Terribly dull second half at Richmond Park, there.

The idiots had a scare at half time there, after missing plenty chances in the first half. We aren't used to letting in goals.

Champions! And one game left - a big one mind. Glad to see Cardiff showing us respect to help them get back on form.

Ah balls

Nice to know though that the game automatically subs out one of your outfield players when your goalie gets sent off.

Well done beachcombers.

I'm getting a little worried about 1927 being as hot as they are.

I'd find it hilarious if 1927 did sneak past you and keep the title in Cardiff for another season.

dglh, you did realise the friendly request was to play your u11 side? No way we'll beat your firsts at the moment.

I have a 100% league record to upkeep. No way any of my key players will be playing. Saving them for Oxford Nil so I can set a record in the bottom league.

We're ready for you (in a quivering in our boots kind of way)

How the fuck did I win that?

anyone had any weird, pointless events?

At a party Aryeh Huniu hears about the Guinness record for sitting the longest time up in a tree. The person who holds the current record climbed up a tree back in 1968 and is still up there. Despite this the player gets it into his head that he can beat the record and climbs up the nearest apple tree. However after just a few hours he has sobered up and climbs down again.

No form change, no injury - just random nonsense!

The Vicars are limping pathetically over the line at the moment.

Still, they're a young team and can only improve etc etc

General disclaimer: I actually won a 3-month VIP from a contest in another private league. I did not buy one in a vain attempt to arm myself with additional stats to somehow hold of 1927's surge, though it certainly looks like it.

If desired, for the sake of showing no self-favoritism, I'll purchase a 3-month VIP for the team (in any division) that scores the most goals in the league this year. Comments? Complaints?

I don't think it's necessary, but I'd have no problem with you choosing to do so.

What do you reckon to the VIP extras? Do they enhance the experience?

to be honest, I haven't really had a chance to look at them much. The only one that looked quite handy was being able to see how much match experience each player had on one page. (Instead of having to look at each one.)

It might help me with using my other team. I will keep a beady eye on high-scoring games in the bonus matches in OTF, but at the moment it seems good to me!

Not that I am biased, with 14 goals on the best OTF team (with 4/5 games to go) and 4 on the Dodgers going into the final match.

Though Oxford Nil are a bit good.

Alright, these are the teams that look likely to have a chance at the "first-ever-VIP-award" in the OTF league.

OTF:
1927 - 28
Underdogs of War - 27

Division 1:
Mortlake Dodgers - 38
Knights who say Ni - 36
Steaua Bridge - 33
Preperation Heffron - 32

Division 2:
East Village Idiots - 42
Oxford Nil - 31

Although the OTF plays 2 extra games, I still think this competition is fair since the two OTF teams don't have a chance in hell of getting close to the Idiots.

How about giving it to the lowest scoring active team, I mean, they'll obviously need it more than the rest.
