Interview with Carl Jones (Lough Derg)

Carl may be the man of the moment in SL. First season that he is on the first division of the Friendly League, he is leading by 5 points. With still 20 games to be played he is far from having the league won, but his first 10 games were almost perfect, and he just have 1 draw conceded.
If Carl won this league, he will be the 4th doing on the first try, wich already started to be usual. But still with so much for the end of this competition lets see what he can do in the next few games.
Carl is a very quiet manager in the Sunday League World, but he has a glorious past, especially on the Arsenal server, where he won 13 majors. Carl is 37 years old and he is Arsenal Supporter.
The Sunday League blog visited him, and made some questions.

You are currently leading the hardest competition in the server (FL1). What are your expectations for this season?
Was just hoping to stay up this season so being top after a few games is quite surprising considering the quality in this Conference, my trouble has always been consistency ( the lack of it ) !

In the past other managers have won that league in their first try. Why do you think they were so successfully on the first try?
...not sure really? My side is built from scratch and has had to get through four Conferences to reach this level and I would say my team is now at it's most competitive hence the great start.

Who do you think its the favourite to win FL1?
The Rods

You are still on the run for the title in 8-1-1. What are your expectations for this season?
Well it is one tough Conference I know that! To beat my previous best of 4th and a Champions League place again to fly the flag for Con 8 would be cool.

Do you think its possible in concentrate and win, at the same time, competitions so hard like FL1 and 8-1-1?
Would be very tough but could be a fantastic double.

Who´s the best team in the server for you, at the moment?
I would say Lagerfield he had a brilliant season last time around but would also mention The Rods he is a very tough competitor!

What was your biggest moment in SL?
I had some very successful seasons winning trophies on a reasonably competitive Arsenal server and won a few Conference titles on the Moggy server too, but to have all the big names on this one one server and being quite competitive is an achievement in itself...so you could say I am having my biggest moment now! To win something meaningful would be great!

What do you do for hobby´s (except SL)?
I am a very keen runner ( 10ks and half marathons mostly), love my football and try to get up to Arsenal as often as I can.

Who do you think it will win the World Cup (in real football)?
England...of course!

Thanks a lot Carl, and the best luck for your season.
