I know they've been relegated and that, but Sheffield United continuing to have Oli McBurnie and David McGoldrick as their two main strikers is mental.

Matchday 33 - 2062

October 2062 - Internationals A good point in Armenia, and an alright showing against NI, although obviously we still lost. I'm pleased that we're holding our own against some pretty ok sides, and although my style of play would make Dick Campbell proud, it seems to be fine. Two more games in the group, Armenia at home and Slovakia away. We're in with a shot at staying in League C, which would be a pretty decent achievement. This is Latvia's first time in League C since, 2048, when they lost 5 and drew one, and if we can get one more point we'll match our best ever showing in this league through the save - which was in 2024...

Matchday 32 - 2062

September 2062 Worst month of the season so far. They'll be no cup glory for us, as we failed to take our chances and got put out by RFS. A bit unlucky, but oh well. League form was mixed, the draw against RFS is decent, as is the thumping win over Super Nova, but a very disappointing loss at home to Ventspils. So anyway, 15 points to play for still and we have a seven point advantage. Three wins will do it. It would take a complete collapse from us for us to not be champions, but I'm not taking anything for granted. Latvia That Slovakia result might well be the best of my Latvia reign so far. It's certainly either that or the draw in Moscow. We rode our luck a bit, and Makreckis has a great game in goals, but we just about deserved to win. Unfortunate not to follow it up with at least a draw against the failed statelet, their goal was fairly late on but again they were on top for most of the game so fair enough really. A solid start. We have Armenia away and NI at home next month.

LTHV v Linlithgow Rose - currently 2-1 to Rose at half time. Very scrappy opening 15, then Rose took complete control for a bit although the only moment of real quality was their second goal. Vale got one from a corner with the last kick of the half. Main complaint is the referee who has dished out 5 yellow cards, four of which seem to have been for dissent. Certainly wants to make sure everyone remembers that he’s here. Other than him it’s been relatively enjoyable. Edit: ended up 2-2, Vale scored with the last kick of the ball. Rose should have had it won within the first few minutes of the second half, missing two absolute sitters.

And that pass from Pogba was utter filth

Leeds fans sound like they’re enjoying themselves. Some hit for the goal to be fair

August 2062 Very good month, again, but I'm left thinking what might have been from the two games against Riga. We were 2-0 up at half time in the first one, and completely chucked it, and then the second game we conceded in the 93rd minute from a corner. Had we won both of those, I'd be saying the title was all but won. As it is, we're 10 points clear - although I would expect that to drop down to eight again once RFS play their game in hand. We have one game against RFS in the lague left, and one against Ventspils, but that's it in terms of games against the big guns. I think we should be winning the title.

Hahahahahaha that fucking defending

Were the Brentford fans singing that "Scotland get battered" song just there?

Oh, also I signed this boy - Alexey Zolotarev. He's an aging Ukrainian centre forward, and he's clearly lost any pace he ever had but he's a very good finisher, both from range and close in, and just a very good technical player. He'll also provide some competition for Keirans up front, which I haven't really had prior to now, so that's always handy.

July 2062 Really straightforward progression in the cup, before our unbeaten run came to an end in a really frustrating manner. Don't get me wrong, we absolutely deserved to lose the game, but we also missed a 95th minute penalty. Made up for it by making RFS look really, really ordinary as we extended our lead over them, and the Daugavpils derby was another walk in the park for us. We've extended our lead again, despite the loss to Ventspils, and now sit eight points clear. Obviously there's a lot of games left still, but we're putting ourselves in a very good position.

Mind the Belgium team that scraped two narrow wins against my utter dross Latvia side? They've just won the World Cup. Also, the absolute fucking state of Iraq's campain... Love the idea of a load of Iraq fans travelling to China for the World Cup, and being treated to that. Indonesia also managed to get through the group stages, and then took a 9-0 off Spain, while Congo were beaten 8-0 by Craotia.

June 2062 A quiet month, due to the World Cup being on, but another really, really decent month. Admittedly, all of these are sides that we should beat every single time we play them, but pleasing to have actually done it. And a couple of dodgy results for Riga and RFS means that we're now seven points ahead at the top of the table. Lovely. We also finalised the signing of Romeo Hoxha, a Kosovan centre half. I agreed to sign him at the start of the season, but he couldn't join until now for whatever reason. He's 18, and has the makings of a very decent centre half while already being good enough to play in the Latvian leagues, so that's nice. He joined after all my games this month so hasn't played yet, but will go straight into my squad going forward.

May 2062 A remarkably good month. Still can't quite believe it. We were excellent in the first three games against what should be the best three sides in the league. Well, we were pretty poor against Ventspils for 70 minutes and then outstanding for the last 20. The own goal they scored for us to equalise was something special though. Scraped through in the cup playing a load of fringe players, and the rest did us good as we had to work very hard for the wins against Lokomotiv and Liepaja. Only let down was the draw with Jelgava, but they just seem to be out bogey team at the minute. A draw isn't bad anyway. Leaves us ten games unbeaten in the league. And with that, we shoot up to the top of the table. I don't expect to stay here, but to be in the title fight almost half way through the season is an excellent effort from what I had thought would be a squad capable of challenging for the top four at a push. I'm playing Super Nova in the cup as well, so we have an good chance at a semi final there and then who knows.

A fairly kind draw for Riga in the Latvian Cup there...

Fucking hell

Galatasaray’s last two goals have been lovely, to be fair.

Pish

It’ll be that Marcao for me. c**t looks like he’s someone’s pal along to make up the numbers

When did Foster stop being ‘Ricky’ and start being ‘Richard’?

Just fire the ball on top of the keeper every chance you get, he looks absolutely Barkas-level pish.

SCENES

f**k sake. Through the legs and all
