My worse result for some time. Squad will now be assessed, but certainly Costa and Szobo are not for sale.

Paul Masters (SC Internacional)

Thanks to MotM Drągowski for keeping us in the game

Carl Martin (TSG 1899 Hoffenheim)

Age is just a number, and the likes of Cavani are critical to our young players developing. It was important to get back to winning ways after our defeat to PSG and send our home support home happy.

glen mullan (RCD Espanyol)

Pedro Vilar (Tottenham Hotspur)

Think this seasons gonna be a rough one.

Andrew Bailey (AC Milan)

I can’t believe I have to play with this shit.

Marcelo Brozovic (CSKA Moskva)

We can fight! Got our first points of the season with a vital win.

Hugos Monkides (Sassuolo)

Awful result for Schalke in a game that they dominated and against ten men. Early season optimism hopefully not misplaced.

Steven Allington (FC Schalke 04)

A red card for Zapata destroyed our possibilities to win the match.

Alessandro Ioli (Sunderland)

A valiant effort against one of the stronger sides in the division. Happy with the performance. On to the next one where Sancho comes back from injury.

Syed Shah (Ajax)

After going one nil down we managed to get a second half penalty and end the game with a point … very happy with 4 points after the first 3 games.

Jamie Alldridge (FC Twente)

A game I was expecting to lose by a couple of goals so i was pleased with the point. The stats were close so probably a fair result. A good start to the season for us.

⭐️Ken Keeley⭐️ (Borussia Mönchengladbach)

Wallace the hero with 2 goals and then manages to get him self sent off.

paddy d (FC Augsburg)

First point of the season, I am not satisfied so far at all.

Master T (Olympiacos)

We almost took the victory if it weren't for Rousillon's last minute goal.

Sheene Ralspunsky (Feyenoord)

Not a bad start to D4, 3 games unbeaten, need to pick up a few wins though while we wait for the potential rises (and falls) to happen.

Mister TRX (Sevilla)

Drawing to bottom of the league isn't ideal, but still 7 points from 9 is solid/

Daniel Wythe (Santos FC)

We focus on our next game to avoid the same mistakes.

Chris Baggio (Dynamo Kyiv)

Delighted with our first 3 points in what promises to be a tough top division as always. Secured a great 2-1 victory over Gav's Atletico.

RJ Alston (Everton)

0-0 upto 60 minutes until Payet, fresh off the bench and with his first touch, curls in a beauty of a free kick. Lukaku adds the cherry late on for a 2-0 victory.

Rob Ryan (Real Madrid)

Another solid performance, early days but 6 points out of 6, 4 goals for and 0 against.

kevin mcgregor (Juventus)

Stats quite close but Benfica’s prowess upfront was too much for the home side.

Ash L (Valencia)

Benzema and Ronny started despite reports that Atletico Madrid have been trying to unsettle them for the past 4 days.

Gregg Robinson (SL Benfica)

A goal conceded in the 1st minute and a monstrous performance from opponent's goalkeeper Kobel screwd things up for us tonight. Still looking for the 1st win, hopefully soon enough. It sucks to always struggle to get results in the first matches of the season, it kinda kills the hope.

André Guerra (FC Porto)

Several hundred retired goalkeepers expressed their gratitude for the opportinity of playing under the former manager.

Chris Mackenzie (Liverpool)

Certainly creating chances now and seem to me much more solid at the back, reinforcements at the back have certainly helped so far.

Niall Taylor (Manchester United)

Good performance from Adeyemi who will have a lot of space this season.

Salvatore Zerbo (Levante UD)

A crazy 2 minute spell.

Carl Martin (TSG 1899 Hoffenheim)

We put a shift in, dominated the ball but was just not clinical in front of goal. We are progressing nicely and have more options this season than last, since in a good place in terms of optimism.

glen mullan (RCD Espanyol)

We lost first match when we should of got a point & dropped 2pts tonight. Could be a long season of missed opportunities. Their GK had a great game in a MOTM performance

Jay Jones (River Plate)

We held Galatasaray at 1-1 until the 72nd minute, but in the end we didn't have enough. I am not concerned about our performances so far but hopefully we can pick up some points soon.

