FC Highbury

Well, considering the trend seems to be having a seperate thread for each career i'll post mine here.

I'll copy my first season report in so it's all here!

Right then, i'm using bugels 4-4-2 home tactic and my team is as follows,

GK Friedel

DEF Carragher, Mexes, Woodgate, Dunne

MID Johnson, O'neill, Elano, Quaresma

ATT Kitson, Jo

SUBS Kuszczak, Gardner, Ghaly, Mendieta, Kanu

We've started pretty well in the first six matches, the results are

PREM

FBK Kaunas 1 - 3 FC Highbury

FC Highbury 1 - 1 Toon United

Sauber FC 1 - 2 FC Highbury

FC Highbury 3 - 1 Strathcarnage

Drunken Yobs 0 - 3 FC Highbury

LEAGUE CUP

FC Highbury 2 - 1 Stoke

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm currently sitting in 1st, P5 W4 D1 scored 12 conceded 4.

However Bashley FC are right behind me with a game in hand, P4 W4 scored 7 conceded 0.

Bottom is Trollz United P4 D2 L2.

Ridley's Wonders however, are just above them P5 W1 L4.

Manager of the month, Rob Bradbury of FC Bradbury, runner up Alex Kent of FC Highbury.

Player of the month, Thierry Henry of Sauber FC, runner up John Terry of Tampines Uno

Right, i'm halfway through the Premiership season and doing much better than expected, I still remain unbeaten(the only team that is) but have had quite a few draws, a couple of those were last minute strikes!

My closest rivals are Epworth Town followed by Bergkamp FC.

Also Hamish Donnolly was sacked by Dynamo Zucabrest due to a poor league position and replaced by............me? As in, my name not actually me, so now theres two Alex Kent's in the league which is kind of annoying but there you go!

So, results.

Premiership

FC Highbury 3 - 1 FC LSD

Bashley FC 0 -2 FC Highbury

FC Higbury 0 - 0 Epworth Town

Ridley's Wonders 0 - 3 FC Highbury

FC Highbury 2 - 2 Bergkamp FC

MJGB Allstars 1 - 2 FC Highbury

FC Highbury 1 - 0 Trollz United

JJS Allstars 2 - 2 FC Highbury

So at the minute i'm doing pretty good but Epworth Town are right behind me and have conceded hardly any.

More updates later.

So, I'm still going well, 10 premier league matches left and surprisingly no longer unbeaten! After my last post I lost 2 and drew 1 prem matches on the trot but since then have recovered. Luckily Epworth Town lost a couple aswell!

The biggest news is that i've won the League Cup after a 4 - 1 thrashing of Tampines Uno!

Also we're through to the semi's of the F.A Cup.

So, results.

Anyway the updated table is as follows, i'll put the top five and the bottom six or seven because it's very close down there!

-------------------P---W---D---L---F---A---Gd---Pts

1.FC Highbury-----28---17---9---2--58--29---29---60

2.Epworth Town---29---17---8---4--59--21---38---59

19.JJS Allstars----------29---7---9---13--28--38--/-10/-30

20.Sauber FC-----------29---7---8---14--30--45--/-15/-29

So, as you can see it could be anyone that's relegated it's so close, which is enjoyable, well, not for them.

Obviously the three at the top have pulled away but even that can change.

As for top scorers,

-----Name------------Team-------Goals

1.Dave Kitson------FC Highbury-------15

2.Michael Owen----Afc Gillingham------14

3.Yakubu---------Ridley's Wonders-----13

I'll post an end of season summary later!

End of season summary

Well it's definately been a succesful season even though it got a bit nail biting near the end!

I won the Premiership and the League Cup, not too bad considering the competition, Epworth Town took me all the way!

Rob Bradbury was sacked by the board and replaced by Hamish Donnolly and the relegated teams were surprising!

Also Bergkamp FC were beaten 2 - 0 in the Champions League Final by A.C Milan!

So, the last few results were,

Premiership

FC Highbury 2 - 3 MJGB Allstars

Epworth Town 3 - 4 FC Highbury<-- Massive game this, put me 4 points ahead, thanks to a Kitson hat-trick

Trollz United 1 - 0 FC Highbury

Dynamo Zucabrest 1 - 3 FC Highbury

FC Highbury 1 - 1 Afc Gillingham

I'm gonna post two updates a season now as it takes quite a while to type up all the tables and things.

Right then, Season 08/09

I signed Darren Carter on a free and loaned out some youngsters to make room.

It's been another success story so far this season, were sitting on top of the league again having won the charity shield and only just missing out on the League Cup final. The team's definately clicked a lot better and are well used to the system I play. As well as going nicely in the league we cruised the champions league groups and are through to the quarter's after narrowly defeating Inter Milan.

