'mon all![]()
the update is written and will be with you at 9pm
Pundit
Welcome to the December Show, Coming up today we have the final Semi Final of the English Regional War and the last two quarter finals of the World Wars as well as a Gauntlet Quarter final and the first two quarter finals from goal frenzy. Unfortunately no bids were put in for the challenge belt battle or for any grudge matches so there will be none of them this month.
World Wars Quarter Final 3
Pundit
This match sees two of the unfancied robots going up against each other for a place in the world wars semi final and top four overall in the world. It’s time for Armadou Traore-Mcnamee vs Sam Flynn
Battle
Armadou Traore-Mcnamee was left out of the first match of the month as Oxford lost 2-0 to Chesterfield, this prompted the manager to change the team around a bit and he was restored to the line up for the game against Stevenage, unfortunately this also ended up in a loss with Armadou coming out with a 6.1 rating, despite this he was left in the starting line up as Oxford took on Wycome and drew 0-0 rating in at 6.9. The manager then decided he’d had his chance and so was left completely out of the squad as Oxford got battered 4-0 at home to barnet, this hammering saw him restored to the side for the win over Burton rating in at 7.0. He started the final game of the month a defeat to Crewe rating at 6.5.
Score 6.63
Sam Flynn got an injury 4 days into the month which ended any hope he had of making a brake-through at Leeds keeping him out for the entire month.
Score 0.00
Pundit
Well that was the walkover many of us predicted although Armadou will have to improve considerably if he wishes to make the final, as for Sam Flynn its come back again next year.
World Wars Quarter Final 4
Pundit
This is an interesting matchup both Chris Hatton and Dead Metal performed poorly in the heats, but somehow dead metal is the public’s second favourite to win this competition picking up 36% of the vote. Let’s find out which of the robots has managed to lift their performance and qualify for the Semi Final.
Battle
Chris Hatton has started to make his breakthrough at Carrarese; he was on the bench for the game against Bellaria and came off it in the second game of the month against Crociati Noceto. He was left out of the squad for the final game before the winter break
Score 6.50
Dead Metal has failed to make any more appearances for Newcastle this month and is still training with the reserves.
Score 0.00
Pundit
Well that went against popular predictions with the second favourite for the competition Dead Metal dropping out of the competition at this stage. Anyway the draw for the semi final has now been made
Chip Butty vs Armadou Traore-Mcnamee
Joe Tompkins vs Chris Hatton
English Regional Wars Semi Final 2
Pundit
Maz Armley vs Chip Butty should be an interesting battle as they both scored well in the heats. Chip Butty is the favourite for the competition so you would expect him to progress.
Battle
Maz Armley came off the bench in the game against Kidderminster in the 1-1 draw rating at 6.4. He was then an unused substitute in the FA Trophy clash against Guiseley before being left out of the squad completely against Grimsby. He started the defeat to bath rating at 6.7, before in the final game of the month being an unused sub as York beat Mansfield.
Score 6.55
Chip Butty was injured before the month started and is still expected to be out for another 3 or 4 months.
Score 0.00
Pundit
Well that was a surprise, the hot favourite for this competition is out. Maz Armley has pulled off a great coup in winning this match but will have to do so once again if he wants to win as he goes up against Alex Seddon in the final.
Gauntlet Second Quarter Final
Pundit
The random number generator chose number 7 for the first time, this is most passes completed so that is what George Tugby and Mackemkillah will be judged on
Battle
George Tugby is still training with the Everton u18 squad and made no appearances for the first team this month, he did however pick up a major injury which is expected to keep him out for another 3 or 4 months.
Score 0
Mackemkillah racked up 35 passes in the 0-0 draw with Forest Green, before being left out of the squad for the FA Trophy match against Sittingbourne. He was back in the starting line up for the draw against Kettering gaining an extra 19 passes. He scored a goal and picked up a further 29 passes for the win against Luton. He started the final game of the month against Southport picking up an extra 30 passes in the 3-1 defeat.
Score 113
Dead Metal has failed to make any more appearances for Newcastle this month and is still training with the reserves.
