#244127 Barclays Premier League 2014/15

Tim Sherwood is an Arsenal fan and apparently Bale, Defoe and Harry Redknapp followed Arsenal when they were younger as well. Never bothered me one bit. Actually it made me like them even more when I saw them do well or score in the derby games.

I don't know, i've never seen anything like it! My tactics tend to throw up some weird results from time to time but that one beats all of them.
EDIT: When I get a mad scoreline, I save the matches. The only one of these games I wasn't involved in was the Man City - Norwich game.

December had some tricky games in store for us. Well thats what I thought anyway. We started the month with draws away at Stoke and home to Southampton, thats not too bad. After that we easliy beat Burnley and drew away at Newcastle with a Salah treble. The last three games in December saw us face Chelsea, Spurs and Man Utd. Two of them were at home so I had hoped to get at least two points from these three games. By the time the Man Utd game came around, we had already got 6 points from Chelsea and Spurs. That softened the blow when the red devils eased passed us 5-2 at home.
The Chelsea game is listed below the fixtures because its so mad that it deserves a spot of its own. I will also say that on the day of the Chelsea game, Man City vs Norwich also saw an incredible scoreline with Norwich coming out 6-5 winners at the Etihad!
Prepare your eyeballs for the best victory i've ever had on FM. I don't know what else to say...
The race for the top four is on. Six points separate 4th and 10th and with Wigan, Southampton and Norwich also joining me in pursuit of the big boys, we could potentially see Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City all miss out on Champions League football!

If you think thats mad, wait until you see the game against Chelsea. I don't understand how Boro vs Chelsea produced the scoreline it did. Will update that when I reach the end of December.
This was pretty much my reaction:

Just the three games in November. The Fulham draw wasn't what we needed but at least it wasn't a loss. Everton game was a fair result. Going into the Hull game, I had a couple of players moaning at our poor league position and also had Tony Mowbray questioning Boro. I think I can safely say we shut them all up with a total demolition of Hull, Salah being the star of the show with 4 goals.
We've fallen away from the European places a bit, but if we can string a run of decent results together, we can climb back up the table and compete. Arsenal have capitulated since we beat them and are falling down the league. They've actually lost the last six domestic games.

Nope, no takeover at Norwich. Think they just managed to get them all on the cheap.

October
This month was a lot harder than September. Norwich (our bogey team), Man City, Arsenal and Wigan were our fixtures. The first game against Norwich wasn't great, although when you look at their squad, you can see why they are doing so well. They have Robin van Persie, Branislav Ivanovic, Martin Skrtel, Adam Lallana, Joao Moutinho & Nick Powell in their team. Man City was always going to be hard to get anything from but we did manage to pull off a 4-2 win away at Arsenal. The result wasn't the only pleasing thing there, we dominated the whole match from start to finish and could've had about 8 goals. Salah has been a superb replacement for Deulofeu so far. We finished October with another defeat to Wigan, this time in the league cup. I'm yet to go beyond the 4th round of a cup with Boro so far.
As you'd expect with that poor form, we have slipped down to 11th. Southampton are still unbeaten.

September was a nice month. None of the big boys were to be seen and apart from the bad result against Wigan, everything went well. Kike starting this season as he finish the last, hitting six goals from four games.
Only six games in, but all the big teams have started well and are all in the top half. Its looking as though its going to be a tough season trying to break into the European places. Our fixtures for October aren't too kind. Southampton and Wigan are the only teams still unbeaten.

Bentaleb & Mason have actually been quite good for us this season. It seems the Arsenal midfield, much like you, underestimated them and got what they deserved.

Love how Arsenal fans have been wanking over pictures of Kane in an Arsenal shirt recently. Its almost like they think Spurs fans actually care.

So your mate thinks talking in a belittling way about another mate will impress a woman? He has much to learn.

The new season is underway. We had a decent pre season with some good results against the likes of Bilbao and Juventus but it was all about our opening day fixture at Anfield. That has been a somewhat special ground in this career for me so far. I have visited three times with Stoke and Boro coming away with a 7-6 loss and 5-5 and 3-3 draws. Plenty of goals but could we win this time? Nope, a 4-3 loss to start the season. Thats 36 goals in my last four visits to Anfield now. The other games in August were wins against West Ham in the league and Doncaster in the league cup.
Not too much to report on the standings, but we are in 8th. 7th or higher would be great although I will be aiming for a European place of some kind.
With Harry Redknapp retired, it was down to Borat to do the drive through interviews on deadline day!
We had initially been given a good transfer budget to play with and strengthen our squad. We did just that with Neto and Wimmer but then had another large amount of money come in not far from deadline day and we went out to get a couple more players in. Sounds good, right?
Well it wasn't good. That extra money came in from the sale of Deulofeu to PSG for £24.5m. That was his release clause in his contract. I had offered him a new contract with bigger wages and an increased release clause of £35m that was agreed with his agent, but a week went by without him accepting or rejecting. Then PSG came in a took him away. I tried to get Grealish and Redmond but neither of their clubs would agree a fee. Then I found Salah going for £8m less than his value and snapped him up. At least we held on to Kike!

I saw Valencia play in the Bernabeu back in 2008 when they had Villa, Silva, Mata, Morientes, Marchena & Joaquin. What a team that was!

We had a nice end of season run in. I thought we could win every game except the away match at Man City. It started well with an easy 5-0 win against Swansea, but then we had a little blip picking up just 2 points from Wigan, Norwich & Liverpool. We got back to winning ways against Villa and followed that up with a surprising 4-3 victory at the Etihad having been 3-2 behind with 5 minutes to go. The season ended with a comfortable win over QPR.
If it wasn't for that poor start, we could've stolen that last European place away from Arsenal. 8th place is still a good finish though and we'll look to improve on that once again. We also finished up as leading scorers in the league again, scoring 5 more than last season. Our defensive record was much improved though as we conceded over 20 goals fewer than last season.
The board have given me a very generous amount of money to spend over the summer
We pretty much cleaned up the awards. I won the manager of the year which surprised me, but Deulofeu and Kike winning the others was well deserved. The record for most league goals in Premier League history was 34, but now Kike has pushed that right up to 44 after his incredible season. He actually scored as many as Aguero and Costa put together.

Thats the plan Johno although anywhere in the top half would be a decent finish.