Hugos Monkides (Sassuolo)

A better performance this week.

Jamie Alldridge (FC Twente)

Good battle with Dinamo. Maybe should have capitalised on man advantage but would take a draw.

Steven Allington (FC Schalke 04)

Well beaten tonight. Couldn't get a sniff despite 8 corners.

Alex McLean (Crystal Palace)

Torino left with all 3 points in a convincing performance against Feyenoord as the game ended 3-0. All of Il Toro's men in the final third were involved in the goals.

L H (Torino)

Second consecutive defeat, we will have to change the team.

Sheene Ralspunsky (Feyenoord)

Very happy with 2 wins from 2, long may it continue.

Daniel Wythe (Santos FC)

A clean victory (0-2) tonight as Adama Traore did what we all expected from him! One goal, one assist and Mom! Dovbyk scored again! Very pleased to see the team working as planned!

Chris Baggio (Dynamo Kyiv)

Nothing between the teams on stats.

Josh McMillan (FC Basel)

I put together a few general questions managers can use or adapt to produce their own audio messages to send in via the Anchor podcast app.

It's with a heavy heart I've decided to call time on the T100 mag. In truth I decided to run with it in the hope it would generate more activity within the T100 community but that hasn't worked the way I hoped. The manager interviews I truly loved the effort managers went to in response to the questions I put to them, I genuinely enjoyed reading all the answers and felt like I got to know each of the managers ideas for the game and their own clubs a bit better. In regards to the drum I've been banging for the last few months about activity in the GW I may have overstepped the boundaries with the posts on the newsfeed calling out managers, I stand by my feelings and opinions on the matter but it's not my place to go in all guns blazing, my inbox has been full of managers in agreement but as pointed out no rules have been broken by the lack of activity and as it's not my game world I will remove the posts and slide quietly into the background in T100, I'll still post my results and transfer activity, but I shan't be going controversial. In terms of why I'm calling a day with this it's simply time consuming, I spend at least 4 hours putting up the posts trying to jazz up the mediocre match reports SM generate and trying to find content to fill the mag but it just seems it's flogging a dead horse already. I appreciate all the views I've had, and the comments which thankfully have all been positive, but I've recently rejoiced the workforce and have found myself a job which means the time I have spare needs to be spent doing things that don't take as much time. So this is the final edition which will only consist of James McKenzie in the hot seat as again, I owe it to James to print his interview after the time he spent answering the questions.

In The Hot seat with...

Today we welcome Chelsea manager James McKenzie in to the final 'in the Hot seat'

Do you think Scott already has one hand on another title despite us not being at the half way stage of the season yet? After last nights results dropping 2 points was the last thing I wanted.......were 7 behind now and if the truth be told yeh it’s gonna be hard to claw back these points as scott has got a perfect balance to his team atm......even missing Messi and pique he’s still relentless .....but we will keep going the first team is looking good ,I’d still like to improve my midfield more but I’m happy with the progress we have made.but to answer your question truthfully scotts Barca are running all of us ragged atm....

You have an impressive pool of youth talent at your disposal, are you always focused on finding the next generation of talent in T100? theres nothing better than finding youth in this game who go far and yeh it’s one thing I love about this game......very seldom you will find me buying one from the free transfer list that’s not my bag.....I love to get into the Unknown’s of trolling the externals and finding raw talent that are getting regular or good minutes on the field of play.....one prime example is Darwin nunez who was doing well at penerol and playing un20 international football.....well recently he made his move to Almeria in Liga2 for 3.6mill and made his debut last week for uruguay and scored the equaliser against Peru .....there’s nothing better than finding this kid and watching him do well.....most of my youth though I have picked up through deals....I’m ruthless when it comes to deals andnask anyone most will tell u I ask for a youth on top of every deal lol I just feel that if someone wants my player that bad I can get that extra youth who could thenIn turn make another deal happen in the future......we have acquired mount Reece James Tammy Abraham who are the future of chelsea we have got guendouzi Colin Dagba bakayo saka Dwight McNeil Gabriel of Lille and most of the other good youth I have acquired through selling players I got on the external list ie I got saka through remiro who I got on the external and used my powers to do a trade.....maybe the next step to trying to bridge the gap with Scott means I may need to let these top talents go with midfielders to get better ones in we shall see

