Morning all, and welcome back to Germany where I’m attempting to fashion a competitive Cologne team from neighbouring countries and the homeland. As to where we are in Season 2 – here’s our Graham with a quick reminder:
Hello Blogseekers! Settle down, Mickey love, it’s time to delve into season 2 of my German project. As a quick recap we finished 4th in the league after a blistering start aided by Nicolas Anelka, followed by a lumpy middle and then some stability with the arrival of Oliver Bierhoff.
A a top 4 finisher, we enter the weird little League Cup thing at the start of the season and are immediately shot down by the Bayern behemoth.
Good morning – I won’t dwell on last weeks update – after the positive part 1, part 2 felt like a poor follow up. Anyway, here’s where we are. No European or domestic cup games to distract us – just 11 games to see if we can pick things up.
Welcome back to Cologne where I am attempting to create a decent side to compete in Germany by only signing a limited number of players from countries that border Germany, simple huh?
A reminder of our blistering start to the season left us a point of the pace setters with a third of the games done.
Hello and greetings from Germany. After my Leeds adventure I’ve now turned my attention to my Blog Squad Secret Santa shirt, where the excellent Mr Ross Bell sent me a FC Koln away shirt.
I mean, isn’t that amazing. Reminds me of Cameroon for some reason, but anyway, FC Koln – or simply Cologne as they are known in the game, didn’t have the best of seasons in 1997/98. 20 years after they won the Bundesliga, they were relegated in 17th place.
Looking at their squad, it’s not hard to see why.

Firstly, a quick recap of where we sit, top, by a small margin, with 12 games left to play. Hoping we can retain the title, as we’re definitely scoring more goals than the other title hunters. Man Utd scoring only 1 goal a game is nuts.
Hello and happy Thursday Champman fans. We’re heading into the middle section of season six, where destiny shapes our season up and sees if we can keep on track for my African Leeds team to triumph at Europe’s top table.
The Canaries aren’t at it as we kick off this blog episode with a resounding win, even if we did ship two goals. Whilst we think we are becoming hard to beat, here’s our Graham with a quick reminder.
Hello blog readers, we’re into added time with our Yorkshire Africans as I have decided to spend one more season with these beauties in a quest for the Champions League trophy.
As a quick recap on the past 5 seasons, we were noted for our entertaining attacking prowess which brought a FA Cup victory and a run to the Champions League semi-finals, but deficiencies at the back often cost us.
Last season however, two key signings, KIlana in goal and Freddie Kanoute up front delivered the Premier League and Uefa Cup glory. I also steered Nigeria to an unexpected World Cup triumph in Japan.
So, this season, Leeds are going for the big one, but first, a little transfer business.
Out go a few occasional sidemen
Hello and welcome back – it’s still January for a few more weeks, or so it seems, but today we are in March 2002 and my all African Leeds team are perched atop the Premier League, 9 points clear of perennial challengers Man United with 12 games left. Here’s how it stands:
Hello – it’s Thursday morning so time for another spin around Elland Road and the middle of Season 5 for my African Tribe. We’ve made a blistering start to this season, topping the table and progressing well in the Uefa Cup – so can this be the season where glory is destined?
Here’s the table after 13 games:
