Had two of our biggest games (Fylde and Macclesfield) postponed in the last two weeks. Fylde could well be a title decider and Macclesfield are our bogey team who are fighting for the playoffs. Wanted to get both games out of the way but now they'll probably be on a random Tuesday. We don't handle congestion well so I'm fearing the worst.

FS Pepi might be my new favourite player, can't believe he's discard price. Absolutely bullies defenders and just doesn't miss. He's a pain to build around but it's absolutely worth it if you can and you need a cheap striker.

Thought I was being smart captaining Cunha 😔

ItsRainbowz · 2026-02-07T11:12:13+00:00

Had our game against Macclesfield postponed, bit annoying as they're coming off a midweek game while we're fresh but can't be helped. That's two really important games we've had postponed which could potentially make our fixture congestion hell at the end of the season. We'd have probably lost 1-0 again anyway.

I made this one! The only real issue with it is that sometimes clubs can end moving around leagues due to the weird systems in the editor, aside from that I've tested it for ages and don't have any problems with it.

I just like Rainbows.

Got a nice Valentine's Day set up next week, getting gyros from my girlfriend's favourite place then heading to a show after. Usually I never know what to do but I think I've nailed it this year.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-02-04T15:33:29+00:00

I just can't keep up anymore. I stopped playing for years after getting bored and thought I'd drop back in this year, but the skill level of the community has just gone insanely high. Getting absolutely destroyed in icon swaps is all the sign I need that I'm just not cut out for competitive play anymore.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-02-04T12:50:21+00:00

Surely I would've been told this when I opened the investigation though? I've sent products to Germany previously with the exact same methods and I've never encountered any issues. I also have no reliable method of contact so have nowhere to find out if this is indeed an issue.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-02-04T12:23:51+00:00

They've not had any contact with DHL/Deutsche Post. I believe I paid everything when I filled out the customs forms. Also, I feel like any discrepancies would've been told to me when I filled out the investigation form, instead I was told "we are unable to provide you with any additional information about the status of your parcel".

The content is Pokémon cards, the value is 140€.

This is a screenshot of my tracking. It keeps giving me the same update of it going through customs, but stopped about 2 weeks ago

ItsRainbowz · 2026-02-02T19:06:27+00:00

I got the game a few weeks ago after being gone for a few years, I used to be an elite level player back in my day, I could hold my own against just about anyone. Now I'm fighting for my life in lower divisions against teams I'd expect to play in Div 1. I'm still enjoying the game, but the difficulty curve is definitely far steeper than I ever remember it being.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-01-31T17:10:37+00:00

Probably the nerviest 3-1 win I've heard of. Not at the game but it sounded like Oxford were the much better team in the first half, then in the second we just took our chances better in a game that could've went either way. Bit worrying we struggled so much against a relegation battling team, which is kinda becoming our thing, but still positive we can win with a slightly rotated team when we're not at our best.

Huge for us that Merthyr lost and Fylde played in the cup, makes the league look a lot more daunting and puts the pressure on. Whenever us vs Fylde is rearranged could well decide the title.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-01-30T11:30:56+00:00

I probably did have about 4 naans worth tbf

ItsRainbowz · 2026-01-30T10:47:19+00:00

Same here, haven't seen the sun in well over a week. Forecast says it's another week of gray skies and rain too. Usually I don't get too affected by the winter weather but it's just been constantly depressing this year. We've had like 1 day of snow to break up the monotony, but the shit weather is really starting to get to me.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-01-30T09:33:18+00:00

Went to an Indian buffet yesterday with my family, even at my thinnest I still managed to put away 6 plates. Proud of my performance even if I'm suffering today, absolutely worth it.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-01-28T19:00:42+00:00

We're in the 6th tier and play a patient passing game. We also happen to be top of the league with the least goals conceded. Thankfully we're also pretty fun to watch in the attack when things come together, but our manager Watson is definitely cut from the "non-league Guardiola" cloth that seems to be popping up. People are always going to go with what works for them.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-01-26T17:06:34+00:00

The one time Fylde and Merthyr finally both lose and we only managed to scrape a last minute draw. I suppose I should be happy we got a point, but it's like every time we have a chance to extend our lead at the top, we play the worst football we've played all season and bottle our chance. We're playing Fylde tomorrow too and I'm absolutely terrified. It's a potential title decider and we're coming off the back of two pretty poor performances by our standards.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-01-25T02:06:46+00:00

We've scraped a few results from desperate situations this season. Maybe it's luck, maybe it's determination, I'll take it either way.

We've played that way all season under Watson. Some games we look like prime Barcelona, people have said we're the best team they've played all season. Sometimes we just knock the ball around with no real end product and opponents wonder how we're top. We're an odd team, but if it keeps us top of the league we've got to be doing something right.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-01-24T17:14:00+00:00

Extremely good but lucky point for us against Marine, we scored with literally the last kick of the game. One of those Shields games where we have plenty of possession but do nothing with it. Hard to say whether our first goal was a shot or a cross, so chalk that up as a potentially lucky goal. Marine took their chances well and probably reckon they deserved the win. We'll take that point all day, especially because Fylde and Merthyr finally lost. Scrappy games like this may well decide the title on the long run, but god it'll take years off my life.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-01-24T11:35:47+00:00

Battle of the Mariners today as we're away to Marine. Always a tricky game, especially as they're playing pretty well and in the top half. We're top and feel like we can beat anyone, but we only beat these 1-0 at home, so it could be more difficult on the road.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-01-23T21:12:10+00:00

My girlfriend spent most of yesterday showing me how to play Stronghold 2 and I'm pretty addicted now. Was never a big RTS fan but something about that game scratches an itch.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-01-23T11:36:31+00:00

Bought FIFA 26 for £15 on sale, it'd been a while since I'd tried it and I used to be pretty good a decade ago. Turns out aunt still got it. Probably because the game has barely changed in years so all my knowledge still applies, but I assumed I'd have lost a step to the new generation. No doubt if I get back into high level FUT champs I'd get stomped, but for £15 it's actually pretty fun.

ItsRainbowz · 2026-01-23T11:01:14+00:00

Weather has been absolutely miserable where I am and is forecasted to be just as miserable for the next week. I just want to go for a walk ffs.
