Ghana at the world cup
Hoping to get into the knockout phase despite a tricky group hopfully we'll get to at least the quarterfinals
Warm up match
Holland 2-2 Ghana
Gyan, muntari
holland dominated the game but we can feel unlucky having been 2-0 up after 53 minutes but two late late goals from seedorf ment we had to settle for the draw

ghana 1-1 Ukraine
Muntari
We were quite unlucky had a deserved lead just before half time but conceadeda penalty with 20 minutes to go and despite a strong charge at the end we just couldnt find a winner, this will probably mean we have to get a better goal difference against golland and costa rica to qualify

holland 5-1 ghana
ayew
Would have rather done this in the warm up game, stats were almost identical as well, just we had less shots here. Will need a 6 goal swing in goal difference to get through!

ghana 3-0 costa rica
gyan, essien, bekoe
we did what we could but holland only won 2-1 so we were two goals short of what we needed and thus end my venture at the world cup and with Ghana
 
summer 2010
done a small bit of wheeling and dealing through the summer. Decided from my first team that makaay, mido and taylor werent up to the premiership so sold them loaned out most of my 18-21 year olds who wouldnt be in the first team to raise there value or experiance. Decided that i'd have to build the defence since that was our weekest spot last season. Got Jose Angel to replace taylor at left back, Obinna was a free for inter who might break through up front, Caceres from barca for a bargain £1.7m and Ochoa for a less bargain £9m but as he's raited at 5 stars in my report i feel its money well spent. Were still left very weak in premiership terms going forward and will probably try and improve on one of those postions since theres still £8m in the bank
 
middlesbrough 0-0 fulham
zzzzzz how we didnt win here is beyond me dominated this game

man city 2-2 middlesbrough
johnson, pacheco
were 2-0 down at half time just played the second half without looking thinking the game had gone came back from making tea and we'd got a point from eastlands superb

middlesbrough 1-2 arsenal
o'neil
pretty unlucky here gave them a good fight but probably used our luck against man city to be fair

brighton 1-4 middlesbrough
lewandowski, angel, lita 2

everton 1-0 middlesbrough
just a game to show how weak we are up front but thae fact we deserved a draw shows defensivley were not bad!

middlesbrough 1-1 blackburn
lewandowski
took the lead just on half time, was looking good for a win when digard got sent off we fell apart and judge took advantage to earn blackburn a point

west ham 1-2 middlesbrough
lita, caceres
was 1-0 down and a man short from hte 18th minute but two goals in ht last 10 minutes got us the 3 points here

middlesbrough 2-1 hull - leauge cup 3rd round
o'g, O'neil
bit close for comfort there but were throguh so some more cash in the coffers

middlesbrough 2-0 stoke
arca, obinna
this premier leauge melarki isnt as hard as it should be, well not when were at home to rubbish anyway!

oct 1st - jose angel named young player of the month
good signing it would appear, thought it would take a few seasons for him to settle in but a great starts welcome

wigan 3-0 middlesbrough
first game we've been firmly outplayed and deeserved to be humped

middlesbrough 3-5 man utd
lita, digard, o'neil
put up a very strong fight but rooney and his 4 goals were too much for us today

middlesbrough 2-1 aston villa
wheater, lita
brought lita back into the fold after lewandowski and obinna werent getting the goals and i think it might be the difference, never seen him do this well in any other fm10 game

middlesbrough 2-1 stoke - leauge cup 4th round
jenssen, rodriguez
****** last minute equaliser forced us to extra time where our younger legs and home advantage took charge and rodriguez first goal of the season got us through

chelsea 1-1 middlesbrough
lita
another great reasult against a top 4 team, afa happy

tottenaham 2-2 middlesbrough
lewandowski 2
Another occasion where at 2-0 down it was beyond us so i threw on the kids and like magic its 2-2 come full time

another note from just after this game is that we've got milevski on a precontract so watch out premiership as we now have our 20 goal a season striker. a snip at £7.5m i think

middlesbrough 1-0 liverpool
lewandowski
another gret result 5 points from a spell of games i expected too loose so very very happy with that

burnley 1-1 middlesbrough
jenssen
again we had the lead and at the holding on stage of it burnley got a equaliser and almost a winner

middlesbrough 2-3 sunderland
digard, og
worst result of the season so far as we went from 2-0 up at half time to loosing against one of our main rivals

arsenal 2-1 middlesbrough - leauge cup quarter finals
obinna
this was the ultimate unlucky moment, despite playing a young team we had it at 1-1 until the 94th minute where walcott nipped in to score the winner

sheff utd 1-4 middlesbrough
obinna, digard, lita, rodriguez
superb second half display after struggling to be at 1-1 at half time, natuarally i'll say my team talk is the reason for the win

west brom 0-1 middlesbrough
lewandowski
3 points away to our former title rivals could be very useful
 
hull 1-1 middlesbrough
lewandowski
scraped a point against the leauges bottom club with a 84th minute equaliser, although we were without 5 starting players

middlesbrough 2-0 bolton
lewandowski 2,

fulham 1-2 middlesbrough
obinna, lewandowski

QPR 1-1 MIDDLESBROUGH
pacheco, lewandowski, o'neil
were 3-1 playersgoing off injured and looking out of th cup when we pulled up with two lategoals to earn a undersereved replay

middlesbrough 2-2 everton
caceres, digard
close game a point each probably a fair result

