Succession Game

Mijic loves getting sent off. 2nd time for me in this stint. Fined him a weeks wages and he whinged. Other then that was a massive performance they never threatened once even after the send off. Huge win keeps us 5 points off leaders Arsenal.

My turn finishes with,


Had to go overload for the last 20 mins and was lucky to get the draw.

Leaves the table looking like:


I think the title might be out of the question but 2nd isn't.

Uploading now for itchy. Oh and Itchy take a look at our contracts as some will be expiring.

Only two days after the WBA game we faced Chelsea away. I was a squad filled with tired/injured/suspended/on international duty that arrived to London.



Two sloppy defensive errors (Svoboda and Marshall) saw us lose an even game. Next up Man Utd, who has 8-0 on us in three games this season...

And now we lost Liam Potter to Arsenal... Apparently he had a release clause (17M), which they activated. I couldn't match his wage demands, so now he's gone.

Wow ...didn't notice that when I signed him. Losing players all over the shop. Need to find a decent replacement. I have faith Itchy, I have faith.

Well, United are simply better than us.

I have made two loans for some versatile midfielders. I would like to find a proper replacement for Potter, but we only have 4 M available.

Tabanou's cross deflected on their right back to give us a point. We need to start winning now or the top three will sail away.

Own Goal seems be our new top scorer. This time it was our old goalkeeper Murphy who got the ball in the back of his head after Adams free kick hit the bar.

Meanwhile in another dimension Arsenal had a fine derby day.

The hell happened to Chelsea?

Thought I would post this here. Itchy and I decided to try versus for the first time. Our FGR team against my Werder team. I was schooled. To be fair though our FGR team is competing for the Premier league and my Werder team are struggling in the Bundesliga. We could have some fun with this. Maybe even try and FGR vs FGR game?

The FA cup. A reserve team put us through against Championship side Rotherham. Arsenal stays on cloud 9.

The defence is rock solid, but I would like us to score some more goals.

Fourth game without conceding. Massimo Bruno, a right winger on loan from Newcastle scored his first goal for the Rovers.

An easy win over bottom placed Wolves. Our Asian players are back, and Sugiyama started on the right wing, got the ball after kick off and dribbled passed his defender, sent the ball into the box for Maguire to head down to Adams - 1-0 after 17 seconds, a new record for FGR. We still sit in fouth, but only 3 points off City now.

game crashed. Have to replay the Blackburn game.



This time Barkley scored the only goal. Just before half time. Otherwise a sleepy performance.

Out of the FA cup after a close game that could have gone either way. Disappointed to leave the competition so early.

Ivan Mijic has stepped up as the natural replacement for Potter in the midfield. With Isco, Shelvey and Sugiyama as more attacking options I didn't feel like we needed anybody else. This result gives us a good chance of move on to the next round.

This finish my stint. Forgot to take a screenshot of the table, but, if I recall correctly, we're still 4:th, 3 points to City and about 10 points up to United and Arsenal.

I will go away on vacation for two weeks, so Cymro and Spanky, you carry on and I will tell you when I'm back. I will follow your progress carefully. Aim for the CL title! Good luck.

Cymro anything?

Been busy with working all weekend and don't finish till gone 10pm tonight. Will try and push something out later and finish it tomorrow, sorry Spanky.

Big win for the Green Army. Could have scored more. Barkley had a goal chalked off for an apparent foul but the referee got it wrong.

Ethem's first half goal booked us into the next round. Really happy with this and we pocketed £3.04m for going to the next round.

Celtic in the next round. A real possibility we could go through to the next round.

Will take the point. We battled hard against a strong Man City side.

Ethem's goal has made sure we have a goal advantage heading back to Scotland.

A sneaky win away from home. Next game is the away leg at Celtic.

Drama and we clinched it thanks to Marshall in extra time. Made it to the Semi Finals. Some big teams left mind.

Big win against a Hull side that have been our bogey side. We wrapped the game up in the first half.

Another win. Next game is the Champions League Semi Final against Real Madrid. Big game.
