View attachment 256887Our lack of players doesn't stop us as Ntep turns on the class yet again. We move up to 5th after winning 5 in a row, I couldn't have forseen this when we were sat in 15th late last year.

View attachment 256847We stole that. Bastia looked solid at home, and we were happy with a point. That was until Dosso, in for the injred Baston today, popped up at the end to smash home. He scored his first goal against Bastia earlier this season, he's already found his bunny team.

Time for our new youth grads. As with Rennes previously, it is an impressive intake. Certainly a few stars that I will look to help with the best one being displayed below:
View attachment 256811What had the potential to be a tough tie actually turned out to be very straightforward. Two penalties for Ntep and a Diallo tap in saw us comfortably through to play...
... oh. Hmph.
View attachment 256802Another very impressive display as we continue our dominance in the league. We are one of the most dangerous teams in the league right now, and Europe should definitely be obtainable if we can continue our run.

Defeat was inevitable the moment the referee failed to rule out a blatantly offside goal from Bangoura. I'm more concerned about his failure to protect my players from some cowardly challenges from Nantes. Andre was forced off under heavy fire from their defenders, although thankfully he didn't take an injury from it. We go again though, 5/6th looks good currently, and 4th is not yet beyond the realms of possibility.

View attachment 256777That was extremely satisfying. This goes up there with the win over Lyon. It it also revenge over them for their last minute cup win, but also justification of the new brand of attacking football I have managed to instill at the club. We are announcing ourselves as an upcoming power in this league; long may it continue.

Going well man! Good luck for the semi, a big ask to beat PSG especially away from home!
Thanks! I'll be amazed if we win it, but I'll try and hit them hard anyway!

I've got a sneaky feeling you could ****** it!
I just realised we're both managing in France now xDI've got a sneaky feeling you could ****** it!
Haha, it seems like a good starting point! I'd love to go back to Spain one day, just to prove to myself more than anything that I can manage there and win silverware. England will be one for the future as well, would love to see Garcia back at Anfield again.

Yeah man that would be a great part to the story if you took over at Liverpool!

Well, I suppose that explains the current takeover bid!

View attachment 256763Disappointing, we switched off out there tonight. We can't let that happen in our next match, there is a cup final at stake.
View attachment 256561WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That was superb. Two of the stars of our season, Wilson and Ntep, pulled us back into the game when we were down, but there were contributions across the team. Special mentions go to Ngando and Dosso, who both came on in extra time and helped us pull it level; Ngando then buried his penalty in the shootout. Costil was stupendous as well, and got right behind the last penalty, putting us through.
Getting to the final has a further consequence of course. By getting there, we are guaranteed Europa League football next season, as Marseille, our opponents, are practically guaranteed to confirm Champions League. With that in mind, and a takeover looking likely, next season promises to be an entertaining one.