"Signing of milevski will hopfully be the ingrediant to get us up towards a european place"
Darran donald today officially welcomed Milevski to Middlesbrough arriving for £7.5m a snip according to Donald but well over price according to ex Boro star Tony Mowbray. Which one of these top young manages will be proven right about the star Ukrainian forward. The memory of the three Ukrainians forwards to arrive in england over the past decade and how they have all floped must be on boro fans mind just as Lewandoski seemed to find some form.
 
middlesbrough 2-0 QPR - fa cup 3rd round replay
milevskyi, arca
played them off the park and were well worth our win

blackburn 1-0 middlesbrough
lewandowski, milevskyi
we just couldnt hold them level every time wescored they would retake the lead within 5 minutes

middlesbrough 0-0 man city
pretty much blocked each other out and again both sides had chances to win it but a point each is fair enough

blackpool 0-0 middlesbrough fa cup 4th round
think my guys have decided to try and play as many fa cup games as possible! Jingle bells jingle bells replays all the way!!

stoke 1-2 middlesbrough
arca, milevskyi, pacheco
stoke are bottom of the table at the moment and put up a good fight till we went 3-11 ahead then we had it in the bag

middlesbrough 5-0 west ham
milevskyi 3, rodriguez 2
our easyest and best win of the season milevskyi getting a hatrick helps too, TAKE THAT MOWBRAY

middlesbrough 2-1 blackpool - fa cup 4th round replay
milevskyi, digard
finally got through to the 5th round where hopfully i'll do better than here

middlesbrough 2-0 wigan
obinna, caceres
wigan had lots of second half chances but my "overvalued" keeper ochoa kept them out, Donald 2-0 Mowbary


Twelve games to go and its looking very good for a top half finish, maybe with some good results a european place might be in the offering. next 5 games will have alot to do with where we finish since we have chelsea and tottenam Home and man utd, arsenal and Aston villa away!. If we can get 6 points from this group of games i'd be quite happy
 
hull 0-1 middlesbrough
lita
total shock at this were through to the 6th round and dont need a replay!

middlesbrough 1-0 chelsea
milevskyi
awsome result took a early lead and held on but played some good stuff as well so results not a total fluke

man utd 5-0 middlesbrough
oh well i guess this is the other end of taking a chance against the top 4. Totally outplayed well done to fergies boys

arsenal 2-0 man utd
we played alot better but getting anything from here was always a long shot

doncaster 1-1 middlesbrough - fa cup 6th round
milevskyi
typical cup performance so a replay is on the cards

middlesbrough 3-0 tottenham
milevskyi, lewandowski, rodriguez
great performance and a well deserved win

middlesbrough 3-2 doncaster
lewandowski 3,
apart from our hatrick hero we were rubbish and awful lucky to each the easyest semi finals of all time!

liverpool 2-1 middlesbrough
o'neil
A little bit unlucky here liverpool were the much better team but still a top 4 team only beating me by 1 at there ground

middlesbrough 4-1 burnley
o'neil, lewandowski 2, millevskyi
strong performance were walking it when we conceaded but were 3-0 up but a wins a win

middlesbrougha 4-1 sheff utd - fa cup semifinal
o'neil, lewandowski, milevskyi, arca
was dodgy till we got a penalty to put us ahead on the 60th minute then a few quick goals and we'll be back to wembley for the FINAL!!

sunderland 3-2 middlesbrougha
lewandoski, pacheco
the worst game possible to go from 2-0 up to loose a game as loosing to sunderland puts us 4 points behind the top 8

aston villa 2-0 middlesbrough
if our strikers didnt spend the whole game trying to kick the ball at the supports we might have got a better result

middlesbrough 1-3 sheff utd
lewandowski
that was dire, i thought we only played like this in the cup!