Score 0
Judges
We were left with a tough decision here but we felt that because he is in the reserves and fit we will just give this to Dead Metal, sorry George.
Pundit
Well that was a very convincing performance by Mackemkillah as he progresses through to the semi finals, a very disappointing round for Dead Metal but he too also progresses.
1) Mackemkillah
2) Dead Metal
Goal Frenzy Quarter Final 1
Pundit
The results of the predictions are in
Chris Owen 60%
Ishu 27%
Lucas Volman 13%
Chris Owen is the hot favourite here but Amadou will be sure to provide stiff opposition
Battle
Chris Owen added his 6th international cap starting the friendly in over Algeria. In the first game of the month against Barrow he scored the only goal in a 1-0 win. He was left out of the FA Trophy draw against Forest Green as his manager thought they could get through without him and he could do with a rest, as this was not the case he was restored to the starting line for the replay where he scored 2 goals in the 3-0 win. He followed that up with a further 2 goals in the 4-0 win over Gateshead before ending the month with another goal in the 4-1 win over Wrexham
Score 6
Amadou Traore-Mcnamee made four appearances for Oxford this month out of a possible 6 games but has still yet to break his goal scoring duck for the club.
Score 0
Pundit
Well that went exactly as expected with Chris Owen one of the favourites for this competition hammering his way into the semi finals.
Goal Frenzy Quarter Final 2
Pundit
This match sees Joe Tompkins take on the only house robot to make it through the heats, remember if Panic Attack wins this battle then he will not nbe allowed to take part in the Semi Final, instead his opponent will be given a bye to the final.
Battle
Joe Tompkins didn’t recover from his injury this month and so made no appearances scoring no goals. He will however be back to action within the next three days so all is not lost.
Score 0
Panic Attack scored a goal in the first match of the month and started the next four matches picking up one further goal.
Score 2
Pundit
Well Panic Attack won this match although will not take a place in the semi final as he is a house robot instead the winner of the Sir Killalot vs Lucas Volman match will be given a bye through to the final.
Pundit
Well that is the end of the December show, join us next time for the January show with the Transfer window open and many of our players in the last 6months on there contract and so able to discuss with foreign clubs it promises to be a very interesting time. Hopefully we will also have a challenge for Dami in the challenge belt competition too
I'm very happy with knocking out the second favourite for the World Wars! and even happy that my opponent is currently injured! Should be a final for me then! Wish I'd predicted myself now! haha
Finally back from injury![]()
I hope Lucas Volman defeats Sir Killalot and then wins in the final
It wasn't you I was talking about, although you had an even better record as BSP top scorer so you could possibly say you are in the same boat, although as I have finished holidaying i couldn;t possibly speculate anymore due to knowing all the transfers that have happened. All I'm gonna say is at least four players have moved clubs including two to English champions league clubs where they are getting games, You will find out when these players are next in there competitions or if they are already out of everything when they enter a challenge belt or grudge match, or in the end of season update
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
Figured this is probably a good time to mention this, You May have noticed at the start of the season when the Schedule was released there was an event Called House Robot Rebellion which no one had the opportunity to enter, I will be contacting people over the next fortnight to take part in this event which takes place in May, You will be contacted via PM if you have been Chosen and will have to do something within a certain period of time to confirm your entry into this competition which will have a small amount of prize money. The people chosen to enter this will be chosen on the best players that have performed in the game and also regular posters in this thread , although the two robots who are contesting the World Wars Final will not be eligible as that is also taking place in may. Don't worry if you have not been chosen and you see others being chosen, people will be contacted in small groups about there entry spread out over the next two weeks so you may still get your chance.
Woo! Through my Quarter Final. Shame about the goal Frenzy, but well done Chip Butty![]()
In the next update you will see our first player earning over £100,000 a week
Screen shots are given out to players who win competitions, grudge matches or challenge belt matches, if you want a screen shot either challenge for the belt or a grudge match, or i think your player is still in at least one competition so you may get it if you win that
When will the next update be put up jim?![]()
ouch an injury =(
Pundit
Welcome to the January show, we don't have so many battles for you this month but we have some crackers in there, including a very impressive performance by one of the robots. Once again no one has challenged for the belt, hopefully that will change next month.
