barcelona 4-1 depertivo
bojan 2, aguero, gatagov
terrible in the first half, tore them into pieces at half time then they came out and scored 4 times in the second half

iniesta, bojan, robinhio
another poor first half but the second halfs keep saving us

espanyol 0-3 barcelona
aguero 2, sakho

bayern munich 2-1 barcelona - champions leauge semi 1st leg
Iniesta
a hero to zero performance by iniesta as we were 1-0 with iniesta's goal before he got sent of and bayern came back with two goals so now we'll be relying on hte away goal we scored to get to the final

villareal 2-2 barcelona
bojan, robiniho
a close game due to us being down to 9 men we just about got a result from this

atletico madrid 0-2 barcelona
messi, turan
fantasic result and its my first spanish title at my first attempt

palacio, iniesta, bojan, robiniho
a nice way to end the season, got onto 100 points so very happy with the leauge overall, just teh champions leauge to go now

barcelona 3-2 arsenal - champions leauge final
turan, bojan 2,
very close game that could have gone either way, arsenal were all over us like nobody has been all season but we held on to collect the champions leauge


Overall a superb first season in spain maybe should have tryed harder for the spanish cup but took the decision to focus my challange on the leauge and europe but will know for next season to go for all 3 titles next season as we also go for world domination in my second season. Have a few player in mind to freshen up and improve the squad so will put pictures of them up before the season begins

 

[Mr_Grieves]

After rivaldo got sacked by brazil despite getting through to the second round of the world cup i was happy to take over as i continue to hunt for trophys on all levels of football hopfully starting with the 2014 world cup

 

[Mr_Grieves]

chile 1-3 brazil
vagner love, naymar, Kaka

through to quarter finals with relative ease. we were 2-0 ahead with half a hour gone when chile launched there fightback and were unlucky not to equalise before halftime but kaka's penalty in the 50th minute ment we could lock up shop and we held on through the to the end.

 

[Mr_Grieves]

Brazil 2-1 france
Diego, robinho
Was heading out of the compition till two late goals the winner from inspired barca star Robiniho tapped in the 89th minute winner to put us into the sem finals

 

[Mr_Grieves]

uruguay 3-2 brazil
diego, lucas

Commited the ultimate football sin and threw away a 2 goal lead and lost the second biggest game in world football awful dissapointed

 

[Mr_Grieves]

brazil 1-2 spain - 3rd place playoff
lucas

world cup ended wiht a damp squib of a performance, plenty of work to do before 2018 world cup, if i keep the job that long

 

[Mr_Grieves]

Very quiet summer couldnt offload ibrahimovic, xavi, puyol and valdes so i couldnt raise enough money to buy Fabregas so just a few free transfers in, the main one being Adler as me new no1 and ben arfa on a permanent dealand players out on loan was my only player income. So next season will bring a very busy transer window with Puyol, Ibrahimovic and Xavi all out of contract and on the way out

 

[Mr_Grieves]

real madrid 2-0 barcelona - spa super cup 1st leg
a rubbish performance by us which last seasons top scorer BEnzema took full advantage of. I do feel were lacking something with the squad but will just have to grit my teeth and bare it for now

barcelona 4-0 real madrid - spa super cup 2st leg - agg 4-2
aguero 3, xavi
total opposite of our 1st leg performance we were like a train today with aguero picking up where he left off last season

 

[Mr_Grieves]

Aquilani
Our new freebie signing scored a late winner to give me my first super cup win in a dissapointing game

barcelona 5-0 betis
iniesta, azpiliqueta, bojan 2, aguero
Another dominating performance but its still not enough to go top as real are top on goals scored

bojan 3, aguero
a clinical performance from bojan gets us the 3 points and 3 wins out of 3

mallorca 2-3 barcelona
bojan, aguero, messi
first real test since the super cup but we sneaked through to get the 3 points

barcelona 5-1 villareal
messi 3, caselli, aquilani
back to normal today as we demolished them on every front, messi was sintalating with his hatrick

real sociedad 1-1 barcelona
iniesta
first dropped points of the season as we couldnt find a goal then Soceidad took the lead and we had to fight from behind to get a point

barcelona 4-2 fiorenina - CHampions leauge group stage
aguero, pique, messi, caselli
match was closer than the scoreline suggest, fiorentina were within a goal of us almost the whole way but we deserved the win

