Ended up winning the title with Connahs Quay. Got knocked out as expected in the Euro II play-off round which meant our European run brought in about £1.25 million which allowed us to turn professional over the summer. Got £250,000 to spend in transfers, of which I spent all of £5,000 and dumped the rest into wages. As usual, had loads of trialists come in, agree terms then sign with English sides. Lost my best RB for £1,000 (but did manage to get a 50% sell on clause added in) to Fleetwood. The first few years in Wales is awful until you get the reputation boost that gives your players decent values.

Second season, managed to get enough deals done to strengthen the side, though did spend the first few league games with several unfit players started each game because incoming players were taking their sweet time making their minds up. Managed to make the Second Qualifying round in the Champions League before losing to Red Star. Then knocked out an Icelandic side to make the EURO Cup Play-offs where FC Kobenhavn beat us which dropped us in to EURO II Group Stages! Overall before the group stage starts, we've already made £3.3million in prize money (which apparently isn't enough to get the board to upgrade our facilities) to leave us with more than £4million in the bank. Got drawn with BATE, Legia and CSKA Moscow so we'll see how that goes.

So far it seems like an decent improvement over last years. Only put in a couple of hours so far. My usual beta save is TNS  but decided to go with Connahs Quay this year, who it turns out have quite a few former TNS players in their ranks (it stunned me how many TNS player names are now floating around my head thanks to afew years of beta saves).

Knocked out.of the Champions league in the first qualifying round against Liga 6-2. Knocked out a Luxembourg side and a Montenegro side to make the fourth qualifying round of the Europa Conference League where a Cypriot side awaits (at work so the names escape me). Usual Welsh preseason of identifying shed loads of trialists who I'd love to bring in only for English league one/two sides to snatch them. I at least managed to bring in a striker, central midfielder and a goalkeeper (where the starting situation was grim, two keepers, both 1.5 stars with no potential).

Also, was that you @stokeriño in lollujos video today as the featured channel member?

Bruce seems to be the new version of Gordon Strachan. Tactically useless and the fans know it but plays the "everyone was against me, never had a chance" card at every opportunity and his mates in the media nod their heads and talk about fans being "entitled".

Fair play, skittling India out for 78 and ending the first day 120-0 is a hell of a response from England. 

The Thunderbolts win their group!! But they pissed the qualifying last year too and then finished lower midtable so pinch of salt and all that

Root takes his first 5-fer! India 145 all out (lead of 33). Then England lose 2 wickets in the first 3 balls of their 2nd inning! This match is mad. Genuinely feel like setting India a target of 100-120 would make England slight favourites

Joe Root is a bit good at this cricket stuff isn't he? Sibley has had a good day so far as well but Root is having a great 2021 so far.

Still, my less optimistic side says a couple of quick wickets and India will end the day on top. 

2021 Winter Marble League is off and running!

Sheffield Wednesday sack Pulis after 10 games in charge

36 All Out! Hazelwood takes 5 for 8! Aussies need 90 to win

The Aussies aren't fucking about in this test against India. Trailing by 53 after the first innings, they have India 15/5 thus far.

Depends if he gets a penalty for going out on Bottas' tyres.

If Red Bull carry on with Albon next year over him, they should delete the team.

Apparently the rule is you get a penalty if you do more than 3 laps on the wrong tyres so he should avoid a penalty. 

Man City away, that takes care of any thought of a cup run this season

As someone who is red/green colourblind I really hope there is a way to switch back to the traditional percentages, otherwise it's going to be a nightmare for me 

Ilhan is totally carrying AOC in this round, AOC is running around panicking about being caught while Ilhan is getting kills done

I'm following her lead and ignoring the chat.

Race number 2 is up!

Sand Marble Rally is underway!

Wilson wins the first of the day, 10-8 now. Kryen needs to win this session 5-4 at least if he's going to win this.
