D2: Spurs Up And Running, Espanyol Up To Third (Matchday 7)

We mixed it up a little tonight showing our versatility though we should probably have won more comfortably. They attack you from the first minute, and we adjusted things to combat that, given our young defence. Pleased to put the points on the board and keep our mini unbeaten run going.

Glen Mullan (RCD Espanyol)

Well played, Glen. Half expected a drubbing, so not to disappointed with the scoreline.

David Marsden (Hamburger SV)

We have a good record against United with 1 win and 1 draw in our last 2 meetings, I thought we could surprise some people today.

Regan Thompson (Hertha BSC)

Another defeat but we played really well and should have at least a point from the game , Foden with the goal.

Scott Mckenzie (São Paulo FC)

We dominated the opening exchanges but against the run of play, conceded a penalty. In the second half, Fenerbahce had the better of the game, but Malinovskyi tucked Lerma's free kick home perfectly into the corner to salvage the game.

Carl Martin (TSG 1899 Hoffenheim)

D1: ATLETI OFF THE MARK, LEWA FIRES BLUES INTO THIRD (Matchday 7)

Still looking for that elusive first 3 points. Was never gonna get them at Chelsea. Although we made it more of a match after the break.

Jimmy Gouldie (Southampton)

D5: Brugge Cruise, Kyiv Bruised! (Matchday 6)






D4: Augsburg Stay Top, (Matchday 6)




Very close game and lucky to come away with all 3 points. Nice start to the season with a couple of players to join in October this should strengthen the first team and keep us up there.

paddy d (FC Augsburg)

D3: River Top, Samp Sunk! (Matchday 6)








D2: McKenzie Laments Loss As United Take Top Spot (Matchday 6)

Huge win for us, starting to get our season on track.

Andrew Bailey (AC Milan)

We had a feeling this was a banana skin, and although not at our best we should have seen out the game once Cavani put us in front. We will put the point on the board and move on to Sunday.

Glen Mullan (RCD Espanyol)


Soundly beaten against a strong Levante team. They overpowered us in the final 25 minutes with 2 goals and another disallowed. Motm Vlahovic was unplayable.

Carl Martin (TSG 1899 Hoffenheim)


D1: Old Lady Dreams, Harmer Nightmares Continue (Matchday 6)

Slowball still doing the job I see. Well done Ash, gratz on the win mate. FC Porto only won once in 6 league matches this season, but it's still a great result for Valencia I André Guerraguess. I'll need to find motivation somewhere, somehow.

André Guerra (FC Porto)

Another strong display by the team, to be on 18 points and to only so far conceded 2 goals has been more than we could have dreamed of.

Still taken from James McKenzie's VHS collection

Overall 5 points from 4 games isnt too bad but tomorrow is HUGE! We have lots of fitness concerns and a winnable cup tie on Tuesday - a cup run is something that is mega important to this clubs culture, ethos and history - as such expect wholesale changes ahead of tomorrow.

Sir Stephen Beddows (God) (Sampdoria)



Palace welcome Mönchengladbach to Selhurst Park this evening looking to add to the point picked up in Koln on Thursday. The home side look to be at full strength, the main issue will be who starts up front, unhappy Sorloth or in form Suarez, big decision.

⍟Greg Bilboaツ (Crystal Palace)

Looks like a home win maybe 2-0, good luck.

⭐️Ken Keeley⭐️ (Borussia Mönchengladbach)

A game that could easily have gone either way. The 3 points take us to 10th, however a tough trip to Zenit is up next for the Eagles.

⍟Greg Bilboaツ (Crystal Palace)

Playing a stronger team at their gaff I was expecting a 2 goal loss and that’s how it turned out. No goals in two now with our only scorer, Belotti, off target with a few chances so that’s a worry No other players scoring is also a worry. Stats fairly equal so maybe we were a little unlucky.

⭐️Ken Keeley⭐️ (Borussia Mönchengladbach)

Our easiest match so far this season, that's also 3 wins on the spin as we move up into 2nd. Our defence was outstanding as they didn't have a shot on target.

Jay Jones (River Plate)

We showed remarkable composure as we soaked up all the pressure thrown our way. And when opportunities arose we were clinical up front with Zaniolo scoring the only goal of the game. A big loss for the next game however as Rob Holding gets a red card.

Syed Shah (Ajax)

D5 Back Pages (Matchday 5)

Great win with the known recipe! Now you know our plan! Try and stop it!

Chris Baggio (Dynamo Kyiv)

Very strong result against the Russian side, Dennis coming in and scoring once and assisting two, lovely.

I was hoping the struggle could be over for FC Porto after a good win past Thursday, but it's not. Failed to beat a clearly lower rated Aston Villa side at home tonight, 1-1 was the score. Conceded our opponent's only shot on target unfortunately. Ederson is being useless. On the other hand, we could only score 1 out of 7. . . So another 2 points dropped and already 10 points behind 1st place. Disappointing stuff. There's always next match. And next season. . .

André Guerra (FC Porto)

Great performance tonight, 15 points from 15, what a start.

kevin mcgregor (Juventus)

Dominated possession, but both sides with just the 2 shots on target. The Baggies shot went in.

