Hello there! Welcome back to another stint in the Georgian national team hot seat. We’re just stepping into our Euro 2004 qualification as the reigning world champions. You can catch up here. The problems I foresee now is that the players are going to be in their 30’s by the time the tournament comes around. We should end up 1st seeds, so hopefully if we qualify, we can at least get out the groups.
Góðan Dag my heathen followers. Velkomin back to 871 where we are chasing a historic sextuple. Last time out we had retained both the World Club Cup and European Super Cup, managed to reach the final of the League Cup, had a Quarter Final replay in the FA Cup, in the Quarters of the Champions League and we’re sitting 3rd in the league but with a game in hand which could take us top.
Hello Champers!
Welcome back to London, and a new challenge with Crystal Palace in Division 1. We have a six point gap to the automatic promotion spot, in addition to the FA Cup and a surprise Cup Winners Cup campaign.
We start the episode with an FA Cup tie against Bournemouth. A sparkling opening half hour sees us home. Leftsided forward Gerry Cooper and Colombian regen Freddy Asprilla set the pace put the game out of reach in 30 breathless minutes.
Bolton Wanderers are back in the big time. Back in the Premier League, and we can start to dream about replicating Sir Alex.
We have 25 seasons to win the following:
Hello! Welcome back to the 30 for 30 challenge which is my attempt to get to the final screen in CM9798 which says you have completed all playable seasons. A lot has happened so let’s do a quick recap. We started with Morton in the Scottish 1st division and won promotion in our first season to the Scottish Premier League. We then finished 4th to qualify for the UEFA Cup and had a run to the quarter finals in the following season. We then headed to Coventry who went down but came straight back up to the Premier League before being relegated again. Back to Scotland we landed at Motherwell in Division 3. We had a fantastic time getting all the way back to the Scottish Premier League before moving on to Crystal Palace. We couldn’t save them from relegation but in Division 1 we amassed a huge 111 points to get promoted. Our 1st season back in the Premier League was unbelievable! We finished 2nd picking up some fantastic wins along the way. So with the recap done let’s crack on with Season 17 and a trip around Europe!
August
Welcome back to the Ladeze’s on Tour! 2001 saw us qualify for the World Cup for the first time, matching England for points in our group, including beating them at home – you can catch up here. As it happens, the World Cup draw was in 2001, but I’ve saved that joy for you now, and what joy indeed!
Góðan Dag Heathens. Velkomin back to Anglo Saxon times where we’re on the cusp of 871. When we left you last time out we had climbed back to the top on goal difference with Estone (Aston Villa) and Uuluuich (Arsenal) running us close.
Hello Fledglings!
Welcome back to Season 13 and the toil of the league champions, Leeds. Last time out, Niall found himself in unfamiliar territory in/out of the relegation zone. There’s a reprieve though, as form in the Champions League is good – relieving some board pressure.
This is how the squad looks; filled with regens bursting with potential. Campos, Panucci, Neville, Adams, Hierro, Leonardo, Enrique, Shearer and Fowler some of the regens on show. Can Niall get some more out of them?
Good morning and I’m going to kick off this blog post by wishing our host, Dave Black, a very happy birthday – have a great day and thanks for all your hard work on CM9798 from me and the blog squad.
So, can a latin version of favourite team land cup and league glory in part 24 of this odyssey?
First off, we have to deal with disgruntled strikers – no.
There’s a feeling of positivity around the place. The last update was an unbeaten run. We are 9 points clear of 3rd place with 15 league matches to go. This will either be a glorious piece that ends in an orgy of self congratulation and Premier League football, or one of the biggest bottle jobs since Kevin Keegan told the world he would love it.
The curse, remember the curse.
