Thank you! I just hope I haven't peaked too early in the season!

I have sent Caulker back from our loan because, for a start I don't need him and also it will free up one of my 2 domestic loan spots as I need cover for right back.

Christian Eriksen (21)
Toby Alderweireld (88)
Southampton 0
Tottenham continued their prolific campaign with a 2-0 win over Southampton at White Hart Lane.
Attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen gave them the lead with a deftly executed finish in the 21st minute. Toby Alderweireld then rounded off their victory in the 88th with a header.
I knew this was going to be a tough game, and this is really a big 6 pointer for Tottenham.

I have signed Khouma Babacar from Fiorentina for £8.5m which would be a bargain, if I hadn't agreed to fork out another £12m after 30 league goals... however If he takes too long to get there I will certainly cash in before that happens!

Victor Wanyama (Sent off, 76)
West Ham 1
Manuel Lanzini (45)
West Ham's win over Southampton was a momentous occasion for Ronald Koeman as he celebrated a victory against his former employers.
Manuel Lanzini gave West Ham the lead with a close range finish on the stroke of half time. Things went from bad to worse for Southampton when Wanyama earned himself an early bath for persistent fouling in the 76th minute.
Well, I am disappointed with that result and Wanyama's discipline isn't improving much but he usually gets the job done well. Koeman's brother is still my assistant, so I'm convinced he leaked some information on how to beat us or something to Ronald...

Demarai Gray (16)
Southampton 1
Graziano Pellé (24)
(Southampton win 3-0 on penalties)
Southampton produced a solid perfomance tonight at St Andrews but were pushed all the way by a gutsy Birmingham side
Demarai Gray gave Birmingham City the lead on 16 minutes with a tidy finish from 12 yards out.
Southampton's equalier came 24 minutes in as Pellé seizes on Michael Morrison's mistake to score a close ranged effort. In the shootout that followed it turned out to be heartache for Birmingham, as they miss all of their 3 penalties with Southampton scoring all 3 of theirs.
Well, winning on penalties isn't ideal but we've hit a rocky patch so a win is still a win. Hopefully we can pull ourselves together soon.

An error from Bournemouth's Sylvain Distin allowed Jay Rodriguez to pounce with an impeccably timed finish on 24 minutes. Wanyama scored from 20 yards out in the 58th minute to extend Southamptons lead.
Target man Libor Kozam pulled one back for Bournemouth after 73 minutes with a deflected shot, but it ended up being a mere consolation goal.
A fairly good start to the month so far, need to try and stop the conceding though...

José Fonte (42)
Khouma Babacar (90+1)
Khouma Babacar was the focus for the media as current club Southampton drew with his former club Fiorentina not long after his transfer.
Southampton captain José Fonte gave Southampton the lead in the 42nd minute. However Federico Bernadeschi got an equaliser with a fine header in the 55th minute.
It looked to be that Khouma Babacar had secured a last minute winner against his former team, but José Fonte hadn't read the movie script as he suffered the agony of an embarrassing own goal in the last minute of stoppage time to deny his team the win.
Very frustrating, we had the win in our hands until the last minute! Two away goals can't be that bad however, and may give us an advantage going into the home leg. Mario Suarez had a very good game for Fiorentina, may have to find a way to limit his influence in the next meeting. Losing Sadio Mané was a huge blow.

Southampton were nearly handed a 2 minute lead after a lapse in concentration from Gabriele Angella but they failed to capitalize. Dusan Tadic had a chance to score from the spot just 21 minutes in, but was denied by the glove of Robert Green.
Then followed controversy as QPR were denied claims for a penalty after Charlie Austin went down in the box. Victor Wanyama's red card for a vicious foul in the 78th minute but Southamptons position in question.
Well arguably not the best game, and could do without these extra games i'm getting in the form of cup replays. More frustration as Tadic misses a penalty and wanyama gets a straight red. Robert Green had a large part to play with 7 saves denying me a goal. At least we finally managed to keep a clean sheet ourselves.

Southampton win 3-2 on penalties
QPR featured a number of exceptionally quick players but were unable to use them to full effect on a fine spring evening at the St Mary's.
Juanmi got Southampton off to a flyer just 7 minutes in with a deftly executed finish. Jordy Clasie's red card for persistent fouling 39 minutes in put Southampton's position in question.
Charlie Austin bagged the equaliser for QPR 63 minutes in. In the shootout that followed it turned out to be heartache for QPR as James Perch missed the final penalty.
Not ideal, would like to be winning this first time round, not drawing twice and only just coming through on penalties. At least we've reached the boards expectations in the FA Cup now.

