Sick as a ParrotGutted. Well, not too gutted actually, as Sankt Pauli - the virtual team I manage over at footiemanager.com - had hardly got out of first gear all season, and ended up in 13th spot, well out of the relegation zone (although, I suspect being Div 2 of a 2 league competition, there's nowhere to be relegated to, so, really, I just avoided the wooden spoon), but nowhere near contending for a spot in the top league. Oh how different this season was from the last, when a strong late run had me lose out on a promotion spot on the goals scored differential. I was sick as a parrot that day, I tell you. This season, thinking some savvy off-season buys had made my team stronger, I was full of hope of securing and holding onto a top 3 spot early, but it seemed my team had other ideas, and totally lacked the ability to finish teams off - we finished the season with the dubious record of being the team with most draws: 16 from 34 games. Thankfully some late season transfers bolstered the squad a bit, and we got some late wins, which augurs well for next season, at least.
