Thanks pal, good to hear you have enjoyed it.
 
OCTOBER!

This month was to be a massive month in our season, and the questions asked of our side this month would really shape our season. We had a few big games in both the league and the Champions League which would really show our resolve as a team and also our character.

Moscow V CSKA


Not the most of convincing of performances from us to be honest. But at this stage of the season it isn't how you play, it is how many points you pick up. Another advantage from this game was the fact that Guilherme came to make a comeback from injury today.


Real Madrid V CSKA

As the stats show; this was never worthy of a 3-0 defeat. It was an even game but at the end of the day their quality showed, we didn't take our chances and they did so they deserved to win it. Despite how far we have come, it really did show the gulf in quality between the two sides.


CSKA V Tom


Another lacklustre display today, but again it isnt the performance that counts. We were very unconvincing but a victory is a victory and Lacina Traore is starting to score a fair few goals now which is a very good side. This win also put us 3 points closer to retaining our league title which is a brilliant feeling.


Krylja Sovetov V CSKA


A really good win from us which put us within touching distance of the league. We have shown many times this season that we can blow teams away but today we showed that we can show some grit and determination and grind out a victory which is just as satisfying.


CSKA V Real Madrid


We took the lead this evening and for the first 15 minutes or so we looked very impressive. Unfortunately a couple of lapses in concentration and they made us pay. This is why I feel that I have just lost twice to the eventual winners of the competition. They showed us that unfortunately we aren't strong enough to win the Champions League this season but if we strengthen up in the transfer window we can come back and make a real fight of it next season.


The double defeat against Real Madrid didn't do wonders to our qualification hopes, but we are in a great position being level on points with Celtic having already played Madrid twice. Celtic's last two games are away to me and Real Madrid at home.


CSKA MOSCOW RETAIN THEIR LEAGUE TITLE!!!

Whilst we were playing against Madrid, Rubin Kazan were being held to a 1-1 draw against Dinamo Moscow which handed us the league title. To do so with four games left to play in the season is a massive achievement and I am very proud of the players. We now have the Champions League to focus on and aiming to qualify from the group stages.

''The players were very disappointed to drop points but at the 90 minute whistle having found that Rubin Kazan had dropped points the disappointment turned to ecstacy. Credit to the Real Madrid players and coaching staff, they congratulated us on our hard fought victory for the league and we gave them our dues for their victory as well, they played brilliantly.''
However the celebrations will be short lived as Whitehouse declared that the players will get one day off then they will get back to training as they have a couple of crucial Champions League games coming up.

NOVEMBER!
Our league performances weren't the focus of this month, it was all about qualifying from the Champions League group stage. We had a home game against Celtic followed by a tricky away tie to AEK.

CSKA V Saturn

This was never going to be an easy game for us seeing as we were resting some key players for the game against Celtic. But the players performed well and I delighted about how we put ourselves about.


Spartak Nalchik V CSKA

View attachment 31784

Again with a below par side being put out Tomas Necid stepped up to the plate and got his second goal in two games. Yet again he grabbed the plaudits and would this put him in good stead to start against Celtic?


CSKA V Terek

I would have been disappointed if this was not a convincing win. Terek are really a side I think would struggle in the BSP let alone the Russian Premier Division. Next up Celtic.


CSKA V Celtic

View attachment 31781

And they have qualified! From a group from at the start of the campaign looked pretty simple CSKA have qualified from it with relative ease. With my 3 most attacking minded players getting themselves on the scoresheet as well. With the important games out the way I felt the need for a well earned rest and took it upon myself to holiday the last two games of the season.


Lokomotiv Moscow V CSKA

View attachment 31787

I can't really comment on this as I was lying on a beach but the assistant manager did well, Lokomotiv are a good side and 3 points is 3 points at the end of the day. With Traore grabbing a 92nd minute winner the fans went into raptures.


AEK V CSKA

View attachment 31785

Another game that I was on holiday for and another game which we won without getting out of 2nd gear. However this game didn't matter and the most important day for us is in a couple of Fridays time when the 1st knockout phase draw takes place.


END OF SEASON REVIEW!

An easy Champions League campaign which we can look forward to commencing in February.

What a league performance! We broke all the records, goals conceded, scored, points, games won, winning streaks. It was incredible to be a part of and we are only going to get stronger.

After all the parties have finished, pre-season and Champions League draw update next.
 
Great results mate! Keep It Up!

Could you maybe give me some constructive criticism on my Liverpool story?

Thanks
 
Yes certainly mate, I will look at it now.

And guys at the moment I don't think this story is good enough, so I am just trying to think of ways to make it unique and stand out a bit.
 
I am thinking the same mate. I have took Keiths advice and hopefully it is a little better. I think we just got to stick together and give each other advice on how we can improve it
 
Yeah I must say, yours is looking very good. I do have a few ideas up my sleeve which I may put into practice in my next LEAGUE update, I won't do it with pre-season but there are some things that are a bit different that I would like to incorporate.
 
Yh if I like your ideas could I maybe steal them? lol
 
Yeah that's fine. I just need to test them first.
 
I want to see these new things mate! Update Update Update!!!
 
Not yet ;) I'm going to have to keep you waiting... I'm going to update pre-season as per normal but then when the league starts it gets interesting! Thanks for the eagerness though.