barcelona 1-0 valencia
aguero
another close fought game which we came out on the right side of, a bit worried that our strikers have slowed up a bit in recent games

malaga 1-6 barcelona
aguero 4, bojan, messi
thank you for proving me wrong immediatly lads

barcelona 0-1 seville
this was a terrible effort had more efforts on goal but just and an unacceptable performance

another convincing win for the back up team ensures were throuh to he knockout stages as group winners after 4 games of what i considered a tricky group

espanyol 0-1 barcelona
iniesta
another close fought game but a derby wins a derby win

barcelona 5-1 universidad - SPA cup 4ht round 2nd leg
ibrahimovic 3, caselli 2
Our 8-1 aggrigate win overshadowed by adlers 472 minute run without conceading ending

canales, bojan, aguero 2
standard home victory not much more to say than that

recreativo 0-5 barcelona

barcelona 2-3 CSKA Moscow - champios cup group stage
canales, ibrahimovic
back up team leat me down after going 2-1 up we should have been good enough to hold out here but they came back with 2 late goals so we dropped some points, not to worrryed as were alread through as group winners

barcelona 3-1 getafe
palacios iniesta 2
were struggling at 1-1 then iniesta turned up with a couple of goals to give us a rare hard earned 3 points

ath madrid 0-3 barcelona
Aguero 2, caselli
Fought off a key rival for the leauge with ease here they werent even on the same page as us

fiorentina 5-3 barcelona
caselli 2, gatgov
happy with my reserve attack but as this results shows my defensive back up leaves a thought or two


So thats the groups stages over with ended up looking much closer than it actually was due to us backing off after the 2nd game. In Liga BVA we've made a goo start there 6 points clear of Real who have a game in hand so thats bsicly 3 points clear thanks to our win over them. World club champioships up soon

 

[Mr_Grieves]

a well timed return to form for the defense hopfully it will stay for the rest of the season

villarreal 2-1 barcelona - spa cup semis - agg villarreal 5-3 barcelona
aguero
Well e went for it and were out at the worst phase having gone full strenght to get this far

hard fought game but we got the deserved 3 points at the end of it all

besiktas 0-3 barcelona - champions leauge last 16
aguero, bojan 2
fantasitic scoreline that will ensure a chance for the back up players to get a run out in the second leg

barcelona 1-0 malaga
paique
not your tradional match winner but cant be choosey when the titles up for grabs

osasuna 1-1 barcelona
bojan
certainly not the result we needed going into el classico

barcelona 2-3 real Madrid
iniesta, palacios
pretty much my nightmare match, red card after 5 minutes, star forward injured for a month and loosing a top of the table clash all in 90 minutes

barcelona 0-1 besiktas - champions leauge last 16
poor show by our reserves will be alot of changes here in the summer if the board is feeling generous

sevilla 1-1 barcelona
another poor performance and if real win today our 9 point lead will be down to 1 mainly in the last 3 games

barcelona 0-0 MArsille - champions leauge qtr finals
another poor display any more trouphies this season will be a miracle at this rate

barcelona 1-1 espanyol
caselli

marsille 1-2 barcelona - champions leauge qtr finals
messi, aguero
we struggled but just made it to the semi finals but were there

zaragoza 2-1 barcelona
another 3 points down the pan, athletico madrid next and that is a must win or 2nd place will be under threat

currently on my worst run in the game if form doesnt pick up i might be out of a job

barcelona 3-2 lyon - champions leauge semi finals
aguero, turan, bojan
well a win but still very dissapointing to be 3-0 up and end up finishing 3-2

getafe 0-1 barcelona
messi
messi's penalty at the end of the first half gave us our first win in 7 but will be too little too late as were 7 points behind with 4 games left but will have to put out a full team due to athletico madrid being right behind us

lyon 3-3 barcelona - champions leauge semi finals agg lyon 5-6 barcelona
messi, caselli, aguero
couldnt have been much closer if we tryed but in the end we held on and were through to the final with a chance to save our season against seville

xavi, ben arfa, palacios 2
three strong wins on the trott a perfect set up for the champions leauge final

sevilla 2-4 barcelona - champions leauge final
bojan 2, messi pen, caselli
light at the end of the dark tunnel although we were the better team we didnt push on our advantage to the 77th minute then in extra time they scored with there only attack but were dead on there feet and our fresher players pushed on and got the two winning goals


well its impossible to put the season down as a failure after taking home 4 trophies but missed out on the leauge and cup while on our horrific run which picked up towards the end of the season but next season will have to bring improvement in over the summer so hopefully the board will back me up with this

