-- Kirkland and Gordon are called up for a Oct 18th England Match.

-- Adagsmar has been suspended for two additional European matches (3 total) for his vicious red card against Roma. So we basically have to make sure Crespo is ready to go for all our Euro Cup matches from now on.

-- Capitani and Constantino are named to the EPL Team of the Week

-- Ireland can't qualify for the Euro Championship and our youngster Eoin Darcy gets into the last "meaningless" qualification match. He gets a goal, his first international goal!

-- The group stage is complete for Euro Championsihp Qualifying. Group winners are in: Italy, Serbia, Holland, Turkey, France, Germany, England, Austria, Spain, Portugal. Norway are the hosts. That's 11 spots out of 16. The final 5 will be decided by playoffs between the second place teams from the qualifying groups:

Bosnia & Herzogovnia vs Poland
Romania vs Israel
Slovakia vs Hungary
Scotland vs Switzerland
Greece vs Croatia

Donnelly has been playing a lot for Scotland. Mattle starts every match for Austria, Aldrovandi and Kirkland both get called up and occasionally used by Italy/England.

October 23rd, 2023

Aston Villa(4-0-4, 12th) @ Ipswich(6-1-1, 2nd)

Aston Villa are 6:4 favorites today, we're slim 13:8 dogs. Not quite Tottenham levels historically(we'd never beaten Tottenham until this year) but close, we're 1-5-6 lifetime against Aston Villa, 0-3-3 the last 3 seasons.

We're in prime time on TV today for this match. We play NEC in the Euro Cup in 3 days. We *should* be heavy favorites there but I'm not going to take a lot of chances there.

GK: Capitani
D: Kirkland/Mattle/Aldrovandi/Jackson
M: Adagsmar/Jean/Mills/Hutchinson
F: Khan/Constantino

Aston Villa have a 24 y/o ST Danny Clark leading them early on with 3 goals in league play... his first 3 goals ever in the EPL despite being on Villa his entire career.

We hold out some starters for our next match, Crespo, Donnelly, Gordon, Heywood, Bartlett are sitting today, the guys in their place are damn solid too though (except Hutchinson is a pretty big dropoff for Gordon). Khan/Constantino start up front, Khan is now match fit and we need to get him going. His morale is poor so we'll worry about that some.

Standard mindset with a slightly high defensive line.

11': Adagsmar up the left side, slowly, he dodges a slide tackle and keeps going, passes ahead to Khan who is way wide, Khan to Constantino at the penalty spot, his man makes a tackle but the ball just squirts away a few feet and Constantino recovers and gets to it immediately, shoots, its barely in the right side of the net! 1-0

16': A steal for Mills, pass ahead to Jean, he makes a run coming in from the left, shoots from 15 yards out, but right at the keeper. Tough angle, could have waited for Khan or Constantino.

21': Mattle with a yellow.

26': Adagsmar a cross, Constantino a header... keeper has to dive to get it and turns it behind for a corner. They clear the corner, but we control and stay pushed up. Eventually though they intercept a through ball attempt and clear.

37': Throwin in their end on the right side, thrown to Constantino who is a ways out, he plays it forward to Hutchinson at the edge of the area, backwards to Khan, right back ahead for Hutchinson and he's free in the area now! He makes a move on the keeper, holding the ball forever given how crowded the penalty area is, then sticks it in the net!! 2-0

HALF: We've done a great job here, totally different than the team that struggled in our last what, 5 matches in a row? We just need to keep it up for the second half. We've taken 6 shots, 4 on target. They have 5 shots, none on target, I am not sure I saw a single one in a highlight. Darcy in for Constantino, Smith in for Mills at the half.

56': Highlight opens with Khan out left 30 yards from goal, he runs down the left, dodges a tackle, near the end line, moves towards the penalty are, dodges another tackle... tries a shot from very close range but at a very very tough angle, saved.

72': midfielder Sandro a yellow.

83': Aldrovandi a yellow.

We kill off the second half superbly well, only seeing a few highlights at all, and only watching them shoot twice.

Ipswich 2 : 0 Aston Villa

Man of the Match: Matthew Khan (8.3)
Goals: Constantino (7.4), Hutchinson (7.7)
Assists: Khan 2
Notables: Jackson (7.3), Kirkland (7.4), Mattle (7.2), Adagsmar (7.3)

Darcy with a 5.9 in the second half.

-- This win comes along with a Chelsea 1:0 win over Arsenal, and 9 matches into the season we take over 1st place by 1 point. We're 7-1-1, Arsenal 7-0-2
