[Lawnmowerman]

The Feyenoord babes, including three players you apparently don’t know too much about Woodburn, Gagli, Sterling.

if Woodburn played for Spurs, he'd know all about him.......

(only joking rk7, it's a joke, it's a joke )

[RK7]

You told me you didn’t know enough about any of my PSV players to trade for them. All three of those guys are at PSV.

I know enough about Woodburn, not the other 2 really . Although I have researched Gagli. When was this?

[RK7]

You save on birthday cakes and boxes of Werther originals aswell.

Exactly, our bank balance will rival yours if we're careful.

Well with young teams, most players are all pretty much nailed on for a rise which means higher wages eventually so all the planning will go to pot eventually.

Couple days ago when I enquired about your CBs Woodburn + another for Vallejo?

I know mate.

I think I said you could have them and more for Mbappe?

Feynoord vs Leeds, last game of the season could be the title decider.

[Klippity Klopp]

A win to go top of the league.

But Ronaldo sent off & will miss the last game.

[Betty Blue]

Just about scraped past Totino to 100% keep Depor in the top flight. Tough old season with Rabiot's injury the big killer to our season as it stopped us playing our preferred formation with so few bodies available in midfield. Might be time for a bit of a shake up in the off season.

A win to go top of the league.

But Ronaldo sent off & will miss the last game.

Winner takes all title decider in the final match. Great stuff!

[Lawnmowerman]

''The Original Babes'' bow out. We'll be back though, 2020, worlds greatest team. So long suckas

Meanwhile Toure strikes to keep our dream alive....they do say you can't win with kids alone.

Haha, that might be stretching it.

[LiamG]

lost my first game of  the season with only one more to go, so close to going the whole season unbeaten!

[kesey]

Je cherche por travais !!

Daft twat  Welcome back, I think I speak for everyone in saying we hoped you weren't gone for good.

He's been traveling in time. What to us seems like a few hours, to Kesey is thousands of years.

[RK7]

More movement at Feyenoord.....

Not even a day I lasted.


 

Having my morning coffee was weird. Usually its coffee , rollies and SM.  Today coffee , rollies and FB.

Fuck you FB !!!!

[kesey]

How did I get on last night ?

[kesey]

Just seen the results.

Last game of the season between first and second I do believe.

[KingLuis10]

Big day in Div. 2 tomorrow! Parma & Penarol have already secured promotion and will battle it out for the Div. 2 title, while 3 teams enter the Russian roulette for the final 2 promotion spots.

Dresden enter the final round of fixtures knowing that a win against unmanaged Red Star will be enough to take us to the promised land, after taking a huge point off league leaders Parma on Sunday. Old man Totti did us proud after being drafted into the starting lineup as we switched to a 4231. Ousmane ‘The Answer’ Dembele with the crucial goal in a 1-1 draw that leaves us in 4th place, a point ahead of Forest, who also face an unmanaged team on the final day. Also in the mix are Independiente, currently a point ahead of Dresden in 3rd, who may well end up needing a result against Parma in order to clinch promotion.

Almost feels like a real-life Championship play-off final, the £100m game! The prize money is much lower here of course, but there’s still a big difference between making it to Div. 1 and the cash that comes with it, and dropping back down into Div. 3 and the measly 2.5m we received at the end of last season. Lead us to the promised land, Leo!

Lovely stuff!

Glad Dukla are finally out of Div3, soon to be a boneyard of unmanageds. The fetid pit where dreams become nightmares, hopes are catheterised and exuberance is stamped over like dying rats.

Good luck chaps!

[Zend...en the clowns]

Simple equation for Parma tonight - win and it's back to back league titles.

[RK7]

Only 8 goals conceded and 1 defeat all season, we did our best but got pipped to use post by a strong Leeds side.

Well done Leeds.

[Zend...en the clowns]

And they do it! Decision to sell Ronaldo at the end of last season justified.

Back to back league titles.

[Lawnmowerman]

Congrats everyone who won leagues tonight. Commiz to those who lost out

[Klippity Klopp]

Well done Leeds.

Thanks RK.

I might have the trophy, but given the rating of my team compared to yours, I think you showed that you're a much better manager. 

I need to build a younger team now. Can't keep this old team as the wages are too high.

But when I did the draft my plan was to do well at the beginning, as I thought it was my best chance of success. I've done that, just.

But now I understand the game more I think I'll have to sell a fair few of my old guard!

Foggia are my surprise for the season. I thought they'd be fighting for the title with that squad!

[RK7]

Thanks KK

I think our run was more luck than anything else, I certainly didn't expect to be challenging until this group of players got their rises, this is a long term project....the Bale for cash sale demonstrates this.

I'll be working hard in the off season now, we need a young(U24) CM or CF player 89+. A deal for Raheam Sterling has already been agreed but we're looking for those other 2 players, if anyone wants to trade then get in touch.

[Lawnmowerman]

I'd let you have Carrasco. He should really be picking up a forward position, played there enough. Considering they gave Felipe Anderson a rb position after playing on the right of a 3-5-2....
Don't think you'd part with young players for him though

[KingLuis10]

Congrats to the league winners & those who were promoted

At times I’ve been tempted to cash in on Messi, take the 100m or so from the sale and go on the mother of all spending sprees. Think of all those shiny new players! But last night proved how crazy it would be to sell him…a glorious hat trick from the Greatest of All Time leads us to the Promised Land of Div. 1! Not really sure how he’s dragged this bunch of kids so far, I didn’t really expect to make it out of Div. 3 last season, never mind repeating the trick in Div. 2. Dresden salutes you, King Leo!

Got some tough decisions to make over the off season now. The competition in Div. 1 next season’s gonna be intense, perhaps a step too far for the real, real babes  Do we add some high rated players in the hope we stay up, or do we continue with the youth project without worrying too much about our league position? Tricky, but either way the Div. 1 prize money will be lovely!

[Klippity Klopp]

The 14th of May is going to be fun.

Sleeping Giants season 2: The awards!

A season in which many teams found themselves in financial dire straits. Carefully drafted teams were torn asunder, families were ripped apart as players crossed continents at the behest of belt tightening sugar daddies, and high earners were discarded as football underwent a devolution back to the days when players earned '3 bits bed and board' per appearance. Managers who had drafted prudently, looked on with a sense of satisfaction.

With that in mind it's time to dust off Elton Welsby and roll out the red lino!


Division 1 Champions.... Leeds Utd
Runners up.... Feyenoord




Division 2 Champions.... Parma
Runners up.... Penarol




Division 3 Champions.... Rangers
Runners up.... Kaiserslautern




FA Cup Winners.... Valencia
Runners up.... Brondby




Charity Shield Winners.... Deportivo la Coruna
Runners up.... Rangers




The Non 99 rated Player of the Season Award.... Julian 'Nostalgia' Draxler (Parma) 8 goals, 11 assists




Manager of the Season: Zenden the Clowns for his back to back league titles with Parma. Honourable mentions to Klippity for winning Division 1, and Liam for back to back trophies with Rangers (Div 3 this season/Cup last)





Congrats chaps. Next season starts.... when it starts!

[Klippity Klopp]

Awesome CC, I love that pic of Silva & Bebeto. 

Plans have already started for the new season.  Already made one transfer deal, looking to do more.

If people want some older players who can boost your team in the short term, Zlatan, Ronaldo etc could be tempted away from Leeds for the right deal.

Tah and Oblak for Bale and Buffon when all their bans are up.

No going back now. It is announced and so it is so.