2-2 draw with Arsenal last night, a game you probably were looking to win to keep pressure on Barcelona, after being 2-0 down was it a good point in the end? Last nights result was a good point in a way because arsenal did well and it was a tricky game .....they missed a few chances aswell as us having some good chances but our lads kept going and showed a great attitude to get a draw.....we missed Ramos last night through not being fit maybe he might have helped but great teams win no matter what the circumstances and that’s were we need to get to.....Barca did it last night and we need to also.....but in other seasons we would have lost that game so the progress is there we just need to keep going and hopefully we will reap the rewards......

What are your targets for rest of the season? Our target for the rest of the season is to win the league......just need to keep at it and hope scott hits the skids at some point .....need to be ready for him slipping up.....our other target is to get the rises when they come and swap accordingly for the benifit of the club.....gonna be interesting few months rise wise and I’m not scared to swap big players so we will see how that develops.....a lot of people in here don’t get the just of the game .....u need to continuesly swap to get the team in a better state ......albeit the deal needs to be right and it’s a two way street on one hand people don’t sell for silly reasons and on the other some offers are piss poor

As with everyone else who are your Real life club and hopes for them this season? Real life club is Celtic ....me
And Scott were brought up to support Celtic by my dad and always will support them we live 10 mins away from parkhead it’s our local club also......hopes for them is to keep winning the league and cups they have done amazing last few years and the team look unplayable at home we just need to sort the away form and we will hopefully win the league again......rangers are stronger than last term but there’s still something missing in there play when they play away from home ....that is where the league will be won and lost on the road this season.......

what would you do to improve T100? I’d love to improve the match engine like everyone it’s very basic in commentary and easily predictable when it comes to cards and missed penalties and so on......I’d love to improve the times of response to pms also as it’s can get frustrating when someone doesn’t respond ......the game is class but if they spent more time with it then it could be anything u want it to be it’s got massive potential to do even better than what we have atm......

Thanks to James for his time and answers.

So there we have it, the final curtain has come down, I won't apologise for being passionate about non active members but my attempt at gaining traction on the newsfeed and fb page has had some small success, the videos on the fb page, and alex's on the blog are examples of what could be achieved by a fully active gameworld, I will still be a part of T100 but it's a back seat job for me

Thanks for your time again.

Hey guys, welcome to issue 9 of the T100 mag. Time isn't my friend today so I'm gonna get right on it and get the reports up from Sunday.

Division 1

Barcelona v Arsenal

The champions welcomed Arsenal to the Camp Nou looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. The game started slow with both sides figuring each other out a bit, On 20 minutes the first real chance and the first goal of the game. Arthur worked himself into the box before flashing the ball across the goalmouth, Lionel Messi got in front of Gomez to apply a delicate flick of his left foot on the ball which diverted it past Patricio, 1-0. That goal set up a bit of an onslaught from Barcelona, Patricio forced into saves from Neymar, Alaba and Messi before half time as the hosts took control. The only chance Arsenal mustered in the 1st half was a self made chance from Rashford, He cut in from the left beating Carvajal before firing just over the bar. HT 1-0. The visitors improved somewhat after the break, Harry Kane's knockdown for Sancho who drove the ball towards goal but it lacked any real threat and was a comfortable save for De Gea. Kane himself then worked himself in to a great position before getting a shot away which again didn't really trouble De Gea. Those chances were punished as on 70 minutes De Bruyne and Hazard linked well before Hazard unleashed a drive from the edge of the box which flew past the keeper into the roof of the net, 2-0. The hosts weren't troubled after and saw out another victory, thats just 3 defeats in 53 league games now for Barcelona.

