Obviously complains about training, refuses to tutor ANYONE, his personality makes him a pain to complain to and often gets angry/upset and of course his ridiculous wages. Quite a good player on the pitch on this game to be fair, it's just off the pitch he's a bit of a *****
 

Week 3


Swansea Vs Man Utd
A trip to Wales is never a easy game. Former Man Utd player Angelo Henriquez will miss out with injury while there FM2008 strike force will hopefully not phase us too much.


Swansea 0-2 Man Utd

After the disasters of our away form last season this comfortable win was a blessing and a perfect ending to the 1st month of the season.

Tottenham draw at Hull while all the other teams win again. 3 wins from 3 and a perfect start to the season from United!



Champions League Draw
View attachment 312226
Despite being out of Europe for a year we only just missed out on a top seeding spot. Thanks to that we end up facing Barcelona. Olympiakos should be easy pickings Barca will never be easy but Monaco was the 4th seed that we wanted to avoid and they will make the group interesting.

The one missing off the list is Man Citys deadline day £11m purchase from Real Madrid Asier Illarramendi

Week 4


Man Utd vs Hull
Hull have relied on on new signing Danny Ings for most of there points so far. I had hoped to start using these home game for some of my youngsters but there mostly injured so no luck.


Man Utd 7-1 Hull
View attachment 312048
Januzaj & Falcao went nuts at Old Trafford and kept up our perfect start to the season. An afternoon of domination was only let down a bit by a very late consolation from Hull's Huddlestone

Big away wins for Arsenal & Chelsea who like United remain perfect while Tottenham get a great win against previously unbeaten Liverpool. Another side having a poor day was Man City at Everton who got a 3-1 win.


Champions League Match 1
Monaco 1-3 Man Utd
View attachment 312046
We dominated the 1st half despite falling behind. Once Balanta got injured we actually started playing better and the expected Januzaj goal set us up for a huge 3 points to start off with.

Week 5


Man Utd vs West Brom
My fellow Scot Alan Irvine has made a good start while waiting for star forward Berahino to get back from injury. Busy summer of frugile buying saw Anya, Micah Richards, Giaccherini, Demichelles & Pierre Webo for under £5m


Man Utd 3-1 West Brom
View attachment 311136
With Champions League action to deal with we now have to do some squad rotation which is probably why we were a bit off colour at home. Chris Brunt put us behind early on and it took a good half hour to get level then back ahead for half time. We had to keep pushing for the 3rd but it wasnt till the last 5 minutes that Gotze secured the points.

Top 3 stay perfect with 5/5. Liverpool like ourselves fought from behind to get back to winning ways. Spurs fumbled there way to a 3-3 draw against QPR while Man City went down to Chelsea.


League Cup 3rd Round
Man Utd 0-1 Swansea

We had the best of a poor game but Swansea struck the sucker punch that put our back up team out.

Week 6


Liverpool Vs Man Utd
The North West derby will be vital for early season dominance. Liverpool have already lost one game this year while United, Arsenal & Chelsea go into this week in perfect form.


Liverpool 0-1 Man Utd
View attachment 311133
A hard fought derby win. I thought when Rooney missed Pen no1 that Liverpool would go on to win but it stayed 0-0 till we won another penalty at the death and Rooney this time put it away to get a huge 3 points.


Table

Arsenal & Chelsea fought to keep there perfect records and it was the away team Chelsea that got the job done to stay equal top. Tottenham got back in the hunt with a big win at West Brom. Man City also got a win.


Champions League Match 2
Man Utd 8-0 Barcelona
View attachment 311131
Now this was just a whole new level of FM daftness. we've had games against Burnley with over 20 shots on target and no goals yet Barca let in 8! They were long since goosed a Januzaj, Rooney and a double from Rojo of all people had us 4 goals up before Vermaelen's red card sank there armada. Interesting game in Greece too where the total match goals from this group on the day was 17!!!

That's what klippybo was saying to me or warning me about and since the Barca game I've not played it again. Had a thrash through some old games but that results put me off a bit. Hope its not a regular problem going forward.
 

Week 7


QPR vs Man Utd
After the miracle at Old Trafford how will a more youthful side will fare heading down to London to face Arrys Lads. He's made a great loaning signing in Harry Kane from spurs scoring 7 goals in 7 games


QPR 1-5 Man Utd
View attachment 310649
Falcao clearly didnt get enough goals against Barca did he. It was not the walkover it appeared to be as it went into half time level at 1-1 after goal machine Harry Kane pulled Rangers level just before the break but a Falcao inspired second half saw Utd win very comfortably.

Table
View attachment 310648
Chelsea also get a big away win to keep there perfect record. Liverpool & Spurs also win to stay in the top 4 while Arsenal won at the Etihad to stay right on our tails and leave City 11 points of top spot already. Haha!

