KuPS - The Rocky Road To Glory

The Pressure Building

These last few years have been great for me. I have won ten trophies with KuPS, was about to win two more and I married a movie star. However, there has been this niggling little itch at the back of my mind. I can feel it, it bothers me day and night. I can try to ignore it but I know that it is always there. It stings, it burns, it terrorizes me.

I know what it is. It is something which I have had for as long as I can remember. It caused the end of my career as a footballer and it may have caused the end of my first marriage. It is a disease. It is alcoholism. I have been addicted to it since I first tasted it as a teenager. I am three years sobre but it has been hard.

There is a voice in the back of my head. It calls to me, "Drink! Drink! Drink!" It is overwhelming at times. It's like a heavy metal band playing a concert on my ear drums. There is no way to describe how I feel. I am at the very limits of my will power to contain the beast within.

Even now, as I sit at the bar in a local pub, I try to contain myself with a pint not a foot from my face. I can feel every cell in my body at war as I sit their staring at the glass. I need to contain myself, I must do the impossible. I must contain the beast.

It is back

It were a few long years. After murdering Dudu, I came back through Russia, Poland, Germany and Denmark. I found out that Nick was doing well, and I made my way to the pub I haven't visited in years. It was the old smelly bar, where I fucked the bartender on the pooltable. It was the one I left and fell in love with Nick. It was the one where my life took another turn.

But I'm sitting here lonely, waiting for someone to take a drink with me, even if it's one bottle of Coca Cola. I'll wait for ya....

Review

We have done it! We have won the treble for four consecutive seasons! I had never thought that it would be possible but we did it so comfortably. For the second year running, we have beaten Honka 3-0 in the Finnish Cup Final.

My Player of the Month is, undoubtedly, Vincent Dubois. I think I have ran out of superlatives for the young Frenchman. He has scored five goals this month, including two in the Cup Final. No wonder Leeds United are bidding for him every day!

Best Regens From Youth Intake




Saku Jaaskelainen looks like an exciting prospect. I will be trying to get the best out of all three players to see if they can surpass their potential.

October Fixtures

As you can see, the Finnish FA are looking to troll us by giving is five league games in fourteen days. We can look forward to an easy double header at home to AC Oulu. We will be looking to give Marseille a run for their money when they come to the Savon Sanomat Areena on the nineteenth.

Manager's Notes

I think that it is fair to say that we are by far the best team in Finland now. I will undoubtedly be fielding calls for the services of Vincent Dubois from clubs all over Europe. He has proved that he can perform on the big stage and might even be looking forward to an international call-up. Until next time, stay tuned!

Good Luck against Marseille

You are doing great! keep it up

I had the same problem (too many games in very short time), just rest your player before OM game!

I dare you to not to think the sweet taste of pint (the first one)

thanks it will be an entertaining game for sure

This being my fourth season, I'm starting to enjoy these heavy schedules I don't see this as a time to rest players because everybody's condition is all below 85% so it is just a case of playing those who are not injured

Great month
Keep it up, good luck for the Champions League

2013-02-13 13:32#80936 Murtagh : Great month
Keep it up, good luck for the Champions League

Thanks Murtach I hope I can do well this year

Congrats for all your achievements so far Rookie. I am sure with time you will be able to add the Champions League to your collection. Great read, great story.
