I'll be starting at 7pm EST on Thursday the 19th, it should take about an hour and 45 minutes to play. Feel free to drop by and make snide comments. If we're doing this right, we'll need twitter hashtags and reporters at the ground!

(Assertively) Now is the best time to recruit, ahead of the March youth intake. But let's stay grounded, these kids need the best coaches we can find as well, so B and don't make us regret this. Find some Welsh superstars!

Ten points behind 7th, 14 games to go... We can still be promoted I say!  Zeroisanumber posted:Scunthorpe. Christ, what an unfortunately named town. If I recall correctly from last week, the joke goes "Scunthorpe are one of the three English football teams with a swear word in their name, along with Arsenal and Tackleford loving City."

Hooray for slightly better results against Tackleford! 10 points, 5 games? I still believe!  Anyway. Let's Team President This! If I had a pet dragon, I would totally go BBC's Merlin and just occasionally summon the dragon to destroy teams who are cheating us out of victory (too often have I been burned by the stupid AI in this game) and on one day per year let children ride the dragon at the Wrexham fête.

I've been getting really good results for the last two games with a 4-2-2-1-1 deep system, where you run with 2 DM's, both wide midfielders (ML and MR) and an attacking mid up the centre supporting the striker. Generally the plan is to make one DM a BWM and the other a BBM to just fill out the centre spot a little bit more, the central defenders are a BPD playing cover, and a Limited Defender playing the stopper. Fullbacks are in basic wingback roles, so not complete, but a bit more than usual. Set the lone striker to a complete forward to hopefully make him link up a bit more with the AMC, and the AMC can run whatever suits your players best. It works nicely with a counter mentality, and if you have the team pass the ball to feet, there generally tends to be a good bit of pressure you can build up around the middle and with the striker occasionally coming deeper to play the ball off and around, the defense sometimes don't see it coming.

No, FM, I don't care what a guy who played for us in the conference thinks about our Champion's League draw. I'm betting Ibra is retired, or very close to by now. Rezic may be Kovacic?

habeasdorkus posted:They had a pretty serious swoon that saw them bottom out in 20th place after 16 games, but they've recovered somewhat to get back to the mid-table. They're still only six points from the relegation zone, but also seven points from a playoff spot, so either could happen. I think we'll see them next season in League One. Awesome! Do we get Wembley ticket revenue from the JPT?

habeasdorkus posted:Since we're also talking about sports things that have caused us pain, there's the time I was tossing some batting practice before a softball game when I was a summer clerk in Philadelphia. The biggest guy on the team is up, and clobbers the ball. Directly at my ankle. Hey I have one of those!  Unlike you, I actually broke the bottom of my leg on this one. I had lined up as receiver in American Football, and the ball was thrown towards me. Unfortunately it was a bit underthrown, so I was reaching behind me to catch it and the lineman covering me (it was only a quick out play) went over me to break it up. Long story short, big fat lineman flattened me and cause I was reaching backwards, my ankle was not in a happy place, and it wound up broken. The kicker was that this was 5 minutes before the end of the game... and it was only a pre-season scrimmage. Missed the rest of the season

Hey, the Villa v Norwich game was last weekend and it resulted in a wonderful 5 goal first half! You're thinking of the other Villa game that was on TV, against Newcastle, buddy! Seriously though, Villa have 5 TV games in a row, not that I'm complaining...

My only worry with getting promoted this year, which is a concern in general but may be sped up if we're promoted, is if we go straight back down and some of the key players get restless and want to leave. It happens way too often, and I don't want to lose Meteor
