Time Flies when your having fun

So November & December pass without me finding time to update this blog, I have made notes several times but never got round to actually turning them into something meaning full, Cannot remember why i failed to update in November (old age showing) But December was definitely down to being a little bit over social.

Away from FML I'm either busy with work or on my ps3 (current game of choice is gran turismo 5) , which is quite enjoyable & not something i would normally go near (i am more a strategy man than a button presser). Its good fun & also is allowing me to unwind away from FML which at times can be quite demanding on your spare time.

Sanchez

In Gameworld Sanchez we have merged the CFA,TFA & VFA into 2 brand new themed FA's, The names on these are to be voted on each season & if the name is to be altered a secondary vote to be run to allow the users in each FA a control on how the FA shapes up going forward, This wasn't without its problems as assigning roughly 200 sides in the divisions they should be in based on previous performances made for a tough job & a very time consuming 1 (Cheers Ritchie & Martyn). December brought with it a the festive period but the way some user acted i feel they got visited by 3 ghosts in a hope of correcting these pessimistic & disruptive ways. 1 particular user chose to ignore these ghosts & carried on into the new year. It did result in a very tiresome new year period & i was actually glad to be returning to work. On the pitch my side is slipping, relegated from the Premiership & almost relegated from the Championship the following season, But a fine end of season rally resulted in me being safe for at least 1 more season, I do have quite a youngish side so i do hope with a couple of decent signings i may actually get back into the Premiership. On a plus note i do have quite a few very promising youths coming through that will eventually add some real quality to my senior side.

Ramos

442 or not 442 that is the question, I have stuck by this formation but others either play the 442 narrow diamond or the 4132 formation that seems to still be over dominant, Again like Sanchez my side is in a transitional period, But with a bit of cash about me & possibly just a DC & RB to find in the next pre season wage auctions i feel i do have the players about me if i can just get the tactic working slightly better than it currently does (Nunez 442 does need moving across).

Nunez

My side in here flatters to deceive considering the average age, I am really unsure how i manage to stay in the TFA Premiership each season, Yet now these young lads are really showing some improvements i honestly feel i can push on & secure a major trophy or 2, Since season 1 i have brought youngsters through from 15/16 to the senior side & it will now bear some fruit. My youth sides for most of the past few seasons had totally dominated the youth comps within the FA, Yet during the season that has just ended i only managed to win the u19 league & cup, I was there or there abouts in the other age groups but realistically just wasn't good enough. I did also win the uffa u19 gold cup.

Hopefully it wont be another 3 months between posts but who knows what life will throw at me next........
