The Dagger Report

First we head over to the Daggers Training pitch this week to speak to First Team Coach Swiss Toni. I had to drop Pardo this week...we were on a 14 match losing streak and with Berg on the bench counting his 40k a week it was time to get him on the pitch. With our First AEFA D1 match of this week against a tough bob the badger line-up the daggers were back in form with a cracking 4-1 win, followed by a respectable 1-1 draw with the brudsals magicians. This was followed by back to back game against the jelly babies, honours even a 1-0 win at home and a 2-0 defeat away which was followed by another 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bayern munich. The League campaign was back into it stride with a 1-0 win against Ventotene FC before 1-1 draw and a 1-0 defeat finished this week's AEFA D1 for the daggers, we are currently sitting 2nd in the League after 2 cracking wins over Elmo live posting 7 goals in to games against the lacklustre Jon Harrod`s Live team. But having played many more games than the rest, mid-table safety looks like being on the cards for the daggers...maybe a cup run will lift the spirits on the Training pitch this next week after an Aggregate win to reach round 3 of the NON prem cup! SO Toni`s first week back....bit of a mixed bag really...heres a tip...don't keep changing ur tactics!!!

With the World Snooker Championships in full swing this week and Stephen Hendry on the comeback trail we take a look at what the London Paper has to say on the one time Scottish Maersto of the green baize.

5 Ways to make Stephen Hendry more maraketable:

5: Hire Rafeal Benitez as your defensive coach

4: As a Homage to bullseye turn and ask the audience wether he should "gamble" or "play safe"

3: Did somebody say re-record "snooker loopy" as a power ballad? I believe they did

2: SCREAM "Im seven times world champion bitch" everytime he makes a tricky shot

1: Knock up the simply adorable Susan Boyle from Britains Got Talent

Stephen Hendry backed modern snooker this week by saying "the likes of Alex Higgins pissing in his plant pots and headbutting officials" having seen some of the snooker this week i cant think of anything id like watching more!

Liverpool fans will feel like classic matches are like London buses. You wait for ages for 1 to come along and 2 come along at once....any you come away feeling you`ve been savagely mugged.

Steven Gerard was a guest pundit this week for sky sports during the draw with Arsenal. He was erudite, insightfull and never once bought things back to himself. Andy Gray apologised and promised normal service would be resumed

Arsene Wenger this week said that Adebayor missed the Liverpool match this week due to a re-currence of `tiredness` He could also be a doubt for the weekend because of a recurrence of wingers size 11 up his backside...he must have been to one of diccons motivational seminars!

David Beckham wants to beat malaria. For a man who has never beaten a full back, i don't fancy his chances.

And finally Roy Keane is in at Ipswich and one well wisher was pleased "im thrilled to see him back in day-day management" barked roy`s tired dog Triggs!

So to another week in the Blisett gameworld..is there a hint of boredom setting in? Im not sure our heart is in it at the moment...i know what it is though...its British Summer time!!! Thats what it is...the world is all sitting outside on street cafe`s drinking Rumanian ruisling or a cheeky magners in a pint glass with ice!! Or is everyone `s Panini sticker album falling apart because they cant get that last gold badge cos the kids wont do swopsies in the playground...with the Agurro saga laid to rest in the history books ..will we ever see that elusive youth from Dublin hearts break the 1m barrier...have you all got your Juding potential skill yet?? If not just find out who`s bidding for all the potential superstars..then you don't need it...im pointing my finger at the welsh for this one!!

Louis Balfour im happy to report has settled nicely into his new role at our sister club in another world away...His name was cleared by the powers that be..which is niiiiiiiiceeee!!

Have a Good Week

The Final Whistle 17-04-2009

The Final Whistle 17.04.2009
Is this week sponsored by Britain’s Next Top Male Model

In this week’s edition:

Louis Balfour Leaves the Daggers...Sacking exclusive
The Daggers Start to the season...Berg hasn’t started well..40k wages..Expensive? Hell yeh!
The world Shudders at the Arrival of Aiden Parry.

