BIG game. Glad it's at the Bush.

BIG game. Glad it's at the Bush.
Four starters out for tonight, not sure whether to go very defensive and try for the draw or just play as normal, I have no CM so troubles a plenty.
I have a Yellow Fever double header!
The Trains host the Los Halcones, and the Steam Engines are away at Newtown Park against Wellington United.
Oh, and check this out... http://io9.com/5980370/a-moonrise-unlike-any-youve-ever-seen
Steam Engines down 0 - 1 after 4 minutes.
No, wait! 1 - 1 after 5 minutes at Newtown Park!
2 - 1 United after 9 mins.
Scoreless at The Bush...
Half an hour in and it is 0 - 0 at Home Bush Road, but The Trains and Los Halcones are not the only teams who have failed to score yet.... in fact every game in the league is 0 - 0 except the Fafe are up 1 - 0.
United up 3 - 1 at half time against the Steam Engines...
Noticed that when I scored, pretty happy to come out with a 2-0 victory last night and move up to 9th in the table
Still only 5pts ahead of 12th for Sponsorship goals & need to concede less than 10 goals in the last 8 games. Could be quite tight in both those goals.
2-1 win for me, in 11th place now, a very clear top 10 so won't go any higher but I keep beating top 8 sides, so good promise for next season.
4 points out of automatic relegation so hopefully I can hold my position and manage to stay up
4-1 win over rivals sky valley on Friday put me top of the league by 4 points with 8 games to play. Am also 2nd in Australia, equal on points with 1st but behind by a goal difference of 5.
Going to be an exciting end to the season!

Trains up 0 - 2 after 12 minutes away to ANE2
And the Fafe and the Falcons are both down!
3-0 up in my game. The team in 2nd place is still 0-0.
Also 1-0 up in Australia, and the team at the top of the league is still 0-0, so could go top if things stay that way.
5-1 up in my game, 1 point off top place again.
correction 6-2
Another horrid result, down 3-1, going to continue my cleanout, might spend my morning working on which players to keep and which to try and sell before the Superbowl :)
bum. could've used some points from that game. 3-2 loss drops me back down to 9th
Nooooooo, my best player is out for 4 games and I have no cover at that position, I'm basically playing a B team at the moment.
Gotta win tonight. Just GOTTA win.
I brought Craig Jones back into the heart of midfield to partner young Tim Hickey, and the two of them together are dominating. We're 0 -3 up away heading into the sheds for oranges... Tim's got a stunning goal, so has Charlie ring, and Giovanni Kidd even chipped in with a rare headed goal from a corner. The Trains are storming along...
dammit, 0-0 draw and I've drapped to 4th, now 6 points behind 1st. Must regain winning streak.
Damn, you were top for a good long while too weren't you?
Hows this for a couple of exciting ends to the season coming up for my teams!
Haha I can only dream of scoring 80-90 goals on the season...I took a big hit with a 6-1 loss last night, Eaton added himself another goal. Think the aim now has to be to stay above 12th.
3-0 win, opponents only had 1 shot on target, solid defending! Comfortably in 11th now
A rare win for my lot last night. Puts us 2 points away from the relegation playoff spot, which if I'm honest, I'm not too sure I want. Would quite happily head back down to the Championship while I look to rebuild. In saying that, I'd like to be the top promoted side from last season.
God luck to everyone who is battling for promotion.
That will do ref! Blow for full time already alright!
A comfortable 6 - 1 win in the end.
Another loss and I am in serious danger of dropping down even further than my current 12th spot.
Damn, you were top for a good long while too weren't you?
yup, one loss to a mid table team cost me big time, I beat the RCB 'B' team 19-0 last night though, have second place at home next hopefully I'll beat them and claim second spot back, then it's a tough fight for first.
beating second place 2-1 with about 5 to go, 4th is holding 1st to a 2-2 draw, only 4 points off claiming my title back.
I won 2-0 and the team in 2nd place lost. So am now 6 points clear with 3 games to play. Should be back in the premiership with another trophy :D
Team in 2nd has Sky Valley next, hoping my rrrrrivals can help me out!
brilliant! Birthday prezzie from Trophy Manager a 3-0 win against M.C Utd at home!
Was hoping for a draw at best here. Up to 7th with 3 games to go, must stay above 9th.
C'mon you Falcons!
2-0 victory with 10 men and 38% possesion, plus now get my star player back, 11th place is looking secure.
