  • Most 2nd Place Managers

    You’ve got to be in it to win it, so there’s no disgrace at all in finishing second in the table (even if it might be a bitter pill at the time). It’s no surprise, therefore, to see that many of the most titled managers are also those who have finished as runners-up more times…

  • Most Titled Managers

    Unsurprisingly, Scott Mckenzie leads the way. His EIGHT D1 titles alone would be more than enough, but he’s since added two more with Sao Paulo as he’s taken them from the bottom of D5 to the brink of the top four in D1. Now, with three games to play, we have a three-way tie for…

  • D1 Title Race

    83 points needed to guarantee the title… the maximum points both Chelsea or Hellas Verona can get is 83…. Of course, they meet at Stamford Bridge in the final game of the season! it would be a sixth title for Chelsea and manager James Mckenzie, but the first time they have won two in a…

  • Division One Sack Race

    The bottom half of D1: 38 points needed to avoid the sack, 43 to avoid relegation…. Villa and Valencia are already down. The lowest points totals ever for 20th was Southampton’s 12 last season, while Schalke amassed a meagre 21 points to finish 19th in S12. Fenerbahce need four more points to equal the lowest…

  • D2 Promotion Push

    Ten teams are still plausibly in with a chance to go up from D2 with five games left to play: 57 points has been enough in recent seasons to guarantee a playoff place. Realistically, the final two playoff spots are between Hertha, Udinese, Sporting, Schalke and Celtic. It would be an amazing first for Celtic,…

  • Division Two Sack Race

    46 points are usually required to guarantee avoiding the bottom three and the sack in D2, and this season I expect it will be a few points less. The table now, with five games to play: Werder Bremen are as good as gone and look set to return to D3 next season for the first…

  • D3 Promotion Push

    The top half of D3 with five games to go: With 60 points needed to be sure of a playoff place, the current top four look sure to have that covered. Zagreb looked to be running away with it at the halfway stage, but have taken just 20 points form 14 games since. They seem…

  • Division Three Sack Race

    Five games left, this is the bottom of D3: With 45 points needed to be 100% sure to avoid relegation, we can be sure that Gladbach are gone, and their manager Ken jumped two games ago before he was pushed. Ken had amassed a paltry 5 points in twelve games since his halt-time team-talk, while…

  • Youth Cup and Shield Finals

    Levante vs Benfica 1st leg Saturday 25 May, 2nd leg 1 June. River Plate vs Leicester City 1st leg Saturday 25 May, 2nd leg 1 June.

  • D4 Promotion Push

    Here’s the top of the D4 table with six games to play: With 60 points needed to “guarantee” a playoff place, 67 points for the top three, and 73 for the title, it actually looks like none of the teams are likely to reach the points totals that would “guarantee” those finishing positions this season.…
