Leipzig press conference

We recently caught up with Hilly89, the Red Bull Leipzig manager to find out his thoughts on transfer deadline day and his targets for the remainder of the season:

First of all, transfer deadline day. How was it for you?
Very enjoyable, seeing the community coming together in the videos and having a laugh with/at each other was great fun.

In your video, you were seen with the Watford manager andybrill89 why was this?
Well, we go back many years to our school days and I was after one of his players. We couldn’t negotiate a deal for Agedulo but managed to bring another player in for less money.

Rams take a Break

So after a busy few days in league 1 action it was the turn of the Rams to take a break as it’s now there rest week we caught up with Derby boss S8TY

So 4 games in last few days resulting in 2 wins a draw and a defeat and now you and the squad are off on a break what are your thoughts:
Yes it’s been a busy few days and started off with a defeat at PP to Gazgrasses Exeter City which in truth was dissapointing after leading 1-0 we found ourselves 1-3 down and although we managed to get it back to 2-3 against a much improved Gazgrass outfit it still felt dissapointing not to get anything out of the game .

The second game at st James park was a different story and to win 5-0 was exceptional especially considering how Exeter have been playing recently both in league and tournaments so that was pleasing. Then onto Sunday evening and the much talked about wooden spoon decider against Andybrills Watford

The first game Derby seemed to be cruising at 3-1 but Andy had other ideas and got back to 3-2 and although the rams had chances to go further ahead Watford scored one of the best goals surely seen this season from a volley outside of the box from a cross...quite fantastic goal
The return game at PP saw the Rams win 4-0 with a much more controlled performance not letting the Watford strikers get many shots away which was pleasing meaning 7 points from 4 games and although my target was 9 from 12 it was pleasing to score 14 goals across the 4 games against I have to say top guys in Gaz and Andy who are both playing well

Halfway home or Far Away

SuitedRecluse gives us his run down of the AGFL season so far.

So we have hit the halfway point in this the First season I have spent in the Premiership. And to be honest the start has been better than expected. I never thought after 12 games I would be sat in 4th place. That is also made slightly better that I have played a couple less than some teams below, but on the other hand I now play all the teams who were tipped for the top spots. As we saw in the first 3 weeks it was imperative Points were put on the board, And that was no different in games 4,5 and 6. Again it was a mixed bag we had IDanger IMouse Jxcquesy and newcomer to the prem ShaunC92.

The Land of the Rising Sun

We caught with our new #AGFL virgin BiGGieD80. He let us know his thoughts on his first ever season on AbsoluteGaming:

Welcome to the Land of the Rising Sun, home to the Yakuza, the weird and wacky, karaoke, the CyberJapan girls, and other girls on top of that.

In April 2020, a little unkown Englishman crossed the entire globe (pretty much), to take over the FC Tokyo franchise. His name was BiGGieD80. He couldn't speak any Japanese whatsoever, however with the way he had plans for the club, he wouldn't need to speak Japanese, he'd need to learn pretty much every other language known to mankind.

BiGGieD80 didn't waste much time selling his squad's top player, but then strategically re-invested that money in starting to rebuild the squad.

Dortmund off to a flyer?

Borussia Dortmund's season in the Premiership starts this Wednesday, as manager Ash Cohen's side take on Shelbourne Wolfsburg side, in a game that sees them only travel a few hours away north. Shelbourne, who was part of the promotion trio from the Championship last season will be looking to make a dent in Dortmund's start to the season, in a season that the fans are waiting in high anticipation.

Manager Ash Cohen, who signed a one season contract with Dortmund a few weeks back, will want to take them on a journey this season that hopefully results in some silverware.

"I'm looking forward to kickstarting our season on Wednesday against an opponent who I know is not going to be an easy game. He came up from the Championship last season, and he'll want to prove that he can mingle in the Premiership this season, so I don't expect a easy game. But we've had a good pre-season and a bit of form, and we need to carry that into the first set of fixtures.
