P10 – CM9798: Half & Half Premier League | @KingOfTheRooks

So here we are, the final run in of this absolute shocking idea that should never have seen the light of day. Who to blame? Dave Black of course for allowing me to blog it. We’ll cover April/May due to the distinct lack of action in May.

The FA Cup final is now decided; Suncastle will face off with Everpool.

P13 – Binary Brilliance: Tackling CM2 97/98 with an AI Co-Pilot! | @tjmitcham1983

Hello and welcome back to the Comendador stadium, as little old Uniao de Lamas find themselves top halfway through season four. Miguel and Diogo have been through some very poor second half showings in recent years, so let’s see if they can buck the trend….

First up is the cup tie at Benfica. Our boys have never seen 70,000 fans before, we barely scrape that cumulatively over a season! Despite that we put up a decent showing and only go down by a solitary goal. Integral CDM Cesar is ruled out for three months after a horror tackle, which puts a dampener on our day in the big time.

The first round of the cup gives us a chance to hand debuts to regens Southall and Semedo. Both do just fine as we ease through 3-1.

Roll up, roll up! It’s February and we’re almost at the close of the inaugural season of the half and half Premier League. Will it be the final season? Absolutely! I’d link to last weeks post so you can catch up, but it’s almost 10pm on a Sunday as I write this, and I can’t be f*****. Please accept my most humble apologies.

Everybody’s favourites have an absolute mare, but Norpswich are on the up.

P11 – Binary Brilliance: Tackling CM2 97/98 with an AI Co-Pilot! | @tjmitcham1983

Hello and welcome to Season Four of the Uniao de Lamas AI-inspired saga. Will it be another season lingering in mid-table obscurity, or can Diogo and Miguel finally secure that promotion? Let’s find out.

To kick things off, we’ve tasked Miguel with setting some objectives for the season. After a bit of deliberation, we’ve settled on promotion as our primary goal. Accompanying that, we aim to integrate two of our promising young talents into the starting XI and stabilize the club’s finances.