Gauntlet Quarter Final three
Pundit
The random number generator has once again thrown up the number 2 so we will be comparing the amount of goals scored. This is our final quarter final and after this we will know the line up of our Gauntlet Semi Finals.
Battle
Alesi Shotronne has still not made his debut for Palermo and is currently training with the U20s, although he has now picked up an injury which will keep him out for around two weeks. He has however been given a new contact until June 2013 with a slight pay rise he is now on £140 a week
Score 0
Chris Owen, well what can you say about this guy, he started the month at Newport County earning £600 a week and ended it at Tottenham on £105,000 a week. He had a poor start to the month by his standards rating in at 6.9 in the 3-1 win over York, before scoring three and rating in at 9.6 in the 3-1 win over Crawley in what would prove to be his last game at the club, on the 10th of January he moved to Tottenham for £425k, signing a contract for £105k a week. He left Newport with an outstanding record, scoring 38 goals in 26 games and picking up 16 Man of the match awards, 17 assists for his team mate and finishing with an average rating of 8.72. He wasn’t overawed in his new surroundings though, in his first Tottenham game he helped the side to a 5-0 win over scoring two goals and rating in at 9.5. He failed to score but still rated a 7.4 as the team drew with Liverpool before being ineledgible for the FA Cup clash against Arsenal which Spurs lost 5-0.
Score 5
Sam Flynn is still training with the u18s at Leeds and with his contract up ate the end of the season will really need to start trying to make his breakthrough at the club.
Score 0
Judges
Well outstanding by Chris Owen he flies through in first place, we feel that Alesi Shotronne deserves second place due to getting a new contract.
Pundit
Chris Owen is now the clear favourite for this tournament with that fantastic performance, Alesi will have to up his game to make the final as he really doesn’t deserve to have made it this far.
1) Chris Owen
2) Alesi Shotronne
Well that means the draw for the Semi finals is now complete
1) Sir Killalot Vs Dead Metal Vs Chris Owen
2) Chris Hatton Vs Mackemkillah Vs Alesi Shotronne
I can’t see anyone challenging Chris Owen Here
Goal Frenzy Quarter Final 3
Pundit
Gon Pereira will struggle here unless he makes a move as his season has finished, whereas Ishu will be looking to improve now his transfer has finally gone through.
Gon Pereira has just been moved down to the Derry City u18s although it is expected that this is just for the off season to keep his fitness up and he should be back amongst the first team. He has however been given a new contract until the end of December 2012 an extention of 6 months, with a pay increase he is now up to £130 a week.
Score 0
Ishu has completed his transfer to Lyon where he signed a contract worth £400 a week until June 2015. Despite being amongst the first team he is yet to make an appearance
Score 0
Judges
This was a tough decision for us to make, but in the end we felt we had to just give it too Gon Pereira who only failed to make an appearance as his season has ended.
Pundit
A boring match there but Gon Pereira progresses to the semi final, where he will have to improve as he’s up against the might of Chris Owen.
Goal Frenzy Quarter Final 4
Pundit
Both of these players have been getting game time so it could be a very close battle. Th winner will be given a bye to the final
Sir Killalot had a very poor month this time round, he was left out of the first game of the month against Leyton Orient, against Carlisle he came on too late too be given a rating and he was left out of the third game of the month against Swindon. After this he picked up an injury which will keep him out for the rest of the month
Score 0
Lucas Volman missed the first half of the month as his league observed a winter break, on his first game back though there was terrible look as he picked up an injury which will keep him out for a further two weeks.
Score 0
Judges
Another dull match but as Lucas Volman started a game we feel he has to progress
Pundit
The draw for the Semi Finals has now been made
1) Chris Owen vs Gon Pereira
2) Lucas Volman progresses
Pundit
Well thats it for the January Show, an impressive performance by Chris Owen there. So far no robots have confirmed there place in the House Robot Rebellion challenge, I would expect that to change in the next few days though as more invites start to be sent out, join us at 9pm on the 6th jan for the February Show
Wow, well done for Chris Owen. I wish I had some money so that I could bid for belt in order to hear what Chris Hatton was getting up to!
