Well done John, poor game and poor tactics from me, that's what i get for trying something different. Penalty shoutout was a shambles. Oh well no treble in my last season

A boring game which was decide by pentalties which could have been anyone’s!
On to the semi’s which will be either Aberdeen, Marseille or Santos all hard games but hopefully I’ll make the final with concentration all on the Cup as League relegation seems highly likely even with the mini fight back!

Boring Boring Boring, what started off as four exciting matches ended up being some of the worst match reports ive read ever, three Long Ball Games, D tactic by myself and five clubs playing 5 at the back, the price we are all paying now for not wanting to loose at all costs, lottery with the penalties so could have been looking at a completely different set of four teams in the SF
i knew Osasuna would play L so looking at the tactics table D got a bonus all be it via a DF one, but we took that path anyway as i didnt want to go out two cups in the same week
can only hope the SF matches are more open with some entertaining football

The negative football reflects the mood of the game.
Constant flaming in the forums make people negative, when one team has success doing it then others copy.
Downwards spiral

The tactics we are seeing from some teams reflect the real life approach.
If I go out all guns blazing away at Osasuna am I gonna pick up the win - unlikely. If I can get draws away from home against the better squads it could mean a league place or two higher so worth it.

Just because most teams are playing defensively - don't put everyone in the same pot - some of us still go out to win every week and not resort to D @ 1-0 up ( even though Garfy did to his downfall )
Top of the league clash Santos v Real still had 14 v 10 shots - both teams out to win !!!
Shame we were matched together !!!

Downwards spiral The forum is pretty civil these days Garfy, negative football reflects the mood of the game ? Nonsense, the low participation levels of people playing the game reflects the mood of the game.
