this is getting like pantomime now. Oh no it isn't.

Good luck with trying to get everyone else to do your job for you. You need all the help you can get

You've had 1 other rough away game this season against an understrength Galaxy who predicted wrongly, played with the same effort and only lost by 13.

Your home games will always be tough on opponents. But you have had an easy ride with nobody playing a normal against you other than me. You'll notice that the rest of the games people use more effort against each other regularly. Galaxy in competitive games has faced 4 normal v tie this season, in my opinion he has done the best given the opposition this last 7 games. Tigers faced 2.

It is true, and when people throw games against you and play tough games against the rest of us, it only makes it harder on the rest. Deny all you like, it's the truth. And before you go there, no I am not asking for help. I am asking that people stop 'helping' you.

Anyone can do with their players what they like, then there are ways to win, and ways to win.
Being a game, it's important to compete everything, in my opinion (I don't think I've ever thrown a game), not fun.

In any case, Tata, you have a nice group, don't get yourself dirty with cocky statements, in forums that's not exactly popular.

Or maybe something like this is what's needed to activate the thread :)

People aren't resting players in those three games. At the start of the season, you TIE to build enthusiasm. You going to do more than TIE against the champs away from the home at the start of the season? Really?

So that's los mikitos cleared.

Galaxy gave me a good game.

Third game was SOV who used GDP correctly and their best players but TIE'd. I think they tried harder than Galaxy to be honest, as they got the GDP correct!

4th game we know about

5th game Lithuania had seen enough of his team and blown it up. I actually won that game by 100 with my third string.

6th game MDogs prioritised an away game against Tigers and his cup game, you need to look at that cup game.

7th game Tigers prioritised an away game against DSA and his cup game.

Honestly, it's just schedule, priorities and luck of the draw behind the PD, not teams rolling over. You really aren't correct in this and it's sad you can't take my word for it.

I reply to add, as an objective fact, throwing games is not intelligent either: It gives more money to the lucky chosen one, then more salary, then more game throwers, then more titles. Endless cycle here!
It damages own teams and the rest at the same time.

And the last one to blame is the tall fella.

I totally agree.

Please don't get me wrong, It is not like I am unhappy with Elmacca about all this. Personally I enjoy competing against him.

Likewise, although I am getting a little irritated at your interpretation of my first seven games.

Surely, we can all agree my team is vastly overrated, I can't manage for toffee and that the only reason for my whopping PD is that I just have had all the luck in the world with everyone's schedule this season!!!

Interesting thread, I'll be playing my trainees, managing minutes and building enthusiasm against both of you....and probably the other top 2 sides too...
It's a much bigger priority for me to stay in EBBL than worry about whos winning the title....

I don't see why you would conclude that. Nor that my interpretation of your first games is unfair. People respect your team for a reason however I do not believe that justifies playing take it easy against the team all the time.

I invite you to do the same analysis on Galaxies games and see how despite the much greater effort people including myself have used against him, he has done extremely well. It is illusionary to assume everyone takes it easy in the first few games to build enthusiasm, I didn't, Los Miskitos, Galaxy, Lith (although I am not sure given his team he counts). So 4 of the 8 teams in blue side played at least 1 normal in the first 2 games. The fact you have faced all your games against a take it easy except 1 is actually unique. I realise that you feel your games are being misinterpreted, but I am comparing them not interpreting them.

Definitely agree with Sabre, everyone can do what they like. But equally, people are free to criticise others.

I'm on the weak side of course, but I didn't autoTIE the first few games. There's also a world of difference between taking it easy and playing scrubs. Perhaps we should have another effort level below taking it easy. Perhaps give up without any effort whatsoever.

So, Galaxy, played normal vs Tigers, lost
Tie'd at home against me, lost
got knocked out of the cup.
Tied and won against the division's two weakest teams.
Tied every game since then and beaten two teams who played patient against him. and Los Mikitos by two points.

He's doing quite well, but some of his opponents have made poor tactical choices. Not looking at you monkeys.