Division 2

Sassuolo V Hamburg

Table toppers Sassuolo were looking to put an end to 4 successive draws when Hamburg rolled into town, themselves on the back of 2 successive defeats. The match started in great fashion with both sides looking to start on the front front. Smolov for the hosts and Gabbiadini for Hamburg both twice denied goals in the first 12 minutes as the game flowed from one end to the other. The visitors started to take control with Willian dictating play. The Brazilian had already passed up a few chances before on 37 minutes he broke the deadlock, Meza creating the opportunity before Willian struck a low effort beyond the outstretched dive of Consigli, 0-1. The lead lasted less than a minute as straight from kick off Sassuolo responded, Pedro went down the right flank before crossing for Smolov who smashed a half volley into the top corner, 1-1 and it stayed that way till HT. The second half started slow, a couple of efforts off target from both before Hamburg were reduced to 10 men in the 69th minute, Stepanenko lunged into Marchisio with a dangerous challenge, catching Marchisio just above the knee, and there was no question what colour card was coming. The red card actually galvanised Hamburg and on 81 minutes that man Willian was at it again, receiving Gabbiadini's lay off he struck a fantastic curling effort into the top corner from the edge of the box, 1-2. Sassuolo were unable to mount any fightback and Hamburg leave with the 3 points, Sassuolo lose top spot as their winless run extends to 5 games.

Division 3

Celta Vigo V Southampton

2 sides with eyes firmly on promotion met at The Balaidos as Celta and Southampton battled it out, Celta looking to keep track with the leaders in Division 3 whilst Southampton holding the last play off spot. In truth the game was a poor affair, a stop start match where the referee was kept busy. 35 minutes in before the first effort on target, Falcao firing at the keeper from 15 yards out when he should off hit the back off the net, yellow cards outnumbered shots on target in the first half, 0-0 HT. The home side started better in the second period Gotze feeding Llorente who forced Cragno into the save of the match, going full length to tip the ball to safety. The game fell back into mediocrity soon after as the home side continued to put the challenges in to stop any chance of the game breaking into anything resembling a football match. Gotze produced the games real talking point with 5 minutes left when he took Gago from behind with a vicious challenge, he could of had 2 red cards it was that filthy. The game played out with no further action and the drab affair came to an end to everyone's relief. FT 0-0 Celta stay 3rd whilst Southampton hold on to their 7th place spot.

Division 4

Stuttgart V Crystal Palace

Stuttgart welcomed Palace in this Division 4 encounter looking for their 4th successive win, Palace with 1 win in their last 5 games. The game was a tactical affair, the best effort of the first half on 40 minutes when Cabaye curled a fantastic effort from 20 yards out which Asenjo went full length to tip it on to the post before quickly collecting at the 2nd attempt. HT 0-0. The second half followed the same pattern, shit for those watching, with the game springing into life on 67 minutes, Arao split the defence with a peach of a ball which Santini latched on to , took a touch before slotting past the keeper however celebrations were cut short by a snide offside flag. Crystal Palace's best effort almost won the game for them, 76 minutes in when a deep cross was nodded down by Babacar to Sansone who smashed it towards goal, it looked destined to burst the net before Pope showed all his reflexes to get a hand to it, Divine intervention from Pope. That was it basically for the game, bored me to death watching it and I'm feeling the pain writing about it. 0-0 FT. Stuttgart stay 4th, Palace remain 10th. Thank Christ that is over with.

