5 Wins from 6 left us first in our group, with JJK finishing in second. Here are the results from all the groups:



The draw for the quarter-finals will be made on the 18th February, this will be posted in my next update.

My player of the tournament so far has to be my beloved Ilja Venalainen. He produced some magnificent displays to notch up no less than 9 goals in just five appearances. He is a tremendous player and we are lucky to have him!




Until next time, stay tuned!

League Cup Quarter Final Draw + A Few Letters

I was sitting in my office, watching Manchester United vs West Brom. It was another great game from the reds. Their patient build-up exposed cracks in the Baggies' defence, allowing Robin van Persie and Antonio Valencia to score. A two-nil victory, routine result for the title favourites who were in a disappointing third place in the Barclays Premier League.

I heard a beep and the grinding of the fax machine as Harri Ylonen sent me the League Cup Quarter Final draw which I was expecting. I was dreading the thought of being drawn with HJK. Thankfully we were drawn at home to TPS, an easy fixture by all accounts. The tie would be played on 27th February.



I had a look on my desk and there were two letters there. One was sent by a Mr. Or Dabool and the other by a Mr. Michael de la Parra. I opened the one from Or.

------------------------------------------

Dear Mr. Johnson,

I own a celebrity fansite called Any Talk. It is a site which allows subscribers to post question to a celebrity of their choice and that celebrity replies to that question. As you are a well-known ex-footballer and a seemingly talented manager, I was wondering if you could take part in answering fan questions from my site. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I am a huge fan of your management style.

Yours faithfully,
Or Dabool.

------------------------------------------

Dear sexy,

I apologise for my very forward approach to you all those days ago and I hope that we can put aside our differences to become friends, and maybe more. I am hoping that you will respond to this letter soon as it took me a long time to prepare it.

Your sex slave,
Michael de la Parra.

P.S. This letter might smell as I came on it using both of my reproductive organs.

------------------------------------------

I threw the second letter in to the bin straight away and I washed my hands thoroughly, twice. I thought about the first letter, surely a good opportunity to thank those who support me.

Ilja Venalainen looks like a beast for KuPS awesome results in there and that was a weird letter from Mchael (your sex slave) hahaha

2013-01-11 23:59#76721 The Boy Wonder : Ilja Venalainen looks like a beast for KuPS awesome results in there and that was a weird letter from Mchael (your sex slave) hahaha

I'm glad he's scoring so many because I stripped another player of his captaincy to give it to Ilja. And I don't think Michael is too pleased with this one

League Cup Quarter Final

It was a night where there was plenty to drink and much more to celebrate as KuPS beat TPS in the Finnish League Cup quarter final to secure their place in the semi final.



It was Ilja Venalainen who got the winner and he has been a true hero since being handed the captain's armband by manager Nick Johnson. He now has ten goals in six games and will be hoping to further increase his tally over the course of the season.

Ilja Venalainen: "Ever since Nick became manager, he has drilled us in to being the toughest battlers, the most clever tacticians and the most ellegant technicians. He has done some incredible work so far and that can be seen in the results we have earned. I feel that I have improved, as a player and as a person, under Nick. He has been an incredible leader to us and he never lets us down. I am looking forward to a bright future under Nick Johnson and I am not the only one."

Let's hope that Ilja's words hold true as we got the toughest semi final pairing:



My next update will be of the face-off with HJK at the Savon Sanomat Arena. Until then, stay tuned!

Ilja Venalainen the beast again lol good luck against HJK

Thanks again Mark Ilja is just a God for me at this stage, just unstoppable!

League Cup Semi-Final

It was an exciting game at the Savon Sanomat Arena as KuPS faced the giants of HJK in the semi-final of the Finnish League Cup. The atmosphere was electric as every pass, every tackle and every shot envoked a deserved reaction from the spectators.



It was a brilliant 2-1 victory for the Savo-side as Etchu Tabe and Sander Puri scored smart goals while Ebrima Sohna ran the show with an outstanding performance from midfield. HJK did have a midfielder sent off in the fifty-fifth minute but that did not stop them from scoring in the 72nd minute through Juho Makela. However, it was KuPS who booked a place in the final of the League Cup where Nick Johnson will look to win his first piece of silverware in a suit.

Nick Johnson: "The support that I've received from the board, the staff, the players and the fans has been absolutely incredible. I was very nervous when I took over but everyone here has helped me to guide the team to where we are now, one step at a time.

We are in the cup final now and our goal is to win the final and win a trophy for our cabinet. The hallmark of any good team is the amount of trophies they have stashed away and I want to enough to fill Buckingham Palace by the time I'm finished here!

Looking to the future, we are not setting ourselves monstrous tasks. We know our capabilities, and we know them well. We want to be the best that we can be but we will not make impossible tasks for ourselves. We will build a strong club and become consistent title-chasers. We have the belief and the support to do so."

The other team progressing to the final is MYPA. This should be a straight-forward victory for us but I will take nothing for granted.


My next update will be the League Cup Final. I hope that you have all enjoyed my journey thus far and stay tuned for more!

Looking very good so far Keep up the good work!

Dear Mr Johnson,

I want again to apologize for my behaviour in the bar that night. I knew I was pretty straightforwards, but after seeing some girl named K. Janssen go home alone, just after I slipped the Ryhapnol, I was desperate for a fuck, and you seems like the next best thing. I mean, not many transsexuals can be such open about the sexuality like you are.

I did not cum this time on this letter, because I found her and took her with me. If you'd like a shot at her too, feel free to visit me, the address is on the back of this letter.

Hope you will respond.
Greetings

Michael

Dear Mr. Freak,

I do not know who this "K. Janssen" is but I am sure you had a good time with her. No, I would not like a shot at her as I am married to a Mrs. Kate Johnson, whom I love dearly. Thank you for your kind, sexual offer.

Never send me mail again,
Nick Johnson.
