#240442 Rise of the clarets
SBR
3 wins but each one as shaky as the last.The injury it mentions about royo is for the rest of the season.10 month with damaged cruciate ligaments.Shame aswell as he had just broke into the spain squad a few months before and had an impressive 5 goals in 7 games.While hojbjergs goal was deserved for us im not going to lie it was very tense and I didn't think it was going to come.High scoring game at Ipswich but luckily I was the winner.Angel correa had a great game.Another great game for correa in the spurs win.This last couple of months I have had a fair amount of injuries and had to play a lot of u18s players but looks like the worst is over.
Going good in the league.Top of the table but haven't really played the big boys.I will need to keep this up otherwise Chelsea will be on me like a tramp on chips.
This game was one of the two that featured 6 u18s players.Pashev saved my skin with 2 1st half goals.but they come back and got 2 themselves.Reiled on penalties to see me through.
Played this exact fixture a stage earlier last season which arsenal won 4-0.It is due to be played mid December but with us playing in the club world cup it will probably be postponed or rearranged.
Another game in which the u18s were used.Lucky to win this really and to rely on Jamie moores hat trick and a 68% fit angel correa to come on and get the winner.
Not top but still in contention.Need as many players back and fit if I am to keep up with Monaco.

Very bad defeat to Southampton.Dominated the match and I was unhappy it took so long to register a goal.Fantastic recovery with a 6-0 win at Fulham.Pashev again was immense and my standout player so far this season.Another good win against Swansea.Martinez has had a quiet season as he isn't the only amc now but was great with his 2 goals.Another good win against city next.Always do well against them these days and it was good to get one over diego simeone after what he said about the correa transfer.
Despite the Southampton loss things are going well.Cheslea are still looking good and that win at the ettihad proved to be vital.
Safely through to the next round of the league cup in a match which was never in question.
Portman road next against the premier leagues bottom side.Again shouldn't be much of a problem.
Not the best opening game for us against Monaco.We didn't deserve the draw really as they were all over us in terms of chances but we got a hard fought draw.Good recovery in turkey with a 2-1 win.Could of been a different score though as I think they could of drawn or won it.
Could be worse but still not too happy.Will need to win all remaining games I think if I want to win the group.

3 good games I think.Tough game to start with at arsenal but I am happy with a point.Hojbjerg scored a stunning volley from 30 yards.Great victory against everton and pashev was very good with 2 goals and an assist.He was equally impressive against forest with another 2 goals.He has certainly hit the ground running this season.
Looking well enough so far.Not thinking too much about the table so far as theres too much time to pass and plenty more that will change.
Good draw for me in the league cup.Should easily get through.
The champions league draw has been favourable to me too.Monaco will prove tough but fenerbache and partisan shouldn't be too difficult.Will surely be aiming for top spot.
Stadium will hopefully be made bigger at the end of the season.The local council have blocked before so they could do it again.Ideally I want a 60k stadium at some point though that might be over a decade away.

Crazy to think but we are now the highest valued club in world football.Only just and I don't actually know how they work it out.
Another very good link set up by my board this time.I decided to let them handle it after I chose the last couple.Happy enough with werder Bremen.
Russia wanted me in pre season.No thanks.
With each season with success the board keep raising expectations.Going to be even tougher to live up to them.
Great pre season.Royo and pashev in particular with a few goals were good.
Only 2 in this window so far and it will probably be only these.Ghiglione has been loaned out right away as he wont have no chance of competing for a 1st team spot yet but I think he will be great.Correa is someone I have wanted for a few seasons but never had the finances.A sale of a major player for me has made it possible to bring him in for a massive sum.I am really looking forward to him,martinez and zivkovic playing just behind pashev.
The transfers out at the top are just loans and free transfers.That sale of gil romero to real Madrid made the correa transfer happen.They have been sniffing around him for a couple of seasons but never made a bid.When they did come in with 49m I raised it up as high as I could.Going to miss him but got good youth at cm who will step up.Oliver and hojbjerg will be starting cm now with kleeman,janashia and jaupi as main backups.Funnily enough man city manager diego simeone has called the transfer of correa financially irresponsible.What he means by that I don't know but he cant really say much as he paid 32.5m for an untested 19 year old Mexican lb (while giving him 145k a week) and is paying Raheem sterling and kenedy 325 and 235k a week.Think its sour grapes really as I bought him from his last club and man city still consider themselves my rivals for the league.
First blood to man utd this season.Not too happy about losing a competition but it is only the community shield.
I thought this was played at the end of the month but it was played in between the community shield and the start of the prem season.Great win and very happy with correa getting 2 on his debut.

