Goal Highlights

11/4 - League Table

12/4 - Red Devil was selected in the Premier League Team of the Week
- Custard resumes full training again. Let's see if he can stay that way
- Roonmastor's shots on target rate has fallen to 57% but is still only behind Kevin Davies (59%) in leading the league's shot takers

13/4 - Wigan and Birmingham have been relegated. Poor Goat

I hope you're not just running one division, by the way.

Nope, running a huge amount. I'll give a general world update at the end of the season.

[Count Nood]

Vicious shot by Count Nood for the top corner
COUNT NOOD SCORED FOR GRCADE!!
We're used to that sort of strike from Count Nood
COUNT NOOD SCORED A STUNNING STRIKE

Goal of the season right there.

strawberry float you Cutty.

[Cuttooth]

strawberry float you Cutty.

Incidentally, Arsenal beat Spurs in the Quarter Final and now face Schalke. The other Semi Final is, much like real life, El Classico.

[Preezy]

Oh strawberry float what have I done. Preezy hasn't been registered to play in the Premier League. I've called him back to rot in the reserves for the rest of the season.

strawberry floats sake Coach

Next season you had better play me in every game after the treatment I've received this term. Shocking.

[Corazon de Leon]

Am I injured then?

[mad_dwarfer]

mad dwarfer played a delicious 50 yard ball ahead of Roonmastor

[Cuttooth]

Am I injured then?

You had a dead leg from the Sunderland match that only put you out for a few days. That and the poor performance made me rest you for the Brum game.

[Dolph Wiggler]

Nood, the guy is a one man team. Probably would have bagged a hattrick if his mate Wiggles was playing with him though.

[Memento Mori]

- A select number of squad members played a prank on the rest by changing the match day and training ground music to a selection of Glee covers
- Memento Mori is out of action for a few days after some gentle pounding by other squad members

[jamcc]

1/4 - Team Stats
[spoiler]

Highest average for the jamcc. I think that makes me our best player.

But Cosmo is back now so I'm gonna be back to picking my nose on the bench.
