The Norwich was because of complacency it would appear, they just didnt seem interested. Guess they were back on form against Sunderland though with Pedraza scoring on his first game back from injury. I really believe he can become one of the best strikers in the world.​

Yet another good month. Ibrahimovic has signed a one year contract extension after playing 15 games. As you can see Pedraza is scoring a couple still, at the age of 19. Here is how he is improving.

More silverware for the Swans! I cannot tell you who proud i was when Pedraza scored the winner (sad, i know). Well at least he has repaid my faith in him. So far this season he has 11 goals and 11 assists in 13 games. Very impressive for a 19 year old. Plus we may even be on for the title! Maybe.​

A difficult month but i think we did pretty well. Both league matches against United was a bit harsh but a draw and a loss isn't horrific. Worryingly Cavani has stopped scoring at the worst possible time...​

So another two finals to go to! The defence seems solid at the moment, although the attack does not.
Unfortunatly the premier league title has slipped away and city have won it with a couple of games to go. Due to suspension i had to give a debut to a recently signed 19 year old regen against liverpool, and he got man of the match! Here he is:

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Bit of Deja vu at the Europa final, same opposition, same stadium and same winner! The Fa cup final was utterly ridiculous, hence the screenshot. Oh and i'm now in the English Hall of fame too.​

Most of the time on only commentary, so i can get through seasons quickly. If its a cup final or something i'll watch them on key though.
