Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 21: An old flame | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! and welcome back to Molineux as we check in with Nick to see how he and his Portuguese-only Wolves squad are getting on. A change in formation has seen them start season six impressively, but they’ve always struggled with consistency, so can they keep it up? Here’s Nick with the latest…

After twelve games were 4th, which isn’t to be sniffed at. Liverpool lead the way just as in real life, but 5 points isn’t an insurmountable gap, so let’s see what we can do to catch them.

Nowhere I’d Radebe – Part 16: Extra Time | @Matt_C_Wills

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

Donny On Top – Part 4 | @FMCM_FC

Hello and welcome back to Doncaster for Season 4 of this blog. Season 1 we slipped out of automatic promotion into the Playoffs in Division 3 and promptly lost to Hull. Season 2 we managed to cling on to the automatic spots to rise to Division 2. Season 3 was our best yet as we won the Division 2 title at the first time of asking. All of this despite our team being repeatedly torn apart by the dreaded big club release clause. We have a £26 million war chest and no one wants to sign for us.

Team GB – Head to Head. Part 4: Deano January – May | @Emsonite

Happy Monday to you all! Not really, I hate Mondays. 

If you’ve just joined us me and my brother are doing a head to head to see who can do the best in one season with our own 97/98 Team GB squads in Serie A. 

I’m currently ahead of Darren at the halfway stage, but that can all change. 

My boys are currently doing okay. 2nd in the league and into the CL Quarters. We’re out of the Coppa Italia though. 

We kick off the New Year with a gift from Sampdoria. The game was won in the first half and we made a load of changes which let them back into the game.

Top 10 at 10: Bargain Buys!

Greetings and welcome to the final top 10 at 10. You’ve all done a great job of celebrating 10 years of this place so thank you for your interaction with these lists but also over the previous 10 years.

For my final list, I’ve put together a list of players who I think are my SOS players. Mostly these will be signings for lower league sides but some of them can do a job elsewhere, which we’ll get onto. Also the prices of contracted players can of course change, so this is just an “in my experience” type deal. Anyway, shall we?

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 20: Old habits | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! and welcome to season six with Nick and his squad of Portuguese Wolves. After getting to the Premiership at the third time of asking, they’ve finished 4th and 11th and got to the UEFA Cup semis, so what will this season hold in store? Over to Nick…

Here’s our Graham with a quick reminder of the squad before we get into the action. After the disappointment of last season, I bought some fullbacks over the summer in the hope that a change in formation might mean a change in fortunes. So, let’s get started…