 

[Mr_Grieves]

Brazil at the COPA America
As you may remember i am also in charge of BRazil so here we go in my second tournament, A win is the minimum expected and thats the least i'll aim for anything less and i'll probably be out of work, internationally

Uruguay 2-2 brazil
o'g, Pato
Grudge match especially after the world champions beat us in the semi finals of the world cup. Unfortunatly they came back twice after we scored although i'll take heart from this as its the best performance from brazil in the time i've been in charge

ANd that was my last match in charge as brazil decided my current form is unnacceptable 1 defeat in 4 competative matches wasnt too bad i thought but oh well

 

[Mr_Grieves]

Just got up to first game of the season pretty sure im done with the transfer window so heres what i've done. Except for my right back i found it impossible to improve my squad i have for the moment so i decided to buy the best youth i could find for the positions in the squad that were available and try and blend them into the first team over a few seasons and wait another season before looking for new stars for the first team as iniesta 32 , palacios 31 might have to be looked at replacing

 

[Mr_Grieves]

Man utd 2-0 barcelona - euro super cup
Dissapointing start to the new season, being beaten by a medeicoure premiership team after maing the defense stronger and buying in some world class youth and older players we still didnt score

sevilla 1-1 barcelona
aguero
not a great start to the season but it was a point away to a team i expect to be challanging us towards the end of the season

villarreal 0-3 barcelona
aguero 2, bojan
just like the good old days goals flowing from the front two and a clean sheet. Feels so much like the start of last year its almost comfortable

barcelona 1-1 werder bremen
caselli
unlucky to come away with a point even with the back up team we didnt conceade till the 93rd minute

barcelona 2-0 gimancia
pique, messi
another 3 pointsinto the bundle as the squad contonue to settle

almeria 0-3 barcelona
bojan 3
bojan on the job to secure us 3 points and another clean seet without a goalkeeper

barcelona 2-1 ath madrid
aguero 2
two goals against his old club puts us ahead of them in the leuage

celtic 3-0 barcelona
Oh dear even for the back up boys this was a nightmare result, full team next time me thinks

end of september
Were second in the leauge 2 points behind real madrid, CHampions leauge is a diferent story were bottom after 2 games with just 1 point so we'll have to go against our usual policy of playing reserves in the early stages

 

[Mr_Grieves]

october
follows the trend of the season so far as we failed to consistantly perform, especially infront of goal aside or a 5 goal win consistance is not something we have at all

Racing 2-5 barcelona
palacios, aguero, bojan, iniesta, caselli
a perfect display in attcking football and in an away game too

getafe 2-0 barcelona

barcelona 0-0 galatasery - champions leauge
another pathetic performance this time from the full strenght first team shows how much trouble were in

bojan, delhaye, messi
good result, the kinda result that wasnt going our way a few weeks ago

bojan, sahko, aguero, iniesta
as alqways a massive win against our biggest rivals to pull us back into the title race

werder bremen 2-4 barcelona - champions leauge
pique, caselli, bojan, messi
out of the frying pan and into the fire in terms of importaint games as this was a must win in order to progress in the champions leauge and for 70 minutes it didnt look like we were going to do so as we struggeld tot break them down but the goals flowed at the end, comes down to the last game must beat celtic by 3 goals to win the group, a draw and we'll almost drop out of the champions leauge

barcelona 3-0 athletic bilbaio
iniesta, palacios 2
another good performance, starting too play alot like the good old days long may this form continue

 

[Mr_Grieves]

December was to be a good month domestically as we clawed our way to the top of the table. It was also a good month world wide as we won the world club championships for the second time. But a major failure in not qualifying from the group mostly down the the teams terrible form at the start of the year where we fell to pieces at parkhead and couldnt get a sniff against galatasary but takes a bit of pressure off as the Ueaf cup should be a easyer compition that will allow us to focus on our leauge and cup challange

barcelona 4-2 mallorca
bojan 2, pique, sakho
another win and this one takes us to the top of the table for the first time this season

valladolid 0-4 barcelona
