Pity for Vitesse draw but great results in other matches, in particular against PSV. Ajax seems to be a perfect machine. I'm looking forward to see what you'll be able to do in Champions League as in Eredivisie i think there is no match!
Good read. What did you get for xmas day then? Lol.
Just to let you know mate, you said you beat Heracles 0:4, but on the screen shot its Excelsior.
Same with the PSV one below.. XD
Hi Joe, he is doing ok, he has improved slightly... already 1 season ahead of what I have been able to update... so going to do a pure match update for a few months if thats ok with everyone?D@ve, make sure you keep taking the calming pills buddy
Nice work Raikan - hows my main man Rits doing on loan
(Extremely busy couple of months)
15th March 2011
Before I can wipe the **** out of my eyes, I realise several weeks have passed as I sit in my office playing a bit of Football Manager 12, my vice, my escape! Reading up on a couple of emails regarding player's improvement in training from a few of my coaches, glad to see the new approach I have taken has started to reap benefits and a few reports from my scouts I had sent to a few places looking into a few players I had found on Fm12 that I felt could do well here with us. I thought to myself that I am extremely proud with the way the boys have been performing recently, nothing short of perfect...
However, tomorrow is a big day for us all, one more game.....

Press conference Luznikhi, Moscow:
Roman Vesnyeki (Journalist)
"Welcome to Moscow Mr Hart, how confident are you ahead of tonights match?"
Neil Hart
"Extremely confident, our form recently has been outstanding and I don't see CSKA standing in our way at the moment"
Yuri Kamov (Journalist)
"You seem extremely confident Mr Hart, are you hoping it will rub off on your players?"
Neil Hart
"I don't think my players suffer from lack of confidence at the moment Yuri, I do however think they know it is going to be a tough game but have complete faith in their own abilities"
Alexiy Schevchenko (Journalist)
"Your run in the Eredevisie is quite something, however, Champions League games are always different, if not harder, do you think a loss here this evening will effect your league form?"
Neil Hart
"100 percent, any loss in any league or cup game has a detrimental effect on your players, however we did not fly here this evening to feel defeated or intimidated before we walk out onto the pitch, thank you that is all for this evening"
On my way out of the conference room I knew that the local journalists had set out to try and intimidate us prior to kick off, the only reason why they would do such a thing is because they themselves felt intimidated...

Loving the media captions Raikan, excellent story and lots of success. Good luck in the CL, Ajax have always been one of my favourite teams, good to see them doing so well!
thanks mate I must say I was surprised at how well they are playing! some part of me was actually hoping to lose a few more in case anyone thought I was full of **** lol!
loving this save, last save I really got into was Sc Freiburg from Fm11 over 9 months ago...
