So... during a month where our team was ravaged by injuries it did not quite go to plan...

MOTM: Olivier Giroud (Arsenal)
I just don't know what happened... we were appalling in this game and Arsenal rightly punished us for it, and that injury to Barkley put him out for 2 weeks. Also no Volland for 3 games will see if we can handle not having him.

MOTM: Lucas Romero (Newcastle United)
More injuries! We had that many injuries before this game we were only able to have 5 subs! Juventus were the slightly better side so it is probably the correct result, but glad we got the important away goal!

MOTM: Kostas Mitroglou (Southampton)
We were actually the better side this game, even with me having to field a much weaker side featuring 3 18 year olds! We just did not have what it takes to make our chances count this game and this means the FA Cup will elude us again for yet another season!

MOTM: Jonathan Tah (Newcastle United)
We managed to have 6 subs this game! At home we stood strong and controlled the game, kept the ball (58% possession) and made it hard for Juventus to make any chances! Thanks to the away goal we are in to the Semis!

MOTM: Ross Barkley (Newcastle United)
Was finally able to put a pretty decent side out again as most of the injured players return and it showed the quality was back as we tore Fulham apart and from the off they had no chance!

MOTM: Kevin Volland (Newcastle United)
Well... I certainly wasn't expecting this! Clearly everyone who was back from injury were really up for this as we battered Madrid and completely outplayed them... away at Madrid, and saying they are currently unbeaten in the league this was an incredible win! Surely in the Final!

MOTM: Nicusor Stanciu (Man Utd)
Was good to see Avdijaj could step up well to replace Volland in such a big game as it was very end to end with lots of action (28 shots) and either of us could have won it with just a bit better finishing!

MOTM: Luke Shaw (Newcastle United)
Madrid came out all guns blazing in this leg and I am quite surprised we managed to hold them to a draw, as they absolutely hammered us and came at us full force, but our defence held strong and we are now through to the final!

MOTM: Andre Schurrle (Everton)
I just don't know how we didn't win this... I mean... look!

2 shots 2 goals and they win the game! Look at the amount of shots we had!!!!! We really should have won this comfortably as well... god ****!

League
View attachment 392921
Even with our poor month we still sit 6 points clear of Chelsea, and will still be 5 clear of Man Utd if they win their game in hand... think the league is definitely ours as long as we don't somehow lose all our remaining games!
Champions League
So we made it through to the final where we will play...

Manchester United! All English Final! We have done pretty well when we have played them this season so I think we can win this!!

Best Player of April

Luke Shaw
With all the injuries Shaw still got to be a mainstay in the team and had some very good games against the likes of Fulham and Madrid so I think he deserves it!

World Rankings
So the World Rankings for the National Teams has been released...

So with my 7 wins out of 7 with Spain we have moved up to 1st, taking over England who drop down to 2nd! Incredible to see Colombia in 4th!