Division 5

Augsburg V Atalanta

Finally we get to Division 5 as Augsburg looking to continue making moves towards promotion entertain Atalanta who have suffered 3 straight defeats after being top themselves only a few weeks back. Ivan Anic's side took just 9 minutes to take the lead when Ramirez played a high ball over the static Atalanta defence which wionderkid Felix met with a delightful lobbed effort which dipped over the stranded keeper and went in off the post, unbelievable finish, 1-0. The visitors were almost level when Guendouzi fed a wonderful ball through to Cornet who struck the ball first time but unfortunately the well struck effort was straight at Masip in the home goal. HT 1-1. Guendouzi provided Unal with another great opportunity in the early stages of the second half, the striker flashing in an effort at the near post which the keeper got down well to save. on 59 the Italians were so close to levelling, Cornet feeding Theo Hernandez who hit a low drive which had Masip beaten before it smashed against the outside of the post. On 65 minutes the hosts went 2-0 up as Ramirez again providing the assist, this time linking up with Mendez who's quick shot caught out Berisha who was unable to get down to it in time and the ball sneaked past him, 2-0. That knocked the stuffing out of the visitors as Felix, Jordan and Esgaio threatened to make it a more convincing scoreline. FT 2-0 and Augsburg are up to 2nd as Atalanta drop to 7th after their 4th straight defeat.

In the Hot Seat with....

Today we welcome Arsenal manager Michael Bowes to the hot seat, He's been at the gunners since season 2.

You've been at Arsenal since season 2 of T100, do you feel you should of won something by now? tough question Norman. I came in the second season so missed the first season's transfer but was left with relatively a untouched Arsenal side apart from Ramsey. If this was an English Championship i would say 100%, but realistically Arsenal are probably around 10th in terms of the team in division 1 so i feel like I've done well to keep them in the division every season. We never gone far in the cups as I'm always a manager who concentrates on the league but i agree, we certainly should have won or came close to winning something by now.

You've built a very talented young squad, have you ever been tempted to sway away from the youth build for a couple of higher rated older players to push you on to that next level? i have swayed away to a degree at times although it all depends on what's available. Deals in T100 are extremely tough as i feel everyone over values their players, its also been hard for me as I've built a team where 80% of the players im more than happy to keep and they kend to be the players which everyone asks for.

Your scouting, here and in other GW's is outstanding work, how long do you spend checking out players? kind words Norman - every weekend i have a look around the real life results using the Flash Scores app on my phone. You can see lineups etc on there which tends to point me to potential risers etc. I would say i scout a couple of hours a week so probably not much more than the standard manager in here.

You've just lost at Barcelona last night, is there anyone who can stop Scott again this year? honest answer Norman. No. Scott has proved season on season how good of a manager he is. I would love to see how well he would do without Messi but to be fair to Scott he has kept a core team pretty much season on season and he's reaping the rewards.

14th in the table, what are you're objectives this season? Is it just staying up? my season objectives are always to better the season before. I've let my eye of the ball over the last couple of seasons as I've concentrated on more social active game worlds and more just used T100 for the competitiveness in trying to muscle together transfers

Real life club and aims for the season? Manchester United is my real life club - aims for this season has got to be top 6, i really think we should stick will Ole. We're in a transition period and he has only been given 1 transfer window, we need in invest heavily in packing the midfield out, untill that is rectified then we can begin to think we can challenge the top 4.

 What would you do to improve T100? it needs to become more active, myself included. Whether thats through Facebook, news feed or the blog. My pet hate is managers letting bids rot though, i dont agree with it one bit and shouldn't be happening in a GW like T100, i would give out stern punishment for proof that a bid has been left for a certain amount of days. If managers haven't logged in for 3/4 days then T100 also shouldn't be for them

Thanks to Michael for his time, and good luck for the rest of the season.

That is all for this issue, time is getting the better of me here, as always my inbox is open for gossip of any kind for the mag, Seen a bit increase in news feed posts which is great lets keep it going.

