Website Merge Completed

As you will have known if you read the post from a few weeks ago, http://www.armchairamateurs.weebly.com/ were planning to merge with another Amateurs website.

That website has now gone live and is available here:

http://www.armchairamateurs.com/.

Hopefully, this should be a bit easier to remember for anyone wanting to check out any news regarding AAFC on a whim.

Armchair Amateurs Shop

Yep, you read it correctly - Armchair Amateurs now have a shop! Why not buy an Armchair Amateurs inspired t-shirt or a pair of boxer shorts? How about a mousemat or a mug? All that and many more can be bought from Armchair Amateurs' brand new shop. Click on either the image or the url to get shopping!

Merging Of Websites

Sometime next week will see uber-site, www.armchairamateurs.com form. The site is a joint effort from www.armchairamateurs.weebly.com and www.armchairamateurs.jimdo.com.

The site will be the official home of The Amateurs and cannot be beaten on content and exlusives. The site will likely make it's appearance early next week, so stay tuned for an update regarding this.

GW12 Activity

Over the last few weeks, there has been a serious lack of activity in GW12. At the beginning of the first season, people were flocking in their droves to get their season under way. It was great. To say that the activity has died down a little would be a bit of a porky. The most I have seen online at once in the last week would be about 45. 45 people out of 1200!

The fact that two new gameworlds were open a couple of days ago really didn't help things. Some of the more regular users decided to jump ship and opt for a new GW, both of which are using the database that will be used in the retail version of the game.

So, if any managers from GW12 are reading this, please, please don't neglect your teams any longer. The lack of games and any real structure is unberable! Signing players is next to impossible. How do you sign a player from another team when their manager is nwever logged in? It can't be done!

Please people, sort it out.

Armchair Amateurs Website

This is a belated message to say that the club now has an official website. This blog will still be updated regularly but other content such as player profiles and general information on the club can be found at their new home.

So, without further ado, the Armchair Amateurs FC website:

Please feel free to add comments or feedback, either on here or on the website.

Two Signings In Two Days

The club yesterday smashed their transfer record on midfield maestro Ibson from Real Ca Bica. The player cost £2,000,000, easily beating the previos record set by Kennedy Bakircioglu.

Ibson operates best in a central position where his passing and defensive ability are put to good use. He adds to the wealth of talent in midfield at The Amateur Arena.

Another midfielder arrived today in the form of German, Caliksan Nizamettin. The 22 year old will give more options in a position where there has been a lack of depth recently. He can play on either wing or in attacking midfield and his versatility will be a huge asset.

ArmchairAmateurs.blogspot.com's new big brother http://www.armchairamateurs.weebly.com, has all the information plus reactions of the manager and fellow teammates.

Nelson Valdez Leaves

Amateurs striker Nelson Valdez has started pastures new at Team Super Win. The deal cost a whopping £1,000,000 and is by far the record transfer theat the club has been involved in.

Valdez had this to say when addressing his fans, "I have enjoyed every minute of being here at The Armchair Arena. I love the club, the fans and my fellow players and I will never forget them. I learned so much from the boss and the coaching staff and for that I am grateful. I have moved to another big club and I hope I get as much pleasure playing in front of my new fans as I have with all of you. I would like to be remembered at the club for the hard work I feel I put in and I hope to one day come back."

Valdez clearly left with a heavy heart. The manager has always said how big a player he has been for the club. "Nelson is a big personality. He arrived with a big reputation where I feel we got him for quite a reasonable price. He slot right into the team alongside fellow striker Jean Carlos and immediately made an impact. He linked up play beautifully, and combine well with Carlos and the midfielders. He scored goals and created them and his technique and ability have always stood out. We didn't want to sell at all but we have recently resorted to a 4-2-3-1, and I have found it difficult to choose between the two of them and also the teenager, Sergiy Rud. The money we got from him will be very useful. We have made four times what we payed and I think that is good business."

The team at ArmchairAmateurs.blogspot.com would like to wish Nelson all the best at his new club and hope he scores the goals for his new manager.
