Season 24 week 13 processing...

and whistles start to be blown as games end ...

Atletico 1 Barcelona 4 Nobrega on 91 minutes.

I don't believe it but we've had an eighth goal at Maine Road...

Robinho has saved the day for the home side to level matters off at

Man City 4 Fulham 4

just as the full time whistle blows and player's slump to the turf with exhaustion or relief.

and that's it for another incredibly exciting week of league action...

plenty of goals this week as the managed teams should now be fully trained up, with the reality teams not far behind them, now it may well be a matter of who can manage their teams stamina best of all in the run in, and maybe some of you should look to giving your team more rest and recouperation in the training routine from here until the end of the season.

I'm gonna grab some lunch and then I'll be back with the roundup.

That was very weird, being in the office and watching it all go through, shoulda won against ten men though, I want a inquiry lol. And I hate Skrtel just for the record.

Something tells me there'll be some tears in rural east Nottinghamshire this afternoon..

I don't know what to make of that.

Meant to have shut up shop, but to score 4 away with 10 men is pretty good, shame we couldn't hang on but what an effort from the players, 

Inquest into when scoring 4 goals not a single striker managed to get in the scoresheet, just hope for their sakes they were creating them

Why do I have the feeling I'm going to have a season in the Championship to try and work out a system that works and doesnt soley rely on a moody frenchman to catch fire every week.

Wow! What a week. Fantastic result for both teams!

Just managed to catch up while the daughter has lunch! Some great games this week, very happy with barca's and flamengo's results. Llorente just can't stop scoring, one of the main reasons Lewandowski hasn't made his way over from flamengo yet, good to see wee man Alba managed to score with his head, must be a short defence at atletico!

Flamengo flying at the moment but santos seem to be improving quickly, will be an interesting run in!

atm looks like I wont have time to do a results roundup am going to go ahead and run the transfers, training and finances and then see how I go. I will post up the cup results shortly though.

The holders crash out! 

Not a good season in the cup competitions for Charlton. Possibly didn't pay enough respect to Blackpool when picking my side. Fringe players need to seriously look at themselves!

Good league wins for both sides, Nantes continue to fight on all 3 fronts.

Finished all the processing, might get time later tonite to send out the turns.

Printing done & Email turns sentout.

Thanks Paul all received. Can anyone answer why Man United bought Douglas Costa and Taison btw given they can't play in England?

Also Paul - I have Birmingham's squad sheet sent through for my Euro game but should be playing Barcelona I think? Might you send through their scout report? I guess this might be the same for all teams playing in Europe?

Also noticed that Gary Medel didn't move to Leicester on loan despite being a Cardiff player in real life, might you take a look please?

Leicester didnt confirm the Medel deal after I flagged him as PIE.

apologies for the wrong scout report this always seems to happen the week after the group stages have finished, and there I was thinking I'd solved that issue. I'll try again but its easter weekend this week so im not sure if I'll get the time. I'll try though.

Thanks Paul. If not , is there a way of letting us know what system they previous played, for all of us?

Ive started to organise myself to email you all the correct scout report. Should be in your email later today.

Okay all midweek scout reports on your next opponents have been sent out. They do have the same file name as your normal files.

Couldn't find any obvious errors in the coding for the end of the group stages so I've deleted it all and coded a fresh section, hopefully that will eliminate this issue for good now.   

Thanks Paul and have a great Easter!

You too Ben. Enjoy.

Will the deadline be staying the same Paul, as I guess we won't be getting our turn sheets until Wednesday probably due to the bank holidays?

I'm gonna leave the deadline as it is, but if you don't get your order sheets in time feel free to email or im me with the orders.
