I’d just like to thank
you guys for the efforts you put in to make this game fun to be involved in. It’s
been a really interesting season which has seen us adding a third division
which (was more work than I expected) but its added a
new dimension to the league and I think its worked out well. Will be
interesting to see which Div3 team makes it to division 1 first J
InterQuartile Rangers
IQ is in the cup final. JG is wrong about me just discovering the OFF
tactic. I've known about it and used it before, to no avail.I finally have a strong enough team that multiple
tactics are workable. Having
said that, I'm doing anything tricky in the final. Just going with that which
has worked well in the past.
We go into the final after defeating number 1 in the
Div 1 table! Napoleon is said to have prefered marshals who were lucky rather than good. Maybe I should apply for a job? I looked at the last 5 weeks of the league
play with trepidation. Every team I was
to play was higher in the table. So hwo did I come away with 5 wins? Luck!
In 3 of the 5 games my opponent got a red card which might have been
just enough to swing things my way. Yes
careful selection of tactics on my part made the game close, but I would have
expected draws without the cards. In one
game I got the red card. But, my
opponent that week had 2 injuries that evened things out. So only one game was a straight win without
other factors effecting the outcome. I don't know if that qualifies as
giant-killing since I started in something like 8th place, but there were a lot
of bodies in my wake.
It doesn't mean a lot anymore but here are the stats

The Jazz Greats
So this is it. The Cup Final.
I wonder...
I did everything i could do
to field a team that can win this match. I even tried a feeble attempt to
persuade Terry not to play OFF against me and i
kicked out every player that has a tendency to get red carded. Now we'll see if
it's enough.
Beforehand i guess our teams
are quite evenly matched. We'll see some emp
difference either way depending on tactics but basically it will boil down to
red cards and goalkeeping. And we both have players on the pitch that aren't
too hot tempered and we both have GK 10. No difference there.
So as a conclusion: Normally i
don't mind a little arrogance here and there before a match but in this
particular case i don't think it would be justified.
Like i said, it's gonna be a close one :)
For next year we are going to focus more on defence and less in attack. If you see our defence line and our attack line you'll probably understand
why. I truly hope the trading of our star defender Brant won't cost us
heavily. Anyway, lastly i want to thank Peter for
another great season. Good job!
Good luck Terry!*

FE will probably play WP here. There is no
way for me to win unless I try to counter that. So I use OFF.