Diccon Brown..coaching tips exclusive

Fashion tips from Brad and Rich in the Lobby..Plimsolls or roll necks? We have the answers

Our usual Dip into Real Life Football funnies-This week from the free London Paper

The Worst Players in the World...We have them for you right here

But we start this week with an exclusive insight into the sacking of Daggers first team coach Louis Balfour who has not been seen since his sacking from the Chat helper team just a few days ago. I managed to catch up with Louis in his club last night...he is not a happy man and has vowed to return to Football coaching when the right opportunity arises..He has been offered a youth team role at the Daggers Sister Club Dagenham and Romford United. After our 3rd Round of shots and a few jazz tunes later he revealed to me that he had bumped into a Director of the UFFA board in the back corridors of Blisett, late one Monday evening....He was a new member of the Board and Louis wasn’t sure that bringing a stranger into the boardroom was a good idea..We like our talent home grown he told me...anyway after we had nearly wiped out the optics he also revealed to me that his Contract details and Picture had been altered overnight...he was outraged! ! It was like someone taking your PIN number and helping themselves to your bank account. Louis has taken his case to the board of FML in hope of some recompense. But for now Louis will be in the Jazz club every night unearthing young talent...niiiiiiiice! (I need some 16 yr olds for the youth Louis!

The Daggers Start to the Season in D1 or AEFA got off to a terrible start with the PARDO-BERG partnership not firing on all cylinders..so the coaching team at the daggers reverted back to 1 up front and Berg was dropped to the bench..Our firs t game of the new season was in the Non Prem cup and all started well a 5-2 win against Div 2 Soccer Kings with Pardo and Berg both scoring..but it all went wrong after this and we with our First League games against Tom Weirs Kids a 1-1 draw which we were happy with..a point on the board...we then suffered 3 home 1-0 losses to WKS Grunwald and Morose Maruaders and a poor performance away from home lead to another defeat..2-1 at the hands of Bayern Munich..after a Draw and a Win in our next games...the Season turned...we managed to avenge the defeat against WKS by beating them 5-2 back at the Kettering Lane Arena...then it got even better as we hammered 6 past the Bandits over 2 games..3-0 and 3-1..then a last min defeat to Tom`s hearts again a couple of indifferent results against Blantyre Celtic and we finish the first part of the season top of D1 but having played twice as many games..There are 14 managers yet to play so defeating the AI engine will be the key to success for many of us in AEFA D1 This season.

A New breed of manager transfers in..

It was late evening and the lobby was quite...the wind was blowing in the trees, small animals were preparing for an evening of scavenging of the bins, small children and women were sleeping peacefully upstairs..the kettle was on and a packet of biscuits sat innocently on the desk...then after dipping a garibaldi into the late night cuppa..I looked up and a shudder of universal shuddering happened...the Monitor flickered...the Hard drive almost gave up and the DVD drive ejected a disk for no apparent reason.

AIDEN PARRY had entered the Blisett game world.....

Bradley "Real Manager Award Winner 2009” says: (22:59:17)
You dont want young guys being in charge of your destiny
Diccon Brown: says: (22:59:24)
shudder
Kev `CHAT HELPER BALFOUR! NIiiiiice` Flack.: (23:02:26)
*dark clouds form*
Diccon Brown: says: (23:07:31)
Its ok kev it's not actually happened. There are no beasts rising from where the world has split open, no four horsemen of the apocalypse and the AI is still giving Bradley a shoeing so the world is all as it should be
Diccon...it has happened...the PARRY has landed!!! Be afraid..be very afraid...well unless your Molloy..who`s scared of no one. Who was quoted as saying “who is this Aiden Muppet anyway”.

