Hello! Welcome back, I’ve missed you. I took a small break to do life for a few weeks, as you read this we are about to enter week six of six for the school holidays. We all tread that fine line between “I love spending time with my kids” and “will you do as you’re told/NOT ON THERE/no you can’t eat that” but that’s parenting. Back in the computerised world of 1997/98, we are about to enter the summer of 2000. My three Eagles are all having differing times. Palace are in the upper echelons of European football, Go Ahead Eagles are punching above their weight and progressing whilst Nice…well I just with the summer holidays were over for them. We go again. Let’s start season 4.

Good morning, good evening, good whatever time of day it is. If you’re like me and currently parenting through the 6 weeks holidays, well done. 2 down, 4 to go. Speaking of which, I’m taking some time off after today’s episode and will return in a few weeks. With that, let’s set the scene. We’ve got a few months of Season 3 left, the BeefCo project is just about still going, although Crystal Palace are doing a LOT of the heavy lifting. Can we finish season 3 with a bang and maybe progress Nice or Go Ahead Eagles beyond mediocrity? Palace are on for the quadruple, remarkably. Let’s get to it.

Good hello to you all. Another week, another trip to Eagle town to catch up with the BeefCo. Statistically, this save has not caught the imagination but I’m still hopeful we can make it a memorable one. I mean, Palace winning the league in Season 2 is one of my greatest CM achievements, so hopefully we can build something. We rejoin midway through season 3, with something to play for across England, Holland and France.

Bonjour to you! We had a lovely time this week realising that Wednesday was the date CM9798 officially ends. Thankfully, that is just in game but in real life things are still going strong. The BeefCo trio of Palace, Nice and Go Ahead Eagles are progressing at various rates, some better than others. Go Ahead Eagles have sneakily become a decent Dutch top tier side, Nice are absolutely stinking up France and Crystal Palace are the Champions of England. You heard that right. Look, we’ve got a Champions League group and everything.

Hello! Back after a break with some BeefCo for your Sunday. Thanks to Andrew for his creativity in bringing us some truly unique World Cup content the last few Sunday’s. I took a small break due to life getting in the way and I didn’t want to rush through a blog or two for the sake of it, especially when interest is at an all time low from the reading public due to the actual World Cup. Anyway, Season 4 is underway and last time out, we got through the summer trading and the first month or so of the new season. Here are our three squads, none of which are complete.