Alex McLean (Manchester City)

D2 Back Pages (Matchday 5)




Psg drop to 2nd on goal difference after losing 3 2 at Sao Paulo. No complaints though as we gave it a go coming from 2 0 down to equalise but overall we were beaten by a better side. On to the cups next with a tough fixture against Anderlecht.

Andrew Kelly (Paris Saint-Germain)


D5 Back Pages (Matchday 4)


5 goals in 3 Bundesliga matches, we hope he'll continue this way.

Gianluca Ghio (Independiente)

Down to 9th, and against 8th placed Kazan next, important game.

Daniel Wythe (Santos FC)

We could score more goals at the end.

Chris Baggio (Dynamo Kyiv)

D4 Back Pages (Matchday 4)

This will be my first game in charge since my recent return to Top 100. I have made a few alterations to the squad, too many in fact and am beginning a transfer ban as a result. I’ll put my hand up and admit I took my eye off the ball, onwards and upwards . #forzaatalanta ☘️

feargal Hickey (Atalanta BC)

We are still looking to move out our last none Spanish based or Spanish nationality players in our first team, we have 5/6 players including Lang, all can leave for Spanish players in return. Would like to have all sold by end of the day. PM or put in an offer, I could give all 5/6 players for 1 or 2 of yours also, all positions considered but a CB or CM of higher rating would be nice.

Mike Scallotti (Málaga CF)

I have to look for signings for the defence because my defence is in a mess.

Sheene Ralspunsky (Feyenoord)

D3 Back Pages (Matchday 4)





Willing to pack a couple or more and maybe others for one of yours. PM me if interested.

The Special Gyan (Internazionale)

I will be open to deals on most players after I've had chance to review the squad and see them in action, apologies for those offers rejected so far, rather than message each one of you I'll let you know on here. After Thursday and Sundays games I'd reckon I'll be in a better spot for negotiating.

⍟Greg Bilboaツ (Crystal Palace)

I was expecting to win this one so I was very disappointed. Stats in their favour so well done Jay on a nice win. Mid table now. LEARN AND MOVE ON.

⭐️Ken Keeley⭐️ (Borussia Mönchengladbach)

If it wasn't for one of the rarest sights in Soccer Manager - a free kick goal after a yellow card - in the first minute, perhaps the outcome could be different.

Hugos Monkides (Sassuolo)

Fair result in the end, Koln had more possession, Palace more chances, everything else virtually identical. . . Pretty happy with a point away from home in the first game in charge.

⍟Greg Bilboaツ (Crystal Palace)

Great victory against Inter… Sunderland is on fire…


D2 Back Pages (Matchday 4)

Big win for us as we beat Spurs away 3-2, squad down to 43, no internal transfers done since taking over & we wont do any unless we like the deals, a great start to the season and promotion is our aim.

mark stewart (Udinese Calcio)

Looking back on some of the attempts we probably deserved the win but couldn’t get a 2nd to kill of the game , keeps us unbeaten for the season.

Scott Mckenzie (São Paulo FC)

This was a tough match, when you see Casemiro and Paqueta lining up against you, you know you are in for a battle. We weathered the early storm and our big players produced. It's been an excellent start to the season, and I'm pleased with the progress the squad is making.

Glen Mullan (RCD Espanyol)

Milners adaptability may prove crucial in the long season ahead,

Various talks regarding Moreno and more so Fekir over the past 24 hours but nothing more to report.

Niall Taylor (Manchester United)

Left back Fran Garcia will miss half the season though after breaking his ankle and Sinisterra joins Grifo on the injured list also.

Andrew Bailey (AC Milan)

D1 Back Pages (Matchday 4)







Even match possession wise but had much more of the other stats. Great start to the season.

Gregg Robinson (SL Benfica)

Results have not been great so far but we kept fighting, changing some tactics and some players and even offering some new contracts this week to boost our players moral, shake things up and change our luck! Glad we could bounce back tonight with a solid win, hopefully we can pick up some form now. Vamos Porto!

André Guerra (FC Porto)

Not a lot in it regarding stats and chances, Juventus were just more clinical, delighted with the start, 12 points, 4 wins, 9 goals scored and 1 against. Roll on to the next tuff game.

kevin mcgregor (Juventus)

D1 Back Pages (Matchday 3)

A game that in reality could of went anyway, a draw would of been a fairer result but happy with the 3 points.

kevin mcgregor (Juventus)

Could he be our star man this season?

Ash L (Valencia CF)

We were second best, so delighted to take the points home.

Gregg Robinson (SL Benfica)

it's been a very frustrating start, decent performances but poor results, and more so as this seems to happen every single season. I'll keep trying and making some adjustments.

André Guerra (FC Porto)

Not the best start to the season, especially against managerless City! We certainly didn’t help ourselves by having two players sent off in the first half!

Gav Harmer (Atletico Madrid)

Rodrygo scored twice but it was Mahrez who was most impressive with a goal, assist and motm. Happy with that!

Adam (Barcelona)

Yes there was some brief contact with Barcelona but I am here today and will be here for this season at least. The fans have welcomed me here from day one and I will continue to do my best for this great club.

Ash L (Valencia CF)
