"Welcome Sports Fans!

You are here with me, Dick Hunter, for the live draw of the Quarter Final stage.

First of all, lets have a recap of the group stages looking at the highs and the lows.

In Group A Donkey went off to a flying start despite expectations but fitness, injuries and overall talent fast became an issue which saw one of the tightest final rounds of all. Dubrovnik pipped them at the post but Triforce couldn't match the Donkeys goal for goal and they just missed out on the cut. Lippi's had a torrid time of it and simply couldn't find their feet in time to mount a challenge.

In Group B Dereham were clear winners with a joint record points score of 13 out of all the groups. However it wasn't so clear cut for the second qualifying team, Balham looked to be going through but a marvellous effort from Westend saw them rise above the Blazers at the last. Bringing up the rear was ANAL who had a shitty time of it.

Group C was probably the closest of the groups with all four teams still in with a chance of qualification when entering the final round. However there were draws all round and so the standings didn't change, the Hunters topped the group and Engham took second leaving Norfolk'n Chance living up to their name and Sonal City FC sitting in fourth.

Group D saw our illustrious leader storm to victory, equalling Dereham's points record. With Mad Dogs beating HeSkEy in the final round an impressive win for Codebreakers could have seen them through, while it would have to have been a huge scoreline they could only manage a draw and so failed to make the cut, brining up the rear with Mad Dogs whose win doubled their overall points total but wasn't enough to drag them off the bottom of the table.

So going into the pot are Dubrovnik, Donkey, Dereham, Westend, Hunters, Engham, Hurricanes and Heroic Skidmark Eyers.

We wave goodbye to Triforce, Lippiano, Balham, ANAL, Norfolk'n, Sonal, Codebreakers and Mad Dogs.

Thanks for playing guys, good look in the Losers Plate competition.

We go now, live (honest), to the Quarter Final's draw with, recently revived for your viewing pleasure, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson!"



Dubrovnik Ahuh-Huh will play Dereham Shamone

Engham Ahuh-Huh will play Hunters Shamone

HeSkEy Ahuh-Huh will play Donkey Shamone

Hurricanes Ahuh-Huh will play Westend Shamone

First Leg



Second Leg



"So there we have the draw, join me later today when we outline the rules for the knock out stages, take a look at the managers who didn't make the grade and highlight some of the transfers available.

Take it easy sports fans.

Dick… Out!"
Playing a familiar team in the quarters and playing home in the second leg... advantage me :D
Ooh, a familiar foe. Well, not for Donkey FC but for me who designed the badge. and I won't let you forget that...
Hi all, due to serious family matters I'm going to have to put this on hold for a short while, I'll pick it up again asap, in the mean time have a think about your 3 possible transfers and/or manager change (if you want one)


Due to cloning only being available at the start of the database there are only limited numbers of each player, if you want to make your 3 transfers here are the clones now available:


Obvioulsy the other unused players from around the world are also available but only one of each.
I'll check in when I can but take your time.
I want to be a teams sports director.
I want El Sharaawy
Jose Mourinho
Davide Santon
Raphael Varane

Are they possible so I can smash the hurricanes?

IMPORTANT MESSAGE


We (The Anonymous Brotherhood of the Flying Daggers) have kidnapped your supreme leader, and demand that we get 1 Billion Trillion Gazillion US Dollars, so we can escape Fantasia and still have some money left.

We will release him after tuesday, when we received our moneys. Every Question will be answered with a simple: Only Bill Clinton knows the answer.
I'll take Craig Gordon!
DEAR FANTASIA CITIZANS


I known as the god of thiefs and travellers Hermes declare my self as the General, leader, Chancellor of the Fantasia Restricted Republic and I announce that I will use our army to atack Olympus. Don't worry I made a deal with the titan king Cronos to use his armies too. but that is not the topic let's focus on football it looks good my team Anatolia Lions eliminated but no problem and keep this in mind if you be disrespectful against my I will eliminate or seize your team or just point a gun to your head.

The Anonymous Brotherhood of the Flying Daggers you will not get paid but my special forces of cyclops will kill all of you hahahahahhaa and than our old leader may get his throne back.

Hermes out.
Thank you all for your patience, I'm sort of back a bit now, still not 100% active but will be at least keeping an eye on things ;)

I'm afraid I have had to abandon the transfer system prior to the quarter finals as i've just realised that while i could swap players around I can't make them be eligible for the tournament so it would be pointless!! Dammit.

Sorry to those who were hoping for transfers to save their team from certain defeat but maybe by version 2 i'll have figured all this sort of stuff out ;)

However managers can be swapped around so if you would like to fire your manager in favour of another one just let me know via pm and i'll do what i can, for managers in demand the random number generator will assign them to a team as always.

I'm hoping to be on with the quarter finals mid next week as I still have a lot going on into early next week.

Nano Technology Human Trials a Success!


The worlds greatest dictator leader was heralded as a pioneer of medical science today as the first human trials of the potential applications of nano technology.

However, the trials have been condemned around the world as no permission was ever given to undertake trials of this nature on live subjects.

The Fantasian embassy has released a statement highlighting the success of the trial with the only side-effects found, so far, to be intensely bad breath and a high pitched voice. While the technology obviously needs tweaking there is no doubt that today could well be the day that man beat nature.

Football mad, or as some say just plain mad, Ziechael has utilised the technology already to restore the quarter final teams in his inaugural League of Champions tournament to full health. When asked why he had the following to say:

"Injuries were hitting hard for some teams and after a spate of training injuries leading up to the next round there were even two teams without goalkeepers. I had originally planned to make some transfers prior to the next round but when that plan fell through I thought to myself, 'Why not just heal them?', admittedly the thought was more simple than the solution but here we stand today, mission accomplished."

He added:

"It was important to me that each team would have an equal chance at success in this tournament, however to create a new batch of nanites will take some time so no more healing will be available until after the tournament, good luck to all the finalists."

With the matches due to take place tonight we can expect to see reports tomorrow.

Yay, great to see you have continued with this :')

In other news, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been kidnapped, sliced and diced, and turned into an Apple Crumble, after fans were upset with his managerial style. The approach has scared off all managers besides one. The cockiest, most arrogant man known in football, Jose Mourinho.
