Bad luck in the CL mate, not out of Europe yet though? Should have Europa football now.

Yeah we're in the Europa but it's nothing on Big ears!

Theres something about playing the Champions League games that grips me! I've been in the Europa twice and won it twice though so my record is pretty good there!

Oh I know, Europa always seems more like a chore to me, Europa is still better for the finances then no European competition though.

Definitely, I'd rather have Europe than nothing! But if we're looking at a serious challenge for the top 4/maybe an outsider for the title then it could cause problems!

I'm happy with the draw. I think we will easily coast past Granada over the two legs as we have the quality to. When a team comes to the Stadium of light it's very rare they leave with a win. The draw for the last 16 is much tougher though. Napoli are a well established team and so are French outfit Lyon. I think we will have a better game in the last 16 than the last 32. I'm looking forward to seeing if we can win this competition again.​

Another win in the league and a lovely send off for Sturridge. Roberts will be out for a few games so I thought it would be the right time to give him a game before he leaves. He scored a really nice finish and the fans went wild. Ward-Prowse kept his astonishing form up by controlling the midfield, he's finally showing me what I wanted to see when he was at Liverpool. Great player.​

I was over the moon to get this win today! After everything Everton Football Club have put me through to come to Goodison Park and win is the best feeling in the world. Dybala's movement today was incredible. He found himself in behind Okore a few times. More goals for Ward Prowse and Calhanoglu too! We're starting to look like a real force in the league.​

Sunderland's Balotelli Bid Accepted
View attachment 239656Would Balotelli fit Sunderland's style of play?

Sunderland have had a bid accepted in the region of £2 million for Mario Balotelli. Balotelli, 32, has made just 3 starts this season for PSG and is thought to have grown frustrated by the lack of playing time he is receiving from his manager. A source close to Balotelli has claimed the striker is updet by the lack of respect shown by manager Carlos Barra. As Balotelli has been a key player to the French club in the past 6 seasons. His agent has responded to the bid being accepted.

"Mario really took a shine to Sunderland when he played them in the Champions League this year. He liked the fact they have been built up and likes the direction they are going in. He has a huge admiration for Jamie Carragher and how he deals with his players. He wants to keep winning trophies as he knows he may not have too many years left in the tank now, and he feels he has the best chance to do this at Sunderland. We've entered talks and so far they have been positive so I would not be surprised if Mario was a Sunderland player in the next few weeks."

Betting has been suspended by all major bookmakers for the transfer since his agent has spoken as it is unusual of an agent to come out with so much detail of a transfer. Balotelli would give major competition to Argentine Dybala, who really has founf his form this season after netting 10 goals in 17 games in the Premier League this season.​

So I thought I would type in my name and sign the best player with my actual name. There was only one who come up, and although he doesn't look like me and doesn't look to special. I thought I would get him in the Under 21s team.​

Finally caught up! Lots of drama.

Too bad the Denmark thing didn't work out very well, but you gave it your best shot!
Sunderland seem to be on the rise. Commiserations on the Champions League exit but you have another shot at the Europa League. Good luck with that. :)

Haha yeah there must have been a bit before you caught up :P

Thanks man, yeah the aim for top 7 then became top 4 but as the league stands I might even mount a title challenge!

Hopefully we win the Europa again :D

5-0 and a complete whitewash of Spurs. I wonder how they feel now for sacking me all those years ago? They find themselves bottom of the league and the look like they could struggle to make it out again. It must be ard to take if you were a Spurs fan. Dybala and Depay both hit 2 goals today and it didn't take Roberts long to get back into the action. Dybala wen't on to miss 3 sitters and failed to claim his hat-trick, great performance though. This front 3 are becoming deadly.​

Get in! A win against United is always sweet but from mine and Stevens background it's even sweeter. I was surprised how much we dominated the game considering they pulled us apart on the opening game of the season. Kyle Walker scored his first goal for the club to put us 1-0 up. We had no surprise who equalised for United as Hogg made it 4 games in a row where he scored past me. But former United man Roberts had the last laugh and scored a lovely finish. He always comes up when needed!​
 
I think in your next team you need to buy Ronaldo, Hogg and Volland as your front 3!

December Review
View attachment 239606
The perfect month for us, I haven't seen one of these in a while. It was tough to take going out of the Champions League but we've really kicked on since. Pushing up the table with out results.

We're now second in the league and only by goal difference. I can only see things getting better by bringing Balotelli in and I'm hoping he can help us push on to a possible title challenge. I'm not sure if this form can keep up as we have plenty of games but if we can keep it up I wan't to go all the way.

Next month is an easy month for us so I'm hoping we can push forward and steal top spot off Arsenal. We also start our F.A Cup campaign off with a trip to rivals Middlesbrough. ​
