Good Half - January 2031 Alright, this is more like it! We successfully navigate our EURO Cup group with ease, after the media projected it as one of the tougher groups. We also juggled the tight schedule around both competitions to have some of our best Premier League success to...

EURO CUP - Group Stage Match One Without a doubt our biggest competition in the Group Stage, Fiorentina finished 5th in the Serie A last season but my boys were ready to go with a clinical performance. Our new signing David Bartusiak notched a hat trick. Again, just $2.4m for this guy this...

EURO CUP - PLAYOFF BATE showed little resistance. A nice 3-0 aggregate win for the good guys and a nice $2.91m payday for reaching the Group Stage!

EURO CUP - THIRD QUALIFYING ROUND We steamrolled the opposition 7-0 on aggregate in my European debut. Not much to say about it, we were just superior. They were no better than a mid-table Sky Bet League One side. We drew BATE Borisov in the upcoming playoff to reach the Group Stage...

SUMMER 2030 There were only two squad players that left the team this summer. DL Raul Rego left for $6.5m to Hamburg, I had brought him in my first January transfer window for $3.7m when I first arrived at Palace a couple seasons back. He had fallen to a rotational role this past year and...

We finished the season like we started it. Flat. A slight dip from last season's results but I'll take this and an EFL Cup trophy any day! We have a huge off season ahead with a nice large $70m transfer kitty to work with. Time to bring in some studs!

WEMBLEY I'm pulling every single trick I have in my arsenal to get my boys to fire today! I usually play down our chances and praise my opponents but when I want a big win in a big match, I play up our chances and instill confidence! Tactics I'm using a variation of my normal tactic...

LOL. Well played Football Manager... Well played.. Literally two days before the EFL Cup Final.. My 3.5-star starting Goalkeeper, Gerardo Diaz, 28 apps, 31 allowed, 3 pom, 6.97 rating and my 3.5-star right fullback, Gwendal Lafitte, 24 apps, 2 pom, 7.15 rating both get injuries. I lose a...

EFL CUP DREAMS? A mediocre and disappointing Premier League campaign sees us secure just 2 wins, 3 draws in the first 9 league matches of the 2017. But a phenomenal EFL Cup Semi Final Second Leg turn around vs Tottenham have send us into the EFL Cup Final against CHELSEA. The perennial...

2029 FIRST HALF ROLLER COASTER WOW, what a crazy start to the season! We started the season well enough, 2 wins in our first 4 matches with two narrow 0-1 losses to Liverpool and Man City where we played well. I was encouraged by our start to the campaign. Then it fell apart in the League...

SUMMER 2029 Well it appears we did come up short of Europe, but the good news is that I have my squad to the the point where a minimal quantity of upgrades are necessary each year. - Board agreed to expand seating by 3,000. This will bring Selhurst Park to 29,260 when construction is complete...

Arsenal DID win the Champions League, 2-1 extra time over Barca. Did that affect a placing? For reading that, I understood that 7th automatically gets it, and from reading wiki below, I thought if the FA Cup doubles up on one, it goes to the 8th spot? It also says that the minimum quota...

Hmmm.. Okay.. so I lost to Tottenham, Arsenal won, and Newcastle lost, so I finished 8th. Manchester United won the FA Cup. They cannot use the spot, since they qualified for Champions League, so the Euro Cup placing goes to the 8th place team correct? From what I can tell, I was not...

PALACE SILENCE BLUEBIRDS Crystal Palace didn't play very well in the first half despite the one goal lead, but the second half was much more their style as they thoroughly controlled Cardiff, who are now destined for relegation after a Huddersfield win. Newcastle took care of business...

ARSENAL WIN THRILLER An edge of the seat first half turned into a touch and go second half where Declan Matthews delivered a hat trick for the home team in the 80th minute, the 22nd goal in all competitions for the 27yo England international. Newcastle drew Liverpool 1-1, leaving the future...