middlesbrough 2-1 hull
milevskyi 2
another shakey performance but if its us getting back on the right tracks then i wont mind

bolton 3-3 middlesbrough
lewandowski, milevskyi, o'neil
typically close game could have gone either way though

middlesbrough 2-2 west brom
arca, milevskyi
a dissapointing end too the season with a poor run of form

middlesbrough 2-0 aston villa - Fa Cup Final
wheater, pacheco
wasnt expecting to win this after the last few games but even though we didnt play well villa played worse so we wont the Fa Cup

season review
Final finished 10th, above all the other promoted teams so i'd say that was an achievment a step forward now thanks to our simple run in the cup final were into europe too which is the maximum i expected to get from this year so onwards towards next season we'll see who we can get into improve the team
 
Well done with the very comfortable finishing position,

Europe next year?? ;)
 
summer 2011
made a few signing s to try and make us competative firstly in europe and hopefully the premiership too. David Weater was wanting too leave and i dont think Kryvtsov is good enough for first team so brought in Hummels as a streight swap as i didnt want to disrupt the defensive side of the team too much. Urban and delhaye were two good regens i found Delhaye has a shot at going streigh into the team as Digard isnt my favourite player. The biggest weekness i felt our team had was up front and in an attacking sence so for the left wing i got Afellay from PSV on a free not satisfyed with O'neil long term but he had a good season last term so that will keep him in the first team for now. Big summer signing was a player i couldnt believe was still at his original club was Dzeko. Cost me £27m but he's the man i expect to lead our challange to get a top 4 place
 
man utd 1-3 middlesbrough - community shield
milevskyi 3
Big surprise here as we picked up our third trophy but our first against a top team. Was also a quite even game execept for milevskyi whos shooting boots were firmly on today
 
middlesbrough 3-1 wolves
dzenko 2, Afellay
domenent win was in control throughout. Solid start to the season

middlesbrough 5-0 APOEL
dzeko 3, caceres, milevskyi
said i'd take 5-0 going into the game and we got it, europa leauge here we come

everton 5-1 middlesbrough
dzeko
Hmm hope this isnt a reality check and just a day were the defense had a long lie in bed

APOEL 1-3 Middlesbrough
dzeko 3
eased through to the group stages even though we werent seeded we came up against a rubbish team

tottenham 1-0 middlesbrough
we played well just couldnt exicute the killer touch

middlesbrough 2-0 stoke
afellay, milevskyi
second leauge win of the seasons where our quality shone through

middlesbrough 1-1 benfica
afellay
we were so unlucky not to get a win from here with 4 times more shots on goal as the portugees, further frustration as Dzekos out for a month

chelsea 1-3 middlesbrough
hummels, o'neil, milevskyi
went 3-0 and i almost collapsed winning 3-1 was still awsome

west brom 3-2 middlesbrough - leauge cup third round
lewandowski, obinna
well thats he out of the leauge cup for this year so my back up teams done for the season

middlesbrough 8-1 sunderland
lewandowski 4, afellay, o'neil, jessen, o'g
dont know what happend to sunderland today but we walked this game and were up to 2nd

club brugge 1-0 middlesbrough
hmm not quite the result i expected typical of us to score 8 in one game then none in the other

wigan 2-0 middlesbrough
two poor results in a row away from home not a good way to end the night
 
middlesbrough 1-3 man city
jenssen
had the lead then as soon as man city drew level we were dominated

Nice 3-1 europa leauge
jenssen,
should have got something from this game and our performance was terrable. 3 games and already 5 points off qualification, cant drop any more points

birmingham 2-1 middlesbrough
dzeko
didnt deserve anything starting to worry for my job :(

middlesbrough 3-1 aston vill
delhaye, afellay, kryvtosov
a better performance by us and 3 points is a major boost

middlesbrough 3-4 liverpool
dzeko 2, milevskyi
on the face of it its not a bad result but it is when were 4-0 down at half time

middlesbrough 3-0 nice
afellay, dzeko, lita
a must win game for us which we did win to take us into contention for getting through the group after our first good performace in the group

west brom 1-3 middlesbrough
delhaye, milevskyi, pacheco
a strong first half where we went 2-0 up and we remained the better team throughout

middlesbrough 5-3 arsenal
milevskyi, delhaye, dzeko 2, lewandowski
this almost makes up for our result against man city and shows a certain return to form

sheff utd 0-2 middlesbrough
dzeko, milevskyi
4th win on the trot has us up to 2nd in the table


Were on 24 points with 5 other teams on 24 points , and arsenal up ahead on 29 points, our star of the season so far would have to be dzeko almost a goal a game means we'd have to stay in the top 4 if the rest of the team can play around him like afellay is with goals and assists
 
benfica 1-2 middlesbrough
dzeko, hummels
a superb result that pulls us right into the fight. Basiclly if we beat Club Brugge then we go through as group winners if we drop points at all we'll probably be out!
 
