Huth(3), Sturridge, Lezzi, Cahill

This result was a bit of a shocker! The lads played superb and got a great win and scoreline from it! Lezzi scored which will give him a massive confidence boost, but the highlight was Robert Huth getting a first half hat trick! Three headers, well done lads.

Update tomorrow guys :) Any thoughts??​
 
You'll definitely win the triple,as far as i can see.The only thing left to do after that is win the CL and World cup!
 
Amazing story, started reading it all last night but unfortunately I had to sleep:L I love it at the moment, it feels so real and the when you talk to the chairmen and do comments by fans it makes everything seem so realistic. Anyway from a few posts ago I'd much rather have quality than quantity and this is the beststory i've seen on here.

Burrows’ View​

A good month from my lads, we are still unbeaten in about 45 games which is a fantastic achievement from any team! We are pulling off a big gap between us and our title rivals. I have worked out that if we win nine matches out of then last twelve games then we will of retained our title! That’s a little motivation that I have told the lads!


********************************************************************* ​
 
Great story mate, Stoke are an interesting team to manage. You have Niang which is awesome, he'll be amazing for years to come!
 
Nice story and a good read. Quick question, who is Newcastle's manager as I take it Pardew got the bullet! Shearer? Pulis? Lee Clark?

League Cup Final 2014
Manchester City vs. Stoke City

The final is finally upon us. Here today at Wembley we have oil-rich Manchester City against League leaders Stoke City. Once again Jake has lead Stoke into another domestic final and his second league cup final in his three years in charge at the club. Manchester City are here to win a trophy and will look to get the win here today. Louis Van Gaal and Jake Burrows have an ongoing feud coming up to this match with both managers playing games with the other. We’ll have to see if they get along or both start a brawl!

Team News

Manchester City

Van Gaal has decided against playing Yaya Toure as he puts Englishman James Milner and Dutch international De Jong in the central roles instead. With Aguero injured and Dzeko in form, it’s him that’s starts up front. Hart is in goal, the ever present keeper has been in top form in recent weeks and will look to carry on his form.

Stoke City

Manager Burrows has opted against playing Begovic in this match as he stated Lindegaard more than deserves to play, with a record of 23 games, 13 let in this season to his name. Roysten Drenthe, who has been City’s best player in recent weeks is playing ahead of Etherington and the usual pair of Cisse and Niang start up front with Nilmar demoted to the bench.


League Cup Final 2014
Manchester City 1 vs. 3 Stoke City
Shawcross, Cisse, Niang

What a win!!! I cant quite believe it. People say that the League cup doesn’t really mean nothing. I certainly disagree! It’s what football is about, trophies, wins! Fantastic effort from the lads once again! We started off quite equal… for the first 4 minutes until they scored. Not the best of the starts however I told the lads not to let their head drop and carry on playing football how we knew we could. As the half went on, we got more chances and could of equalised through Cisse but the shot went straight at Hart. The Half time whistle went and probably at the best time for Manchester City players. 1-0 down at half time, unlucky lads!

The second half kicked off, with City having a few chances. It came down to a free-kick on the edge of the area. Pennant whipped it in from the right hand side, and all I saw was Ryan leaping up connect with the ball and straight in it went! 1-1, Come on lads!
As the second half wore on, both teams had their chances but both keepers were there and ready to keep the score down to a minimum. The last tens minutes went by like a flash, unbelievable stuff went on! In the 83minute the ball dropped to Papiss Cisse, and no the ball ended up in the net! The crowd went wild, Stoke fans were going crazy! 2-1, 7 minutes to go. I told the lads, concentrate use their brains to play their opponents. With the game drawing to a near, Man City were piling players forward, the third and most decisive goal came from a counter attack, well worked from a defensive corner, the lads ran, 3 on 1. Niang got the ball and ran with it, took his shot and it flew into the corner!! 3-1. We are the Champions!!

What a great win! Tottenham gave it there all and we just about managed to get the win.

We have 78 points with Chelsea on 66. This was also our 50th game unbeaten, Well done lads and thank you for all the effort.