This weeks Top Training tips with Diccon Brown,

Diccon Brown: (17:24:14)
I am shocked and disappointed... Hermosilla is a great wet lettuce, Your coaching staff have indicated that tenacious Paraguayan midfielder
spurred on by your cutting edge coaching, has been showing remarkable improvements recently.Their report went on to indicate they feel that the player is nowhere near ready for regular first team football and although his development is an encouraging sign for the future throwing him in at the deep end like this may damage his confidence and hamper his development.
Kev `Swiss Toni` Flack: (17:24:36) u bully diccon!
Diccon Brown: (17:25:24) Just because I share coaching tips with the trainer from dodgeballl what of it!!
Diccon Brown says: (17:27:33)
I'll just have to see if Juan Fernández Guillermo González Santos fancy taking his place in the first team to stop him getting his nappy wet!!

Next week..how to motivate your team...with `motivational lectures from Diccon`s motivational manual`.

The Final Whistle 10-04-2009

The Final Whistle ( No sponsor for this week)

TFW this week is written in memory of Vinnie Lavezzi, who has hung up his keyboard and mouse and decided to leave Blisett. We will miss his ranting. Blank Armband time.

Pre-season week, always a bit of a let down, wage auction chaos, poaching, transfer rumours, swap deals, ranting about playoffs and not getting emails Burak Akin: says: (19:50:10)
“i make my compliment about that playoff case... I am saying again that there is no such mail as you claimed in my all of the mailboxes... NOBODY HAVE TO RIGHT TO FORCE ME OUT OF PLAYOFFS... I won that right in season” yeh ok mate! Thanks for the `compliment` though!

...then there’s Pre-season warm up leagues and competitions...i organised the PRITT STICK league...sadly not enough have entered at the moment to get it going...
How did the Daggers Fair...well we finished 12th in D1B which considering half the team were youth i was very happy...any new signings for the Daggers? Just the one major wage auction...breaking the strict wage policy and paying 40k wages for Marcus Berg...not as crazy as some...one manager paid 50k wages...apparently he also gave him a new pair of boots, membership to the local Witham town health spar and a lunch voucher for the local harvester...i don’t know these footballers these days as if 50k wasn’t enough!

The sega goody bag arrived this week and to my wife’s amusement included along with a copy of FM09 and various other sega merchandise was a SEGA lip balm...after discussing the said Lip Balm with Paul walker I’m seriously worried about some of you Scottish lads..Maybe its the water up there...but...

can i have the lip balm?
Paul "EEFA org" Walker: says: (21:05:29)
ill gee u a kiss
You have been warned people.

AROUND THE WORLD

Being as the Blog will be appearing on the FML main site soon i thought id take a look round the blisset gameworld..bit like looking into the next store neighbours bedroom window..you see allsorts of shanigans going on....theres even some sibling rivalry going down. Now i have to becarefull here for legal reasons at it involves a 600k fine for 1 of 2 brothers who are in the Blisett gameworld. Ross Allen and Graeme Allen..managed to produce a cracking game where Allan`s Eleven won away from home..7-1!! Do you think they changed bedrooms..Home and away dressing room? I heard that ladbrookes were taking bit bets on there being more than 6 goals...so FML is not only full of good football its true to life with fines for teams, illegal betting scandals and discruntled managers being hauled before the board of mods and served with 600k fines...take the 5th is my advice!

I received a message from a source that i would not like to uncover...about bribery...he told me that a certain welsh manager had offered him cash+sheep for PATO...shocking revelations..

David Dickinson’s Real deals is now alive in the Market Place

Mr Wiggles: says: (09:53:47)
Harald Pinxten:player#200501?1402441434 cheap as chips
Kev `Football manager live..niiiiceee! Flack.:user#638> says: (09:55:16)
ITs like David Dickinson’s real deals in here!
Diccon Brown: says: (09:55:58)
Gets out the creosote and applies to face... Eliabe:player#19037258?2182328552 pacey 1 in 2 20yo striker (not bad as a lone striker). Just have too many young strikers.



END OF SEASON MANAGERS AWARDS

Because of the debacle of 2 in-active managers winning awards...I decided to set up a managers managers of the year award and im delighted to say Brad won this...he`s a good lad that one..there were a total of 22 votes..brad with 7 and myself with Tom Weir with 4 a piece.