Hey guys, welcome to Issue 8 of the T100 blog, I'm gonna sound like a broken record but I want to hammer home a plea to all managers in T100, Can we all try to at least answer internal bids asap? I've had a few messages after last weeks issue confirming I wasn't alone in being slightly miffed at the time it takes for managers to respond to some bids. I must stress that this is only the minority of clubs but it does seem like we have a lot of sleepy managers here, In such a way they log on pick a team but don't really do much else. I would love to see some increased posts on the feed, FB page or even a few taking the time to throw up an update post on the blog, How's your season going etc? In terms of a full GW we are great, 100 managers in here all sticking to rules and getting along mostly but having joined another GW recently the content of managers on here compared to that is strikingly obvious. That's not to say all GW's must be massively hands on but there's a few guys in here who we simply don't here from, would it kill people to really spend 5 minutes writing a update on how there team are doing? Anyway what started as a plea has turned into a mini rant so on to this weeks issue..

Division 1

Bayern V Anderlecht

Two of the GW's top managers met at the Allianz Arena as Mike Scallotti's Bayern welcomed Gursimran Brar's Anderlecht in this Division 1 fixture. The match itself didn't take long to get going just 9 minutes were on the clock when Bayern were ahead, Coutinho was the driving force behind the goal, his silky movement took him beyond the Anderlecht back line before he squared a ball across the area for Insigne to slot past the keeper in off the post to give Bayern the advantage, 1-0. The lead lasted just 4 minutes as Anderlecht hit back quickly, Martial floated a cross into the box which Griezmann chested off to Dembele who hit a sweet right footed volley which flew in to the top corner of Ter Stegen's goal, 1-1 and just 13 minutes on the clock. The game continued in a fashion which reminded me of a tennis match, both sides having a shot then the other as Insigne and Icardi had efforts for the home side either side of Ter Stegen saving from Ndombele and Martial. Then the matches big taking point on 34 minutes, Griezmann was attempting to break free of Ngolo Kante who had a few nibbles at his international team mates ankles when Griezmann swung a elbow at Kante, it caught the midfielder plum in the face and it was an instant red card, the next international break will be interesting for sure when they next meet up. HT 1-1. Bayern were again straight out the blocks at the start of the second half, just 3 minutes had gone when Eriksen won a free kick out wide, he took it himself and crossed in to the area where it was met by Icardi who glanced a header past the despairing dive of Onana, 2-1 and the 10 men had a battle to get back into the game here. Bayern played it slow after that, moving Anderlecht around whilst keepeing the ball and it was over 30 minutes before they had the next shot on target, Onana saving easily from Fabinho's effort. The host's survived a huge scare on 84 minutes when from a corner Dias found Christensen unmarked at the back post but he inexplicably missed when it seemed easier to score and that was Anderlecht's chance gone of a draw. FT 2-1 and Bayern get their first league win in 4 games whilst it's now 6 without a win for Anderlecht who have no problem scoring but can't keep it out at the other end. Good game.

Division 2

Manchester United V Standard Liege

Manchester United, just as in real life haha, were looking to pull away from the relegation zone after their 4 match unbeaten run was sure to be tested by Standard Liege looking to take top spot in Division 2. The hosts started well and just 6 minutes had been played when Caleta-Car launched a long ball wide to Tsyyankov who ran at his man, he cut inside Ordiozola before letting fly from 20 yards, the ball flew in at the near post leaving the keeper with no chance, 1-0. 20 minutes passed with little action on either goal before a moment of genius levelled the game up, Jankto played the ball to Paqueta who dropped a shoulder and glided past 2 challenges before lifting his head, he noticed Areola slightly off his line and with a magic touch of his right boot chipped the keeper from 22 yards out sensational goal, 1-1. 2 goals of sublime quality in an otherwise drab first half. HT 1-1. The second half was a slow burner too, 58 minutes had passed before the first shot of note, Diagne letting fly with a powerful effort before Audero got across well to save it. On 63 minutes the visitors led and it was another tidy finish. Jankto again with the assist as he lofted a ball into the box Lemar took it on his chest before lobbing the ball over the top of the out rushing Areola, 1-2. Standard were taking control of the match and Areola was becoming overworked in the home goal and was forced into saves from Jankto and Lemar just after the 2nd Liege goal. Man United's final effort of the game came on 75 minutes just as Liege were making a triple sub, the confusion allowed Man United to break and Doucoure almost beat Audero with a low drive but the keeper got down well to save. Liege had further chances to see off the game but Areola earned his wages by saving from Dahoud and Under to keep the scoreline respectable. FT 1-2 and Liege had hit the summit, Man United will be looking to bounce back and maintain their recent good form to drag themselves away from the bottom end of the table.

