Pre-Season 4th April 2023 Pre season started what feels like a life time ago. But I guess 6 months is a long time for anyone to go through pre-season. We said good bye to dead wood while keeping the core and bringing in some youth in to freshen up the squad for our first go in the new league. The innies The outties During Pre-Season we have 16 friendlies...... 16 just to keep fitness levels.... That's half a seasons worth of friendlies in a pre season.... I have also pssed up the opportunity of a move back to England to manage Wealdstone, who offered me an interview but I didn't fancy it. And we come to today. With one friendly before the league starts, and an opportunity to manage in the Dutch Kueken Kampioen Divisie, with De Graafschap. The interview has been offered and I sit here Yorkshire tea in one hand, beard in the other. It's a tempting very tempting proposition. To be continued.......

It doesn't help the squad with so much in fighting going on. KDB doesn't like Courtois for obvious reasons. Martinez was leaving anyway, Eden is aging and isn't the same player he was in his prime Chelsea days. The youngsters should be starting more. How Batshuayi keeps getting called up is beyond me. Japan though..... Don't take your eyes of this team for a second

I love these kinds of threads. People showing hidden gems that may not have been found in their games. I'm not sure theres any in the lower reaches of the Swedish leagues but I'll keep my eyes out

You're work on this is astounding dude. You always produce top quality stuff. There's always been little rumours on the forums that Red Bull keep looking at Sheffield Wednesday (not sure why we attract them). Would love to see how you'd incorporate the Owls into the Red Bull brand

And then they'll act surprised when nations pull away from FIFA, Denmark has already started the process.

Allez Allez Allez 8th October 2022 Post Season reflection - I'm going to just come out and say it, if Sean Bean was from Bodens he'd have told the boys "Do it fer Bodens" and they did just that. We had a little blip towards the end which saw us 4 points behind our closest rivals, IFK Lulea, who were in all sense of the words, worthy opponents. Thank fully we topped the league 4 points clear. We managed to tie down a couple of players that were influential this season starting with the league top scorer Renan Faustini. Our number 9, William Nordell. And youngster Talibeh Jallow all staying for another season. It's also a sad day that we have to say good by to a great leader and a great friend who, I did buy a pack of Yorkshire tea just for him as he announces his retirement. Looking back, it was a great season only 3 losses and a GD of +55 to take the league. I couldn't be prouder of this group and the togetherness to see it through.

As predicted for England, Southgate ball. Very boring defensive football with no emphasis on the final third as soon as we come up against a team that are capable of playing football. Thankfully with Iran beating Wales anything other than a 4-0 loss to Wales see's us through. Qatar going out is no surprise after watching that first game, Japan beating Germany was a cracking game. Can't say I've seen any other enjoyable games other than that so far.

I'd not buy players with money in lower league, concentrate on free's and loans. Build the infrastructure before concentrating on signing players for money

Can we have the fans chanting I'm henry the 8th i am i am?

Also just remember bud there is no transfer window in non-league, take advantage of the loan market and if possible, get affiliated with someone up the football ladder. Henry VIII would be proud.

Mid Season Update 19th June 2022 23:00 - Time to take a sip of rum and look back on what has been a pretty good start to life in the league. After a successful weeklong tour in Iceland were we picked up two strong results against Iceland opposition. We started the season strong with a 9-game win streak which included 8 clean sheets in the process. The start of June was our first loss against Friska Filjor FC a narrow 2-1 away from home but that lads picked themselves up and haven't looked back since. The table looks healthy with a 2 point gap and sitting nicely at the top. My assistant tells me we have one of the best intakes we've seen in years at the club, I knew that Yorkshire Tea energy would get the Staff working hard. Nordell and Faustini are putting the ball in the onion bag sharing the limelight those guys, again that Yorkshire Tea energy shining through. Onto the second half of the season we go. The team is growing together and the community is getting behind the boys. We march on together. Until next time.

Mate the logo is top quality and I can't thank you enough. It has helped me get the overlays etc that I wanted to go with the channel just waiting on my flat cap to arrive in the post

I'll get us started, I started streaming for my own mental health as it helped being able to interact with others and enjoy my gameplay with people. I'm only a small streamer I don't have ambitions to make it big just to have fun and let people join in. If you guys want to check out my page VyKing3148 - Twitch Feel free to join me on my journey

I'm currently playing COD DMZ (Cods attempt at escape from tarkov). Finding it very fun and intense, proximity chat is a gold mine of content. I also play single player games at the minute i'm going through God of War Ragnarok. I have fallen out of love with FIFA but I'm going to be playing efootball

I want you dressed up as a tudor on match days in the dug out!

I don't think there's been a World Cup that I've not been excited about or fussed about until this one. I think with it being the middle of the league campaign (I believe League one and two are continuing) and all the controversy surrounding it just nulled the excitement I have. I also saw the accommodation that you get for £180 per night, all I can say is they look like converted shipping containers cramped together. I will be watching some of it but I won't be getting too excited after all the England team is underwhelming.

Saturday 12th March 2022. 13:30 - The team has arrived at the stadium, pre-season home game. The boys are looking forward to welcoming the home fans and putting on a show for them. Pitea IF may have other ideas. A team comfortable on the ball this will test the team. 17:00 - The boys put in a fighting performance. I couldn't fault any of them, both teams struggled to defend each other's attacks. The lads are going to be winding down to a hot cup of Yorkshire. 18:00 - After an hour of reviewing the recent friendly I've sent the lads home to unwind with their families with our eyes firmly on our next friendly vs Infjardens SK next week.

