A place in TLW forum folklore awaits, if you dare take it!

[Stu Monty]

There are many things that can lead to your name going down in the annals of TLW time; maybe you were one of a select band of founding fathers, maybe you started an incredible thread, maybe you unwittingly open up your life to the ridicule of the masses...or....or....maybe you decide to get involved with a famous and hallowed TLW tradition!

 

The TLW Xpert 11 League has been going now for, on and off, the best part of a decade and is a browser game in which you can test your football management wits against some of the most formidable and sexy TLW forumites know to man. You can go head to head with Elmyn Noos, test yourself against the trophy-laden Owen, compete against the mighty Monty or send a letter to the authorities questioning if Kurt eating babies is performance enhancing cheating. So many glamourous and feared foes. RiS also plays.

 

The league will be starting up for another season in the next few days and I thought this was a good time to open the competition up for a bit of new blood and a league expansion. Anyone who likes the sound of a footy management game which you can play in a browser with as much or as little commitment as you want (15mins a couple of times a week could see you fine) then follow the link below and jump right in. You get a fictional team, name it what you want, pick your kit, your stadium name, your player names if you want; then you try and humiliate Skidders and Neko in their comeback seasons.

 

It is time to sort the half-decent chaff from the quite-a-bit-worse chaff. It is time for giants to make a name for themselves and the weak to run and hide.

 

Look, a nettle! Dare you grasp it?

ScouseTapas steps forward as the very epitome of a Spartan of TLW.

 

Application accepted my son. May God have mercy on your soul.

 

 

*Notices he needs to capitalise Tapas' team name and immediately marks him down as trouble*

[Stu Monty]

David "Finchey" Finch is the next man who has stepped up to the plate and picked up the throwm down gauntlet. Good man.

 

Who is going to jump in next and come on board with him (thus allowing me to keep equal size leagues).

 

Get involved people.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Requested.

I thought you were rather partial to Red Men, Stu.

[Stu Monty]

Very good response so far gents. Lots of people clearly taking the opportunity to elevate their TLW status above "that dross" and get themselves a ticket to the members' lounge of forumwide respect.

 

We're at 22 with the new applicants, which is brilliant but is one above a nice 3x7 system and two short of a brilliant 3x8 league system.

 

Who are going to be the two absolute heroes to step in and confirm the expansion of the league into an all new, expanded and massively more virile 8 team league system? They will be held aloft on shoulders, they will be showered with rose petals from the windows above, they will have first daughters (or sons...Rog?) thrown at them.

 

Step up. Get invovled.

I like it, the global appeal is pulling in the North Americans now too. We've got the US, Canada and Japan all represented now.

 

Still waiting for another two applicants to allow Paul McKay to join as part of a three to keep the leagues equal in size.

 

With so many of the forum gliteratti clammering to take part anyone who isn't really has to ask themselves why they are missing out in this once in a lifetime* opportunity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*There will almost certainly be regular opportunities in the future.

[Stu Monty]

With last night and today's additions we now have 23 out of our desired 24 teams signed up for the new season.

 

One final place remains and, temptingly, it is because Owen, the most decorated manager in TLW history, is stepping aside and leaving his club.

 

If you're not sure if you fancy it or not then feel free to sign up and see how you find it; if it's not for you and you want to stop half way into the season then so be it, we'll find a replacement for you and nobody will think the worse of it.*

 

 

 

 

 

 

*I may well remember it and use it to fuel a long and lasting vendetta against you.

[Stu Monty]

Right, the new season has been set up so all you newbies need to jump on and start getting some friendlies going so you can start to get a hang of things.

 

Enjoy.

[SoMuch4Gravity]

I'm taking my complaints to the Ultra League journo's about you running up the score in a friendly! Bastard...

Still room for 1 more?

A bit late to the party gents.

 

But, I'm sure that there will be people who decide it isn't for them and slide away from it in the future, I'll keep you lads in mind for when that happens.

[Stu Monty]

Hazar! Opportunity for writing your own legend arises once more!

 

With the current season now starting to draw to a close I'll be looking to replace a few of the managers that didn't quite hack the utterly sexy pace that was set this season throughout the league and lost interest. Hats off to the newcomers from the last influx that have properly gotten into it and done themselves proud. Neko, Paulie Dangerously, Kopout, Finchy and Banger have all done the business this season. The less said about the efforts of RiS and Noos the better and the jury is very much out on whether The Bitch walks the walk he tries to talk.

 

We're probably going to have about four available teams for the start of the new season so if you fancy getting involved and getting the hang of it in the last 1 or 2 games and give yourself a pre-season then now is the time to act. 

 

The first manager to jump in will be rewarded with a beauty of a team that has been left available for a while but has a good squad and a fortune in the bank for them to play with. Left in good nick by yours truly when I moved on to take over a more promising side.

Not bad for my first season, the only loss was to Monty, who by his own admission has took over a far superior team.

 

I was experimenting in that game anyway.

 

I have enjoyed it though, some good banter(am I allowed to use that word) on the press releases.

 

Get involved people.

Stu's shitting bricks hoping he can close the deal on his season, keep trying, it's worth it. There are some quality teams with want away managers.

Can you play this on Facebook via an iPad?

[Stu Monty]

Dog, after the work I've put into that team you're taking over I never want to see another neg from you (regardless of how often I might suggest you steal dinner money from kids).

 

Good to have you on-board gents.

 

Can Chris D (Diddyman) who has applied for a new team, apply again but just take over one of the existing teams as it makes life a lot less complicated. Ta.

 

Once you take them over you can change the team name, player names, kits etc so it's no different other than you'll probably have a slightly better side than a newly created team.

[Stu Monty]

I have no idea mate but it's a browser game so I'd imagine you can play it fine on an iPad. I could play it on just my phone if I had to.
