What is this madness? We've had a poor month! 

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2023

We lost another game and we're 5 points behind De Tubanters 1897  Our GD is amazing but we're also in a 'crisis' 

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2023

There we go! We beat the league leaders 4-0 and now we're just 2 points behind them.

December 2023

3 big wins and we're rightly back at the top of the table, albeit by only one point for now. 

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2024

Just the one competitive game since we had one postponed due to a waterlogged pitch but we're now 4 clear with a game in hand!

We say goodbye to Wesley Wakker.

[DazRTaylor]

What a surname.  So close to a quite brilliant typo.

February 2024

Dropped points against Beerse Boys but two more great wins in the league and we scored 8 against Tubantia but couldn't find the net after the 47th minute.

We need just one more point to secure the title, up to the 5th tier we go!

"There's always next year?"

But surely, the Hoofdklasse has to prove at least some kind of struggle? You'll be up against my hometown team of EVV in the fourth tier if you make it out of the Hoofdklasse, and I'm sure they'll pose some kind of threat. Or at least, I hope so.

Next season, so far in the end of season meeting the players have been unhappy if I asked for anything less than the title, this year they've said they want to aim for top half.

[Makoto Nakamura]

2024/25 Pre-Season

A loss against Hollandia but a decent enough pre-season.

This is where we'll struggle, we're not even predicted in the top half any more!

And no-one joins us either.

October 2024

This could be another great season! I'm even more surprised about being top of the league due to only bringing in 8 players over the last 4 seasons and having 5 players from the youth system regularly starting for us (including Sjoerd van Ottele who's scored 12 in 12 so far!)

[Minuy600]

Achilles '29 are actually bankrupt IRL now. RIP them. That adventure in the Jupiler League didn't help 'em. Seems like the game felt that was coming and made them terrible.

Well, perhaps you'll struggle in the Derde Divisie

We're up against the Achilles '29 amateur team, the first team are doing pretty well and are 2nd in the Tweede Divisie and are currently having their best season since the career started.

November 2024

We lost against struggling Juliana '31 at home but other than that we've been perfect with lots of early goals finishing off our opposition and we're now 6 points clear!

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2024

We went down to 10 men after 13 minutes against 2nd placed IFC and we just couldn't get anything after that and we're now just 3 points clear.

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2025

We've slipped up  Despite getting just 1 point from 2 games we're still top of the league!

 

1 player in and 4 out, Henk could be really good, if only he were faster.

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2025

Back on some form with a late winner away to De Meern and a big home win over 4th placed VFC.

2024/25 Youth Candidates

3 players with 5* potential.

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2025

200 games and a new contract. 

A great win to relegate SVBO but then we drop points against Achilles '29 and with 5 games remaining we're just 2 points ahead...

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2025

2 big wins and we're 8 points clear with 3 left to play, it was great to beat SC Feyenoord with 7 of the starting 11 coming from our academy!

Due to the sheer number of sub-divisions and how slow it takes to process some days I'm removing the bottom 4 tiers of Dutch football, the number of players has also increased from 90,000ish to 144,000.

2025/26 Pre-Season

Perfect pre-season.  

Predicted dead last and look, we're in the KNVB Beker!

2 in and 5 out so far, we lost Adilio Tempo who made 110 appearances for us in his 5 and a bit seasons but was being edged out by Donny Jacobs last season and we lost promising striker Henk Nijhuis.

Finn is currently 3rd choice MC and Kay should be #1 GK once he's match fit and depending on how Donny Jacobs performs.
