Got through some more matches and going pretty well. Zarate is completely out of form, Floccari continues to be injured and Kozak was really ████ in his only game and Rocchi's suspension meant we lost 1-0 to Roma in our last game. Here are the results since my last update.


Lazio 0 - 1 Napoli - Dominated the match but just couldn't score
Fiorentina 0 - 3 Lazio - A great win with Zarate, Bresciano and Gonzalez scoring
Lazio 3 - 1 Bologna - Rocchi with a double and Ledesma with a penalty as we easily won
Lazio 2 - 1 Ascoli (Italian Cup) - Wasn't a great performance but goals from Ledesma and Matuzalem secured the win
Parma 0 - 2 Lazio - Our good run of form continued with another Rocchi double
Lazio 1 - 3 Palermo - Not the result expected as Bresciano scored the only goal against his former club
Sampdoria 1 - 3 Lazio - Back on track with a third Rocchi double as Oar scored his first goal for the club as well
Lazio 0 - 1 Roma - Never had a chance with Zarate and Kozak up front. Kozak messed everything up and a 1-0 loss seemed a fair scoreline. We defended well.


So this is how the table looks.

1st: Inter
2nd: Roma
3rd: Juventus
4th: Udinese
5th: Palermo
6th: Lazio
7th: Napoli
8th: Genoa


A match against AC Milan now which we should win, with AC Milan having a shocking season in 14th place.
 
Finally got a win yesterday, 4-1 against a 10 men side. After a few losses/draws, it was great to win again. I'm pushing for the EURO Cup which would be a great achievement for my club.
 
Up to 8th with Hereford; saw on SSN earlier that in RL they are 23rd. Makes this even sweeter while it lasts :)
 
house-mate out of the league cup to notts county at the first hurdle whilst i breeze by sheff wed 4-1
 
I wish I got payed god damn it as I really want to play this. Should be payed ?390 this Sunday if things go as planned. Tbh I should be payed a tad more but I doubt they will.

Really looking forward to giving this a go; think my first game will be Blackpool just for the challenge of it. I have already started a trial game as Blackpool where I'm 14 at the end of December which I think is pretty good but the amount of leagues in the demo is way too few for me to bother carrying on from here in.
 
Only a small update but Lazio have confirmed the sale of Mauro Zarate for 7.75M pounds upfront to Man Utd which will go through on the 1st January, while they have also confirmed the signing of Ukrainian striker, Andriy Voronin as his replacement for 5M pounds over 4 years. Andriy Shevchenko and Michael Owen were on high priority but none were willing to join the club even with the low selling price of around 2.7M for Shevchenko and 2.2M for Owen.

And I also managed to beat AC Milan 3-2, Zarate finally finding some form with 2 goals while Rocchi scored the other and I defeated Catania 3-1 with goals for Dias on season debut, Rocchi and the other goal was an own goal. Now sitting in 5th position while AC Milan are down in 17th.
 
New year and rushes for new transfers are going on. Lazio have lost Zarate who managed 2 doubles in 5 league games after the confirmed transfer to Man Utd. Voronin has also made the move to Lazio while now Lazio have also confirmed the free transfers of Jose Javier Barkero (Celta), Carlo Cudicini (Tottenham) and Piotr Trochowski (HSV) which will go through on the 1st July, when their contracts expire. Offers for Urby Emanuelson (Ajax), Joshua King (Man Utd) and Nicola Sansome (FC Bayern) have also been made but talks with other clubs mean no deal have been made yet.

Here are the recent results.

Lazio 3 - 1 Chievo - Goals for Diaz and Rocchi as well as an own goal as we record a comfortable victory
Lazio 0 - 1 Catania - Poor result in the Italian Cup 4th qualifying round but oh well.
Cagliari 1 - 3 Lazio - Easy victory with a double for Zarate and Gosling scoring his first ever goal off a header on a corner
Lazio 1 - 1 Juventus - Managed to record a draw after our woeful poor home form with 3 losses at home in 4 games before that. Goal to Rocchi
Catania 0 - 1 Lazio - We didn't play great and an own goal was the only reason we won as we move to 5th on the Serie A ladder as we now have 7 wins and a draw in 9 games away from home this season, the best of everybody
 
In some great form. Joshua King signed a new contract with Man Utd but we managed to sign Urby Emmanuelson and Nicola Sansome.

Udinese 2 - 2 Lazio - Rocchi's first half double was cancelled out by Forestieri's double in the second half as we shared the points.
Lazio 2 - 0 Lecce - Voronin scores in his second match while Rocchi scores the other
Genoa 1 - 2 Lazio - Radu put the ball into his own net in the 12th minute but goals from Gonzalez and Rocchi yet again gave us a win
Lazio 4 - 2 Bari - Matuzalem with a stunning hattrick, all goals from outside the box while Ledesma scored the other as we raced away to a 4 goal lead but they pulled 2 back before the end of the game
Lazio 3 - 0 Inter - Best performance of the season, no doubt. Tommy Oar scored the first to add to his only goal before that game, before Rocchi scored one and made it 2 assists (after setting up Oar's goal) by setting up Floccari for a chip over the keeper as now Rocchi has 15 goals and 5 assists in 20 league games and to increase our unbeaten run to 8 games.


We are now in 3rd position, behind Inter in second who moved down from first after we beat them. Juventus are on first with 53 points, with Inter on 51 and I fall 6 points behind them on 45, with a 5 point lead over Napoli in 4th. AC Milan are in 16th.
 
Second crash for me, playing with Chelsea, the game suddenly crashed and left a error note saying "A serious crash has occured. A copy of it has been sent to Crash Dumps folder". And its the demo. And its pre-season.

Any Suggestions?
 
Would any of the English guys be up for a good ol' network game over the christmas period? We tried one over summer but never quite made it work past a few goes. Would be good to do the Premiership playing with a club outside of the Top 4.
