European Super Cup
So this didn't get off to the start we wanted. We went down to a Jose Gimenez own goal after only 6 minutes, and then later on conceded another, this time Memphis Depay. We went into half time two down, and aggressive team talk an...
So the 2018 World Cup came and went and England got knocked out at the group stage, so Southgate got binned.
Time to make England a global giant too
Transfer Update
Like I said in the last update we had done some business with a number of newgens. The majority of those have already joined the club and then there are two South Americans who will be joining at the end of this coming season, and the end...

Champions League Final
Here. We. Go
Two strong teams, we could have had a stronger squad out there of course with Gimenez being cup-tied. Soler was away on international duty, and Kessié was forced to drop into centre back, and Werner was still...
German Cup Final
Pretty comfortable, it was the least tough opposition of all the semi finalists I think so drawing them I was always confident of lifting the trophy. Especially given our long unbeaten run against domestic opposition. We will have to g...
Bundesliga Review
So, we're at the end of the 2017/18 season. Last time I spoke about this we were level on points with Bayern and unbeaten heading into the winter break. How did the second half of the season go? Lets take a look...
So, we ended...
Champions League Semi Final
Here we go, time for the chance for revenge against Real Madrid who sent us packing last season. The first leg was at home...
First Leg
This was a nerve wracking 90 minutes. A really poor 10 minutes in the first half allow...
German Cup Semi Final
It was time for our first semi final revenge. This time was Bayer Leverkusen in the semi finals of the German Cup. After knocking us out in the Third Round last year and making it all the way to the final it was set to be a tough te...
Champions League Quarter Final
So here it is, the point we reached last season before being eliminated by Real Madrid. This time around we have the current Spanish champions, Barcelona.
First Leg
So the first leg was away at the Nou Camp
I said I w...
Champions League Last 16
As I showed earlier we were drawn against Benfica in the first knockout round of the champions league we had the away tie first. I usually prefer to be at home first and then we'll have an advantage with the away goals rule...
German Cup Quarter Final
This was much much more comfortable than I ever imagined it would be...
A completely dominant performance right from the off with some really impressive performances from our new boys. Kessié getting on the scoresheet f...
Well, transfer deadline day was certainly eventful. I don't usually do much business during the winter window I find it can ruin any momentum we had going into it.,
However, I knew Barcelona were interested in Marc Bartra going in and I'd prom...
Yeah it'll be a tough ask to beat them, but hopefully someone can do me a favour.
Benfica are certainly beatable, and some of the big hitters have drawn each other so some of those will be avoided in the quarter finals
Winter Break Domestic Update
It's Christmaaaaaaaas! (As a famous Wizzard once said) which means we are roughly halfway through the season and the players are off on their holidays for a few weeks and this i the perfect time for an update.
German C...
Champions League Group Stage Review
The Champions League group stage is over. I certainly believe that we were drawn into the group of death facing Chelsea, Lyon and Panathinaikos.
Here is how the table ended up...
So here we go then, topped the gro...
We're approaching the winter break so I'll do a Champions League and Bundesliga update soon, but here's a little spoiler. Always nice to get mail like this
Scoring would be overstating it, he's got 5 in 24 appearances
Thanks, Dan! If there's anything you want to see or want me to write about let me know and I'll do my best.
German Cup Second Round
The second round of the cup was a top flight clash against Hoffenheim, who are fighting for a Europa League spot in the Bundesliga.
We went down early on which was very disappointing, but we managed to get a goal back throug...
2017/18 Season - Update 1
9 games into the season and we're doing well, it just so happens that Bayern have had a better start than we have. We've have pretty similar starts to the season in terms of the calibre of teams we've faced.
A...
2017/18 Preseason
This was a big pre-season for me. I had little intention of really selling anybody, but would add if players would become available.
That wasn't the way things turned out. Aubameyang had been asking to leave for Real Madrid dur...
I'm already just over a season into this save so I'll be picking up from where we are now. My aim, well that's simple - I want to turn Dortmund into the dominant force in world football.
So what's happened in my first season
Transfe...

I take over Borussia Dortmund and try to make them the dominant force in Europe
Some really good results in the league. Picking up 4 wins and only one loss signifies a good period for us. The loss to Porto could prove costly though as like I said previously they're not conceding many goals so we now need other results to go ou...
5 games into the season and things are going well, although we haven't really played any of the top sides in the division. Apart from Sporting of course but that game didn't go to plan conceding the only goal of the game to a silly own goal....

"It's a great way to start the season. I know that there are a number of fans who don't see the Supertaca as a legitimate competition but for me it's a game which provides us with a real understanding of where we're at with our...
BREAKING Japanese star joins Benfica
Benfica have confirmed the signing of Japanese forward Yoshinori Muto. The 23 year old is able to play anywhere in the attacking third and will certainly be useful if Townsend is to be a success on multiple fronts t...
Townsend makes seasoned midfielder Fernando Gago his first signing at Estadio da Luz for an initial €5.5m saying that "Fernando brings a wealth of experience to this side and I have absolute faith that he will perform well in a holding role i...

When he left Benfica in 1962 Bela Guttman cursed the club, saying they would never win a European Trophy for 100 years. 54 years on and I'm here to do what even Eusebio couldn't do. Break Bela Guttman's Curse
