hmmm, that's annoying

and the ref checks his watch and then blows for fulltime and we will be back later with the roundup...

A frustrating result for Chelsea who just can’t seem to get any consistency going with a team that has hardly changed since week 1 of the season, still we plod on with maybe a formation change as not sure what else to do, Braga and Bate are currently at the level expected of both sides.

Well done to all who had good results go their way

Broadly a decent set of results although a lot depends on the match reports and how the teams played. 

The lack of goals at Barcelona is starting to worry me. Is it causing issues that Benzema uses a zimmer frame? Can Osimhen fill the void left by the great man? Is Gift Orban up tot he standard required? Am I completely over analysing the situation? 
Nacional cruise on but the big challenges lie ahead with games against the big 3 coming up. The other big teams in Uruguay are all significantly outscoring me (Danubio scored 22 more by week 12).  
Hannover slightly disappointing with a home draw against Karlsruhe in what was a real 6 pointer between 3rd and 4th but a draw is a draw and can't be sniffed at. Other than Tom's ridiculously impressive Wolfsburg most teams are stumbling in the Bundesliga this season.
Rennes are still on course for Ligue 1 and are continuing their march up the Leagues. The 6-3 Cup match against Reims will be an interesting read ........... 

Well done everyone on another fun week loving seeing the drama in the Prem unfold with some huge teams in there battling it out. Got the Christmas socks out and the playlist ready for tomorrow. Might even watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation tomorrow night. Tis the season after all!!!!

Another great week of Hemsoft and plenty to think about once again.

I'm not quite in as high spirits as jolly old St Rob but I'm sure it will come as the weeks advance!!


Charlton - decent week I think.  Scraped over the line in the cup game by the barest of margins and a league game that I can't work out was a glass half full or one half empty.  Watford are unbeleivably tough opponents year after year so a draw is never a bad result especially after falling behind however you do have to win as many home games as you can so in that regard always disaapointing.   Having played both Watford and league leaders Villa twice already this season we have certainly been in worse positions for the run-in!!  Hopefully this one can go right down to the wire!

Nantes - Good win in the cup to another Ligue 1 side and a very tough game in the league against one of the main challengers to the title ending in a draw.  Another home game we would have liked 3 points, especially after taking the lead but again a draw not to be sniffed at.

Fluminense - Good win in the cup albeit quite tight, see what the report says on that one.  Disappointing defeat in the league especially as it was a late goal but that has been Flum's season this year, very inconsistent.  Big changes afoot there I think next summer....

Wolfsburg - Shining light of my teams at the minute, turned an average week into a good one.  To win away at Leverkusen after being behind is incredible despite their inconsistencies this season, always an incredibly tough opponent.  Two more tough weeks coming against Schalke and Hannover, will be keen to see where things lie after those two, still a long way to go...

Thanks Paul.

Email turns all sent out.

If you notice any issues then let me know and I will sort them out tomorrow...

Have just sent some money over Paul, doing a spot of Spanish scouting in the Canaries

Not a major issue Paul but the cup draws didn’t print out, it just says not found

Just to add to what Gaz said. There were also no next opponent sheets or order sheets for cup games. Assume this was caused by the same error as they would be auto generated?

Seems I forgot to run the draw for the european quarter-finals, again. Still not rewrote that system yet, hopefully before next season's QF stages. I'll resend the turns that are missing those details this morning.

Thanks

Email turns all resent with the missing euro draws/opponets scout reports.

Thanks.

Any more issues and I'll be back saturday...

Thanks Paul. Need to deal with some angry Lithuanians before I get a chance to look at my turn.

Just read this ….. can't wait to have a week off at Christmas. Taking a leaf out of Rich’s book and spending Christmas and New Year with friends in the Canaries.