Piteå is Sweden's 58th largest city, with a population of 23,326. Geography[edit] Piteå is located at the mouth of the Pite River (Swedish: Piteälven), at the shore of the Bay of Bothnia. The central part is located on an islet called Häggholmen, which due to post-glacial rebound almost has become a part of the mainland; the land in northern Sweden rises at a rate of up to 9 mm (0.35 in) per year. Piteå's coastal location, with numerous islands and inlets, is one of the reasons it is a popular place for tourism both in summer and winter. It features a beach resort area called Pite Havsbad, around which there is a spa, a long sandy beach, a restaurant and a golf course. The area is also suitable for fishing and outdoor activities. In the winter, snow activities such as skiing and winter bathing are common. The water temperatures reportedly being Sweden's warmest during three consecutive summers in the 1950s, the beach then became known as "Norrbotten's Riviera".[2]

Saturday, 10th March, 2022 Piteå IF Piteå IF Full name Piteå Idrottsförening Founded 1985; 37 years ago Ground LF Arena Piteå Sweden Capacity 3,950 Chairman Berndt Siljemark Coach Stellan Carlsson League Damallsvenskan 2021 11th Website Club website Piteå Idrottsförening, commonly known as Piteå IF, is a Swedish football club located in Piteå that currently competes in Sweden's top-division women's league, Damallsvenskan. In 2018, they won the Swedish national Championship for the first time.[1] History[edit] The sports club was formed on 24 May 1918 but did not take up men's football until 1920 when they united with their local rival club IFK Piteå, which then was dissolved. The women's team was founded in 1985. Piteå IF's female section is currently playing in the highest league, Damallsvenskan, which it reached for the first time in 2009.[2] The club has one of the largest football youth academies in the county of Norrbotten and is one of two clubs who arrange the large international youth soccer cup, the Piteå Summer Games.[3]

Wednesday, 9th March 2022. 09:00 - After a couple of days un-winding the lads are back to work, many of these guys have a part time job to make ends meet, as is the case in the Lower Leagues in England. As this is my first managerial role, which is also a part time contract, I also need to find something part time to make ends meet. The end goal? to become successful first with this group of guys. I applied to become a sales rep for Yorkshire Tea, I'm still waiting to hear from the Head Office in Harrogate. 12:00 - Lunch time with the guys, watched a video of the last game on VHS.... VHS.... these still exist? First payment I'm splashing out on a DVD player for the club. One of the plus sides to the players having other jobs is we have a couple of landscape gardeners so that helps with keeping the grass green, I guess. We just need an electrician, a plumber and a carpenter and we can get cracking with keeping the stadium running without extra costs. 15:00 - I've received a report from the U19's who have started their season with 1 win and a loss. Some promising faces I may need to turn too. It's good knowing the players play with a smile on their faces even at that age, long may that continue. 17:00 - Sent the team home and the staff, cracked open a bottle of Jim Beam in the office as I look out into the stadium. How did I get this lucky? Such a beautiful country, no-one knows me as yet. A club of my own to develop and a fan base that is only going to grow, then it dawned on me. This club needs a social media presence, but we have no social media team.

I've just realised I've not posted who I support . Not that it's a bad thing. Sheffield Wednesday, I won't bore you all with origins stories or the last time we had a team in the prem although we were one of the founding teams of the premier league back in 92. And everyone has heard of the Hillsborough disaster, so I won't get into my thoughts on that. Currently sat 3rd in League One.

Welcome in, grab a seat, crack open a beer or I can brew you a cup of Yorkshires finest. Derek is alright I guess, but the real lover boy of the site is @Tempelman

Love Stephen Graham such a great guy and great actor. Another fun fact, I was a walk on extra in the film the Damned United in which Stephen Graham played as Leeds United's Billy Bremner! Such a good experience.

Saturday 5th March 2022 09:00 - Wake up to a nice fresh cup of the Yorkshire stuff. I've promised the guys that if we win in good fashion today, I'll treat them to a night out around Kalix tonight, but they pay their own way home in the morning. Not sure what to expect with that except from good Team bonding exercise. 10:00 - The coach is at ground early. The driver looks excited to get going he tells me Boden needed a change in management and is looking forward to the English style of football I'll bring. I corrected him, the Yorkshire brand of football, hardworking, strong as stainless steel and able to cut straight through butter. 10:30 - Everyone is on board, Emil sitting at the front with myself to throw ideas at each other and go through what I expect from my captain on and off the field. Alot of good points from both sides. Emil is impressed with how nice the Yorkshire Tea is. I may have told him it was a recipe passed down through the ages of the Viking invasion. I can't tell if he's impressed or is just looking forward to crunching people in the game. 11:55 - We arrive at Kalix. The stadium is only small the changing rooms no bigger than a school's changing room. Everyone is cramped in before we do a few laps of the ground to warm up and practise. Our midfield general Raymond is in a deep discussion with Emil. 15:00 - Kick off time, we've brought a decent following of 5 maybe 10 people, out of an attendance of 46. I don't think they count the animals grazing in the fields or the farmers in the tractors. 17:00 - A great performance from the boys, especially for a pre-season game. I think the sheep and the cows enjoyed it too, they've not stopped watching from the fields. Looks like a night out for the guys that took me up on the offer. Kalix watch out the Boden boys are about.
