Bullet, might I suggest trying imgur for your images?

[bulletsponge]

"whats in your wallet" Cup round one

home vs Oldham, a league 2 club

1-1 tie at end, extra time we go

we win 3-2 in overtime, but its clear this team needs some veteran defenders

[bulletsponge]

home vs Derby, a promotion contender. we tie 0-0 which is good for us. it was also the return of McAleavy

as it turns out Arsenal, Tott, stoke and chelsea are eyeing him right now, so a nice big check might be coming my way soon

[bulletsponge]

off to Wolves. jeez talk about a hard start to the season

lost 3-2, my defense didnt stop much

[bulletsponge]

we get a priceless win at home vs Crystal Palace. they have 5 players earning over 1 million a year, while my total salaries is 2.84 million

1-0 win

were getting outshot badly in each game

[bulletsponge]

@ Barnsley in 2nd round of the "whats in your wallet?" cup

we lose 2-1. damn my LB's get killed in every game

my god we gave up 40 shots!

[bulletsponge]

McAleavy got sold to Chelsea, and i got 670K as part of the deal

[bulletsponge]

we tied @ Ipswich

1-1

good result

[bulletsponge]

home vs bristol city

we go into half tied 1-1

but then we fall apart in the 2nd half and lose 5-1. wtf is going on, my fullbacks play like shit ever since the patch a few days ago. seriously if they get a rating 6.0 or better im lucky

[bulletsponge]

i let my assman handle the road game @ Leeds

sure enough we win 2-0. i think this game is broke, i cant win myself but my assman can win. theres something not right here

[bulletsponge]

southampton comes to town. watch me lose 4-1 and my fullbacks both get ratings 5.3

hmm something odd is happening, im leading 1-0 at half. maybe the adjustments i made help....

we tied 1-1

im pleased with this result, we outplayed them and outshot and outpossesed them. maybe the few adjustments i made worked. i feel sorry for southampton, i would trade my left nut to have their youth setup

[bulletsponge]

@ Huddersfield

we lose 2-0, our defenders look like fools again

[bulletsponge]

i let my assman handle the next game

H vs peterborough

we win 2-1!

we get goals from McKee and Jackson to win the game. needed that win

[bulletsponge]

i control this game

@ Aston Villa. this should be tough

sure enough my boneheaded defenders refuse to boot a ball out of thier own 6 and Aston scores an easy quick goal. they get another before half and were down 2-0. in the 2nd i go to an attacking mentality and we somehow comeback and score 2 in the final 20 to tie the game

2-2. my defenders are still committing dumb errors thats killing me

[bulletsponge]

the table

[bulletsponge]

@ Doncaster

a solid 1st half, weve had the better shots but the game remains 0-0

0-0 tie but we outplay them. thier goalie made a big save in extra time and the post saved his ass once

still road draws are vital to my survival this yr

[bulletsponge]

Home vs Brighton.. this is a "winable" game

deasy scores a corner, and moran gets another before half. we lead 2-0 at half

im leading 3-0 in the 82 min, when Cody Cropper my GK pulls a monster boneheaded play and handles the ball out of the box. instant red and a free kick

we hold onto a 3-2 win with a striker in goal

[bulletsponge]

hosting #2 Charlton today
backup keeper kennedy forced to start today

no surprise we get spanked 3-1

[bulletsponge]

we tie our road game at Fulham 2-2

[bulletsponge]

Home game vs Middlesborough

we score first, but then we give up the next 2 goals to fall behind. but then we explode and score 3 more

Butler scores 2 and gets an assist. moran dominated the right wing and scored 1 and had 2 assists

4-2 win!

[bulletsponge]

Nott forest comes to town.

a dull 0-0 draw. but a points a point

[bulletsponge]

the Youth facilities got completed. they are now "Below average"

i asked the board to improve my training facilities and they agreed. it will cost 950K and start at the end this season. currently they rank as "Adequate"

[bulletsponge]

travelling to Blackburn

Moran (the good one) is having one hell of a run, hes scored 2 goals in this game 2-1 2/3 way thru

bekkevold gets his 2nd yellow

we hold on to win 2-1

Moran this season 15 starts 7 goals 4 assist

[bulletsponge]

@ Barnsley. they prop up the table and this could be a good chance for a road win

we gets lots of shots but no goals. then we give up a PK in stoppage time in the 1st half. luckily Cropper saves the penalty and we go into half 0-0

Jackson scores odd a cross from C Moran

we win 1-0

[bulletsponge]

@ MK Dons. they are #22 on the table, another golden opportunity to get road points

a 1-1 tie. ill take it. were on a 6 match unbeaten run

You and your assman are doing a great job Bullet on very little cash.

keep it going and despite their being some "huge teams" in the division, the Premier League is within reach this season or next for certain.

[bulletsponge]

Home vs Bournmouth

Home vs Leicester #2 in the table

we pounce on them early and often taking a 3-0 lead in the 1st half, winning 3-1 at the end

Home vs Bolton

a 2-1 win

Home vs Wigan, a playoff team

we jump out to a 2-0 lead, but then the young players getting time blow the lead and we tie 2-2.

albert deasy, my good young CB gets sold for 250k and 25% future fee to a scottish team. he asked to leave and his contract was about up

[bulletsponge]

Wolves come to town, another top team

we get off to a flyer and score in the 2nd min! but that only pissed off the Wolves and they strike back twice. including a schooling of my left back by Noone of wolves

we fall behind 3-1 in the 2nd half, but then we fight back and tie it up by the 70th. it ends that way for a good result

[bulletsponge]

ist game of the new year.

@ derby

derby dominates us and our 11 game unbeaten streak ends. 2-0

and with that loss we drop all the way down to 14th. wow 6th spot Bournmouth has 40 points... and me at 14 has 38 points
