Only just realised Forest were top . Great result. Gamerio has got ten this season which is on par with his first season games to goals ratio. With better wingers and back up wingers its looking good. I sold Mouthinio last week as he is on the wane. I needed funds for someone else . All shall be revealed.
Welcome Timo Horn.

At last I have a young keeper who will rise. Bravo was my first but he dropped to 90 so exhcanged him for Alaves who was 90 as I hear he may go to Napoli. He ended up going to Brazil and dropped to 89. My youth keeper is only 83 rated so it at last . A young keeper who will rise to 90 hopefully this year . Not arsed about Moutinhio as he will drop in the next ratings I feel.

Timo Horn la .

Good luck with that. Doesn't he play for the team heading for relegation? He'd need a move to increase to 90 IMO - same as Perin.

Weird how City haven't won the CL. Guess he never dabbled with gold.

I dint think of that but let's face it. He is a good move for me as there was no alternatives. A fossil who is in decline or him. It was an easy choice to make. Also . If they do go down a top flight club may come in for him.

I was gonna sell Perin for face value when his transfer ban expires. Small chance he could go to Juventus but guess Horn isn't bad if a club makes a move.

Yeah, he's not good in Europe.

Plymouth can rarely afford straight cash deals mate. I usually have to sell to buy . I most probably will be in the red again after tonights game.

Matic is up for grabs. Some of the deals offered have been shit. One included Henderson. I want a young up and coming DM . Its not too hard to understand lads.

Manchester United are delighted to announce an agreement has been made with Liverpool for the permanent signing of Raheem Sterling. André Gomes and Alexandre Lacazette will be going in the opposite direction. This transfer will be done by me sending him £11M + André Gomes, then once the Sterling transfer is done Barney will offer the £11M for Lacazette. Great deal for Liverpool I'm sure you'll all agree, and I am happy this has been done in an amicable manner.
Still happy with that deal. Robbing bastards at SM not giving Sterling a rise in November.

14 shots, 7 on target to Reading's 6 shots, 3 on target. Final score? 1:1 - Reading goalkeeper MOTM and my goal was a bloody penalty. Plymouth continue to pick up the points against the top teams so looks like it is between me and Reading for that final spot, with Reading having the better chance.

De Gea (94)

Kimmich (91) Ramos (95) Boateng (94) Roberto (91)
Goretzka (91) Eriksen (91)
Isco (93) Pogba (93) Bale (95)
Griezmann (95)⚽

Subs: Perin (89), Christensen (89), Matip (90), Martial (90), Dele (91), Brandt (90), Sterling (91)
Suspended: Alaba (93)

Injured: Kroos (95)
Did not travel: Monreal (90)

Key:
⚽ = Goal
➕ = Assist
⭐ = MOTM
= Subbed off
= Subbed on


Next I play the creator of the phrase 'The Barnsley' - Barnsley.

Record crowd watches Tottenham Hotspur. 89,951 fans turned out to watch Tottenham Hotspur against Arsenal breaking the previous home record attendance.
Record crowd to watch you lose. Nice.

This is weird, does nobody want to win the league?

Funny thing is my post earlier was originally going to have just you and Forest under 'Division 1' with it saying that the others are like 6 points+ behind so would need you both to lose to have a chance.

Division 1 is looking fun! Meanwhile in Division 2 there's a bit of a gap forming between playoff and the chasing pack.

Managed to beat Middlesborough away without the suspended Belotti. Next match against unmanaged Leicester.

Feel like Damien jinxed me since he mentioned Norwich and Southend/Barnsley punching above our weights. Lost to Darlington 3-1.
De Rossi out for 3 weeks too. Urgh.
I've jinxed Barnsley too. Last couple of games they haven't scored and barely had a shot on target. That'll change when they play me though.

Yeah I’ve never used the gold membership. Think I used the trial month a couple of years ago but lost in the final.
Yeah. I've done the 1 month two three times but now that i've won both of them i doubt i'll ever buy again. Good game tonight, buddy. Destroyed me. You had to change tactics and stuff for this game, eh? :mad:

It's tight regarding cash at Plymouth . I need to get more players out on loan .... same old story la. Their capacity went up a few seasons ago but not sure what it is now or the average attendance is though. Every penny helps .... but some of these better and bigger clubs cant get results against us.

Conor lad. The last six results have been.

Plymouth LLDDWD.

Haha I just got sick of the 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 systems that I've been using, thankfully it worked for me. Good game though, doesn't look a 3-0 game from the stats!

Good luck, hope things get better for you.

Is the anybody on here that doesnt use 4231 / 433 ?
I used a variant of 532 against Spurs earlier this season and it got the desired result.

I use 451 as if I used my favourites which are 4231 / 433 wingers I would get smashed. When I first joined I used 541 so as you can see Iam getting more attacking. One day I will slay you all :lol:

I do believe though that 451 ( down both flanks ) when you attack becomes 433 wingers.
