#290825 Toffee Anyone? Take 2
zeonflux
We had a bit of a poor start to the season with a home loss to West Brom before finding our form again right through again until we lost to City.
The Southampton match was a definite high point as the 5-1 score makes it look closer than it was and also getting 2 victories against Tottenham is pleasing as well. To be honest the City match is 1 that i really hope i don't end up looking back on thinking if only we'd finished our chances as we should have won it comfortably.
So after dropping 6 points out of a possible 18 i was very happy with sitting in 3rd and being within 4 points of the leaders.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that i think we should easily take 3rd at the least this year as we have a very good squad, the only problem i'm going to have is with consistency as the average age of the team is around 22-23.
We've only played 1 match in the CL so far and we had a great victory over Sevilla, again it was another flattering scoreline as we went into half time 3-2 up and had Craig Dawson sent off after 60 odd minutes but still managed to sneak another 2 goals before the match ended, if we carry on like this qualification should be a doddle.
Our 5 goals scored was enough to ensure that after the first round of games we top the group above A.C. Milan and Benfica who played out a 1-1 draw. We play Milan next and then Benfica and i'd be happy with at least a draw in both games to see us on 5 points by the half way stage.

With that in mind I was given a choice of destination for our training camp either USA or China and due to already going to America for training camps twice since i took charge then China was where we were headed.
We did well on the training camp and the other friendlies that had been arranged, as well as playing matches against Madrid and Barca which i arranged both for the monetary incentive.
The high point of the friendlies was our destruction of Kaiserslautern in which Fierro got 4, Destro got 3 and duffy got another 2.
Having stated in the last post that i wouldn't be buying anyone unless they were special and to be fair i lived up to this as we had 3 players join us in the summer, 1 was already on a pre-contract agreement and the other was brought by my head of youth development with the 1 signing that i sanctioned coming in as he was to good to pass up.
This is the lad that i got on the Pre-contract before the transfer market opened and once his pace, acceleration and composer are improved he could become the best striker in my game.
Zelenka is the next signing that was made by my head of youth development and to be fair he is another top talent in the making, i've already got him training to be a DM and once that's done i'm gonna get him to learn to be a CB.
Perks is the final signing costing a small £13M which is peanuts compared to the fee he could command in the future, with great tackling, marking and Passing stats plus his decent mental and physical stats he just screamed ball playing defender and that his what his shall be and hopefully he's going to be the captain of the future.
Finally he's our Champions League group:
At the moment Photobucket won't let me get the img for the champions league group but i can say that in our group we have, A.C. Milan, Sevilla and Benfica, not an easy group by far but not a difficult one either.

I'd take it as it should in theory increase your reputation everywhere not just in England.......the big team will be over you like a lad from Swansea on a ball

Ok so after the great start to the season we had in the league we were hoping to follow it up was the same kind of results and push from a EL spot.
We had a terrible result against Huddersfield just after New Year and so we spent the rest of the season concentrating on the league and boy did it pay off. With some fantastic wins against Sunderland, Blackburn, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City and we only just lost to Man Utd after being 3-1 up at the break but some problems with corners was our undoing. But the wins that we racked up thanks mostly to the little mexican Carlos Fierro helped to fire us towards the top of the league and for awhile we did have a chance at taking the league all the way against the 2 Manchester clubs but the loss to Chelsea and the results against Villa and Stoke meant that we had to settle..........
For CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOOTBALL! I still don't believe that we managed to keep our form going all season and not only doing that but dominating against most teams and scoring heavily, we were the third highest goalscorers after City and Utd with Fierro finishing 3rd in the golden boot on 29 with Rooney second on 30 and Falcao breaking the record to net 37 times, although he does have Gotze, Hamsik, Gaston Ramirez, Nasri, Aguero, Tevez and Yaya Toure providing the ammunition for him.
And here is the main man as he stands in the team now he scored a fantastic 30 goals in 38 starts and 3 sub appearances, provided 9 assists and was Man of the Match 8 times. To be fair the lad carried us at times with some amazing individual goals that help to open the floodgates in some tough matches and he also managed to score 10 in 4 matches during January.
Bevan is another player worthy of mention this season having come through our own youth system he has just got better and better, having become an full England international during the season, he then got the Golden Gloves award for having 17 clean sheets during the season and has cemented his place as the No.1 choice in goal.
Thought i'd quickly post the tactic that i've used pretty much all season and which will now be my tactic of choice in the future.
Speaking of the future i'm in great shape player wise as they are all on long contracts and the average age of the team is only 23 (when it's rounded up) so this is a group that can be successful in years to come and can hopefully put in a decent attempt at the title next time round. I've also got some great youngsters coming back off loan who will be in the first team next season to add to the quality that we already have and so i don't feel the need to spend anything in the summer unless someone special comes along.
Finally as the more eagle eyed among you may have noticed i'm now the manager of Ukraine, i did try get the Poland job but i cocked up and holidayed through the accepting the offer bit and so they wouldn't speak to me again. Anyways there's not been any internationals yet so i can't comment on them until then so until next time....

On another note can David Cameron be charge in court for his part in the Newscorp BSkyB scandal?
#46830 Transfer Rumours 2013/14

It's hard to say really, when he's on form he's brilliant but unfortunately he's got that Joey Barton, Craig Bellamy attitude about him which could leadt to his career going 1 of 2 ways, he does a Bellamy and he turns it around and has a great if slow starting career or he does a Barton and continues being a dick and no one give a fuck about him..........except the french

#46733 What Are You Listening To?

Yeah i can agree with that but "I'm Not Alright", "Unity", "Amaryllis" and "I'll Follow You" are all fantastic songs and definitely the best songs on the album and i'd put them ahead of some of the songs on The Sound of Madness, that being said in my opinion 45 has got to be they're best song but a fucking mile