Wow, that's brilliant! Guess my player is going to be something of a big star in this thread!
Shotronne really doesn't deserve to be that highMade a huge mistake placing him in Palermo & spending big in the first season. Here's hoping I can grab some cash from the predictions for the next season.
Sloppyderek: Yeah pretty amazing really
5ergio: Yeah you had two bets on chris owen which as they were the first on him are double money bets so that should come off for you, I'm sure you'll be making our breakthrough soon though, either at Palermo or on loan next season maybe. Also with some new events being held next year i will be altering some of the pricing so there may be something on the cheaper end for you
Just to be clear to everyone, if you receive a pm regarding the house robot rebellion it should be posted in here and not responded to via pm

dami you have 24hours to check your pm's and respond in this thread
Dami accepts the challenge of Pussycat to a battle in the House Robot Rebellion.
Why do I think I can my robot can defeat Pussycat. We have the advantage since Midfielders usually cover the most ground during a season. The only problem I can see in this robot is the lack of a regular starting place in the team,maybe the manager will start playing him more often.
One more thing Pussycat is probably in dreamland if he thinks he can win this battle, Just ask Joe Tompkins how he felt after battling our robot for the challenge belt. Get ready, you're going to be pulverized Pussycat
thankyou dami
dami becomes the first robot to have his place confirmed in the house robot rebellion, keep watching this thread to see if any more will be confirmed and keep checking your inbox to see if you will receive an invite, Update tomorrow at 9pm you have until then to bid for a challenge belt or grudge match battle
Sam Fynn accepts the challenge of Hypno Disc to a battle in the House Robot Rebellion.
When interviewed,Sam said:I can win as i can play dirty,i can get all the cards i want to smash Hypno Disc into pieces.Hypno Disc is so lousy,he can't see it's back and get's flipped off easily.He's the easiest of all house robots!
coldkohmew is the next robot to have confirmed his place. Greenwhitearmy, Almundo check your pm's please.
Update coming tonight in just over an hour, any last minute bids to get a grudge match or challenge belt battle
Pundit
Welcome to the February Show, we have an amazing three semi finals coming up for you today, also following that we have a challenge for the belt, will Dami be able to hold onto it once again.
World Wars Semi Final One
Pundit
In the first Semi final we have a very interesting clash between Chip Butty and Armadou Traore-Mcnamee, Chip Butty would have been the favourite but will he still be able to perform now his loan deal at Wrexham has finished.
Battle
Chip Butty is now back at Sheffield United after his loan spell at Wrexham finished in January. Unfortunately for him though he is still out from the injury that he picked up way back in November and is still expected to be out for a further 11 days to 3 weeks, he will need to perform well when he comes back as he currently has no contract for next year.
Score 0
Armadou Traore-Mcnamee has negotiated to join a new club once his contract ends, next year he will be playing in the German first division for Dortmund. He was left out of Oxfords first match of the month as they beat Southport 3-1 but was restored to the starting line up for the draw with Accrington rating at 6.9. He also started the 1-0 wins over Torquay and Macclesfield where he rated at 6.6 and 6.7 respectively. In the final game of the month he scored a 6.5 as they beat Hereford.
Score 6.75
Pundit
That means Armadou takes his place in the final, very unlucky there for Chip Butty though
Gauntlet Semi Final One
Pundit
The random number generator has thrown up the number 3 for the first time so we will be comparing the amount of goals conceded by the team when in the side, as usual this will be done by an average so as not to unfairly penalise those who play games. This may have given the other two hope that they may make the final as this could be Chris Owens one weakness that they can capitalise on.
Battle
Sir Killalot has really fallen out of favour at Oldham recently; he was only picked in the teams’ squad of 18 once this month and then wasn’t allowed off the bench. He still hasn’t got a contract for next year and must surely be worrying about his future.
Score N/A
Dead Metal left Newcastle where he was stuck in the reserves in January, and joined Man City where he has been placed in the reserves, not getting any first team action. The transfer was for £2.2million and he now has a contract worth £950 a week until 2015.
