CM9798 25 Players for 25 Years: 25-21

Hello! The anniversary celebrations are just getting underway here at CM9798 towers. Deano’s been at the punch bowl and Andrew has edited in the Hungarian second division so things are coming along nicely.

What we wanted to do was compile a list of our top 25 players. Not just the top 25 players in the game based on ability, any old idiot could do that. Thanks to Nick Rowe for this from the patched version:

What’s your Beath? Part 9: Turn the AC Up

Good day to you and to paraphrase Dermot O’Leary, your Sunday starts right here! Incidentally if you are lucky enough to have your Sunday start at 11am, I envy you. Anyway, we’re back with Cowdenbeath for the last time this year before we take a break for the most important cup competition in the world and also the FIFA World Cup. Yes, that’s a CM Cup plug. The Beath are third, leading the middle pack as the Old Firm are, in Motor Racing terms, lapping us. Let’s try and end on a high. We’ve conceded 5 times as many goals as Celtic, that’s ridiculous.

Dean Smith doesn’t want to be Japanese – Part 8: The End | @Emsonite

One more time, celebrate and dance for free….with Deano.

We’re here for the trial. Japan vs Dean Smith

Let’s examine his honours so far

  • Div 3 Champions
  • Auto Windscreen Shield winners
  • Div 2 Champions
  • Div 1 Champions

Tidy enough. But hardly anything to write home about.

The Un-capt-icos: Part 3 – We’ve come to the end of the line | @Taitanator

Its Friday! Rob’s experiment reaches the end of the first season

We begin the final part of this epic trilogy with a tale of retribution, at the beginning of this adventure we travelled to Valencia and were beaten 5-1 in the most even of games.  It is fair to say that thanks to Lards and Mori, Spain’s perpetual substitutes we atone for that most unfair result.

Geordie Score – Part 8: Returnio of the King | @Matt_C_Wills

October is disappearing at an alarming speed. Here’s Matt trying to warm your hearts with some South American tales…from the North East of England…

Hello, what a time we’re having on Tyneside. We’re all South American here, but also all over the shop form wise. On paper, I have great defenders and a top goalie, but we keep conceding and our strikers can be somewhat toothless at times.

We’re also heading into the winter months, and we keep seem to be getting the flu….

Anyway, maybe a more moderate climate in Lithuania will help things?