Week 8


Man Utd vs Crystal Palace
Two sides at opposite ends of the table. Neil Warnock has done very little improving or very little of anything except criticise my foreign legion.


Man Utd 4-0 Crystal Palace
View attachment 310537
Today was a walk over! 3 up by half a hour with help for Scott Dann who put the 3rd in himself. Hernandez came off the bench to add a 4th and keep the run going on.

Yep Chelsea are still perfect to, battling Huddersfield. Upset of the day came at the Brittania where Stoke handsomly beat Arsenal 2-0. Tottenham also dropped points with a 2-2 draw with West Ham.




Champions League Match 3
Olympiakos 1-4 Man Utd
View attachment 310535
Like most of our away game the win was not without drama. The greeks had the lead doing a United and taking a lead very early on but then Man Utd turned it on and were in front by half time. Superstars falcao & Di Maria put the icing on the cakeand were almost there. Will risk back ups in the last 2 games then perhaps have to go to the Nou Camp in must win mode to take the group?

Do you think you can win the CL this season, unbeaten in the league and in Europe.
 
methinks a joint game is the only way we can get a serious game going - no challenge against cpu

I've never managed a unbeaten season this early on. We'll mess ups somewhere especially if i start resting players.

True. i'll be in touch!!!
 

Week 9


Man Utd vs Tottenham
Top 4 rivals go at it at Old Trafford. Due to our home advantage i would expect a win especially without lead forward and leagues top scorer Roberto Soldado


Man Utd 3-1 Tottenham
View attachment 310489
Once again its a victory but we had to get through the opening half hour where Tottenham were in control. We finally decided to start playing and were all over them going into half time and after a hair dryer moment we came out even better in the 2nd half and the 3 goals we deserved was enough to turn the game around and get the improbable victory,


Table
View attachment 310487
Stoke couldnt repeat there form from last week as Chelsea did the business against them to also remain unbeaten. Arsenal drew to fall further off the pace with a goalless draw at home to Blackburn. Liverpool also found themselves on the wrong end of a result as they lost 2-0 at Newcastle. with Arsenal, Liverpool & Spurs all loosing Man Citys win at Palace moves them right into the fight for 3rd. Forgot about the picture

I can reveal there has been no talks formal or informal about a save. i'll only be answering questions about the game no questions about my future at United are welcome, Im doing better than LVG, Moyesey & Fergie

Week 10


West Ham vs Man Utd
Top 10 and only lost 2 games all season. This will be one of our tougher away games. They will be without main keeper Adrian!

We were poor in the 1st half but came out with a bang in the 2nd half as James Tomkins gave us the lead with a O'G. Di Maria made it 2 and i decided to put on the back ups and set up shop. James Collins pulling one back and making the last half hour more edgy was not in the plans but we held on and went 10/10

Chelsea thrashed Swansea but not as badly as Palace beat Blackburn 8-1!!! In fact all the top 6 teams won today.


Champions League Match 4
Man Utd 4-0 Olympiakos
View attachment 310426
Back up team scored 2 & Olympiakos put 2 o'gs in themselves to secure our last 16 spot. Barcelona had a goalless draw in Monaco to almost guarentee our place in the top spot with 1 more point. Victory against Monaco would be a perfect way to settle the group.

Week 11


Man Utd vs Charlton
Charlton are back in the premier league. I dont expect them to stay up after they have taken the well recognised trip to failure by buying championship players to try and stay up. great chance for Falcao to add to his goal tally before the international break


Man Utd 5-0 Charlton
View attachment 310171
Falcao did what he needed as United destroyed Charlton.


Table

Anything United can do Chelsea can do better as they win at Hull 5-0. Liverpool & Spurs both got wins but Man City & Arsenal couldnt get the job done on the road as the race for the top 4 goes on.

Week 12


Man Utd vs Southampton
The Saints have the misfortune of coming up to Old Trafford. One of the few mid table sides have improved with the addition of Gioud up front.


Man Utd 4-1 Southampton
View attachment 310137
Southampton made more of a fight of it than i was used to but we still took the win comfortably. Youth team defender Arran Welch's goal today makes him the youngest ever Premiership Scorer at 16 years and 148 days.

Week 13


Newcastle Vs Man Utd
A trip to St James's Park has many good and bad memorys for us United fans. We'll see if they can put the breaks on our awesome start.


Newcastle 0-2 Man Utd
View attachment 309861
No dangers as we put on one of our best ever away performances for me. Mata put us in the lead before half time and we kept up the performace in the 2nd half but took until the final minutes of it till Falcao made the game safe in the 93rd minute.


Table
View attachment 309860
Chelsea beat Liverpool to also go 13/13. Arsenal thumped Hull 4-0 to jump back into 3rd Man City also won by 4 goals & that with Tottenhams defeat at Southampton left the 4 challenging teams split by 2 points.