Score N/A
Chris Owen scored the only goal as Tottenham lost 2-1 to Manchester City; he had a poor performance for him rating at 6.6 as they drew 1-1 against Aston Villa. That poor performance saw him dropped for the win over Stoke before being restored to the starting line up as they drew 0-0 with Inter Milan in the Champions League. In the final game of the month he scored the only goal in the 1-0 win over Wolves
Score: 1 per 120mins
Pundit
Well any hopes of a shock were messed up with Dead Metals and Sir Killalots terrible performance. Chris Owen despite peoples belief that this may be his weak spot performed amazingly to make his way into the final.
Goal Frenzy Semi Final One
Pundit
This competition seems to have been made for Chris Owen, the winner of this match will face Lucas Volman in the final and surely it has to be Chris Owen.
Battle
Chris Owen scored the only goal as Tottenham lost 2-1 to Manchester City; he had a poor performance for him rating at 6.6 as they drew 1-1 against Aston Villa. That poor performance saw him dropped for the win over Stoke before being restored to the starting line up as they drew 0-0 with Inter Milan in the Champions League. In the final game of the month he scored the only goal in the 1-0 win over Wolves
Score: 2
Gon Pereira stood no chance this month, he is still playing for Derry City in Ireland and so had no matches this month.
Score 0
Pundit
Well no surprises there, despite a poor haul of goals by his standards Chris Owen progresses to the final to take on Lucas Volman.
Challenge Belt Battle
Pundit
Well once again Joe Tompkins is challenging Dami for the belt, after being injured last time will he be able to perform to his best this time.
Battle
Joe Tompkins completed a £400k move to Swansea City in January; he now has £8750 a week until 2013. It looked like it was going to be another terrible Challenge belt bid as he missed Swansea’s first five games of the month with an injury he picked up in January shortly after completing his move. Luckily he recovered in time for the final game of the month where he scored two goals rating in at 8.9 as Swansea beat Leeds.
Score 8.9
Dami has signed a new contract at Wrexham with an extension of one year, and a pay rise to £325 a week. He started the 0-0 draw against Tamworth rating at 6.8; he was then rested for the FA Trophy clash as they crashed out to Corby. He was back in the side for the defeat to Fleetwood rating in at 7.0 but was dropped again as Wrexham lost to Altrincham before he was back in the side and rated 6.1 as they won 1-0 but dropped again for the draw with Darlington.
Score 6.63
Pundit
Well second time lucky for Joe Tompkins, he was lucky though as if the injury had lasted a couple of days longer he would have lost out to Dami once again. Whether Dami will have the guts to re-challenge for the belt is yet to be seen.
Pundit
Well thats the end of the February show, lets have a look at how this has affected the money table
1 ggrive £55,000

Glad to win the belt at last, hopefully my player can keep fit for a while now. Nice to get a move, and a good to start to life at Swansea, hopefully can keep up the good form as well
Next update is already written as its quite a short one,will be posted at 9pm on the 8th so you have until then to get in any bids for the challenge belt, or even maybe bid for the first ever grudge match, remember the grudge matches can be done either as 1 v 1 or as tag team matches if you can find yourself a partner.

When interviewed by the Serie C paper, Carrarese striker Chris Hatton said of the battle "I hope Panic Attack knows exactly what he has let himself in for by challenging me to this duel.

Sorry for no response. right now I found myself on the edge of poor grade and retire.
Maybe I can't come to look closely as I want.
Lucas Volman accepts the challenge of Fire Storm to a battle in the House Robot Rebellion.
"Fire Storm doesn't stand a chance, as soon as I'll enter the ring he will run away with his tail between his legs" said Volman in another interview with the Serie C paper, before following it up with: "I won't even have to be at my best to beat him, I know I can take on anyone right now and humiliate them!"
gonna have to put this on hold for a couple of weeks guys sorry, somethings come up
Ah well, I forgot about the Summer season thing. At least I'll have the upper hand come June and July, but with Derry demoting me to the under 18s I wonder...
Top work Jim and sorry for not visiting more regularly myself.
No problem Jim, look forward to its return
Looking forward to its return Jim, don't sweat it, you've done a lot already in this thread.
