It would appear 4 is our favourite number. Ahead of Man Utd by one win, into another final and Barca on the horizon. Cool.
Doumbia was moaning about not playing enough so i cashed in. £14M for 30 year old and all profit. Not bad.

Yet another trophy in the cabinet and a great result against a (very inexperienced) Barca side.
Some cool stuff after the League Cup Final:

Jesus the Champions League is tough! We put up a decent fight but Munich were too strong. On the plus side we can concentrate on the league while Man utd are still in Europe. It looks like it's gonna go to the last game of the season!​

Top of the league and top of the champions league group. The West Brom game was weird. We only learned how to play in extra time, and then we destroyed them.​