Division 3

Sevilla V Chievo

Both sides came into this game on 13 points and looking to move away from the bottom end of the table, The result however led to the resignation of one manager. Chievo took the game to their opponents and took the lead on 8 minutes after a defensive mix up. Boufal taking advantage of a poor clearance to lay the ball into Elyounoussi who slipped the ball beyond the keeper who had no chance, 0-1. The host's were in disarray and were almost 2-0 down immediately after as Elyounoussi found Wilshere in space and he let fly with an effort which just went wide. The warning wasn't heeded though and on 18 it was 2-0, Wilshere was fouled on the edge of the D on the 18 yard box, he stepped up and drove an unstoppable effort which almost broke the net, 0-2 and the home fans were not happy at all. Neto in the home goal then saved from Mitrovic and Hojbjerg as the Italians looked to finish this game off before half time. De Jong managed to get a shot away for Sevilla on 39 minutes in a rare break from defending but it wasn't really threatening a goal. On 43 minutes it was 3-0 as Iheanacho held the ball up well before squaring to Willems who spotting Neto just off the line curled a lovely effort over and above the keeper into the top corner of the goal. This prompted a mass walk out by the home fans, whether that was for a half time San Miquel or an early exit who knows. HT 0-3. The second half started and the majority of fans had returned but there were noticeable gaps in the crowd that weren't there before HT, the home side straight back defending as Hojbjerg forcing Neto in to a save which took two attempts, the confidence draining from the home side. It was all one way again in the second half as Hojbjerg, schullp and Maddox all tested Neto. The away side had taken the foot off the pedal and played within themselves for the remainder of the game, not trying to embarrass the home side no more, it finished 0-3 with Sevilla manager Tony Harman called to the Stadium Monday morning for an emergency meeting. It was announced to the waiting press that Tony Harman tendered his resignation after failing to convince the owners he was the man to take the club forward, A search for his replacement is underway.

Division 4

Celtic V Udinese

Celtic and Udinese both came into the game in Division 4 in form, Celtic unbeaten in 3 whilst the visitors were unbeaten in 5. Celtic Park was almost at capacity. The first half was genuinely awful, just 1 shot and a yellow card was all we had to show for 45 drab minutes, Firpo with the shot on 15 minutes which just drifted over the bar and Bamba with the yellow card, 0-0 HT and we all needed a drink after that. The second half was a much better affair, just 5 minutes in and Celtic had the lead, a free kick on the edge of the box was superbly hit under the jumping wall by Paulinho and it went in off the post, 1-0. The Italians responded well and Viera had the home keeper worried on 57 minutes but his optimistic effort just went wide. Just after the hour mark it was all square Bamba controlled the ball and slipped a lovely ball around the corner to Haberer who drove a first time shot past the dive of Ochoa in the home goal, 1-1. The home side went back up the other end and twice James Forrest on his debut almost made the dream return to Celtic Park, Firstly linking up with Paulinho his effort looked goal bound before a great stop from Benitez forcing it on to a post and it was cleared to safety by Darmian and secondly after good work from Alario he made benitez scramble across his goal to save the hosts going 2-1 ahead. With 6 minutes left on the clock the away side won it when Zobnin treated us to a second great free kick of the game, he hit it with swerve and dip and it flew over the wall and dipped just under the bar to give the Italians all 3 points. FT 1-2 and a good win for udinese who extend their unbeaten run to 6 games.

