around my room in the beginning of the season.

If I'm not misstaken the cups s*cks a*se? right?

Off to bed now and than time for the National Conference. Surprisingly my board wants me to battle bravely. Can't understand why though as I won last year.. Ah well..

Oh and if I've made silly misstakes like mentioning stuff or fecked up the message with bad language, please don't be shy...

Indeed you are mistaken. FA Cup doesn't suck, all the rest of them do

Ah :eek:
huge miistake beeing made on my behalf then.. Or maybe we were just too bad and I don't want to talk about it

Depends on who you talk to, whether or not all cups suck ass.

Good luck at Spytty Park.

The first game I ever went to was (the original) Newport County v Plymouth Argyle at Somerton Park in about 1984.

Memories...

Cups Suck Ass

Unless you get some good money from the run

Fids, this is the kind of statement that exemplifies why you still have much to learn, LLM-wise.

Cups suck ass...period.

Some cups deserve to be put out of their misery.

Some, however, I will put a bit of effort into, providing it doesn't distract me. The FA Cup (and, I suppose, other national cups), for instance, is worth fielding a few first-teamers for IF there is a reasonable chance of scoring a big team away. I won't get carried away, though... Putting all of my best players on the pitch really is a recipe for disaster: I rarely have enough players to be able to cope with the injuries, suspensions and general knackered-ness that inevitably follow.

Once I've got that all-important money-spinner, however, there is no need to make an effort. We roll over and die and make everyone happy: the reserves and kiddies get a match, the bank manager can use his toes to count and the big team get a bye to the next round.

Ah, a guy who's head matches his username and falls for the "Cup Holy Grail" pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Cups suck ass.

There's no mortal reason for risking promotion on the off-chance of drawing ManUre at Old Trafford.

Ass is what they suck, constantly.
