GRcade Pirates FC IV - Stoke, Wolves, Sunderland p80

[The People's ElboReformat]

Goat playing.

Already played more for the Pirates this season than in our first season. Hopefully get some more games... just need to cripple some of our players during training.

[Cuttooth]

Already played more for the Pirates this season than in our first season.

That loan spell at Birmingham has turned you from a useless wing back into our second choice left winger. Clearly scaring you with transfer threats was the way to go.

[man-eater chimp]

Oh really? In that case I retract my previous statement, and i'm happy to see young me-chimp get some much needed experience in until the big games where he is obviously too inexperienced to be trusted.

3 assists in 2 games. Future England right-back here!

[teh bork]

You know you're ahead of bork in the pecking order, right?

But Wiggles was our shittest player last season and will be again this year. No wonder Cosmo left, the manager's too close with certain people...

[Red Devil]

@caliban52 you make red devil look like franz beckenbauer

Wtf noone deserves that.

Goal Highlights

25/8 - Nova scored Monaco's equaliser away to Hearts in a 1-1 draw that sees Monaco through 4-2 on aggregate

27/8 - GRcade will play Man Utd at Old Trafford in the League Cup Third Round

[Nova]

Well done Custard! Seems it was a good idea for me to go abroad and keep Custard there instead. There should be a good opportunity for me next season if I keep scoring for Monaco, mind!

[Hank Scorpio]

Can't be far away from being fully fit and inspiring the team to Europe

[Benzin]

Typical diving Chopra

Least we got Custard...

[Count Nood]

Great performance from Wiggles there.

[GrinWithoutaKat]

Typical Cardiff with a dodgy injury time penalty.

[CaptainCalcium]

Good game guys, Custard played his arse off.

Nooooo

Probably needs it for the servers.

[Starbreaker]

Steve

All on Roon now.

Goodbye Kanbei....

It was great playing with you.

In actual fact, it was great playing with anyone.

[Cuttooth]

Well that's strange. Ordinarily when a chairman steps in to accept a bid I would be powerless to stop it going through unless I offer the player a new contract. Here, I can't offer Kanbei a contract but I was able to simply cancel the deal at the last minute.

In the interests of 'story' I'm willing to reload to a day before and let the transfer go through.

Any clubs interested in me?

Any clubs interested in me?

Reading still, and Wolves.

[abcd]

I'll pass.

Let me know when Barcelona show interest.
