looking at my season stats over the last 4.5 seasons and this one looks to be my best yet - certainly in placing and defence., but second best goals scored, well pleased.

Frustrating loss last night, and everyone around me lost or drew also, a chance to really solidify a top four spot gone.

Big game tonight against Battle Hill, win and I have a 7 point gap to fifth, lose and it's a one point gap with a tough closing schedule. C'mon lads

1-0 up against 4th place.

Injured their fearsome striker and best player by a mile, George Bail, in the first minute - handy! Haven't lost to Battle Hill since the 8-2 catastrophe a few seasons ago, hopefully that continues.

OMG 5-1 after 37, must be the new striker signing for our "real" club that has inspired this!

Haha so tonight I face Manakau the team that has been ythumped lately, but I am missing Leilei with a suspension...I suppose it is the best game he could be suspended for :P

Considering it's a bunch of 1.5 star players, you could probably play your whole reserve squad and still win it comfortably.

Probably could. 3-0 in first half hour, goal to Allbeury (Sub ST) & a brace for Pink.

4-0 as Vicelich scores next.

Tim Pink gets a hattrick inside 40 mins, and its 5-0

Scores for this team since they became Manakau 0-10, 1-11, 7-0, 0-12, 12-0, 0-10 => 6 straight losses 1 GF, 62 GA.

over 12 years ago

And Vicelich scores 2 more 60' & 62' and it's up to 7-0

over 12 years ago

And the game finishes 8-0. Pretty happy with that game :D

4-2, still second.

Best win in Whips history last night! Against a fairly decent side who I've struggled to beat in the past, I knocked in 7, for a 7-0 victory, just as Melddahl was going through a cold streak he pops up with 5 goals! So many club records shattered. 

Win gives me a four point buffer over fifth with a tough road ahead.

He probably deserves rest in tomorrow's FL game then ;)

I want the title so I'm pondering whether I should or not. Definitely will be giving some of my squad players a run out, but they're no shmucks, I'll make a decision tomorrow. Should be a tough encounter regardless.

over 12 years ago

5 guys one yellow away from being banned, one injured, and one currently banned. Gonna be a tough run home.

over 12 years ago

down 0 - 1 away to Los Halcones Locos...

Come on you Trains!


Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.


Phoenix fans. We have to win them over one fan at a time.

over 12 years ago · edited over 12 years ago · History

Absolutely vital come from behind 2-1 win, my replacement left winger with the 14th minute winner and the MOM performance, great to see the wider squad guys stepping up. Keeps me with a four point buffer with a game against the runaway leaders up next, so that's a crucial margin likely to be trimmed to just one point after Friday's game.

over 12 years ago

1-0 win keeps me in fourth with 3 games to play.  Hoping to make the playoffs to get a bit more coin, no realistic chance of promotion though.

over 12 years ago

Not looking good for me, I am in automatic relegation but I am only 1 point away from being in the relegation playoffs instead. Hopefully some wins will get me into the playoffs.

over 12 years ago

1-0 win over the trains keeps me in 4th spot - not sure I'll go so well in the playoffs with the amount of cards and injuroes I'm sitting on!

over 12 years ago

1-1 currently against the runaway league leaders. Probably will have a one point gap to fifth after this match so will have to end perfectly. Any points I can get tonight will be huge.

over 12 years ago

Big game tonight, must-win, but I have two defenders out suspended. Battling to hold onto my top four spot.

over 12 years ago

Going to win 2 leagues this season and get automatically relegated in another. Eventful season! 


Allegedly

over 12 years ago

Bit of a yo-yo club in NZ Tegal! There's too many teams who get relegated from the prem I reckon, you shouldn't have to win two games in order to defend your spot.

over 12 years ago

If I'm right and this is the last game of the season it's going to come down to the wire for my sponsorship goals.

Currently sitting 7th and playing 6th (one point ahead). Need the win for my top 6 finish and don't want to concede as I'm already sitting at the exact limit for that sponsor goal. 

My goal scoring machine also got injured in the last match so will finish the season with 29 and not get his chance to play for league golden boot in the last match. Also my best CM picked up a suspension so playing without some key positions in this one. 

It's eltham plonkers B team, I'm up against so could be an interesting one to see who he plays but I expect he'll be looking to hold his 6th spot - although also needs a win to guarantee promotion with his A team.

A win would make it my best season so far but it'll be tight for the sponsor money as I've been leaking a lot at the back. Probably should have chosen to be a bit more conservative but oh well life is no fun without risks. 

Fingers crossed for a jammy 1-0 win!
