Goal Highlights

22/10 - League Table

Nood's 3 successful spot kicks put him behind only Robbie Keane (on 5) in the Premier League. Interesting stat... IN OPPOSITE WORLD!

[andretmzt]

Good to see Birmingham are strawberry floating useless in this as well

Good draw though for us

[Dark Ritual]

I can't even figure out what happened with Mori's goal

BENTLEY SCORED AN OWN GOAL!!
A superb fightback by GRcade

They fell right into my trap.

A fine comeback, team. Europe here we come.

[jamcc]

Am I the only person who's noticed that Scotland drew with the Faroe Islands. At home.

And...

[jamcc]

Has jamalouda not recovered yet?

[Nova]

The recovery begins

[BTB]

"BTB has splashed out with his first couple of Premier League pay packets (despite only playing a few games...) by getting a new car"

"It is reported that GRcade Pirates have one of the lowest wage budgets in the league..."

[Cuttooth]

How's everyone liking this so far then?

[Spindash]

How's everyone liking this so far then?

Excellent. Keep up the good work.

One thing I'd suggest though - posting the squad stats screen (goals, assists etc.) at the end of each month.

[Cosmo]

Three goals for the Pirates and a Germany U21 international.

Loving it.

[Nova]

It's great, Cutty. Keep it up!

[Cuttooth]

One thing I'd suggest though - posting the squad stats screen (goals, assists etc.) at the end of each month.

That's a good idea, I'll do it from now on.

Nood o/

\o

It was a great corner.

A goal and two yellow cards, that's a fine day for me, what was the second card for though?

And you're doing a great job, Cutty. Need to play Zenigame more though. Speaking of which, I'll be boarding El Boat of Goat while I'm suspended.

[BTB]

Yeah this is going really well so far, good pace to it!

Keep it up!

[Cosmo]

And you're doing a great job, Cutty. Need to play Zenigame more though. Speaking of which, I'll be boarding El Boat of Goat while I'm suspended.

Sounds like a gay old time will be had.

[Cuttooth]

Zenigame managed to make himself one of the most useless players in the squad. He's decent wing back, which I never need to play, and a terrible left winger. He's at the absolute bottom rung of left sided players.

25/11 - Custard has damaged his heel jumping for the ball during training and is out for 10 to 12 days.
