Hello my name is Kev aka Whiskybarnes123 I have been a member of XBLN for sometime now. I have had the great honour of being involved in some great gaming nights.and many memorable seasons of football action either on PES or now FIFA.

There has been some amazing highs and some embarrasing lows! I have been promoted a few times been to a playoff final and won it!,three relegations!and even some midtable gayery!. And I also have the honour of going a whole season without winning a match!. So I know how to judge a player especialy a crap one!,here is my verdict on the managers in my division.



Manager: Toon Ultra Team: Valencia Verdict: Champion
The Toon,The Geordie whatever you call him, he is one hell of a player.Scored twenty-six goals in eleven matches and only conceded nine.Sitting in second place at the moment with everything still to play for and catching yours truly up in 1st place. The title could go to the wire,but if I was a betting man thou I would bet on ToonUltra lifting the title.

Manager: Grateful Ghoul Team: Liverpool Verdict: Wooden Spoon Candidate
Now me and the Ghoul go way back having played together in the old PES6 Leagues. Plus last year we shared the honour of being relegated together!. So what can we expect from the Ghoul having played eleven games lost ten and only won one!(devilshaircut01 you should be discusted at losing to the Ghoul!).On a personal note I want my bud to improve but until he stops playing Modern Warfare 2 to get some serious training done on FIFA,he is heading no where but for the wooden spoon!.

Manager:Spoonz74 Team: Bordeaux Verdict: Might last the pace, but could fall behind if the goals dry up further.Top 5 at the least.
Tight as a ducks arse! springs to mind when I think of old Spoony!. Here is a little amazing fact for you statto`s out there. The Bordeaux defence has only been breached in three games this season and only eight times this season the lowest in the league. Amazingly four of the eight goals he has conceded this season where against Stoater85!!!. One downer thou is Spoony does not score to many,so if he is to maintain his push for the title more goal chances will need to be created and converted

Manager: BradBaldo Team: Seville Verdict: On his knees
One win all season against Nuuthatch is nothing to brag about!. Goals flying in from all angles its been a tough season so far. The one bright point has to be there is only half a season left to go!. On a more optimistic mark everyone loves a fighter,so my words of advice Bradbaldo is go out there hack the B*****DS to death,they cant score if there on the floor!.

Manager: DevilsHaircut01 Team: Bayern Munich Verdict: Play Off Final
Ah the Devil, the cheeky chappy of the division!,the self proclaimed winner before a ball was even kicked!.Sitting pretty in 4th place but blows hot and cold.Shame his defence is looser than my old dear after a vinderloo!,the devil is lucky that Frank Ribery has been in such fine form for him this season with eleven goals so far.

Manager:The Living Dead Team: Juventus Verdict: Any higher than 10th would be over performing
If this league was based on banter during games the Living Dead would be up there,but sadly skill comes into it too!. Probably not the best team in the league with having Juventus, Manager wise the team has been performing averagely but shouldnt be involved in a relegation as BradBaldo and Grateful Ghoul should be in there own division Circa 3!.

Manager: Berty44 Team: Lyon Verdict: Darkhorse, could push way into top 3, if not playoffs for sure.
Hammered Yammer316 six nil on the opening day of the season then got thrashed 5-2 by devilshaircut01. On his day Berty can beat anyone. Could be a darkhorse to gatecrash the top three.

Manager: Jimortality Team: Man Utd Verdict: Relegation scrap.
The old man of XBLN with the enthusiam to rival any teenager. Always does the league system proud never misses a game always up to date. This season he even got one of the better teams,who wouldnt want Rooney,Owen and Berbatov to choose from upfront?. Well whats gone wrong?.Well Jim the fact of the matter is you could not score in a brothel! six goals all season! are you trying not to score?!Plus rumoured to want to change clubs. Suprisingly has one of the better defensive records in the league...if only Jim could score.

Manager  Stoater85 Team: Porto Verdict: Plays off at the least.
The Hulk springs to mind when you think of Porto,sixteen goals so far this season.Stoater has an eye for goal,and could quite easily win his game in hand and be in in the top three this division is so close this year. The only weak point for Stoater is,maybe his team is one of the weaker teams in the league. Maybe if he was to get a better team in the transfer window,things could get really exciting.

Manager  HeyMarko1989 Team: AC Milan Verdict: Might make the play-offs
Marko either wins or loses he dont play for a draw!. Six wins,Six defeats.Brave or stupid?, everyone loves a player who goes out all guns blazing. So inconsistent obviously got talent but what will Marko do with it?.

Manager: MuzzyBoy Team: Villareal Verdict: Maybe make the plays off but needs to find his shooting boots.
Hey Muzzy muzzy muzzy(sings along to Kaiser Chiefs Ruby Ruby)sorry I had to do that I love your gamertag Muzzyboy in a none manlove lubed fist kind of way!. Right now thats out the way. Muzzy is having a steady season if he could find the net abit more his season would vastly improve as he actualy has the 5th best defence in the league only letting in 14 goals all season.

Manager: Yammer316 Team: Man City Verdict: Middle-Table but vast Improvement already on previous seasons.
After I was relegated last season I was told Yammer was the whipping boy of XBLN. Well I got news for the person who told me. Its the Return Of The Yammer Baby!(star wars pun intended!). Okay so he aint going to win the league this season but he sure as hell wont be collecting the wooden spoon!.

Manager: Nuuthatch Team: Arsenal Verdict: Midtable Gayer.
The Thatch!, suprisingly doing poorly with a good team in Arsenal. I wouldnt be suprised to see a second half of the season revival...not!.

And then finaly we get to me!..

Manager: WhiskyBarnes123 Team: Chelsea Verdict: I will leave that one to you guys to decide!
WTF!!.How the hell am I in first place,it obviously wont last. But twelve games in and im still undefeated. It makes a nice change being top,but in recent weeks I have had to turn back to old style tactics of kicking shins, busting knee caps to grind out results. As I said a few weeks ago in a match "Butcher Barnes is back!".

Well there you have it, thats my round up for Circa Div2,the best banteristic league on XBLN.

Game on motherf**kers.


See you on the field
