Not a team I've ever seen managed before. Good luck at Almere.

This looks like some challenge.

The dream draw.

You ****ed that up royally in April. Cracking goal though.

Pre season We lose our best centre back Joe Robinson. He also scored double figures last season, thanks in the main to taking our penalties. He joins Hampton & Richmond Borough in National League South. We sign Sam Goode on loan from Cambridge United as his replacement. Elsewhere Ralph Hassenhuttl is the new manager of Arsenal, having taken Red Bull Leipzig to the Bundesliga title last season while Roberto Mancini is the new man in charge of Newcastle United.

2018 World Cup Hosts: Russia Holders: Germany GROUP STAGE The opening match saw hosts Russia beat South Korea 7-3. Despite this, both these teams were eliminated by Mexico and Switzerland. Portugal and Chile progressed from Group B unbeaten at the expense of Honduras and Czech Republic. France and Germany got through Group C as expected with Mali third and USA pointless. Belgium topped Group D. Croatia got through with 4 points with Australia and debutants Guinea going home. Uruguay and Wales qualified with 6 points each ahead of Romania and the winless Japan. Colombia and Spain progressed through a comfortable group containing Algeria and whipping boys Iran who lost 8-1 to Spain, 3-1 to Colombia and a shocking 9-2 defeat to Algeria. Cape Verde had a group of dreams in a group the others dreaded. They went home pointless and goalless, but emerged with far more credit than Iran did as Netherlands and Brazil put three past them and England four. Not too bad all things considered. The other three teams all finished on 5 points with all other matches drawn. The 2-2 draw between Brazil and England saw both teams through on goals scored with the two Netherlands games finishing 1-1. England topped the group courtesy of scoring one more goal against Cape Verde. The final group saw the only real shock as Argentina went home early behind Italy and Costa Rica. Egypt were pointless. Not one team won all three games. A first? SECOND ROUND Belgium, Italy and Spain all eliminated, while the real life final was played out in this round... Chile 0 Mexico 1e Switzerland 0 Portugal 1 France 2 Croatia 0 Belgium 1 Germany 4 Uruguay 2 Spain 0 Colombia 1 Wales 0 England 1 Costa Rica 0 Brazil 2 Italy 0 QUARTER FINALS None of the really big boys got knocked out, despite having some scares while England got hammered... Mexico 2 Germany 3 Portugal 1 France 1p Uruguay 0 Brazil 1 Colombia 5 England 2 SEMI FINALS A big surprise here... Germany 2 Colombia 3 France 2e Brazil 1 THIRD PLACE PLAYOFF Germany 4e Brazil 2 FINAL At Luzhniki in Moscow, we weren't treated to a footballing spectacle, more like a bit of a grind. A France win mirrors real life. Colombia 0 France 1

Awesome indeed.

Job done Jimbo.

Progressing very nicely in the Champions League.

You are serious contenders. You're top of the table past the halfway point.

Excellent season.

A very good but ultimately unlucky first season.

Wonderful progress. Same goes for AFC Telford.

I reckon he'll be buying some polish very soon.

Tremendous start.
