[melatonin]

Don't sugar coat it boss - how bad am I injured?

[Dolph Wiggler]

Well played Roonmastor, your first goal in particular was quality.

Surely staying up was our goal in the first season anyway, time to push for a European place now.

Indeed, but I think we should get rid of some of the deadwood such as bork.

Yeah sell our best right back. We should get rid of Wiggles and Nood instead, because one's awful and the other one keeps costing us points with his gooseberry fool penalties.

Wiggles is going nowhere!

I think I can be forgvien for a couple of misses considering how many points my successful penalties have brought in.

I think I need to be moved to right mid next season to get a devastating Wiggles-Nood partnership going.

[PuppetBoy]

I think I need to be moved to right mid next season to get a devastating Wiggles-Nood partnership going.

Nah mate, next season's when I'm going to seize my place in the first team and stamp my authority on the position. Me and Nood are gonna form a Mackem midfield partnership, a bit like Captain Mole and Hendo. But, y'know, good.

[Roonmastor]

What a final, dramatic game! Elated that I put two in at the death, changing our fates from last-ditch play-off to stave off relegation to keeping us up.

[Cuttooth]

Don't sugar coat it boss - how bad am I injured?

Oh yeah, only a few days. Can't remember what was wrong with you tbh.

[Starbreaker]

Bloated smugness glands.

And no, I am not being a hypocritical petty loser.

Final Team Stats

I'm going to do a world football update after the Champions League Final, then if people want individual end of season profile pages I'll send them tomorrow.

[Cosmo]

Pretty damning verdict on bork's future as a footballer there. Ditch him.

[Red Devil]

Improved significantly

[Cuttooth]

Also, if anyone wants their player to look elsewhere for football over the summer then let me know.

[Skippy]

Most assists. I'll take that

[Custard]

Also, if anyone wants their player to look elsewhere for football over the summer then let me know.

Would it be possible for me to be loan listed? At least then the club won't have to foot my numerous and inevitable medical bills

[abcd]

Also, if anyone wants their player to look elsewhere for football over the summer then let me know.

I'll stick with the pirates.

[Dante]

After that run at Cardiff I'd love to get a chance in the first team next season.

[Cuttooth]

24/5 - That Rooney goal against GRcade wins Goal of the Season

25/5 - Kanbei scores his first goal for Northern Ireland against Scotland in the Four Associations Tournament. In the same match Corazon made his senior international debut for Scotland

28/5 - Arsenal lose 0-3 at Wembley against Barcelona

- blackoutHERO and Corazon de Leon meet Caliban on the pitch as Scotland beat the Republic of Ireland 2-0 in the Four Assoc. Tournament.

29/5 - Hank Scorpio is called up to the England U19s. SpaceJebus, man-eater chimp, Skippy, Nood, and Benzin are called up to the U21s. Nova gets selected for the senior Danish squad

- GRcade has cleared its debts!

[Cosmo]

I'd like to be kept informed of any offers that will most definitely be coming in for me.

[Nova]

Really hope I get a few more chances next season, mind!

[Red Devil]

After that run at Cardiff I'd love to get a chance in the first team next season.

Rumour has it that Caliban's being sold for spare parts so there'll be an extra space at the back next season.

[melatonin]

So do our stats change before the next season starts, or are we stuck with what we've been given?

Curse my unnaturally high Composure and Balance.
