Steve Bruce earlier announced that he was going to step down as Sunderland boss and take some time out of football. It was thought that the Black Cats would take a number of days to appoint a new man, however, they have tonight announced that Chris Moffatt, the former Irish international and...

Yes, Fleck, Wilshere, Shawcross and Ramos are all playing often. They're rotation player and play against the lower premiership teams. Shawcross in particular plays reguarly and Jonny Evans (although not brought in) has played more games than anyone else in the squad. As well as this Macheda...

Liverpool 1 - 3 Manchester United Rooney 14, Berbatov pen 26, 36, Plessis 78 A good solid win against an in from Liverpool, Berbatov again playing some great stuff and Rooney can't seem to miss. Carling Cup 4th Round Middlesborough 1 - 2 Manchester United O'Neill 10, Fleck 42, Owen 70 Another...

Rio Ferdinand ruled out for upto 3 months Community Shield Chelsea 2 - 1 United Berbatov 15, Cassano 66, Lampard 74 A close game where we played alot of our younger players, we did reasonably well and are not too disheartened by this. Manchester City 0 - 1 Manchester United Rooney 82 A...

Yes, i know. I'll be bringing in Rodwell next summer so I'm hoping to have a Rodwell, Wilshere, Bostock midfield. Jonny Evans and Ryan Shawcross have both played more games this season than both Vidic and Ferdinand and have played fantastically so they're coming to fruition as the future United...

I have decided to take on a Manchester United game, however, i will be focusing almost entirely on youth. Especially British and Irish youth where possible. I feel the first season is important to bring in plenty of wonderkids and let them develop and flourish, however, by the second season i...

Sunderland 1 - 1 West Ham Campbell 68 Noble 87 A late equaliser from the skipper saves us from the brink of a travesty of a defeat, we should have picked up 3 points. We're playing some great football. Galatasary 2 - 2 West Ham Cole 7, Emre 67. Dzeko 75, Baros 90 Again, very unlucky. They...

Right, the new season commences. We brought in Rodwell, Dirk Kuyt, Edin Dzeko and James Milner in pre-season. Hopefully they can enhance the squad as well as the likes of Cole, Noble, Ashton, Collison and Upson maintaining their great performances from last season. We decided againt securing...

End of season update: Summary: Overall, I am pleased with this season. My initial expectations were simply to avoid relegation while building a young, British side that could challenge for Europe next season. To qualify for Europe in my first season is a great achivement. Player of the season...

Stoke City 1 - 5 West Ham Ashton 6, 38, 47, 61 Huth 65, Jiminez 85 A cracking performance especially from Dean, if he can keep fit next season he should be able to get at least 20+ league goals. FA Cup Semi Final Chelsea 1 - 1 West Ham (West Ham win 3-2 on pens) Beckham 47, Liedson 90+2 What...

Well the takeover hasn't changed much, we're still in debt. Not quite as much though, he didn't mention anything about transfer funds but i'm hoping i can at least get more money to spend than this year :) Here's the league. as you can see it has been a crazy season:

West ham 1 - 1 Fulham Elm 22, Noble 42, m/pen 54 Disappointing result, we outplayed them and obviously, missed a penalty. Need to start stringing some wins together. West Ham 3 - 0 Wigan Cole 35, Upson 58, 90 A good win and three points in the bag. We played nice, direct, attacking football...

as in bursting other team's bubbles. Instead of blowing them... ...I was tired at the time :)

West Ham 2 - 3 Stoke City Collison 23, Cole 30, Kitson 37, Tuncay 71, Huth 81 Heart-breaking. After a tough run we targeted this as the game to return to winning form but after going 2-0 we couldn't keep the ball and Stoke were clinical. Wigan 0 - 0 West Ham Plenty of chances but unable to...
