I've decided to do a different style of updates. Like a newspaper article

12.09.2007
Luton vs Leeds-League 1​

With the media expecting a draw, both teams went into the game hopeful. It was Leeds with the first good chance of the match with Henri Saivet hitting the bar with an optimistic shot from outside the box in the 14th minute. Manu Sanchez was controlling the ball for the whole half, showing his worth. In the 30th minute Filipe Da Costa intercepted a poor pass from the Luton defence only to hit the ball wide of the goal. Half time 0-0 but Leeds dominated. A tired Henri Saivet made way for Tore Andre Flo at half time and both teams were still looking for a goal. Flo made himself a good chance in the 52nd minute when he shrugged of a defender to have a crack on goal, it went narrowly wide. Both teams went out for attack but neither created good enough chances. An evenly matched contest and a fair result.

Not a too bad result but probably should have won, especially da costa missing a great chance to win the game for you.

Meh, nothing wrong with a good healthy draw

Good update mate, especially liking the new update. Maybe use red text though, to make it stand out?

Leeds vs Swindon​

After an excellent first month in charge for Dr. Pepper, the second started off not so well. A loss and a draw proved that Henri Saivet was a key player for Leeds and when not at full fitness he will be sorely missed. Saivet was dropped for their encounter against Swindon and was sent home by his manager to get some rest and regain full fitness. Tresor Kandol earned himself a starting place in the Leeds Utd team after a week of training. Dr. Pepper announced at a press conference that they had a special watch on Swindon's Billy Paynter as he's capable of scoring plenty of goals. Swindon's away record was awful with three losses in a row, not winning an away game all season. The game got underway and it was already a test of both teams midfield. A long ball by Douglas was picked up by Tresor Kandol and slotted home for Leeds. Kandol straight away showing why he was chosen, silencing critics. Leeds didn't have long to celebrate though as Swindon hit them on the counter attack in the 10th minute with Cox crossing the ball in for Paynter to set up Roberts. 5 minutes later a great ball from Kandol went to Constantine but he missed a great chance. Douglas took on the Swindon defence then passed it to Constantine who put it agonizingly wide, another great chance for Constantine to put Leeds infront. Some great link up play led the ball to go to Kandol who hit the post. Leeds continued to press forward. It was an action packed first half with both sides attacking with venom. 10 minutes into the second half and Leeds had a corner. It was scrambled in the box and eventually went to Filipe Da Costa's feet and they hammered the ball in from an acute angle. Leeds were deservedly in front again. Kandol headed down a high ball to Constantine who narrowly missed from outside the box. It was not Constantine's day. In the 80th minute a poor pass from Brezovan, the Swindon goalkeeper to Williams was intercepted by Kandol and he took on the keeper to secure the win. Minutes later Da Costa crossed in the ball to Kandol whose header was saved but he got the rebound. A hattrick for Kandol! In injury time Kandol fell in the box and the referee pointed to the spot. A great decision by Phil Joslin as Williams brought Tresor Kandol down. Kandol confidently stepped up but Brezovan finally made a good save ending Kandol's superb game on an unfortunate sour note. The final whistle blew and Leeds were delighted. Tresor Kandol's hattrick and Filipe Da Costa's superb finish were too much for Christian Roberts equaliser.

Greta update. Fantastic win by Leeds.

Can you post the table up please?

 

[Dr. Pepper]

ok FB. I didn't really see the point because Leeds had a 15 point deduction and now we're finally on 0 points lol. Cheers for the comments

 

[thesweepmaster]

Fantastic victory for Leeds. Perfectly played against a good swindon team and now you on zero points, you probably win the league. Nice update!

 

[covlad-99]

Great result against Swindon, but you needed to nick a goal against Luton. Promotion is slipping away with every dropped point. ood old Tresor hitting the jackpot with that hattrick!
