Going strong there - that's a great run. The race for the fist/second is wide open - all 4 have their chances. How is the schedule of the other three compared to yours?

Kevan Grundy just gets better and better - is leading England to World Cup glory next??

This group look quite easy and proved to be even easier: I guess you cannot wait another year for the tournament to start.

Ohhh...that was definitely heart-breaking. Hope the morale is not too low and you can make a push for the promotion now.

7 games left and it's Independiente and you, although the other teams are not that far. The team has shown consistency, so I am sure you can do it - November will be crucial. Great game against Boca on Copa Sudamericana as well - hope you can make it to the semi-finals.

Good luck on the replay - it's not going to be easy for sure.

Do you think all these additonal games will affect your push for promotion?

I have been following your story for a while: I like your game reports, but I think you are missing some "everyday" reports/articles, like: the 6th round FA cup draw, the league table and who the next opponents are and if you are in the playoff race etc. I think if you had 1-2 "articles", not necessarily long, between the game reports, it would make it a lot easier for us to understand how you are doing and a much better read overall.

So close to every competition and you ended the season with no silverware. Great achievements though and Newcastle will definitely miss you!

Good luck with England; it will be interesting. Have the groups drawn yet?

Ouch!!! Porto were too good for you. Winning the Premier League will help you feel better: a win against West Ham and it's advantage Newcastle.

6 shots on goal, 5 goals: guess that's what taking your chances is Porto will be a tough opponent, but you certainly have the quality to reach the final - and if you get there, whoever your opponent is won't scare you.

How are things going on the league?

That loss from Huracan must have hurt - other than that, a great start on the league. A win on the game in hand will put you on first place again.

Why Copa Sudamericana this year? I thought you had qualified for Copa Libertadores.

That's a fast-forward season!! I haven't even started the pre-season on mine and you are almost finished this season!

Man Utd look like they broke your heart again - is the gap between you that big? Apart from Dubois and Milanovic, the rest of the team didn't do a lot on this game.

Wigan look good this year (are they still on the top half of the table), but again losing at home must have hurt a bit.

At least, you have qualified for the Europa League quarter-finals; I know there is the 2nd leg to be played, but cannot see any problems for you there. Can you show us the competition tree for the quarter/semi-finals?

So our hopes of advancing from Group H seem extremely slim now after a 3-2 defeat at St. James Park against Lyon. It's disappointing to think that our home form has let us down in the competition and it's going to take a real miracle for us to turn things around in Lisbon. We'll give it a go and if it's meant to be it's meant to be but I'm thinking it's going to prove a mountain to big.

EDIT: I've checked on the head to head rules and to advance we'll need to win by two goals on the night in Lisbon, that's doable if we sort out our woeful fucking defending.


Doable, but extremely difficult now. Let's see how this plays out - you always have the "pillow" of Europa League, although it will be a bit disappointing to exit the Champions League so early after last year's run to the semi-finals.

A professional job against Sienna and the group didn't look that bad, although it has become really tricky after the loss against Sporting. You will need a result in Lisbon to qualify.

Good run on the League Cup: I don't think that Wycombe will surprise us, so we are waiting your opponent in the semi-final.

A bit unlucky with the 2nd part of the season - you could have won it with a couple of better results. Let's see how it will go this season - perhaps one of your targets will be to qualify from the Copa Libertadores group stage?

The team looks ready for the Siena games - I don't think they can be a serious obstacle on your way to the group stage. Hope the group draw is better than last year though.

That's a fantastic April and you have the chance to get in pole position if you win the game in hand; go get them!!

Good luck against Juventus. You look good in the league through the mid-season and a Champions League place is there for you to take.

Congratulations and good luck on the knockout stage. You should have won that game with Roma playing with 10 players for almost the whole game...especially after I predicted a win

Tough luck against Spartak, but I am confident you will beat Roma. I know you just need a draw, but I think you will win the game and qualify.

Unlucky against Liga de Quito - it was not your day. It's definitely getting a lot more difficult to advance now, as they were supposed to be the weakest team in the group.

Great win to get into the groups stage, though it seems like a lucky escape. Good luck in the groups - it may look difficult, but I think you can get the 2nd place and qualify.

Good luck in the Copa Libertadores. The team showed potential and the 4th place is not bad at all. Next round could be even better.

I think the winners of both rounds play against each other - not 100% sure though.

You are doing well so far, although Boca is enjoying the season. The kids will only get better.

Not a great start, but it's still early. Is the champion decided with a single game between the winners of Apertura and Clausura?

Wowww....from Ukraine to Argentina and River Plate!!! Good luck....guess you will have to win the League and the Copa Libertadores there to be successful. That's a tough task, but I am sure you will do well.

Tough luck with Tottenham, but that was a bad month in the League. You can still qualify for Europe though - just need to be careful in the last 2 games.

The team is heading to the final!!! This a magnificent European run getting to the quarter-finals!! Of course, it has affected you in the League, but hang on there - you can still make it to Europe next year.

Guess you are all smiles for seeing no red on the Balance

Congratulations!!! Fantastic away win in Lisbon and Wellington with a hat-trick: I think it's time to cash in on him in the summer. Is it Arsenal or Roma in the next round?

Good run on the league, you are pushing for European qualification again.

Congratulations on advancing to the knockout phase of the Europa League - Sporting is a touch draw, but if they are equal to Twente, you can make it through.

Any thoughts for the January transfer window?
