Great Heathen Army – part 18: Dudley at the Double | @Goatnmcl

Góðan dag my fellow heathen supporters. Hopefully today is the day we make great strides into conquering England by continuing our league quest and making our bow into this years’ FA cup. We’re on the cusp of heading into the year 870 so lets see what battles we have….

Last time out we had a healthy 15 point lead at the top (i forgot to add this photo for some reason) suffering our only defeat against now second placed Monkwearmouth.

Georgia On My Mind – Part One: Howay the Ladzes! | @KingOfTheRooks

Hello and welcome to my latest CM9798 craze. Craze? Possibly not. But let’s get to the point. In CM9798, a lot of the lesser-known nations can be made playable. In this case my designated task is to take over the ‘golden generation’ of Georgian football. Arveladze, Kinkladze, Kavelashvili and co.

Here are the best 25 of the 28 Georgian players in the database. Schkeidze is very handy. His ability is almost as good as Kinkladze. We’ll have to keep Lob-j-nidze and Kiknadze apart, it could get a bit beyond the watershed, more like watery eyes.

Great Heathen Army part 17 – Kæmpe ór sá Heimr | @goatnmcl

Góðan dag my fellow heathen followers. Velkomin to the second installment of our 5th season in our attempt to conquer England.

Last time out we’d made a tremendous start to the league and for the first time ever, sat at the summit. We’re also top of our champ league group with a 100% record, still in the cups and have a world club cup final to look forward to.

Geordie Score – Part 19: On the Up? | @Matt_C_Wills

Hello and welcome back after a little Easter break for our LaToon stars.

Last time out we had a small recovery from a mid-season disaster run and patiently wait to see if finishes 7th in the league sneaks us into european action.

As we’re into Season 7, a lot of my stars are getting to be the wrong side of 30, so in a bid to free up squad space and transfer funds, I sell a few stars…

Diego was a steady peformer, but Cafu was a disappointment.

Replicating Sir Alex, Bolton Style – Episode Five | @KibworthBull

We are trying to replicate what Sir Alex Ferguson did at Man United, we are at Bolton and we are rooted to the bottom of the table. 10 points from safety and there is only 14 games left. “Baldrick, this is a crisis..”

Our season will end in this episode. Whether it ends after game week 38 or with a short one-sided conversation with the Bolton hierarchy, we are about to find out.

Very tough test first time out. Away at Blackburn who sit in 2nd. At least it’ll be a quick drive back. We have a positive. Anelka is off the mark.

30 For 30 – Season 11: Consolidation | @FMCM_FC

Hello! It’s been a while but we are back for the 30 season challenge. The aim of course is to complete the max number of seasons on CM9798. We started with Morton and had 4 wonderful seasons before moving on to Coventry which was a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Back in Scotland with Motherwell we’ve won Division 3 and Division 2 back to back. So let’s have a crack at Division 1.
