Hello there! It’s been hard over the past year to find something to try out that gets me going, something outrageous and stupid enough to be entertaining. So, what better than creating a new nation, and assigning a bunch of retired players from the database, as well as a few who should have been shown as retired, and giving them one last go at the World Cup, way past their prime.
So, what does the squad look like?
Hello. It’s been a while. A long long while actually. I’m super excited to be back blogging again. Apologies in advance for any rustiness. As is tradition with the Blog Squad we did our annual secret Santa and Zak got me the absolutely stunning Parma shirt from 97/98. The challenge he has set me is to drop Parma into the Premier League and dethrone Manchester United in the first season. To make it more interesting i’m not going to sign anyone. Original Parma team only.
Barnsley have been relocated to Serie A to make room for Parma.
This is how we will start life in Parma.
Continue readingHonestly, it’s been a week since it happened and very few people care but I just keep saying to myself – how did we win the league with THIS team?
You’ve all played the game and you know when you have a team that can win the league. I didn’t have that feeling here, I mean there’s a couple of wonderkids in there but they are very young. Emmers is a born winner but at Premier League level? Rarely. Richard Wright is class of course, and the wily Vialli scored 23 goals but is now 35. Ledezma’s 21 in 38 games at the age of 20 gives hope for the future. Bloody hell lads, how did we do it?
Anyway, onto season 3. The dream of course is to get two of these Eagle outfits to meet in the Champions League final. Palace will play in the Champions League, the other two aren’t even in Europe. There’s a long way to go.
Continue readingBonjola and welcome back to multi-club mayhem which, in hindsight, was probably a more apt blog title than the whole Eagles thing. Never the less, our three Eagle themed clubs are living a tolerable top flight experience – some better than others – and if this update goes to plan, they still will be in about 900 words time.
I did receive a comment that Palace were criminally under-represented in last weeks post. Sitting second in the league with fairly mediocre investment should be celebrated more, even if I just can’t get over how good Man Utd have been defensively. Anyway, let’s see how this goes.
Good morning! Or Good whatever time you happen to be reading this. We’re midway through Season 2 of this multi club mayhem, managing Crystal Palace (The Eagles), Nice (Les Aiglons/The Eaglets) and Go Ahead Eagles (no nickname required). Our Eagle Army are having a fight on to make themselves a mainstay of the top flight in France and Holland whilst Palace are leading the way as potential contenders for European qualification? Or maybe more…
Here’s lovely Bjorn so you don’t have to look at that AI Eagle image I created.
Bonjour all. If you are new to all of this, where have you been?! Other than enjoying yourself and living a life that doesn’t involve reading 10 minutes of retro nonsense on a Sunday morning. In short, we are managing three clubs under the entirely fictional umbrella of BEEFCO, a gag that has yet to raise a single chuckle amongst the dear readers. Nevertheless, things are going a lot better for one team than the other two. Bring on the winter months, hopefully we can have three happy clubs in ten minutes time.
Hello! Welcome back to England, Holland and France for season 2. If you’re new around here, check out the previous 4 episodes or this might be quite confusing.
It was meant to be a busy summer but managing three apparently completely unattractive clubs is bringing further challenges. So, how was your summer?
Continue readingHello! Bonjour! Dutch words meaning hello! We’re back with our trio of Eagles hoping to earn ourselves a couple of promotions. We’re into the run in now, with 2 promotions to play for if we’re lucky and whatever Palace are up to. Strap yourselves in, it’s a big episode today.
One of the surprises of the season so far is Paul McVeigh, bagging nearly a goal a game in French Ligue 2. Surely that Northern Ireland cap is just around the corner…
Bonjour and welcome back to this multi club mayhem. I’m managing three sides, each one more eagled related than the last, with the sole aim of having two of them meet in the Champions League final some day.
That day will not be soon but progress is very reasonable in some places. Erik Tammer is my hero so far, 25 in 21 in the Dutch second tier is a more than fitting return (even though as a league, and in fact as a country, the percentage of goalkeepers with working arms is alarmingly low)
Hello! Welcome back to England, France and the Netherlands. If you are reading for the first time, you’ll probably be thinking there’s an awful lot going on there. You might be right. I’d catch up with Part 1 if I were you and then get back over here for this latest instalment.
That eagle does look mad, no matter how you feel about it. You don’t get many friendly eagles, really, do you?