Sunderland's equaliser then came through Jermain Defoe as he seized on an error from James Ward-Prowse. Southampton's winner came through substitute Jorge Meré with 6 minutes left to play.

First of all my game crash dumped, and while I didn't lose any progress Arsenal won the Capital One cup instead of Chelsea...

FA Cup - 5th Round Replay
St Mary's Stadium, Southampton
Southampton 1
Juanmi (7)
Jordy Clasie (Sent off, 39)
QPR 1
Charlie Austin (63)
Southampton win 3-2 on penalties
QPR featured a number of exceptionally quick players but were unable to use them to full effect on a fine spring evening at the St Mary's.
Juanmi got Southampton off to a flyer just 7 minutes in with a deftly executed finish. Jordy Clasie's red card for persistent fouling 39 minutes in put Southampton's position in question.
Charlie Austin bagged the equaliser for QPR 63 minutes in. In the shootout that followed it turned out to be heartache for QPR as James Perch missed the final penalty.
Not ideal, would like to be winning this first time round, not drawing twice and only just coming through on penalties. At least we've reached the boards expectations in the FA Cup now.

English Premier Division - Fixture 27
Stadium of Light, Sunderland
Sunderland 1
Jermain Defoe (77)
Southampton 2
Davy Klaassen (50)
Jorge Meré (84)
Southampton recorded a somewhat fortuitous win over Sunderland on a wet afternoon at the Stadium of Light.
An error from Sunderland's Tommy Smith allowed Davy Klaassen to score from a powerful effort. Sebastian Larsson then nearly gifted Southampton another goal on 64 minutes. Sunderland's equaliser then came through Jermain Defoe as he seized on an error from James Ward-Prowse. Southampton's winner came through substitute Jorge Meré with 6 minutes left to play. Meré's impact delighted the fans with the late goal.

Euro Cup 2nd Knockout Round - Leg 1
Stade Velodrome, Marseille
Marseille 1
Lucas Ocampos (3)
Southampton 1
Juanmi (32)
A share of the spoils and an away goal, not all bad news.

Never great to go out of the cup, but the 6th round was our target so it's not too big a loss.

A 0-0 draw is enough to put us through on away goals, which seems to be our saving grace in this years European campaign!

We had quick comebacks twice, but couldn't find an answer for Arsenal's third goal.

That's a great result, and a great performance against a team featuring 3 previous Southampton players. We outclassed them up front.

We'd have to win all 3 of our games in hand to catch Tottenham, hopefully we can put some points between ourselves and teams below us however. Looking quite tight for the top 4 and relegation zones.

An exciting game, which we were lucky to draw - but we are through to the Semi-finals , and not on away goals this time! We have been drawn against Olympique Lyon.

Tottenham and City both win, but Man Utd slip up away to West Ham. Important away win for Bournemouth and a 10 minute hat-trick from Wilson! Newcastle lose to 10 men after an unlucky own goal to lower their chances of survival.

Wow, 2-2, 3-3, then 4-4! Definitely went a bit gung-ho here in a desperate attempt to get the win! I will take a draw away to Chelsea though. In the other game Liverpool beat Arsenal 3-2

A good win for us doesn't help Crystal Palace in their survival bid, and Arsenal have made it very difficult for Newcastle to escape the drop as well. Chelsea lost to Leicester which is a bonus. Bournemouth get yet another win to push themselves out of the relegation zone.

Very happy to get the away win! They looked the better team but we did the important part of scoring the goals! We just have to avoid a home defeat to secure our place in the final.

Perhaps a bit fortunate to get an own goal to win it, but we played good counter-attacking football and very important 3 points, and just as importantly, 3 points less for City.

Sunderland's fate is sealed, and if I'm honest - the title is basically in Tottenham's hands already! Still quite close for the other two relegation positions and 2nd-6th could all change completely. And we have secured our place in the Champions League next season!

Thank-you.
Yeah I hope so, my next game is Away to Utd - Just 2 days after playing City! Then Liverpool and Everton at home so it won't be easy, but fingers crossed! Thank-you.
Jesus Christ! That's not an easy ending to the season at all, but good luck!

Well since our players only left the pitch on the other side of Manchester 52 hours ago, and being far from a full strength starting line up, it is no real surprise to lose 2-0 against an already tough to beat United side. Hopefully not too much damage is done from this result.

Well only 2 days between matches again, making it 3 games in 5 days! That didn't phase Sadio Mané though, and only playing him for 20 minutes in the previous game seemed to have paid off with a lovely brace from the winger. And - we are through to the Euro Cup Final!!

After Aston Villa's recent win, Crystal Palace join Newcastle and Sunderland in the teams relegated to the Championship next season. A win in the next game for us would secure 2nd spot but it's still very close from 2nd - 5th!
