Pants AFC - Patsys Fags
Flynny Alberts - Loftys Lazy 11
Sligo Rovers F.C. - Provisional SRFC
Landenstown Forest - Workington AFC
Big game for us: I set out this season with a view of possibly winning a cup and top 4 in the league - two absolutely vital games for us this week.
dfx...will you be fielding a weakened side?:o
More than likely not :D
Good, cos now you will have no excuse when you lose:pQuote:

Getting really tight now lads. Beat today by Alberts, lost our top scorer to injury after only 3 minutes. Provos beat at Burton. Alberts only 3 points behind ourselves and Provos now. Loftys only 4 back.
7 teams can potentially win the league :eek:
Just looked at the remaining fixtures - Flynny Alberts have to be favourites for the title now. All of their remaining games are at home.
Pants have 2 away games at Burton and Fags - we've NEVER won away against Patsy's. Record against Burton isn't overly inspiring either.
Our only home game is against Sligo - a team we've beaten ONCE in the last 13 meetings.
:o
Raging I didn't get a point tonight:(
And ****ing shams had to lose too to make my task of catching Burton even harder...well done dfx:mad:
Oops..and you've to stave off relegation at The Empress next up - might be a double-whammy :D
Alberts, Forest and lofty's deserve the league more this year than the top two. If you don't mind dp, both us and youz only have ourselves to blame if they do take the title considering we've been at the top all season and still not taken our chances:ball:
Balls- four points dropped in the past two games. My own finishing letting me down, although credit must be given to two class keepers. Would have left me in a nice position... another game ruined by injury. Arse has fallen out of my keeper too- was going to start Schmarz and all.:mad:
Cheers dfx! :p:DQuote:

My predictions for the last games
Burton:
Sadly, despite being a bloody tough side to play, they have too much to do - anything less than three wins sees the Provos and the Pants top them on goal difference. I suspect that mathematically it is actually impossible, but I doubt that will stop them. Pants, Landenstown then us (the latter two away) means that they have the hardest run in. Form - poor. Pick up 1 point Finish 7th
UCD:
Tough breaks for them - both Lofty's and Provos to face after Workington, but had they a win tonight they were only 2 points behind. Form - not great. Pick up 5 points. Finish 6th
Lofty's:
Lofty's have UCD and rapidly improving Patsy's, plus what must be a home banker against Workington. A cup game with us could do damage, depending on ref, and fortune, and may impact hugely - winning that game may not be in either team's league interest. Form - improving rapidly. Pick up 5 points. Finish 5th on Goal Diff
Landenstown:
Landenstown on their home record deserve to be top, and they would be worthy league winners. A draw for me with them at the moment would be a good result if in Kildare, but they are woeful travellers, and I should nick the win. They also have Burton at home, and as the best home team in the league, they'll surely win that. Sligo away - 3 points in the bag without leaving Kildare. Form - Good, bar a brief blip. Pick up 6 points. Finish 4th
Flynny's:
What can I say - grace, dash, verve: these are all words which can be used as verb or noun. Landenstown, Workington, Burton Albion, all at home. I have an awful feeling that we'll draw one of them, Burton or Landenstown probably. I also suspect that the game with Lofty's will wreek some damage as I have a fair few vital players a card from suspension. Either of the teams a head slip though, and we'll be on top of them. Form - more good than indifferent. Pick up 7 points Finish 3rd
Pants:
It looked from before the off like the Pants were down around their ankles, but they have pulled up so well that their success has given them a wedgie. Burton away could be tough, as could Patsy's away, but they should win one of those gams, plus home Sligo game. Fail to win two of the three and they are gone from the running. Form - indifferent. Pick up 6 points Finish 2nd
Provos:
Can they do it - they seem to be corpsing right now at the very moment - a win tonight would have had them three clear of the Pants, six clear of us - game over. Sligo at home, Patsy's away, UCD at home. Form - more good than indifferent. Pick up 7 points Finish 1st - just
Whoo - it really is tight at the top alright. Tighter than a -
Maybe I should just stop there...
What??:DQuote:

It's impossible to call, but for me:
1. Pants
2. Alberts
3. Provos
4. lofty
5. Forest
6. UCD
7. Burton
8. Fags
9. Sligo
10.Workington
This season has been really tough for me. I've been a mile off the pace. Still raging after losing to workington a wk back.
Looks like I will have to do a season in the 1st before I hopefully bounce back.
Very hard to call who will win it. I'll go for the pants because of their better defensive record!
FYI
Galway United have now changed their name to Lost in Portugal.
Ya more like lost in the 1st division
We were in 1st spot for 9 weeks in a row last season - and this season? This week is our 9th week in a row at the top. I see a similar outcome to last season - Only Flynnys at the top, Provos second and ourselves 3rd, once our annual collapse kicks in :oQuote:

Interestingly enough (and I use that idiom possibly in the Steve Davis sense), we each of us chose a different one of us to win it, and a different one to come second. Maybe we should meet up and take turns winning the league between us for the next few years. Just make sure that we don't let this get onto the forum. Thank god I finally worked out to do these PMs, eh!
Galway United have a new manager in place. I've also begun our annual clear-out of inactive managers with the sacking of 3 managers from the teams-Mason United, Wexford Youths FC & Giants FC. As usual if anyone reading this is, or you know anyone who may be interested in taking over either of those 3, or start with a new team then please let me know or just apply through the normal way[go back to page 1 of this thread]
Thanks!
Pants AFC 1-2 Patsys Fags
Flynny Alberts 3-5 Loftys Lazy 11
Sligo Rovers F.C. 2-4 Provisional SRFC
Landenstown Forest 4-0 Workington AFC
Lucanhoop, you can take over Mason United yeah, I'll sack you when I log in again and then you can re-apply to take them over.
Normal service is resumed and revenge is served :)