RESULTS

Charity Shield: FC Highbury 2 - 1 Tampines Uno

So i'm going well at the minute, there have been a couple of managerial casualty's aswell, i'll show all that in my end of season summary.

P.S I'm not trying to go overboard with all this, it's just i've waited ages for this challenge and i'm really enjoying it, so i've got the urge to do all these tables etc

glad to hear your enjoying it mate

I cetainly am, a big thanks again for all your hard work!

Stop beating me!!!!!

Anyway my end of season report.

Season 08/09

So it's been a great season, i completed the double, effectively completing the challenge but no matter, there's still many season's to go with this team(give or take a few players ). As well as the small matter of the treble or even the quad!

It's certainly been eventful anyway, as I thought Palace, W. Brom and Southampton all went back down. With Sauber FC walking the championship followed by Jarrow Roofing. However, JJS Allstar's were knocked out by Watford(who eventually won) in the play-offs! Hello, Wayne Rooney(9M:D). So they'll spend another season at least in the championship.

There were managerial casualty's as I said before, I'll show who the manager's are in my league table.

So then.

Stop beating me!!!!!

Hehe, I can't tell them to play badly now can I :thup:

Season 09/10

Transfers

I was given a tasty 31 million to spend, so naturally, I had to buy a couple of players!

All the players that I sold or released never played anyway so I didn't see the point in keeping them, apart form Nemeth but it was a good offer and I had replacements.

Ins:

------Name-----Position---------Club----------------Amount-----

Rio Ferdinand---------DC--------Free agent-------------FREE------- Luckily spotted and signed him

Fabio---------------D/AML-------Fluminese--------------FREE------- just before FC LSD did!

Miguel Torres--------DRLC------Real Madrid--------------FREE-------

Wayne Rooney--------FC-------JJS Allstars-------------18M------- I wasn't sad to see them stay

Alan Jackson--------DMLC-------Burnley----------------1.2M------ down, 18M! A steal:D

SUBS:

Dunne, Fabio, Ghaly, Johnson, McMahon

So i'd say a pretty nice team, not too ridiculous i've tried to keep the core of the team in and just improve in a couple of positions, as well as bringing in a couple of regen youngsters. Should put me in good stead for my assault on the Treble!

I'll update halfway through this season.

800th Post

-

cant believe your not playing Shawky!

Congratulations on being the 1st to reach the goal!

Yeah Shawky is still around though, for sentimental value

Cheers, tbh I was kinda dissapointed to do it so quickly though, as weird as that may sound!

Anyway's i'm gonna keep going my next challenge is to do the treble!

treble first then the quad then i expect you to win every trophy in the season!

Yes Sir!

I'm gonna need a new keeper though, Friedel's old and now injured for 5 months and Kuszczak seems to let in everything that comes at him, and he got sent off in the last match! Richard Dunne went in goal and preceded to make several great saves, I got beat 3 - 1 but still, I was impressed.

He may have to do it again!

That happens when i play as Man.Utd he always seems to get sent off, thats why i always sell him asap!

you know which keeper to go for then!

I was hoping there'd be a good regen one but instead I may just buy Akinfeev or someone like that.

I noticed Cech's contracts running out but PJ's Elite are in the prem unfortunately!

enyeama! surely he crossed your mind!

Ahh but he's in the prem so I can't sign him, unfortunately.

who did he sign for?

Haha you won't believe this, Ridleys Wonders!

Probably helped with there good start! :thup:

Nice, the double

Well done so far mate, considering the fact you've just done the challenge, not to bad, not to bad!

yeeeesssssssss! ive got a good keeper!

Nice' date=' the double

Well done so far mate, considering the fact you've just done the challenge, not to bad, not to bad![/quote']

Cheers mate, but, as I said to Ridley it was kind of dissapointing in a way, to do it so quickly.

Still i'll keep going until I win everything!

you could start again with a different team if you get too bored!

I probably will tbh, i'm not bored yet though

I doubt i'll put the origional changes file back in now, I like the new PL!

good to hear! but you never know i may have another challenge for you soon

I'm intrigued......Care to share any info

In other news I did sign Akinfeev in the end, he cos 13.5 million but worth every penny!

I've also agreed contracts with Diego and Micah Richards, broke the rule a little with Richards but hey, there both in my all best ever FMH team!

I'll post my mid-season report tomorrow morning at some point.

I have an idea for another challenge... I think I'll let FMH2009 come out first!! Maybe ridley could help when I need it

Season 09/10

Mid-Season report:

Well my teams come on to a new level this season especially through December and January, we're really beginning to dominate matches now and really hurting teams, whereas before every game was close.

Of course it's thanks in no small part to the inclusion of Wayne Rooney and Welsh youngster Alan Jackson, were top of the table by 7 points with two games in hand! There haven't been any managerial casualty's as of yet but theres still time!

