Quiet season?! We were six points away from relegation. A major backslide.

@The Boy missed the playoffs on goal difference...

@K Stand Knut @Šjor Bepo @Stobzilla @Withnail @17 Van der Gouw @Dan @golden_blunder



Disaster for @pacifictheme and @Dr. Dwayne who were relegated by only 1 point.


Playoff Spots

@Skizzo @whitbyviking and @AbusementPark will fight it out in the playoffs with Everton. Skip to the last 2 spoilers.


Champion and Stats

The caf teams never really stood a chance to win the title, Wolves and Bolton were promoted.












Playoff SF

@AbusementPark failed to win at home...



But they got an away win despite a red card.


@Skizzo beat @whitbyviking away, good advantage for the 2nd leg...



A draw in the 2nd leg changed nothing, @Skizzo is in the final


Playoff Final

@Skizzo is promoted to the Premier League!

unlucky mate! I saw the tags and figured I should get ready for disappointment, especially when we keep selling off our best players and seem to sign no one :lol:

@maniak is this three back to back to back promotions?

So close, loved anticipation of the reveal, clicking that spoiler button was delightful, until it wasn’t. Congrats @Skizzo

I swear tonight we'll have some results. As compensation for the delay everyone will have an extra 500M!

Mate, if you're busy then leave it a bit. We will still all be here when you have the time. Don't let it feel like a job because of us impatient cnuts. :lol:

This sort of thing happens to me regularly in real life as well.

I second this, but I definitely won’t complain if you do get some results out

Definitely!

I mean, it's great fun, but it's just a game on a forum, and you've been running it for a while already. I hope you'll be able to continue, but don't feel like you owe us. :)

I third/fourth this sentiment (especially now I’ve had my season results through)

Don't worry, if I get tired of it I'll go out with a bang, making one final season where everyone gets relegated, except @Peter van der Gea who will surprisingly win the CL while still in the conference.

Yeah for sure. I know first-hand how doing one of these can feel more and more like an obligation. I avoided that in my last EU4 one partly because people kept posting and engaging with it (which automatically makes it more fun to do), and partly because it was over relatively quickly. A CM save could go on forever though, so just take it at your own pace.

Quarter Finals

Game over for @golden_blunder at the hands of @OptimisedRed



@whitbyviking surprised favorites Leeds!



PL matchup, @Hephaestus beat @Cheimoon away, the legend Titus Bramble scored the opener.



@Herman Toothrot beat PL team! Can we have a conference team in the final?


Semi Finals

An all-caf semi final of the FA Cup!

@Herman Toothrot v @whitbyviking

Will we see a Conference team in the cup final?

Yes :eek:


@Hephaestus v @OptimisedRed

@OptimisedRed are in the final, Robben with the winner!


Final

@OptimisedRed looking for the 2nd FA Cup in 4 years, @Herman Toothrot looking to make history, a conference team winning the cup!

Classic final, but @OptimisedRed takes the cup home with a late winner!

@Herman Toothrot was behind twice and managed to draw twice, but a late goal killed them in the end.

I'll take a break if it starts feeling like that :)

Leeds are the new PL champions but we have 2 caf teams qualify for the CL, @Hephaestus and @nimic!

@nimic as actually leader halfway through the season, but they had a terrible ending, winning only 2 of the last 8 matches.

@OptimisedRed got really close, winning 9 of the last 11 matches, but it wasn't enough.



Quiet seasons for @Bilbo @sebsheep @Cheimoon and @Samid. Never in danger, never close to european spots.

@The Cat had a season to forget, only 4 wins and they were never above 18th spot.

UEFA Cup 2010-11

@Bilbo @Samid and @Siorac represented the caf in europe...

1st Round

@Siorac went to Austria and were defeated by Sturm Graz.



They would turn it around at home, right?

They lost again... out in the first round.


@Samid was surprised by Polonia Warsaw. Things not looking good...



One goal short... @Samid was out in the first match.



@Bilbo beat Kilmarnock away despite an early red card.



Another win at home, @Bilbo is through!


2nd Round

Only @Bilbo left in europe, they faced hungarian club Honved but a draw at home and an away goal for the hungarians was not a good sign...




Away win, @Bilbo moves ahead!


3rd Round

Great result for @Bilbo in the first leg, it looks like they'll qualify.



I mean, they're not gonna throw away a 3 goal lead, right?

Right? :nervous:

Of course not, don't be silly.


4th Round

In the 4th round @Bilbo showed @Siorac how you knock out Sturm Graz




Quarter Finals

@Bilbo faced super favorites Lazio...

Tough away match at the Olimpico


Sadly not much better at home. @Bilbo's european journey is over.


Semi Finals


Final
