Luckiest team!

[Shark]

I think I have possibly the luckiest promotion tale ever. In division 2.5 in England there is a team called Timaloys who took it by storm. They won 10 games in a row.

My team, AFC Muse, had an extremely slow start, with a single win, a draw and one loss. Obviously Timaloys had 3 wins by now. I started winning a few games after that but Timaloys weren't giving up! They had won all their games too. But on the 11th game of the season, they lost. On the 12th game, they lost again. By now, I was on a seven-game winning streak. This is how the table stood after 12 games:

----------------P W D L + - Pts GD
Timaloys 12 10 0 2 32 18 30 14
AFC Muse 12 9 1 2 39 11 28 28


Who do I have next in the league...? Timaloys! And the last game? The team at the foot of the table! Now promotion seems quite likely all of a sudden...

Does anyone else have any interesting stories?!

RESULT! after todays game,I beat Timaloys 3-2 and now I'm at the top of the table by 1 point. Its looking good.

Good luck, I might play you next season! It'll be good to face some competitive teams, I'm 17 points clear after winning all my games. Great record maybe, but your season sounds far more exciting, like my season 6. Just don't slip up!

we all mite be in the same league nxt season
long as i win today to basicly secure promotion

[chris boston]

It seems that within the next few seasons, the division 1 leagues may become nearly as strong as the Premier League. A lot of the teams are strong now, imagine in a few seasons time!

[Shark]

How many Division 1 Series are there? 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 isnt it? So it seems like theres quite a good chance we'll all be the same... if we all get promoted that is, lol.. its gonna be tough next season...

Chris, hoops, good luck...

[chris boston]

Yeah, and we'd all have one team from the Premier League relegated into our division as well, whatever division we're in.

Oh, and I'm 17 points clear with three to play for, I was promoted at round 11 when I beat the team second placed.

[Shark]

Lol... good luck for next season then... and hoops too as well i guess...

Argh.. Im so close im within touching distance! Ive been in this damn Division 2 for 4 seasons now... lol..

Chris... looking at your team name... does that mean you're from Chelmsford, Essex? Because I am also from there...

[chris boston]

I wasn't sure whether you meant good luck for this season or next season, so I just mentioned I'm already up so you know.

I used to live there when I signed up back in late July / early August last year. I lived there all my life. But late August last year I moved to Braintree.

La Citta di Chelmsford is Italian for Chelmsford City, made to sound like teams such as Citta di Palermo. I just did that when I first took over, never thought of a better team name, so I left it how it is.

[Shark]

Cool I'd lived in Chelmsford until 3 years ago when I moved to Springfield... nice place. I know its a long shot, but do you know someone else in Braintree called Alex Wilcox?

[chris boston]

The name doesn't ring any bells, sorry.

[Shark]

Lol, thanks anyway, I wasnt expecting much, its not small, Braintree

the unlucky league will get Dundlebugs or Knights who could bounce straight back up. East Tilbury and Goalkickers could drop down again.

unless im in there league nxt season

[chris boston]

I was thinking that, Ash. Dundlebugs are a good side, but then six of the Premier League's eight are, and one has to go down. I'd hate to be in the same league as Dundlebugs and Egg Chasers.