Great win against man city opened the month for me.I was expecting a tricky game but it could of been much better for me.Another good win against Newcastle.Them getting a man sent off very early on no doubt made the game a lot easier than it would of been.Was very nervous about the trip to white hart lane but I didn't need too.We crushed them.Jamie moore was incredible.A very nervy match at anfield.Chelsea had drifted off and weren't able to cath up on the final day but we had a trip to anfield and man utd at that point were 2 points behind us and faced a trip to carrow road to face Norwich.We did have a better goal difference so I was confidant but anything can happen.So has that draw cost us?Did that late equalizer from us make a difference?
It didn't matter one bit.Noriwch did me a massive favour with a 3-2 win.Our 2nd league title in a row and with Martinez injured for the last couple of months and not playing Adrian rodriguez at all due to poor form we showed we didn't need them 2 that much.
This was never in doubt.Great win and now retained the FA cup too.
Great 2 wins to get through to the champions league final.Pashev was the difference in these 2 matches with 3 of the 5 goals coming from him.
Another great performance from the lads.A very even game and I was fearing it wouldn't happen when diego costa scored early on but we managed an equalizer thanks to an own goal before hojbjerg managed to grab the winner.The treble completed and way ahead of schedule for the champions league win.
Sporting in the super cup next season.Pretty sure I can beat them.
Very happy for these 2 retaining they're awards of last season.
I also have retained the manager of the year.
One of my youngsters has got an award too with taron dean getting the championship player of the year.
While not being as prolific as last year in the league damyan pashev has got the champions league golden boot.He has been on fire in the knockout stages.
Zivkovic has had a great season and not surprised to see him get this.Martinez would of put up more of a fight if he hadn't of been injured I think.
Good to see our sponsorship has gone up a lot.More than tripled in fact.That champions league win would of counted a lot for that im sure.The shirt sales haven't surprised me much.

Not too bad but still isn't performing good enough for regular first team spot.
Horrible result against Chelsea as they dominated from start to finish.The Southampton comeback was incredible.Great determination from the lads but we was very lucky with the late goal in injury time.Another good win at Swansea but our defending was horrible.Another poor defensive display to let Huddersfield come back from 2 down but royo had a good game.
Man utd have had a great month whereas Chelsea and ourselves have dropped points.Very tight and it could be anyones.We do have some tough games left though so I don't think we will win it.
A good defensive performance and I was worried all the way through after zivkovic got himself sent off in the 2nd minute.Good to win on penalties though and reach our 2nd successive FA cup final.
Where we will play everton.I think we can and will win it again.I don't think it could of gone better for us.
Only the 17 goals in the 2 ties.Crazy match in the 1st leg.After being 4 down in the 12th minute I didn't think we stood a chance but I will admit I thought about my own teams 4-4 draw against arsenal when ckeik tiote scored that wonder volley to level late on.Great comeback largely thanks to damyan pashev.Good result in the 2nd leg and again pashev was immense.Now through to our 1st semi final in the champions league.Hopefully we can get a good draw and give us every chance of reaching the final.
Man utd stand in our way.Only won 3 out of 18 games against them in this career but encouragingly 2 of those have been in the last 3 games.I would of much preferred schalke but I am happy to avoid Chelsea.

Make a point of hiring scouts and coaches from all over the world even if theyre not great.Not sent the scouts out in a while so ill be doing that shortly.
Maximum points this month with 2 decent wins.One very bad part of this month as you might of seen in the first match is tomas Martinez got a broken ankle after a tackle by jose callejon and is now out for another 4 months.That injury could break my entire season.
Back on top now.Chelsea have just lost at west ham to ensure our return to the summit but with Chelsea away in the first match of april that could soon change.Man utd are still lingering about but I don't know if they can catch and overtake us both in the last couple of months.
I wasn't confidant going into this match but a superb win.A very good defensive display.Only 2 wins from retaining the FA cup.
Couldn't of got a tougher draw though.Chelsea are my biggest rivals for the league and now I have to beat them to get to the final.An all Merseyside affair in the other tie should be tasty.
After a 6-2 win in the first leg I was always thinking I would be through.Happy they got the job done but it was much easier once they went down to 10 men.Happy with danilo fabiano getting his first for the club.
That draw couldn't of got any better for us with the 4 toughest teams all playing each other and if we get the winner of schalke and cska I think we will make the final.

Great win against man utd to start the month of.Could of gone either way to be honest but glad it went my way.Didn't deserve anything from the Norwich game as they bossed it but we took our best chances for a good 2-0 win.The Nottingham forest match really annoyed me.Were fighting for the title and they're battling relegation and we also dominated the match but lost it.We was in great form before the match and to lose like that is frustrating.Arsenal have had the upper hand on us for a while now.They were all over us really but I felt we could of got a point.Just a stupid foul by rodriguez let stones score from the spot.Good recovery from the 2 losses with a good win against sunderland who lost the week before 5-0 to Chelsea.Zivkovic has really stepped it up this season and got a great hat trick.
Not top but still in a good position.Man utd aren't looking that good anymore and it could turn out to be a 2 horse race though as we all know man utd have the ability to come back strong.I have yet to go to Stamford bridge so that could be make or break for us.
Very good win to send us through against tottneham.Zivkovic again in great form.He has had a fantastic season and actually leads our scoring charts though royo,pashev and vadala have all had injury problems this season.
Very tough trip to the emirates next for me and it will be made all the tougher as I dont have a recognized senior striker fit with pashev,moore,vadala and royo all out injured.With them winning 4 of the last 6 games against us and drawing 1 of the others ill consider them overwhelming favourites.Zivkovic has been great as said before so he will be leading the line for us.
