Premier League - Final Table Arsenal were deserved winners, to be honest I'm not unhappy with our 3rd place finish, yes I wanted to defend the title but our overall stats are good and our finish to the season was superb (winning last 8 PL games). FA Cup Poor display in 3rd round replay against Manchester Utd. League Cup We suffered a surprise defeat to Leicester City in Quarter-Finals. Champions League Qualified from our group with ease and was able to make big changes in last game having already qualified for 2nd round. Home defeat proved costly as we suffered a narrow 3-2 aggregate defeat to Espanyol in the Quarter-Finals. ----------------------------------- Best Eleven - 2022/2023 Best Eleven - Overall Fans' Player of the Season - Josh Lambo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maw74 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 That is classic man took em all the way as far as the english leagues go, cool to see other teams in and out the top flight aswell.. gl with nigeria, qualifiers looking good Thanks. Admittedly I made my team too strong at the very start and it was probably easier than it should have been, but I think since getting to the PL we have overachieved, and now expectations are probably higher because of that. I've had a great start with Nigeria, not gonna give too much away but we still have a bit of work to do to qualify for the World Cup. I will get another update posted soon.

Maw74 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 SEASON 2023/2024 REVIEW Stopsley Utd enjoyed a very successful season lifting two trophies. The first trophy was secured with victory against Aston Villa in the penultimate Premier League game of the season. The triumph saw Stopsley claim the Premier League title for a second time. Stopsley Utd's League Cup campaign was very short, just one game which ended in a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the 3rd round. The FA Cup was a much better story. Stopsley made it to the final and claimed the trophy with a superb performance to beat Blackburn 4-1 at Wembley and secure a domestic double. Stopsley enjoyed a great run in the Champions League, they made it all the way to the final but suffered a tough loss agianst Real Madrid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SEASON 16 - 2024/2025 ----------------------------------- July 2024 Pre-Season Friendlies Freiburg 1 Stopsley Utd 9 FSV Frankfurt 0 Stopsley Utd 2 Bergisch Gladbach 0 Stopsley Utd 9 Sturm Graz 1 Stopsley Utd 1 Hoffenheim 1 Stopsley Utd 4 Dunstable 0 Stopsley Utd 5 Stopsley Utd 6 Las Rozas 0 Click for more details ---------------------------------------------------------------------- August 2024 Aston Villa 1 Stopsley Utd 0 Huddersfield Town 3 Stopsley Utd 3 Stopsley Utd 7 Crystal Palace 0 Sheffield Utd 0 Stopsley Utd 2 Stopsley Utd 2 Cardiff City 1 Click for more details ---------------------------------------------------------------------- September 2024 Nigeria 3 Zimbabwe 0 Click for more details Leicester City 2 Stopsley Utd 5 Sporting Braga 0 Stopsley Utd 5 Stopsley Utd 5 Burnley 0 Middlesbrough 0 Stopsley Utd 3 Stopsley Utd 1 Liverpool 0 Click for more details ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Premier League Table - Five teams remain unbeaten, Stopsley edge lead.

Stopsley Utd's Transfers "Marshall and Gonzalez will be first team regulars but Edwards & Nicholls are young strikers who I hope will develope into star players in the future." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maw74 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Season 16 - 2024/2025 ----- February, March & April FA Cup We suffered defeat in the FA Cup losing 3-2 on penalties to Huddersfield. Premier League Going well until a blip in March when we lost a seven goal thriller against West Ham. I was far from happy with the ref, three penalties against and our captain shown a straight red. That was followed by defeat to Arsenal, Harchester then snatched a late point before we then suffered a third defeat in four league games going down 1-0 away to Aston Villa. We were back to winning ways with a 4-0 win over Leeds and a 1-0 win against Blackburn. Man Utd were up next and we produced a superb display to thump them 5-0. Champions League We bounced back well and gave Bayern Munich a drubbing in the Champions League. That set up a Quarter-Final with Bordeaux and we progressed with a 4-2 win on aggregate. We faced an all English Semi-Final showdown with Arsenal and a good solid display saw us win the away leg 1-0. Our lead was increased 28 minutes into the second leg thanks to an own goal, the game proved to be a tense affair and with the score at 3-2 to us on aggrgate it was a nervy finish as a goal from Arsenal would see them trough on away goals. Thankfully our nerves were finally settled by Ryan Sobers and we won 3-2 on the night and 4-2 on aggregate. We will be up against Lazio in the Final after they defeated defending champions Real Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maw74 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Cracking read, just a quick question how was Palson in the top league?, ive got him in the reserves in my liverpool team just wondering if hes worth keeping around KUTGW Thanks. After our first season in the PL he did slowly become mainly back up due to new signings, but I would say he was a good player to have squad wise and could do a good job when needed as I think his stats show. Some recent manager news.... A bit harsh. He was replaced by Marcelino and they have since lost and also drew 4-4 after leading 4-1 at half time.