We've got two cups in the bag already in the form of the Community Shield and European Super Cup. I don't consider these to count towards any treble though as that has to be Champions League, Premier League and F.A Cup, the F.A Cup being the only one I haven't won yet.

RESULTS

Community Shield

FC Highbury 2 - 1 Bergkamp FC

So i'm still firing on all fronts at the minute and hoping to add a third cup for the season soon.

There was one in and one out in January.

In:

------Name-------Position---------Club----------------Amount-----

Igor Akinfeev---------GK--------CSKA Moscow------------13.5M------

Out:

------Name-------Position---------Club----------------Amount-----

Anthony Gardner------DC---------West Brom---------------1.2M-----

I decided that Friedel was just too old and injury prone and Kuszczak was just a useless ba****d who seemed to let everything that came at him in! You know what your getting with old Igor

He's played five conceded none with an Av. rating of 8, so point proven really!

Revised Line-up

-----------Rooney----------Jo/McMahon------

--Jackson----O'Neill------Elano----Quaresma--

--Torres-----Mexes-----Ferdinand---Carragher--

-----------------Akinfeev----------------------

SUBS:

Dunne, Fabio, Ghaly, Andrews, Jo/McMahon

That's pretty much it for now i'll post my end of season report as soon as possible, if I have the time to get through this season today i'll post it later.

im guessing im stuck in mid table as usual?

Yeah pretty much mate, although the difference between 12th(where you are) and a Uefa cup spot, is only 7 points! It's that close.

I've absolutley destroyed the league this season but i'll revel all when I do my update later

So, the end of season report and FC Highbury have completed the treble!

It was a season where the team came on to a new level and dominated the league. I finally won the F.A Cup and came within a goal of the clean sweep of trophies. The signing of Wayne Rooney being one of the main reason's for the success, he's been in scintilating form all season and notched 50 goals and 15 assists in 63 games for the club. Not bad for a debut season.

Anyway on with the results,

So that's season three over and the treble in the bag, I think especially with Richards and Diego arriving and possibly a couple more the clean sweep could be on next season!

If anyone has any questions about this season, please ask.

I'll update at the end of August with the transfers and my line-up later.

same here mate!

Season 10/11

Transfers:

I was given atransfer bidget of 26.5M this season, but with Diego and Richards arriving I would only be splashing out on a few youngsters. After the treble of last season, well, it was 5 trophies overall, i'm looking to go one better and sweep the board, with Richards and Diego in I think this can be acheived.

I was so impressed with young Mark McMahon last season that I have decided to line him up beside Ronney for an all english attack!

Anyway's, transfers.

Ins:

-----Name-------Position---------Club----------------Amount-----

Diego---------------AMC------Werder Bremen------------FREE-------

Micah Richards-----D/DMRC--------FC LSD----------------FREE------

SUBS: Carragher, Fabio, Fischer, Elano, Jo

An even better team than last season I think you'll, however there are only 3 origional members left in the first team, but also 3 on the bench and quite a few squad players left.

I've still got Shawky!

I've also got just over 30 million for transfers, i'm 5 million better off than when I started the new season, now that's what I call good business!

I'll post my mid season report soon.

I had Richards... And gave him to you for free!!

SACK ME NOW!!

Haha ,

Well actually I offered him a nice big contract in January and he duly accepted.

Sorry mate, all's fair in football and war :thup:

Until Millwall make the trip to Leeds

somebody call the police youve just robbed Jarrow Roofing! 5.5m for Kuzsczak thats day light robbery!

Hehe, I'm more than happy to take that money off their hands!!

:thup:

Well done kutgw and hope it goes well in the future

Anyway's, I haven't done an update in a little while, haven't had much time to play it however i'll do my mid-season report asap.

im going to predict that ridleys wonders will be near the bottom!

Ahhh, he of little faith, who knows what could happen? what with Enyema in goal you could do much better!

Still with the team i've got now you won't be winning the league!

well as long as i keep improving in my game im happy! but im currently 14th! after winning the league last year

SEASON 10/11

Mid season report:

Right, it's taken a little longer for this update but there we go.

So, i've continued my successes, and we're sitting comfortably on top of the table. The new signings have settled in well, quickly cementing there place in the first team, Diego in particular is having a great debut season. Mark McMahon has settled in nicely next to Rooney and there already both well into double figures in the goal department.

Funnily enough i've been sacked by the board.................of Dynamo Zucabrest that is(had you going there:D). Yup that's right, my double has lost his job after a stuttering start to the season and been replaced by NUFC W. Other managerial casualties include Art Van Der Laay who lost his job about three games into the season.

So then, down to business,

So i'm going alright but it's been very frustrating at times, disallowed goals and super human keepers havn't helped but there you go! Especially the Olympiakos match, 23 shots 18 on target and not 1 goal, depressing!

Anyway i'll do my end of season report once i'm done.
