Just caught up with the game, adroitly avoiding any spoilers with a neat stepover on the results page. Huge congratulations Etienne, there only looked one winner in that final I thought, notwithstanding that you had to come from behind to take it. What a season Obrez has had – 16 goals, two in three minutes to win the final, finishing the game on 100 in total and bagging his best ever match rating after 15 seasons in harness for good measure. A first title for ZZ in 12 seasons surely sets an MLX record for longest interim between two championships, too, I should assume? Bravo indeed, you'd never have seen it coming after the regular season but that's the marvel of MLX isn't it.

On a completely different tack, is there anyone here with spare quota available who could do me a favour and take charge of a Brythonnic Premiership club temporarily for the next couple of days, by any chance? We've just had our CR and I'd like to get the new season drawn up ASAP before anyone has the chance to walk out, but in the last week I've had two managers auto-sacked – one I assume for insufficient quota, while the other has had his profile deleted altogether. Then another was sacked overnight, again presumably for quota violation, so that's three vacant sides right now. Hence any help in this area would be greatly appreciated!

But we did get a huge amount of luck - against the Lizards they had a straight red after 30 minutes, and we got away with playing Pintaric before he was fully fit. Against the Quaffles they couldn't take advantage of a massive imbalance in chances. In both the semi and the final, the opposition lost key midfielders to injury.

No, no VIP required MOF!
Gawpus, your help would be very welcome, thank-you.
Kev, sod's law says I've had a message from the (ex-)manager at the team you applied for, The Oort Cloud, saying he wants to take over again – I presume it was indeed a case of him not updating his quota in time. The game's blocking him because of your application being in, so I've just deleted yours for now and hopefully he'll be able to hop back in tonight. (This is something that annoys me, the 'first come first served' thing: I don't know why the game can't allow multiple applications for the same team, as in the official leagues, then let me choose the one I want to accept – but no, once one person applies no-one else can. Stupid system.)
There's still three vacancies, though, as some other sod has quit this evening. The other teams are thus Ninja Kittens, Lions FC, and Egypt Urban Club, so if you kind chaps want to jump in at those that would be terrific. I can kick you out again as soon as the new season is drawn up in the next day or two. (Though any and all are welcome to stay on, of course!)

Originally posted by Etienne View PostI don't know, I thought we had a real chance at the title ever since we started the season well, with Cooper making the midfield competitive. We didn't have much depth, so we were always vulnerable to injury, but I thought our best XI was able to grab a draw with anyone, and we had a side designed to win penalty shootouts. Once we lost our first game against you, we were only playing for DV for the rest of the regular season (especially with two sixteen year olds in the squad) and waiting for the playoffs.

Originally posted by Hot Orange View PostIIRC, ZZ's first title win also came after an underwhelming regular season. Etienne must be the master of pacing a team so that it peaks at the right time.

You're a gent MOF. Delighted to report that no bugger quit on me overnight and so between the three of you the Brythonnic Premiership was back up to a full complement of 110 managers this morning, hence since I'd got all my 'housekeeping' up to date last thing I was able to press Go on the new season just now. I can therefore kick the trio of super flying firefighters straight back out again if desired – can I just check that's your intent MOF, please, before I do anything over-hasty...?!

I'm going to post the Malouins DV purely because they're probably the best I've ever managed.

It's time to bid a fond farewell to Oscar Gineste, a member of our starter squad 16 seasons and 288 appearances ago. In his brief contributions last season he showed he could still do a job, but we haven't managed to change his mind.