Maw74 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 STOPSLEY UTD Season 16 - 2024/2025 ----- May ----------------------------------- Aston Villa suffered back to back defeats against Man City and Man Utd so our 2-0 win over Everton secured the League title with two games to spare. The League campaign nearly ended in defeat but we salvaged a point coming back from two down against Chelsea at Chelsea Stadium (FM stadium names?). The very last game of the 2024/2025 season was the Champions League Final. We were up against Lazio, hoping we could improve on last seasons runners-up spot. Unfortunately we couldn't and yet again found ourselves defeated 2-0. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stopsley Utd --- 2024/2025 Best Eleven - Overall Best Eleven Fans' Player of the Year Graham Lewin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 We got off to a solid start against Algeria in the third round stage, but we came unstuck in a shock home defeat to Namibia, we bounced back with an easy win a few days later against Benin but it was only a friendly, we had tough games to come. We managed to grab a point with an 85th minute goal against Senegal, then we left it late against Namibia to gain revenge and take top spot, the winning goal coming in the second minute of injury time. Another draw against Senegal saw us go into the final game just two points ahead of Algeria. A draw would have been enough but two goals in the last eight minutes saw us qualify and make it look a bit more comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Season 17 - 2025/2026 --- July, August, September & October ----------------------------------- Staff News I was offered a contract extension which I gladly accepted. Details Now on £100,000 per week. News I forgot to mention last season, half way through Stopsley legend Javier Hernandez became my assistant manager. Info 1 - Info 2 - Career Stats ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We finally won the Community Shield beating Man Utd on penalties. Then we had an amazing start in the Premier League with a record win against Burnley. We continued in good form until Everton inflicted our first defeat. We also looked to be heading for a good win against Man City and led 3-0 but City left us shocked as they pegged us back in the last 20 minutes to gain a draw. The 3-0 defeat to Blackburn was our only really poor display, we were 2-0 down early on and never got going in the game, we bounced back well if a much changed team sealing comfortable progress to the next round of the League Cup. Transfers We smashed our transfer record to sign England international Jason Sercombe. I tried to sign him a couple of seasons ago but Napoli wanted £98m plus 2 of our players. Champions League Looking very good at the halfway stage of the group, a 100% record and victory in our next game should secure a place in the next round. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to see anymore screenshots just ask.

Maw74 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Season 17 - 2025/2026 --- November & December We wrapped up qualification for the next round of the Champions League with two games to spare, so I was able to rest players and give some young players experience in European football, also our captain Graham Lewin picked up a booking in the fifth game and that saw him recieve a one game ban for reaching the limit. That was handy for us because he would serve that ban in our last group game and he would then be available for the knockout stage first leg game. We finished with a 100% record and the final group game saw 16 year old Phil Denton make his debut and he took just 30 minutes to get his first goal for the club. 17 year old Terry Edwards who we signed from Portsmouth for £1m was also on the scoresheet. We will face Ajax in the next round. We were top of the table and on a fine unbeaten run until we made the trip to Anfield to play second placed Liverpool, we suffered a heavy defeat as Neil Liversedge (3) and Luc Castaignos (2) ran us ragged, Liversedge even missed a pen. We regained top spot when Liverpool lost 1-0 to Harchester and we trounced Man Utd. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nigeria - African Cup and World Cup Nigeria have been drawn in Group B of the African Cup of Nations. We will face Guinea, South Africa and Zambia. In the World Cup we are drawn in Group C with Croatia, Serbia and Uruguay. We have also agreed to play a friendly away against Seychelles in April 2026. