Unlucky Hercule! You had Chelsea sweating there for a while. If it wasn't for Andy Selva's sublime strike you would be on top of the pile right now.

San Marino were given a football lesson by Athletic Club as they were hammered 9 - 1 in their Friendly fixture.
Selva was on the scoresheet for his side.

The San Marino "Challenge" :

Rank | Team | Score | GD | Last goal
1 | Chelsea | 9 - 0 | 9 | 82
2 | Athletic Bilbao | 9 - 1 | 8 | 75
3 | Napoli | 8 - 0 | 8 | 86
4 | Lazio | 7 - 0 | 7 | 85
5 | Sunderland | 7 - 0 | 7 | 86
6 | Benfica | 7 - 0 | 7 | 88
7 | FC Porto | 6 - 0 | 6 | 77
8 | Juventus | 6 - 1 | 5 | 85
9 | Udinese | 4 - 0 | 4 | 86
10 | Zenit | 4 - 1 | 3 | 77
11 | AS Roma (unmanaged) | 4 - 1 | 3 | 89
12 | Dynamo Kiev | 3 - 0 | 3 | 38
13 | Everton | 3 - 0 | 3 | 79
14 | Tottenham | 3 - 0 | 3 | 89
15 | Espanyol | 3 - 1 | 2 | 83
16 | Aston Villa | 3 - 1 | 2 | 87
17 | PSG | 2 - 0 | 2 | 59

In order of precedence, teams shall be separated by:
1. Goal Difference.
2. Goals Scored.
3. Earliest time for the last goal scored.

Can Atletico turn around the exact scenario he lost the league to last season (think it was Atletico....)

Not sure, will be interesting to see!!

Pretty sure I can only go up.

KERSPLAT!

eh i dunno

Lost 3-2 and miss out on the playoffs after being top after 20 games. Miserable second half of the season. Time to build a new team at the villa

JamboMac

Finished in 6th not bad for coming up from div2 lost to Everton 2-1, sirigiu aka (butterfingers) costing me dearly.

TheGunns

Still in Div1! Great 2nd half of the season after being rock bottom at various points hopefully able to build on next season but I expect it to be tough once again

gerp99

Rage quit could be imminent

****ing game

JamboMac

Congrate bayern and commiserations to those relegated.

KERSPLAT!

Delighted with that. Things went a bit off when Neuer and Schwein left but we pulled it back.

Unlucky Atletico and Madrid, it was a close run in. Barca too just falling away at the end.

Sad to see City go down but I'm sure he'll be straight back up.

Congrats to all the other promoted teams and those in the play-offs

richieffff

Of course I lose the team in last, after a 10-0 home win...

GT_TDI_150

As I had already beaten relegation candidates City and Napoli I felt a little guilty 'only' managing a draw against the other team in the mix.

The match ended 1 - 1 between FC Porto and Ajax in their Division 1 fixture.
Nainggolan scored the only goal for FC Porto and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.

Thankfully (unfortunately for city) my draw had no effect on the final table standings.

Finished 15th ... my worst final league positions

Colemania

After a great start to the season followed by my worst ever run of games in all my gameworlds, I managed to sneak up from 11th to 7th with a 3-2 win in my final game.

Happy with that after winning division 3 last year

mackeire

At the start of the season, Moscow would have been favorites for relegation. We've only gone and got bloody promoted!!!

Joined you getting up last year, joining you staying up this year. Comfortable in the end considering I was in and around the bottom for the most part.

Comic Book Guy

Malaga's 2nd string perfectly replicate the first teams season with 13 shots on target to Boca's 8 but manage to lose 2 0.
We finish in 4th, giving us a tough play-off tie with Genoa. Beat them once and drew the return tie in the regular season so fully expect the scales to be balanced soon enough! :rolleyes:

Congrats to Bayern on the title win and to Spartak and Olympiacos on promotion.
Commiserations to the lads that went down, the new season won't be long rolling around to set the record straight!

It was brilliant to see all 3 promoted clubs stay up this year in div 1. 6th place was a great result for you.

Next year division 1 champion is the goal.

how do you know your playoff opponents?

T0001

US Palermo slumped to a 2 - 0 defeat against Zenit in their Division 2 fixture.

I guess thats what I get for giving guys a run! But still managed to win Division 2 and get promotion to the Top Flight for next season, right where we want to be!!! Looking forward to a challenging, competitive and enjoyable first season in Div.1 for Palermo!! Long overdue me thinks!!

A weaker Flamengo team got back to back promotions whilst a much stronger one got back to back relegations whilst said weaker Flamengo won the shield



Congrats to those on securing their titles today though

tupac_healy

With nothing to play for I was toying with the idea of just playing youths in order to make inroads on concerns.... Remembering that Ajax played a weak team last game of last season and it directly affected me, but I said beforehand that I would not blame Ajax... I didn't complain at the time and I still think Ajax was 100% right to do what he did...

You may ask where this is going....


In the interest of fairness I played a strong team against Sunderland ('grats by the way bear!!!!) Lost, don't care about that, BUT one last kick right in the testicles from SM this season...

Laporte suspended for 3 games....


Morel of the story, stick to your principals, should have played the youths..... FK this stupid ads game!!!! Grrrrrrr


Rant over, congrats Bayern and the rest that went up/playoffs.... Unluck to the lads that went down especially Ger, take it on the chin bud and walk this next season!


Thank God that season is over

GT_TDI_150

GER!

Here's a reason for you to try and get some motivation for next season:

This is what Barca and Chelsea won D2 with a few seasons back, and what Newcastle got automatic promotion with...

Pos|Team| P| W| D| L| GF| GA| GD| Pts
1|Barcelona(C)| 38| 23| 9| 6| 105| 53| 52| 78
1|Chelsea(C)| 38| 25| 8| 5| 97| 46| 51| 83
2|Newcastle United(P)| 38| 22| 11| 5| 69| 36| 33| 77

Think you got whot it takes to better those W, L, GF, GA, GD and Pts totals?

Leverkusen in the P/Os again

I really feel for you man - surely signing Tevez, who was an absolute beast for me, should have seen you over the line
