March 2030 We lost our first game of the league campaign away at Connah's Quay, and frankly we deserved to lose it. We nearly stole a point at the end, but it really wouldn't have been deserved in any way. The other two games were straightforward wins without really having to get out of first gear. This month saw something remarkable though... TNS, the ultimate flat track bullies, dropped points at home against 4th place Bangor City. Our Gwynedd Derby rivals doing us a pretty massive favour with that. 2 poinst ahead (thanks Bangor) with 3 games left. Next up, TNS at home. Win that, and the title is all but won. It's probably the single biggest game of the save so far.

February 2030 Wee bit of activity on deadline day, as I let my 2nd choice keeper and 5th choice centre back leave. No real losses, and they'd both asked to leave. Was a shame to see Griffith-Norris go as he was the first signing I made for Bala, but it was time. I also brought in one player, striker Beineon O'Brien-Whitmarsh. He's a bit more experienced than any of my other options, and provides a better back up for McGuire than I have available already. Looks pretty good overall, no glaring weaknesses for a striker, and should be able to grab a few goals once he's up to speed. Disappointing not o beat Connah's, but the rest of the month was exceptional, including another victory over TNS. They went down to 10 men just before half time, and then shut up shop for the rest of the game. Took a really good free kick from Morgan Roberts to break them down, and they had no answers. They also drew with Connah's Quay, which puts us 3 points clear at the top! As I said before, they've still won every single game against anyone outside the top 3, but their record against us and Nomads is W1 D2 L3. We need to make this count and take the title from here.

January 2030 Another perfect month - we absolutely stole the 3 points against Bangor in the league game, and I was quite annoyed that we didn't run up a big score against Monmouth after being 2-0 up in 10 minutes. Still 2nd, but we're starting to pull away from Connah's Quay and hopefully turning it into a 2 horse race.

Welsh League Cup Final - 2030

Welsh League Cup Semi Final - 2030

December 2029 After the massive high of beating TNS, I got unceremoniously dumped out the Welsh Cup. I'd rested a load of my best players to try and focus on the league, and it didn't work. We struggled through the rest of the month, but still ultimately took full points. We got very lucky in the Queens Park game, they were absolutely cruising at 2-1, but then within 5 minutes they gifted us an equaliser, got a man sent off and then conceded our winner, so that was nice of them. We're still not fucking top Genuinely can't believe that we've not lost all season and are still 2nd, only 4 points ahead of 3rd. The only teams that TNS have dropped points against are me and Connah's Quay, against all the other teams it's played 16, won 16, scored 55 and conceded 6. I really think I need to win it this season, my best player is Bradley Walker, who is refusing to sign a new deal and has clubs like Motherwell looking at him. He's not the only one with other clubs trying to sign him, so I think I'll struggle to keep my team together, and don't know if I'll be able to sign similar quality.

November 2029 Lovely stuff - we actually played pretty well in all of these games as well. Need to hope this keeps up/ Bit of a pain in the arse that we've not lost a game yet this season and we're still not top of the table.

October 2029 We really should have beaten Newtown, we missed loads of chances and then they score with their only chance 10 minutes from the end. Complete pain in the arse. Rest of the month went well, despite losing a shootout with Linfield, but we've still to lose a domestic game this season. Assuming we win our game in hand, we'll be back to 3 points behind. TNS took a 3-0 doing off Connah's Quay this month, gives me hope that they're a bit poorer this season and we might be able to mount a challenge.

September 2029 Another unbeaten month, including a draw with TNS where we equalised despite having 10 men at the time. We deserved it as well, which was nice, and we actually managed a handful of good perfromances - TNS, Barry and Connah's Quay. We also beat Alloa delightfully, and remain in the Welsh League Cup, so here hoping we can keep the results coming in. 4 points behind TNS, but still plenty to play for, and we've shown that we have what it takes to give them a good game this season, so who knows. I'm sure this is exactly the kind of mouth watering fixture that the SPFL were looking for when inviting foreign teams into the Challenge Cup...

I don’t think the SNP will splinter after Indy, not immediately at least. They’ll hang on for a few elections under the guise of protecting independence from the Tories, who will presumably campaign to rejoin the U.K. for a bit. After a while, that’ll die down as you have a load of voters who’ve never known anything other than being independent coming in, and most of the ultra-unionist vote will be be dead/in Wales.

August 2029 Well, despite good results on the face of it, we've been pretty unimpressive so far. High point was fighting back from 3-1 down to beat Cardiff Met, but we conceded last minute from a corner against Caernarfon, and then really struggled against Flint. Still, 7 points from 9 so I can't complain too much. Early days.

Transfer Window 2029 Some shite relelased/sold and a load of guys out on loan. I was trying to get rid of a few other players as my squad is pretty bloated, but no takers so oh well. Only 3 players in. We've actually got a pretty good team, by Welsh league standards, so not a huge amount I can do, as guys who'll really improve us won't come.. Anyway, first up is Shaun McGuire, a young striker released by TNS. Shows the gulf between us a bit, he spent 4 seasons at them without making a single appearance and comes in as my best forward - comfortably. He's quick, a good finisher and has good movement off the ball, so I think he'll be a good player for us. Can also play left wing. Adam Henderson joins as our new number 1, from Fraserburgh. He's just overall better than the boy he replaces, nothing special but if he can save us a couple of points a season, then he'll be more than worth it. Gary Parry has a ridiculous rhyming name, but joins as a left back/centre half. WIll play a bit at both positions, He has absolutely nothing going forward, but pretty solid defensively, so that's good.

Our foreign* adventures continue as we head to Clackmannanshire in the Scottish Challenge Cup. Alloa are now in the fourth tier and managed by notorious arsehole Scott Bain, so I'd quite like to beat them.

Europa Conference League, First Qualifying Round 2029 - First Leg A bit better on the away day front this season, as we head to Luxembourg to face Swift Hesperange, a team from a town of 2000 odd people. I think we should be winning this one.

She’s got a job in government despite committing treason, I think she’ll be fine. Johnson and co probably keep her around so they all seem vaguely reasonable and human by comparison.

I can only imagine how fucking shite the candidates they didn’t pick must have been

No doubting that old people generally vote Tory. They must know the Tories do shit like this. Either they aren’t bothered by it, or actively want it.

I’ve met Neil Bibby and he was alright, although he’s a complete nobody so your point still stands.

April 2029 Hmm. I had thought that maybe there was a chance that TNS were starting to slip a little bit - not enough for me to actually win the league yet, but a little bit. Then they dished out an absolute lesson, and dispelled that notion. The final two games went pretty well, don't know what else to say. And that's 2nd place wrapped up. Last season we were 22 points behind TNS, this season it's only 19. Keep going at that rate and we'll be champions in no time! We only actually lost 2 games that weren't against TNS, so that's good. Just need to find a way to not get thrashed every time we play them, and that'll be us sorted.

March 2029 Mixed. Won the 2 games I expected to win, and lost the one I really wanted to win. We were simply outplayed in that game, and really didn't deserve anything. Lead is down to 4 points with 3 games left. Both us and Connah's have TNS still to play, as well as each other. Big final month to grab second coming up.

Aye, and his majority has gone up massively in the 2 elections since then (one of which the Greens didn’t stand in). He won by 13000 votes last time, I think it’s just a seat with a unionist majority which had coalesced around an arsehole. Also this. The Greens are a different political party with a different vision from the SNP. I don’t agree that they should stand aside just because they agree on independence, when there’s plenty they don’t agree on.
