GRcade Pirates FC IV - Stoke, Wolves, Sunderland p80

[abcd]

Well done Melly. I knew you'd come good in the end.

[Cuttooth]

The guy I sent out to watch all the loanies hasn't updated me. Must have fallen asleep watching Preezy play. You've all played at least two games but not done a lot.

[Cosmo]

Can't believe Jam paid the opposition to injure me.

[Preezy]

My agent will be in touch

[Corazon de Leon]

17/1 - Following their failure to land Caliban, Manchester City are setting their sights on the player that actually plays ahead of him, Corazon; with a £5m bid.

They can go strawberry float themselves. Pirates till I die.

[Skippy]

An 8.1 rating and two assists

[jamcc]

Can't believe Jam paid the opposition to injure me.

And I'm still not getting in the team.

Boss did you put me up for a loan move?

[PuppetBoy]

This moves fast. I go without internet for two days, 28 pages to read.

I see I've made relatively little impact on the team anyway though. Still, I did well in the LC 4th Round game against West Ham. 7.2 rating and ran more than anyone on the pitch (probably like a headless chicken.) According to the report I even managed a good tackle and a dribble past Parker. I think I deserve another start after that. Maybe.

[Benzin]

Oh bloody hell... That'll teach me to have a social life...


Erm yeah, any chance Coach you can give me a personal update?

[BTB]

Not even wanted on loan
How can a Welsh defensive midfielder be one of the least popular people in football...

[Count Nood]

gooseberry fool the bed this is moving fast.

It's no surpise that Lolerpool tried to sign me, they must want a central midfield partnership of me and Lucas.

[Cuttooth]
