Oggetto: I.1

Very funny. I'll take it as a compliment even though Arsenal are one of my least favourite teams. While we're on the subject, I'd love to see Leicester put a few noses out of joints and win the Premier League. Go the Foxes!

Ok - expecting an easy win - how could I lose 5-1?

You had no luck... And the low importance in 1st half didn't help.

Wasn't the only upset - Trueblue also lost, and Colah match was close.

Your match is incredible really. But Trueblue... He played low importance against high and a very interesting lineup... I think, he was very offensive in away. And Colah played lower importance too.

Luck, intensity and home ground advantage. Each of the games you mentioned, the higher ranked team was playing away. My rule of thumb is when playing away you need an extra level of intensity over what you need at home.

Specifically on your game, conceding three goals in the first ten minutes was the killer. It was always going to be tough to come back form there. Add to that, your substitution at half time weakened your midfield and you also had a player sent off before their final goal. It just wasn't your night.

As someone who seems to follow the Premier League, I'm sure you can find plenty of comparable upsets in recent times.

For me the main thing is that this match was a derby match and involvement with rivalry are on the higher level. In Poland there is this saying "Derby have their own rules"

I honestly did not expect that loss. I knew it would be a low scoring game but a 1-0 loss was not what i had imagined would happen.

It's true saying

I beleive it. You were the stronger one on paper. But I think, the defending was very airy.

That derby thing might explain something. I've always found Bar Reef tougher than they are on paper - I'll keep an eye out for other New South Wales region teams.

I paid 10 credits and did the analysis thing and Bar Reef had a 67% chance of win and I only had a 17% chance of win... So well deserved.. No more low intensity for Bar

Three out of four strong teams bellow my team that doesn't happen too often. This season seems to be full of suprises..
Bar Reef caught me of guard last season so I do set up tactic carefuly with them, no chance to underestimated again.

Hey guys, I'm not trying to encourage that more teams be made manager-less, but Bulldog Academy's manager, lusty, hasn't logged in since the 11th of November, 2015. Is his PRO pack stopping his team from becoming manager-less or is this a system fault?

With pro pack you get 50 days instead of the normal 21 days
