Good start to the season.Hirving Lozano has started like a house on fire.Gutted I missed out on him with spartak.Couldnt help but chuckle when you drew Chelsea.Hope you can get another win over mourinho.Great additions to your backroom staff.And good that your improving facilities.Getting through that group will be a tough ask.Ajax are hit and miss on this game I have found but Bayern are quality every save.


I'd seriously recommend him if anyone need MR/AMR. He's been exceptional since he joined us.

I'm on 2 games unbeaten against Mourinho.

Bayern have been dominating in the league since they brought in Diego Simmone in January. I think we can beat Ajax.

September and October 2016


https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/NgVBYP5sMn4KI0FHI6mdFWHInyn1dVUwqtArkYfE.png

I'm so embarrassed by our results in September, I blatantly refused to dwell on it and went straight to October to forget about it.

We was great against Stoke but Kana-Biyik fucked us over by gifting a goal and a penalty to kill us off.

No complaint about our loss to Bayern. We was beaten by a goal from Boateng on 30th minutes and Gotze scoring from long range shot on 70th minutes. We did have a chance to put them under pressure but didn't take it.

We was far better than Man City despite us drawing. Joe Hart was in hot form against us to prevent us from beating them.

I'm gutted about our loss over Chelsea, we matched them all over the place. Chelsea brought on Wellington Nem, on at half time and rest was history in second half as he ripped Jenkinson to pieces and got hat trick against us. Hazard got Chelsea other goal.

Another pathetic performance against Liverpool, Defence was shocking and pointed the blame on them.

Ajax was better than us and proved we're out of depth in Champions League. Reid gave away penalty on 35th minutes which Lasse Schöne stepped up to score. Mark Noble got us the point with a penalty on 58th minutes.

We actually sold out at this game and made 2.1M through gate receipts. We deserved to get beaten. Chelsea scored 2 goals within 10 minutes through Oscar and Khedira. Header from Serge Aurier put Chelsea 3 goals lead against us. Nicolaj Thomsen got a goal for us on 48th minutes with an strike outside the box. Then all of sudden we was 4-1 down on 60th minutes with Hazard getting the goal ffs. Mark Noble got us our second goal through the penalty after Lukas got fouled. Then Chelsea got their fifth goal, 3 minutes later from corner. Shocking performance.

Another lost on the trot We took the lead on sixth minutes against West Brom through Matt Jarvis. Berahino level the score for them with a strike inside the box 10 minutes later after we took the lead. Then West Brom got the winner on stroke of half time thanks to Hillel Soudani, which Leali should have done better.

After the match, I ordered team meeting and told the players to start fucking playing football and winning games and all of them was fired up and agreeing they should be winning few games. As the team morale was shot to pieces.

We battered BATE even we got 2 late goals. We went behind on 30th minutes with BATE's Faiola heading in from corner. We was awarded penalty on 45th minutes but Noble's penalty was saved by their keeper.

Things got worse for us as James Tomkins got sent off for two footed tackle ffs. They went 2-0 up on 70th minutes with their youngster scoring after Ademi failed to stop him. They went down to 10 man after their midfielder got sent off for double booking.

Honda got us a goal back 8 minutes after they went 2-0 up, getting onto Jarvis pass to shoot the ball into the net. We level the score on 85th minutes thanks to Podolski's goal after keeper parried Noble's shot into his path. Then we went down to 9 man after Kana-Biyik got himself red card for double booking on 89th minutes ffs which left a massive gap in our defence but I decided to leave it open But Lennon got us the winning goal on 90+1 after he smashed it in from Noble cross to send us crazy.

Lukas Podolski clearly loves playing against Arsenal \o/ \o/

Goals from Lozano and brace from Podolski put us in front in 18 minutes period. Arsenal pulled one back through Shaqiri on 39th minutes. Podolski got his hat trick 3 minutes later, skinned Koscielny to put the ball into the net.

Mistake from Kana-Biyik and Aurtenetxe gifted Wistel (69th minutes) and Shaqiri (72nd) to put them a goal behind us. Which I was starting to panic as duo was playing crap for us. But thankfully Thomsen got us the fifth goal to put the game to bed.

Another win on the trot, beating Crystal Palace with an only goal from Matt Jarvis with 6 minutes left on the clock. He also has a goal disallowed in first half for some reason.

What an month compare to awful last month Genuinely hope we can keep going with this form. I have also made changes to our tactics before we played BATE.

Shocking month tho Players morales was poor and few was on abysmal. So I decided to do team meeting to sort it out.

I hope we can finish around 8th or get sacked.

Wow, can't believe you are only starting yer first set of coaching badges now mate. Usually the best time to ask I feel (money permitting) is in the summer because then they've no real excuse because the players are on holiday.

Not a single goal scored in the three Premier League games in September is shocking regardless of the opposition. Great win at home to Arsenal though and hope that's the starting point of the league season now.

KIU.

I did first asked when I first started and said no cos I am needed at training. I did go on training course few months later and not received about it anything since

Yeah, we was truly pathetic and Podolski was singled out by media for not scoring goals I hope so too!

A good result against Arsenal hopefully kick starting the season and a hat-trick against his old club for Podolski.

Brilliant month

Battered BATE with goals from Jarvis, Zapata and Noble.

Disappointed to lose to Swansea and we didn't deserve to lose, their goal came from header from Håvard Nielsen, beating Tomkins to head in from the penalty spot But Meh.