And just got a superb offer from seville to become there manager but decided to stick to trying to push middlesbrough through europe and up the premiership table towards the top 4 before we think about a bigger job offer
 
dont switch jobs, mate. your doing very well with your team so far
 
Thanks but i said i've decided im staying till at least the end of the season but with champions leauge looking good means i'll almost certainly be giving it another season after this one.


middlesbrough 3-2 bristol city
o'g, milevskyi 2,
we needed a big push at the end for the 3 points and played a little bit poorley but 3 points and hopfully just a blip

west ham 4-1 middlesbrough
milevskyi
this was devistating we went 2-1 down and went all out to win but defense went home and we were humped

hull 1-2 middlesbrough
milevskyi, lewandowski
another poor performance where we sneaked a win, but next game against brugge is the biggie

middlesbrough 5-1 club brugge
milevskyi 2, dzenko, jenssen, afellay
The blast from the back payed off. 4 wins to finish off the group as winners

middlesbrough 3-1 bolton
dzenko, milevskyi, delhaye

man utd 1-0 middlesbrough
we lost and we a tad unlucky to do so but almost january so some changes to push for the leauge will have to be made

aston villa 1-4 middlesbrough
milevskyi 3, dzeko
a combination of the goals we should have got against man utd and here at villa park but only one win from the two games

reading 5-4 middlesbrough - fa cup 3rd round
milevskyi 2, lewandowski, rodriguez
even with a few players getting rested im surprised we got knocked out but at least we can now focus on the leauge and europe

wolves 2-1 middlesbrough
pacheco
although we were back to full strenght it was a poor performance and result, only got £4m to spend so might have to sell before i buy

middlesbrough 5-1 tottenham
milevskyi 3, delhaye, afellay
was a close game but then the last 15 minutes we went rampant

middlesbrough 4-1 everton
milevkyi 2, delhaye, lita
two great home wins, helps the goal difference as we hump the leauge leaders to go top

middlesbrough 3-1 chelsea
kryvtosov, o'g, jenssen
A very strong performance and a deserved win against another title rival

stoke 3-2 middlesbrough
kryvtsov, dzeko
Robbed by the ref giving a penalty in the 88th minute conceded there only two efforts on goal, Frustrarted

sunderland 0-1 middlesbrough
o'neil
close game but once sunderland went down to 10 men we were never in danger

middlesbrough 2-1 wigan
dzenko, milevskyi
was a hard fought game which we went all out for in the second half and got the 3 points

man city 3-1 middlesbrough
jenssen
this was a poor performance, got better after we went down to 10 men but the game was over

leverkusen 1-4 middlesbrough - first knockout stage
dzenko 2, milevskyi, o'neil
superb second half performance was possibly the best of the season, back up in the second leg perhaps

middlesbrough 2-2 levekusen - first knockout stage
obinna, pacheco
several back-up players and we still got a result so were easily through to the next round against besiktas in the romanticly names second knockout stage
 
liverpool 5-1 middlesbrough
dzeko,
just as a champions leauge push looked good this happens

middlesbrough 4-0 birmingham
milevskyi 3, dzeko
when i put these two up front together i thought having seen him in other peoples games that dzeko would run away with the golden boot but milevskyi will be the man to thank if we achieve the ultimate goal at the end of the season

besktas 0-7 middlesbrough - europa leauge last 16
jenssen 2, milevskyi 2, dzeko, delhaye, o'neil
jeez that was simple, was 7-0 up at half time then walked the second half as were now in the quarter finals in all but name

middlesbrough 1-1 besiktas - europa leauge last 16
jessen
played back up team again since we had already made it through

middlesbrough 0-1 sheff utd
for the third time this season we lost to a team who only had 1 shot on goal against us and thats probably the end of the leauge challange

arsenal 2-0 middlesbrough
went for a more defensive approach but it didnt pay off will have to find our form soon or the champions leauge will slip away too

middlesbrough 5-2 west brom
dzeko, o'neil, milevskyi 3,
was a even game at half time then we inspired them to go win at half time and milevskyi got a hatrick in 7 minutes

middlesbrough 2-3 tottenham - europa leauge quarter final
o'neil, milevskyi
very dissapointed as 4 first team players, all defensive were away on international duty where tottenham seemed to be at full strenght

bristol city 0-1 middlesbrough
dzeko,
was a close game but we got a victory to religate Bristol City and push us up to 3rd

tottenham 4-3 middlesrough - europa leauge quarter finals
caceres, dzeko, hummels
had pulled it back from 3-1 to 3-3 with 10 minutes to go and it was end to end stuff where one of us was going to score the decisive goal and unfortunatly it was spurs who got to the semi finals with defoe's second of the game

middlesbrough 0-2 west ham
our 15th defeat of the season and one of our worst so far another game where we werent converting chances and we cant have another game like this this season with 2-7th still only 10 points apart, tottenham should have the leauge wraped up though
