Soccer Manager: Australian Championship 330 Banter

[Justin Bieber]

Damn HP you weren't kidding! You are now favourites with the bookies to bring home the league title AND cup this year!
How did you manage to get such a strong team including the bench? None of them have a rating under 90!! :o

Seeing as you have the two best players in the game, think you are still favourite ;D.

Trading smart :P. Traded out some young guns and fill ins for the big names. Hoping to land another big name soon (Sergio Aguero 8)). Hopefully can challenge you up the top :P. Depth is a little :-\ though.

Was actually going to be picking up Aguero myself later this afternoon :P
My depth is rubbish cos I had to sell it all to pick up Ronaldo and Messi.

Haha :P. It was either Aguero or Robben so yeah.....

My depth is now shot for the next few weeks and I need to fiddle with new formations to suit the lineup.

HP just letting you know I will be using a b squad for tonights charity shield match since I don't want to tire out the better players ahead of the new season :)
Shouldn't make much difference for you cos your b squad should smash mine ;)

Well you stole Aguero off me *Blows Raspberries. NOW FEEL MY WRATH!!!! If my team doesn't choke that is :P.

Going for Broke here trading off Munoz, Rodrigues, Coentrao and Borriello for 2 High Profile Players 8). In coming is Robben and Puyol 8).

[CrowsFan]

Haha sorry HP, but I really wanted Aguero, even though he plays for Man City he is one of my favourite players (I have an Atletico shirt with his name on the back) ;)
Why don't you just get Higuain instead? Same age and rating :P

Running out of money and stupidly sold Alonso to get the cash for Kun. Now only have a bit over 10 mil to get another CM. Have to take Toure as the only one I can afford :-\

[CrowsFan]

Not surprisingly I lost to HP in the charity shield this morning. What was surprising was the score considering his starting squad had an average rating of 94, whereas mine was only 82. Amazingly I only lost 4-3 so almost causing an upset! Think I can thank Cech for keeping the score to just 4 considering HP had 41 shots at goal, with 25 of them hitting the target!
Congrats on the win HP ;)

In other news I am quite excited to see what my forward line will produce this season. A front 3 of Mess, Villa and Aguero, needless to say I am expecting goals 8)

Haha, serves you right for doing that :P. I'll jump on Xabi in good time, one of my Favs :-*.

Suprised myself! 500k in prizemoney :P. SO many shots though was a shocker :o. Ibra and Dzeko are my best forwards which is why I need to recruit Robben so I can have him and Van Persie play there as well. Your front 3 will dominate mine, but wait until you see my new look defence 8). Lahm, Chiellini, Ferdinand and Puyol soon enough 8). Not to mention Casillias between the sticks for me :D.

Dominant 6-1 victory over the lowly Newcastle :)
Had 34 shots at goal!
In my last 7 games against Newcastle I have scored a whopping 36 goals and conceded just 5 :o  :o

Well I continued my domination over Newcastle this morning. This time winning 7-1 even though I rested Villa, Ronaldo, Fabregas, Vidic and Mata :D

[Justin Bieber]

On fire CF :o.

Simple 3-1 win over Victory. Considering they were leading in possessions and there was only like 10-13 shots fired in the entire game, I think my team got lucky for the win. They'll be getting a whipping at training for not getting off more shots >:(.

[CrowsFan]

A tight 4-3 win over Victory this morning, Balotelli coming off the bench to score twice :)
Also I "accidentally" injured both Abidal and Albiol of Victory...

[Justin Bieber]

5-0 win over Perth despite falling asleep before setting tactics. Comfy +11 GD early in the season on top, just need to keep it up :-X.

[Justin Bieber]

A 2-2 draw with Adelaide in a close game. Only thing apart was his 2 shots on target to my 9 ::).

[CrowsFan]

I had a 1 all draw in a tight game against Wellington. Probably would have won if Messi didn't get sent off in the 20th minute :(

[CrowsFan]

A nice 7 nil loss to Gold Coast in the quarter final of the Cup. Playing my B team whereas HP was playing a mixture of both I think. Only positive from the game was I injured David Silva for 13 days so he wont be playing against me in 11 days time :D Sorry HP :P

Haha, always try to take in the fit players so was a bit of both :P. Good game? :P.

Just because Silva scored 4 goals against you, your players HAD to injure him? >:(. Also, Van Persie landed a hattrick as well as 2 assists for MotM honours.

Might also mention the match was "Closer" than the scoreboard suggests. Roar won out possession 53-47. They took 25 shots including 13 shots on target (which GC beat 8)), but just couldn't convert!
