League comments
Damn! I wanted to be at the cup final... :(
In the league, I would love to see DL winning the
title - hehehe - but we must play our best! That's our responsibility... so,
let's win this one, FI.
Bart, to which address should I send the invoice for
my services? ;)

What can you say about a 0-0 game? Not much.
I'd normally say that the point was worthwhile, but NW won!! So we even lose a couple of points in the
slide towards relegation. Since the ONE
isn't doing it for us, we try something different this week. Who knows a little surprise might just be the
edge. Considering our record against CA
I doubt it, but there's always hope.

It comes down to
the second to last game of the season for NW.
A critical match against the club that is 1 point ahead of them and in
the clear. A win is imperative as they
head into this match. A tense atmosphere
is expected at the Mystical Arena as the NW play for everything.
The Boelewieten
I know TB
lost the leauge in the first half of this season. The EFL cup, costed us to
much SP and some severe injuries of key players at least four points. So, a
second place this season is nice, a win over JG would be great and a good aging
will be best.
I want to
try winning SAEFL next season, I dont think y gys will help me ;-) and I sure
hope playing Don again!
Best luck
to y all, TB management.

The Jazz Greats
Allthough i'd like to win this match against TB the
real battle will be the match against DL the week after this. That's why i will
rest most of my top players. This hopefully means i'll be able to play my top
11 against DL.
Since TB will probably grudge me anyway i don't have
high hopes for this match anyway.
I do have the small hope that element of surprise is
on my side and that Jeroen will play the OFF tactic. I that case i might get
away with a point.

DIVISION 2
Adirondak Renegades
Adirondak
Renegades (AR): Congratulations! Goal number 1 reached, which means the First
Division has been reached. AR has a 5 pt lead over PN and LU, and since those 2
teams play each other, they both can't catch you.
Manager
Fulmer (MF): Thanks. Our goal coming into the season was indeed for promotion.
We thought we would finish second to LU , and if Nuno's luck hadn't been so
terrible, we would have. That said, we certainly will do everything we can to
capture a title.
AR: You
look in good shape for that.
MF: Yea,
but we play a solid OC side who are 1 point out of the relegation zone....and
also have a shot at a playoff spot. In DESL, my BW team was crusing along
undefeated in something like week 16 and Keith's BS side gave us our first
loss, so Keith is dangerous in this situation.
AR: I
believe the last time AR was in the first Division was Season 3. They were a
new Division 2 team in Season 2, won the title, and went to the first division.
Then, they went straight to Division 2, did not pass go, did not collect
$200.....and have stayed there ever since. So, this is a pretty major
accomplishment getting AR to Division 1.
MF: It is a
major accomplishment that involved a lot of people, and shows why I enjoy this
league so much. I had a lot of help, a whole lot of help, in my early days with
AR. Well, we still have some good discussions and help each other out. Peter,
as the commish, helped me at the beginning. Very soon, Ivo helped me a lot with
team building, and wrote me many lonnnnnngggggg e-mails with some excellant
ideas on match strategy and particularly on building a team. Jeroen soon
helped, and set me up to calculate stats on my players. Nathan was willing to
share his experience with me, which was very helpful because he has a different
managing style then the others.Mark help with team building, and helped me
tremendously with scouting players on other teams for trades. Bart started
helping after these 34 and we still have a lot of discussions on managing both
of our teams. Therefore, I would like to thank Peter, Ivo, Jeroen, Nathan,
Mark, and Bart for their help getting AR to Division 1.....and also for making
the game a lot of fun.
For all new
or relatively new managers, there are a lot of experienced managers in this
league who are more willing to help, answer questions etc. Feel free to ask
them. It makes the game more fun because your team will be come stronger and
more successful, and the game will be more fun because you will meet some good
people. And maybe in 2010, we can all meet in person in

It`s now or never. Let`s see if we can win this one.
Expect to
see lost of subs this week and next. This team is tired, injured, and falling
apart. If I can even field a team next week i'll be surprised!
Well, the season pretty much boils down to this week's
match. Right now, we are tied with LU
for second place but since they have a better goal differential, they are in
second place while we are in third place.
The grudge against us in last week's match was a big surprise and of
course cost us the three points that we needed.
Which of course makes this week's match all the more exciting. Whoever wins will pretty much get second
place, and thus be promoted automatically.
Whoever loses will likely end the season in third place and have to go
through the playoffs.
Obviously, we would rather be promoted automatically
because our record in the playoffs leaves much to be desired so even if we get
third place, there is a pretty good chance that we will stay in Division 2 next
season because we will probably lose again.
We are playing a grudge this week but LU is likely to
play a grudge too so they will cancel out and it should leave a pretty fair
game. We are playing our top team but LU
is probably better than us. Regardless,
we still have a chance to win and so we will just have to hope that we will be
lucky and can catch a break.
DIVISION 3
African Selection
One more
win will seal the playoff spot for the Selects. We knew we would not be able to
gain automatic promotion as Stannington Historical proved to be just too strong
over the season.
Last weeks
saw the Selects earn an away victory over the Speedsters who are also
challenging for a playoff spot.
This week,
the Fantastic Eleven visit
Aros VSK
He he he I've got a machine gun, well a smokin
one anyway!
25 shots
against the team in 2nd place in the league led to 10 goals being scored by the
new and improved AROS VSK.
The
scottish coach must have instilled much needed
vigor into the squad, either that or he has been spikeing their tea with
the
mighty
orange frooty stuff!
The win
doesn't do much for our league position at this stage of the season but it
gives new manager Hamish Mchaggis a chanve to hone the tactics and style of the
team and give us a chance to build a team for next season.
LONG LIVE
