Spanish Cup

So we comfortably beat Rayo over two legs before facing At Madrid in the Quarter Finals, we beat them 2-1 at our place in the 1st leg before losing 3-2 in the return leg but went through on away goals.
In the Semi Finals we face Malaga beating them 1-0 at our place in the 1st leg before we shockingly got knocked out as Malaga rallied and beat us 2-0 back at their place.

So first off in Europe we took a pretty impressive 2 goal lead away from home against Liverpool before falling apart in the 2nd leg and just about hanging onto a draw.
Were still unbeaten in the league so far this season with 7 decent wins out of 8 whilst we only managed a bore draw against Malaga our current bogey team, Highlights have got to be putting 5 past Almeria and 7 past Alcoron.

Would love an unbeaten season. may be able to do it now ive filled the squad out with new players in recent transfer windows, Neymar will hopefully be getting a new deal its just some of this old guys dont like taking a pay cut! Busquets at 36 wanted a pay rise!

Ha Ha yeah ive had a couple but never this many, would love to keep Neymar but it all depends on if he drops his wage demands he is arguably still our best player despite his age

A proud day at Barca as 6 players get called up for Spain, we had been down to Samper for a while but now the youngsters are getting a chance and even 30 year old Grimaldo may get a chance to win his 1st cap.

Champions League

So we managed to edge past Liverpool 1-0 in the 2nd leg before drawing fellow Spanish side Valencia in the Quarter Finals. We only managed a bore draw at their place but when they came back to Camp Nou we smashed 5 past them including Neymar netting a hattrick.
The Semi Finals saw us face Man Utd were we lost 1-0 away from home in the 1st leg before winning the return leg 3-1 with Neymar netting a quick brace at the beginning of the second half to secure victory and set up a huge Final against the other Manchester Club.
In the league it was business as usual with 7 wins from 9 and we drew the other two meaning we are just 4 games away from an unbeaten season. You can also see that my son Ben Tonkin had a decent start to his career netting 4 times this month.

We won all 4 of our friendlies leading up to the World Cup including putting 4 past Brazil. We had a tough time of it in the group stages as we comfortably beat Saudi Arabia before losing to Germany in a hard fought 1-2 defeat. We had it all to play for against Peru but managed two close together goals early in the 2nd half and booked ourselves a place in the next round

What a match! We were 2-0 up early on but they struck back to set the match level, our more experienced players then turned on the style with Barkley, Sterling and AOC all netting in injury time to end the match 5-2.

When we face Spain in the Semi Finals of the World Cup it will be my 50th game in charge of England a feat i previously managed at International level when in charge of Spain.

Semi Final V Spain

View attachment 238032

A game with few chances after the Oxe netted in the opening few minutes of the match, Jorge Tello equalized for Spain half an hour in a player who i would have loved to of had at Barca before the brilliantly named Leonidas Bebis came of the bench to grab a late winner and set up a huge World Cup Final against Germany the team we lost to at the beginning of the tournament.

World Cup Final V Germany

View attachment 238031

We dominated the tie but it was Germany who took the lead thanks to a controversial penalty just after half time. We had a nervy wait until the 89th minute when Raheem Sterling netted to take the Final to extra time, he netted again 20 minutes later and looked to have won us the Cup before Germany got their own late equalizer and sent us to a penalty shoot out.
In what must be seen as a huge shock the English held the nerve in the penalty shoot out whilst the Germans did not and we lift the World Cup!

Summer Transfer Window - July 2026

Valencia Activate Javi Rivas's Release Clause

View attachment 237810

So i tried to offer Rivas a new deal worth over 100k a week more than he was currently on but he chose to leave instead, I just cannot believe that he would leave, i offered him £245k a week the same that hes getting paid at Valencia.
I just cannot believe this transfer its so unrealistic we have just won the League and Champions League whilst Valencia havent won the league in over 20 years, the money wasnt even that different and hes come from our ****** academy! Its not like hes some foreign mercenary hes come through our youth system and played over 250 games for us and he just goes and leaves for a worse team! WTF

View attachment 237809

So after that i was not in the best of moods so felt like bringing someone in that i had wanted for a while but felt was too much money.
He has to be considered the best Spanish player of 21 years of age or under and cost over £60Million from Fiorentina but i had the money to spend after Rivas deserted us.

Were favourites to retain our Title whilst our incoming and outgoings are the biggest two deals so far this season

That guy is an absolute monster! And tough to lose Rivas, though I'm sure you could find a striker with a better finishing stat