Was a tough game against Norwich as they was playing 4-5-1 with 5 across the pitch. And we were second best against them but we took our chances to win the game. Aaron Lennon put us in the lead on 13th minutes, striking from near post after Josh Harrop's shot was parried into his path. Zapata got his goal on 88th minutes, latching onto Scott Wootton's long pass to strike it into the net.

WOW. Epic result against Bayern!! We was outplayed by them and we managed to keep them at bay. We got the winner after Honda was clattered by Xabi Alonso in the penalty box, and Mark Noble stepped up to score to give us the lead over Bayern.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/GKDJxB7jboQm2QKk6znarBB9PNU33aZCLfjNsh4E.png
Seems moving to Olympic stadium is good after all

Finally got one over Southampton at St Mary Matt Jarvis put us in front on forty second minutes, getting on the end of Lennon's cross to score. Southampton got the goal via Ryan Bertrand, which Leali should have saved it but somehow messed it up. Super Zapata got us the winning goal on 77th minutes, heading in Matt Jarvis's free kick.

We didn't deserve to lose this game at all. We outplayed them and battered them but we only lost cos we didn't take our chances and Ajax's Jasper Cillessen was in hot form against us. 2 goals in 4 minutes period killed us off. Zapata has his goal disallowed before Jarvis put us a goal behind them. But scoreline was massively harsh on us even we was the better team.

Mixed feeling month

We kicked off November with a thrashing over Watford. Zapata took us in the lead on 27th minutes, scoring from Lozano's pass after he ran toward the near post and passed it to Zapata, to finish the move off. Mark Noble scored our second goal with 20 yards free kick, kicked the ball over the wall and went into top corner. Zapata got his second goal in second half, getting onto Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik 's long pass to score.

We did deserve to lose but not 6-3 ffs. Winston Reid was wank for us and gifted THREE goals. I warned him that he was shite which he accepted he was.

Bounced back with beating Everton 3-0. An own goal from Baines slicing Lozano's shot into his net. With Jarvis and Lennon out injured, left me with Thomsen playing on LM and he got his goal 3 minutes later after Tim Howard, parried Honda's free kick to Thomsen who gladly blasted it in to make it 2-0 to us.

Zapata got our third goal in second half after a through ball from Thomsen and beat his man to score.

Winston fucking Reid is doing my tits in now. We took the lead against QPR through Zapata on 22nd minutes after Thomsen, skinned QPR's right back to cross the ball from byline and Zapata headed it in.

Reid got sent off on 67th minutes with double booking which we was put under massive pressure against QPR, Thanks Winston QPR got the equalising goal with 3 minutes left with Bodgan Stancu's heading in Billy Jones's cross. I went aggressive on Reid and said I wasn't happy with his sending off. then his confidence went "confused" I mean what is there to be confused about?! Bloody prat.

We almost threw away this game, We went 1-0 down on 31st minutes with Yura Movsisyan getting on the end of Obita's pass to put them ahead, Zapata was at fault as he lost the ball in the middle of the pitch.

Few minutes later, Zapata got us level, after good passing between Thomsen, Honda and Noble which Noble put Zapata through to score. Went in level at half time and I put higher tempo on to put them under more pressure. And WOW, 3 goals in 3 minutes period. Honda got his goal after scoring from Jarvis's pass. A minute later, Zapata got his second goal, heading in Lozano's header. Then all of sudden we went 4-1 up with Zapata bagging his hat trick As Thomsen was fouled by Matthew Briggs. Which Zapata blasted it in middle of the goal. Then Movsisyan got his hat trick by scoring on 68th and 89th minutes. Bizarrely he was named MOTM when Zapata was amazing and he got assist with his 3 goals

Spurs took their chances to beat us and we was dreadful. Noble was making his 325th games for us and was shocking alongside Ademi who was dreadful. Ademi also gave away a penalty for Spurs's second goal. But meh.

Looks very good and will be in first team as back up.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/CZCEAUOsc8YW0f2ZHRs6UayVWbpcUDRcWpMM3aMS.png

Massively potential player for us. Berreta found him while scouting U's19 leagues. Will be in U's21 this season and will see what happens at the end of the season, will probably go out on loan.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ctnE1Y90B5k9EP8eaDLCTvKXJtc3DjMWi1XjEZbm.png

OH YEAH Massive signing for us. Will be a decent battle between him and Honda for AMC Swansea must be absurd for putting him on the transfer list even he was their best player

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/zgN2sryqFj8WN79NKexMPc8Sx9AbA3KjNjwHfR4E.png

After seeing him stats, seems we have indeed taken gamble on him (Damn you scouting report, SI definitely need to improve this) Will probably sell him in the future.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/eRxmkVgLvRvIEfT0gOcuhVg2b3isi4NT2kNjOyDD.png

This guy was pre signed in the summer, looks fairly good. Already playing for Denmark U's21


I'm in talks with few decent regens so I will post them up

OUT

Zapata will be leaving us and heading to Italy to join Fiorentina for 21M. I decided I'm going to retrain Podolski as striker and with Azim as back up. 21M for Zapata was too good to turn down and I will also will be promoting Hassan when he gets back from on loan to Dundee ( currently top scorer for them) to first team.

Have also sold Joey O'Brien to Nottingham Forest for 350K. Thanks god for that, moaning cunt.
