Don't worry, it's early days yet - still plenty of time for you to finish bottom.
That's the spirit!
This week has been a disaster. I knew keeping the Cores on the pitch for that half-time team talk would come back to haunt me.
I've been cunning this week, and selected three Liverpool midfielders. Obviously, this means they'll have a shocker against the mighty Tigers. Ace.
EDIT: Bugger.

Hmm. Things aren't going well at all for the Cores at the moment. Still, at least there's something positive I can cheer myself up with and that's the announcement of September's MacRumors Manager of the Month. First though, the table as it stands for the end of the month...
Bah.
Anyway, the award September's recipient is none other than Brainerd FC's inspirational gaffer pivo6, who led his be-hooped charges to a points total of 196 for the international break affected month.
Well done, pivo6. We sent famous mixed martial arts fighting chap (and son of Brainerd) Brock Larson around to present your trophy but unfortunately you weren't in.

It looks like our managers are suffering mixed fortunes at the moment, with some certainly doing a lot better than others – including October's MacRumors Manager of the Month, none other than The Fightin' Shroom's boss pjlander.
The mould-loving manager has steered his side to second place in the table with an impressive total haul of 244 points for the month.
However, opponents take note – while his players regard pjlander as being a fun guy to work for, they certainly won't be leaving mushroom for complacency over the upcoming months.

I belatedly accept my gong for September. I didn't see the thread until now.
Today saw two of my players miss penalties.
Hopefully, tomorrow will see some better results.BTW Jaffa. Well done on the shirt design. Looks like you got the city logo as the crest, and a Minneapolis sports radio station as a sponsor.
Heh, ta. All MRFL shirts are lovingly fashioned by the high class tailors of Jaffile Row.
As for the Cores, players I'm getting shut of are developing a distressing tendency for scoring lots of goals, while those I'm bringing into the side are generally doing absolutely bugger all, apart from picking up bookings and injuries. Still, at least the fans are behind me - chants of 'Cake out' clearly indicate that they want to be presented with a nicely iced sponge to form the centrepiece of a lavish party in my honour. Oh yes.
If you're going to play Randy Moss, I'd recommend deploying him as a holding midfielder ahead of the back four.
Yes. Yes, it is.
For those who prefer their balls oval and handled by burly men – rather than being round and repeatedly kicked – might I point you in the direction of the MacRumors Fantasy NFL League. I'm sure they'll be able to advise you on your selection headaches.
If you see any of our lot over there (they'll be easy to spot – they'll be wearing numbers no higher than 11 and shorts rather than tight-fitting pants) be a kindly chap and send them back over here. Ta muchly.

Stuff
Today would have been a good day to have Defoe as the captain.
I'm struggling with injuries at the moment. I thought A. Cole was injured so he was on my bench, but he ended up playing and keeping a clean sheet. I had Drogba and he was injured, and Van Persie, and he was injured but I replaced him with Rooney, who scored 0 goals.
There's always next week though eh?
Disappointed also not to be picking up any of these prestigious Manager of the Month awards. I don't think November has been a great month for me either.

Not a good weekend for the Shrooms. Played their rival in the cup match and is getting destroyed. Dropped major points in the league table as well. The manager will get this turned around quickly. He made to many quick-minded adjustments with Van Persie out and really over-reacted. All is not lost. Plenty of time left.
C-mon you Shrooms!
C-mon you Shrooms!
Holy crap, I just saw this. It's been awhile since I logged in. This is totally cool and thanks for the props! I work with the owner of the Fabulous Royals and he was giving me my props as i was making some good transactions and moves.
Love the graphic and the nod! Thanks!
C'mon you Shrooms!
As it happens, only one of us - CarlisleUnited - had Defoe in his team, and luckily for the rest of us that wasn't as captain!
As for the MRMotM - if memory serves you've been close the last few months, but on each occasion you've been pipped to the post. There's always next month - unless that month is June, of course.
And as for the shirts, I'm glad that you're all liking them. I actually have one lined up for everyone taking part, so if you want to see yours you know what you need to do - pick a winning team and win that award!
Time again to announce the MacRumors Manager of the Month, this time for November. Leading the way with a tally of 201 points is none other than ffmiphone.com's gaffer andrewstephenso.
This month's award is especially significant as it's the first time it has has gone to a manager who has already been recognised as Manager of the Month previously. Of course, the MRMotM has only been going four months, but anyway.
Congratulations, andrewstephenso.
