So we started the month well with a couple of back to back wins live on TV with Gibson getting the winning goals against Blackburn in the Premier League and then our first win in the Europa League.
We then managed to ****** a late league win against Southampton thanks to wonderkid Patrick Roberts before Blackburn got their revenge on our second team and knocked us out of the League Cup.
We then managed to gain a credible draw against big spending Man City before ending the month with an unfortunate loss to Salzburg.

Currently flying high in 3rd place and unbeaten in our opening 6 league games of the season whilst i bet Totteham fans wish Soldado was that prolific in real life after 10 league goals in 6 games.

We started the month well with a 1-1 draw against Liverpool live on TV away from home, we then struggled to another draw against West Brom before getting thrashed by Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League.
We came roaring back in our next game as we smashed current Premier League holders Chelsea 3-1 with young star Patrick Robert on fine form with a brace. Not long after this match i gave him a new contract which includes a £50Million release clause as im determined not to lose this gem!
We then ended the month on a downer with a 3-0 loss to Tottenham.

Poor England! First off they have to deal with Louis Van Gaal being their manager but now he has appointed Joey Barton as the Under 19's Manager.

Well it was a bit of a topsy turvy month as we started with a loss to Athletic Bilbao which almost guaranteed we would not make the knockout stages of the Europa League.
We then came back with a win over Norwich in the league with loanee Dejan Lovren getting his first goal for us before we then had a shock defeat to Newcastle.
We then thrashed Panathinikos in the Europa League with Assombalonga smashing in a hattrick but it meant little as we went crashing out of the group stages but we did then manage to go on and beat Wolves in the league to end the month on a high.

Currently sitting pretty in 4th spot with 27 points and currently 12 points clear of 10th place were we are predicted to finish this season.​

We started the month rather boringly with a 2-2 draw against Salzburg in a pointless game as we had already not made the next round of the Europa League before falling to a 1-1 draw with Leicester but we then managed to ****** a draw against Man Utd.
We then managed to stop the draws with a 1-0 win over Everton with Assombalonga getting the early goal, we quickly came back down to earth though with a terrible loss to Arsenal who smashed 5 past us.
We ended the month and the Year well with a couple of decent wins at home against QPR and Aston Villa.

I think were now halfway through the season and our hope of getting European football next season is surely something we can gain now as a top 6 finish looks on the cards.

Winter Transfer Window - January 2017

The only transfer in was Nastasic for just over £5Million and he should slot into the defence next to Lovren.

Uvini and Guidetti left on permanent deals as we make decent profit on both transfers after both players made it clear they wanted to leave after lack of game time.
I tried to get rid of several other players including Antonio. Vaughan, Fox and Cuenca but nobody wanted any of them even small amounts.

So we started the month with an easy 3-0 win over Watford with Nastasic scoring on his debut, we then faced QPR in the FA Cup but struggled with my second string in the first half and had to bring on the big guns in the second half to progress.
We then suffered an unfortunate loss to West Ham before getting back on track with back to back wins against Cardiff and Blackburn with 4 clean sheets in our last 5 league games.
We ended the month with a whirlwind 3-3 draw against Man City who are actually below us in the league at the moment.

Equal points with 4th placed Man United and only 3 points off Arsenal up in 3rd place, im sure we are going to get European football again next season but i would love it to be in the Champions League.

A lot of away games in a row and they ****** hurt us! We started the month sneaking a win against Blackburn before drawing with then top side Liverpool.
We then snuck past Aston Villa in the FA Cup with Nastasic scoring a very late goal, before throwing away a 2 goal lead against West Brom.
We ended the month poorly with a loss to Chelsea in the League who we face next in the FA Cup.

A few bad results and 4th place and the last Champions League spot looks far too out of reach for us now and we must focus on keeping in 5th place.

Hey I'm doing the same save at the minute and really enjoying it. What tactics are you currently using and what is your starting 11? I've just finished season 2019/20 and retained the premiership. You will see my story on the boards.. Forest back to Europe... If it gives you any ideas great

It was a rather boring month as we only had 4 games and 2 of them were in the FA Cup, We started the month with a bore draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge before stunning Tottenham 3-0 in a huge result as their just below us in the league.
We then lost the replay to a very late Willian goal before getting back on track with another win in the league this time against Norwich.

I think with 8 games to go our season is all but over, i dont see any super runs or disasters in the future so i think 5th place is were we will end up as were 6 points clear of 6th place and far too far away from 4th place.

An incredible month with 4 big wins and some very late goals against Newcastle, the highlight has got to be beating 4th placed Man Utd but that devastating loss to relegation threatened Leicester could seriously ****** my season.

And here is why, Only 2 points off Man Utd after beating them earlier in the month but if we had beaten Leicester arguably our easiest game of the month we would be in that last Champions League spot right now. We have a huge test up next in Title Challenging Arsenal but then after that we should be able to win our last game but desperately need Man Utd to slip up but it doesnt help that they finish the season to Leicester, Norwich and Wolves.