Resident funny man..Diccon Brown had this to comment on the subject
Diccon Brown says: (08:54:36)
REAL not stupid AI fixed managers manger of the season that doesn't go to some bloke that signed up but never pplayed a singal game probably won't fit..
.i think he was saying you cant fit that into your profile..unlike Glen Fyrth...managers manager of the season...bah.

JUDGING POTENTIAL
For the first time in my FML playing days i have finally learnt JP!! Although Steve Drew found it midly amusing..thus..
Steve Drew: says: (21:50:40)
damn and drat to you ,you j.p.ist.lol
Steve Drew says: (21:51:51)
it reaches the parts ordinary scouting just doesnt reach

RANTING

A popular pastime ranting...and I came across this on the SI Forums...I think it was around the problems with the server outage in the states and the lack of support..thus
While your at it SI id like a server of my own...to be staffed by 999 chimpanzees that never bid for any players I like and throw every game . I want a cash boost of 10mil at the start of my GW and none of my players to ever get injured.

Also I wish for you to pay for me to play on my own server and send me regular emails congratulating me on how super I am as a manager...

Thanks
COMPETITION TIME

The REAL WORLD

A popular dip into the Real world of Football and Sport from around the Red tops and evening papers. This week i have not been at work so ive trawled the interent for some funny bits and i came across a few classic quotes from our counterparts in the real world...some of them are real gems!
"What will you do when you leave football, Jack - will you stay in football?"
(STUART HALL, Radio 5 Live)
"And I suppose they [Spurs] are nearer to being out of the FA Cup now than at any other time since the first half of this season, when they weren't ever in it anyway."
(JOHN MOTSON, BBC)
"....and the news from Guadalajara where the temperature is 96 degrees, is that Falcao is warming up."
(BRIAN MOORE)
"The game is balanced in Arsenal's favour."
(JOHN MOTSON)
"You have got to miss them to score sometimes."
(DAVE BASSETT)
"And I honestly believe we can go all the way to Wembley. . . unless somebody knocks us out."
(DAVE BASSETT)

Good old Dave Basett, he`s not the brightest torch in the dark is he!

As it was champions league time this week for our 4 BRITISH teams..i came across this:

The top 5. . . ... signs Champions League is getting too easy for English clubs

5. Rafael Benitez’s in-depth pre-match team talk replaced with a lively game of Pictionary
4. ‘Next George Best’? No. Ryan Giggs now known as ‘Next Judith Chalmers’
3. Pre-match energy drinks replaced with gin and tonic
2. Fans taking time out to learn foreign languages for away trips, rather than shouting slowly in English while miming
1. It’s becoming fiscally wiser for players to be paid in Air Miles

We`ve had many changes in blisett this week..new mods, Organisers, and chat helper..and blow me down they asked me to be a chat helper!! The idiots are taking over the Asylum..i have now relinquished my black card status and all seems to have been forgiven for my past mistermena`s in Lineker Gameworld...Well ive got to say whilst typing the blog tonight ive been watching RED DWARF..its a bit of a let down in all honesty...its ok...but ive seen better!!

So to season 4...and the Daggers will be in Div 2 of AEFA i think...but don’t worry we`ll be back..im off to order a milk shake and a crispy bar before the ship explodes...and don’t forget..smoke me a kipper ill be back for breakfast!

Have a good week!!

The Final Whistle 03-04-2009

The Final Whistle (This week sponsored by a Sega Goody bag)

An award winning start to this week from TFW as we are the proud recipients of a Sega Goody bag!! Marvellous..What’s in it i hear you cry...not a clue! But as soon as pat bungs it through the letter box at some time around 2pm which is standard i believe from 1st class post these days. It was won after being entered into a community completion on the forums..actually it was a bit of a given where as there were 5 prizes and only 4 entries!! We also currently lead the way in voting to be included on the FM Live official site! Up the Blisett!! Get a vote in if you haven’t already...check my profile for the link!!