Division 5

West Ham V Torino

West Ham and Torino faced off at The London Stadium with both sides sitting just outside the play off spots in Division 5. The home side made a superb start after just 3 minutes they were ahead, a lovely mazy run by Kalu on the left was follwed by a driven cross which was met emphatically by Kramaric with an unstoppable volley which was beyond Zieler before he could even move, no sweeter sight than a volley rifled into the net, 1-0. The hammers continued to press and Zieler saved well from Walcott and Kramaric to prevent it being 2-0.The away side stunned the home side on 24 minutes scoring from their first shot of the game, Quaison found Loic Remy who curled a effort in to the top corner from 15 yards out, 1-1. That give Torino more hope and twice Ruddy was forced into saves before half time from Mena and Giovinco to prevent the Italians taking a ht lead, HT 1-1. On 57 minutes the stadium erupted after a strong challenge from Mevlja on Quaison, a huge melee followed with handbags all over the shop how the referee ended up showing just the one yellow card is anyone's guess. The dust up over the challenge seemed to end up with both sides holding what they had for the remainder of the game until the 84th minute when Carlos Tevez linked up with Kramaric and got off a scuffed effort which somehow Zieler failed to get over and stop as the ball trickled over the line, 2-1 and the hosts had snatched the win. FT 2-1 and both sides are now level on 18 points, a decent win for the hammers to make it 4 wins out of 6 whilst Torino have failed to pick up maximum points in their last two games, however its been a good start to the season for them.

In the Hot Seat with...

Today we welcome the PSG manager Malcom( MisterTRX) to the latest in the hot seat feature..

You have had real success at PSG after replacing previous manager Gary Naylor, how pleased are you with how things have gone? Thanks Norman, Gary left a decent squad and not all the fans were happy with my appointment however I promised promotion back to the big time and that's what happened. This meant some hard decisions to build a squad capable not only of promotion but then challenging in D1. This season we have broken into the top 4 so couldn't be more pleased.

Just how far can you take PSG after your impressive start to this season, was this start what you expected? To be honest I thought that we would have a sticky start. Anyone who has looked at my sides in the past , know that I always hope to use squad depth to come on strong in the second half of the season. Having beaten 2 of the big 5 from last season we fear nobody but we still have to face Barcelona twice so top 3 has to be our aim.

As PSG are your 5th club in T100 have you found your home now? Without boring you with a history lesson, I never really wanted to leave any of the clubs that I did and mostly they have suffered greatly following my exit. Fiorentina I got into D1 and it was always going to be tough but they were then run into the ground and no one has got to grips with them since. I did a good job with Sporting Lisbon and after promotion left them as promoted and promotion candidates again , however Valencia was a club in need . They remain my only disappointment in T100. I had built a great squad but should have played to my strengths to keep them up .. Then onto Celta, this time a slow burn followed by back to back promotions. Sad to leave but Dale is doing a great job with them now.
PSG is the club I have been waiting for a big side with big ambitions. I will stay as long as they want me.

 A lot of your higher rated players are now the wrong side of 30, how do you plan for the future? Good question: I've never been youth obsessed and see the value in an older head. We have some great young talent coming through in Weigl Coman Harit Bruma and some great youth prospects. When I see how we finish this season I will decide if I need to cash in one or 2 golden oldies to attract in a younger player who wants to start at a top club

 If you could improve one thing in T100 what would it be? This may seem radical but I think maybe in a years time, we need to reboot the game world with every manager swapping teams. I would put the highest ranked manager with the lowest ranked team unless the lower ranked manager wishes to stay . I think this would stir things up and freshen up the challenge for the old timers. But people would need plenty of notice. Thanks for all your hard work and best wishes to all my friends in this great GW.

Thanks for your time Malcom