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Match 1 Guinea 2 Nigeria 3 We made hard work of it but off to a winning start. Match 2 Nigeria 1 Zambia 2 Caught out either side of halftime, left with a tough game to get through. Match 3 Nigeria 4 South Africa 0 We needed a big result and we got it. Quarter-Final Nigeria 1 Ivory Coast 1 We should have won in normal time, but we were hanging on towards the end of extra-time, maybe tired legs cost us in the shoot-out. Nigerian FA consider my future and decide to keep me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Season 17 - 2025/2026 --- January & February A couple of league defeats in January saw us slip 10pts behind Liverpool. We are now on a run of 10 games unbeaten in all comps and with 6 wins and a draw in the league we have closed the gap with Liverpool to just 4pts, with 10 games to go it's going to be a good battle for the title. We will face Man City in the League Cup final in March after a comfortable win over Fulham. We are also looking good in the FA Cup with a quarter-final against Harchester to come. In the Champions League we hold a good advantage over Ajax and should safely progress through to the next round, so as things stand we still have a chance to win 5 trophies. Transfer Update - 3 more players join Stopsley Utd. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Our next match is the League Cup Final against Manchester City. Here is our record so far on FM ................................ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Season 17 - 2025/2026 --- March & April The League Cup final ended in disappointment as Man City net late winner. That started a bad spell for us as we then slipped to a surprise league defeat to West Brom in the next game and we followed that with yet another defeat, going out of the FA Cup to Harchester Utd. We completed a fine 5-0 aggregate win over Ajax in the Champions League but then we lost another league game, we took a 2-0 lead against Villa but 2 goals in the last 6 minutes saw comeback to win 3-2. The league results improved again and we closed Liverpool's lead to just 1 point with 3 games to go, It's all set up for a tense finish. We managed a good solid 5-2 aggregate win over Real Madrid to book our place in the Chamions League Semi-Finals. However the 1st leg turned into a nightmare and we have a mountain to climb in the 2nd after losing 5-1 to Bayern Munich. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Remaining Fixtures Didn't finish April for this update because it leaves it in an interesting position with drama to come, anyway I'm not being a big tease because I'm not holding back the results, I haven't played them yet. So next up is a massive game with Liverpool, it could decide who will be champions, we can't afford to lose because we would then need a miracle. Then we have the 2nd leg against Bayern and well yeah we need a miracle in that game, gutted about the 1st leg but well we did do the same thing to them last season, could we repeat that? we will give it a good go that's for sure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maw74 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Season 17 - 2025/2026 --- April & May A very late penalty gave us a 2-1 win against Liverpool and advantage in the title race. We followed that with big win against Man Utd so we went into the final game knowing that a draw would be enough to clinch the Premier League title. Fulham made it tough but with the score locked at 1-1 we received news that Liverpool were losing 3-1 to Leeds Utd so even if Fulham could have beaten us we would still be champions, goals in the 85th and 90th minutes saw us to a 3-1 win and our third title in a row. Chelsea went into the last game of the season in the relegation zone but a 3-1 over Stoke City saw them survive by the skin of their teeth. If the drama in the Premier League wasn't exciting enough we had more to come in the Champions League and we had a big mountain to climb after losing 5-1 to Bayern Munich in the 1st leg. We got an early boost in the 2nd leg, Bayern found themselves down to 10 men after just 7 minutes. We were 2-0 up at halftime and the comeback was on, three more goals in the 2nd half saw us complete an amazing comeback to triumph 6-5 on aggregate. So we were into our third final in three years and we were hoping to make it third time lucky, our opponents were Arsenal and game took place at Ibrox Stadium. It didn't start well and we behind after just 5 minutes, Ryan Sobers levelled just before halftime, but just 7 minutes into the 2nd half we were down to 10 men. The game went to extra-time and we won a penalty, but after Lewin was sent-off I forgot to check/change who was taking them, up stepped Vasilis Matsos. He wouldn't have been my choice so I sat and wathed expecting the worst but he kept his cool and slotted the ball home and we led 2-1 with 20 mins to go. The clock was approaching 120 minutes and it looked like we would be Champions of Europe, but no a lapse in the centre of our defence saw Turner go through on goal to take the game to the dreaded penalty shoot-out. It proved to be heartbreak again for Stopsley Utd, we failed with 3 attempts and Arsenal triumphed 3-0. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cup Winners & Awards ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stopsley Utd Best Eleven (Season) - Best Eleven (Overall) Fans' Player of the Season - Graham Lewin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