Well thats enough off all that molarchy!! Down to business...What a week it has been, The mighty Dagger Utd continued there freefall to the lower leagues after we run out of cotton wool for star Columbian striker Pardo after he was crocked twice this week! I’ve been scouring the transfer market for days trying to find a replacement for 600k but nothing..but I did manage to pick up some kids for youth development...they are the future you know! Witham town of AEFA DB1 finnally succomened to there first defeat of the season at the hand of Ben Hibberts Deal Dynamos...im not sure why they wear pink tho...may have something to do with the manager..eh babe!!

Rant of the week award this week...well its a difficult one as i had a bit of a rant in the lobby which sent Glen Fryth off to get some beers in...ive finally drove him to drink!! All it was i was a bit naffed off with the cock up with the clocks going forward and it throwing the Game into chaos...i wasn’t the only one effected..one manager had to change his screen res to fit all his AI games list into it!! I blame the farmers to be honest!

Comedy Line of the week has to be Diccon Brown...genius! All around the subject of Judging Potential Blah Blah..

Diccon Brown says: (21:22:09)

“My jp is sitting there going so what? he's just gone round three defenders, thrown in a couple of lollipops, flicked it up to launch it into the top corner from 40 yards out... he probably won't scrub up to much”


I came across this on the forums somewhere...you have been warned kids...

“I am unable to leave FML even if I want to because having a team on here is basically like being in a marriage...
a) we're contractually bound and we can't be arsed with the hassle
b) we've already put far too much effort and time in to quit now
c) we know we probably can't get better anywhere else
d) there is something comforting about the routine
e) we feel guilty when we sneak off to play Pro Evo/COD, etc or WORSE when we exercise our right to a social life, FML is always somewhere there in the sub-conscious
f) we become irrationally attached to our mediocre, underachieving youth teams, like they are pseudo-offspring and the next big, leaping improvement is just round the corner.

After scouring the local rags and Red Tops on my daily commute this week i found some snippets to keep you amused...Mainly arround the return of yet another prodigal son to the land of toon...this time it was of the shearer variety...ammusingly i read they delayed it by a day so it wasn’t on 1st of April!!
Top Five things said by Shearer this week

5.”Moaning to the ref, whinging behind the bosses back,elbowing,being selfish. If i catch any of you doing this I`ll think `now theres a chip of the old block!`”

4.”Im saying nothing, Its up to you to work out whats going on..Bit like when im on Match of the day!

3.”Its not about Alan Shearer. Its about Newcastle United winning matches...Well thats half the truth!

2.”Look at me and now look at Dowie. Now take the first thoughts that come into your mind and put them together. Thats what we need to do...Win UGLY!

1.” Alot been said about this striker.He`s an England Hero and still knows how to score. He`s not fit but he`s starting...Sit down Michael. Im talking about me!

Alan shearer has warned his Players to stay clear of nightlife for the next 8 weeks. Just one Ropey club at a time lads! Shearer also said he would be taking advice from his former managers. Kevin Keegan, Glenn Hoddle, Ruud Gullit, Graemhe Souness, Ian Branfoot. These are just 5 of the men he must ignore!

Diego Maradona`s Argentine were walloped 6-1 this week by Bolivia. Its not the first time he`s been hit for 6 and high thanks to a strong Bolivian Lineup!

Dart news now and Phil Taylor was hit by an Apple this week during his win over Jelle Klaasen in Glasgow. And it poses a question...what the hell was fruit doing in Scotland!

Finally this week Steve Bruce is a bit upset with Amr Zaki, saying “i have never worked with someone so unprofessional.” A Tearfull Paul Mcgrath wept “did i mean nothing to you!”

Into the final few days of the Season in blisett and another Edition of TFW has been read and digested..i resisted the urge to use the GOODY BAG pun as i thought it wood be in slightly bad taste..i just hope the sega one isn’t a black zip one eh!

Good luck to one and all is you leagues this week...and someone just someone put a stop to Dublin Hearts domination of the youth competions...you can find there manager getting even more smug in the Lobby each evening...nice bloke though!!

Have a good week!!
