EEFA more bemused than concerned by CAPS GATE

In the aftermath of the scathing all caps attack by Black Cats Manager David Richardson on the EEFA and its unsuitability as an association due to AI games the mood in the EEFA has been more investigatory than worried. “is he talking about us?” was the comment by one member of the chat room, and a fellow Premier league manager like David Richardson, bemused that Richardson would label the EEFA an inactive association despite its strong community sprit and in particular a strong nexus of premiership managers that frequent the EEFA’s official chat room. At time of writing the EEFA premiership race is still wide open after a dog eat dog season that until the bank holiday weekend had as many as 7 or 8 clubs considering the open top bus route to celebrate the league title. Whilst the wider AI inactivity that affects every game world and not just StJohn has seen only 6 clubs in a 20 man league with an unsatisfactory AI game percent tarnish what for many has been the best league campaign in terms of competitiveness and friendly banter.


Whilst this weekend many of the teams are falling away into the also ran category as Real Bierge and Tangerine Dream led by the powerful scoring records of Vagner Love and Emmanual Adebayor respectively assert there late season dominance over the rest of the league, to take the season down to the wire once again. Real Bierge who finished last seasons runners up thanks to a final game defeat look to take there first league title as they currently hold a 4 point gap over last years Champions and this years EEFA cup winners Tangerine Dream. However with the sides still to face each other there is no need to get a head start on the cup engraving just yet. Whilst further back the race for 4th place hots up with only 4 points separating 4 teams.


Going forward the mood in the EEFA is one of real optimism and hope for many clubs. The top half of the Prem has a few teams considering themselves just a couple of players away from a more competitive league push next season, whilst the Championship sees a number of dedicated managers on the march for top flight football and a chance to be part of one of the fiercest but most community driven top leagues of football across StJohn.


At time of writing Black Cats sit 19th in the EEFA Premiership
