tought start of the season there Narl Chelsea, City, Liverpool and now Villa

Well Tommo, I'm more than pleased with my team, I've just beaten Villa 1-0

Team played really well, deserved to win the game, could have had more! That Liverpool draw has kick-started my season I think!

Excellent stuff, Narl - amazing result against Villa too!

Keep up the good work, and I'm sure it'll pay off.

Well, looking ahead of the Villa game, I didn't like the prospect of my fixtures. First up was a tough away game to Chelsea in the league cup, who knew what kind of side they would put out, but I soon found that out!



Now, I thought Chelsea would have put out a decent side to play me, as they are the league champions after all, and I would think they'd like to win the quadruple. But I was wrong and I had hope that we might pull off a result... and boy did we ever! 2-1 , 2 goals by DJ Campbell, one coming in the 115th minute of Extra Time to give Blackpool the win and through to the next round of the cup!

Player Line-ups/Stats:


I'm chuffed to bits , I really am

Wow - amazing result mate. Let's hope you can continue your form and pick up some points in the league now

Well Pringers, I'm delighted to say that our next match at Wolves away was a hard, but well-fought win. 1-0, with a goal from a corner 90 minutes into the match, header by Evatt! My team's starting to get the habit of scoring late goals, a good habit to have I must say



The goal -





PS, We've climbed up to 11th in the table -

Good going, cant wait to see how the monkey does.

Well done Narl doing an amazing job

I'm at January now in my Newcastle game, I've signed Joe Mattock from WBA for 2m; he's a great one for the future, shall provide much-needed competition for Jose Enrique too. That's what he's been lacking so far this term.

11th in the Premiership; played 22... won 7, drawn 7, and lost 8.

I've had 3 draws, 1 loss and 1 win since the Wolves match, with a 3-2 win against West Brom getting us through to the quarter finals of the league cup, which is against Wolves away



Highlights from the Westbrom match:




Mendy's goal vs Man Utd at home:

Very nice mate, well played - so far so good at Blackpool

Cheers Berry

I think I'll starting playing my Luxembourg game again for a while, so you may be waiting a while to hear from Blackpool


What's everyone else up to in their games!? Post!!!

I am two games into my Liverpool game won them both so far lol

Haha nice one Niko, I'm sure you're gonna win the league with them anyways! Newport winning the league cup in league 2, the premiership should be a piece of cake!

Well done Niko - you should do quite well there to be honest - keep it up though!

A fantastic first season at Newcastle for me, finished 6th in the league; can't wait for the next season too, think the squad needs some improvements, so we can put up a good fight in the Europa League (can't believe it )

Some other bits and bobs:

I signed 'Magic' Madjid Bougherra for £2.5m from Rangers in January; he's solid, love him.

Some really hectic changes as soon as the Premiership season ended...

Ancelotti and Mancini got the sack from Chelsea and Man City.

Mancini took over Chelsea (:O), City appointed Atletico's Flores.

Mick McCarthy took the Fulham job, Ian Holloway took the vacant Wolves job and then Big Sam Allardyce - who was sacked from the Blackburn job in January, and replaced by Shearer - took the Blackpool job.

Crazy, I know.

If anyone wants any particular info, just lemme know

Wow Berry - that's an interesting season and an excellent league position, well done, keep it up for Season 2 .

Nice finish Berry! Astounding result by the end of the season mate


Good luck for season 2, and I'd like to hear your planned/completed transfers please

Great season there Berry.

Decent signings mate, a right bargain with Micah Richards! You should do very well this season!

You also have a favourable draw in the Europa League, should advance to the next round quite easily.

Very nice Berry

Richards... what a steal mate! Those signings are bound to get ya to the final of the Europa League xD


Good luck and well done

Great squad there Berry, what formation do you play?

Quite a few to be honest mate; I like to mix it up, keeps the other team guessing that way.

Usually it's an attacking 4-4-2, with wing forwards.

I also use 4-4-1-1 sometimes, aswell as 4-5-1.

Newcastle win the Premier League title with 3 games spare!







Games remaining:

League

Liverpool | H
West Brom | A
Norwich | H

FA CUP FINAL

vs. Man City

Can the Toon do it? I hope so!

Wow, unbelievable achievement Berry!

And the FA Cup final too... jesus haha, The Toon are gonna do the double!!!!

Thanks mate; summer signings Carrizo, Micah & Toivonen have been really important players for me this season, been very consistently impressive.

As for Andy Carroll, he's scored 20 this season; been really good for me

Just hope I can keep hold of my key players for the next season, should be able to do. We're the champions!

Amazing work Berry - much deserved! Now bring that FA Cup home and become Double Winners.

Great work Berry an amazing achievemet

NEWCASTLE WIN THE FA CUP TO DO THE 'DOUBLE'!



Here are the goals from Danny Guthrie, he really came up with the goods for us. It was a good job he did too, as Toivonen just couldn't score.

The opener


The winner!


EAT MY GOAAAAAAAAL

Awesome stuff mate, congratulations!!!

Thanks mate.

Just got this through the Blackberry...



As flattering as a offer from the sleeping giants Milan is, my work at Newcastle isn't done. All this progress I've made doesn't deserve to be built on by another manager, I must secure Newcastle as a top 4 club.

I quite like Newcastle, prefer them over Man City any day haha.

Brilliant Berry does it again! The papers will read


Nice one mate, what a platform for next season, doing the double!

I think I'll add and sub to you on youtube as well!

Great stuff mate, can't wait till next season!

Ooo, that would've been tempting mate, but you've had such a great two seasons at Newcastle, it'll be interesting to see how you do in your first season in the Champions League.

I hope you get past at least the group stage, as this will provide you with a good financial backing.

Have you had your transfer budget yet?

Yes mate, at the start of the season I was given a cool budget of 24m to achieve a position where we qualify for Europe; I adjusted this so there's lots of wages available and have signed a few good players. All will be revealed once pre-season is over

Awesome mate, can't wait to see who you've bought for the forthcoming season.

If you get a easy group you should cope fine but if you get a group like tottenham did youll have to put your heart out to it and hope for the best and actually hope you scrape through depends what your tactics are and formation id say go 4-4-1-1 in europe. up front have carrol and Toivonen behind doing all the through balls.

Edit: Keep it to one post instead of 3 different posts saying same thing. You can edit your own posts

I've just started this again, I am now at West Brom, and have already signed Rafael and Gael Kakuta on loan for the season.

+ Nice one Pringers, hope you do well with WBA

My transfers for the forthcoming season are complete;

Gael Kakuta, Rafael da Silva in on loan for the season, with Amr Zaki coming in for £3m.

First game of the season is at home against Wolves!

Niiiiiice, good signings mate.

Hope they work well for you, Rafael and Kakuta are very exciting

Good luck mate, come on West Brom.

!

I was half ways through my second game of the season, with 100% results, and my PC went off - I even think it blew up! Oh dear, I just signed Gai Assulin as well

who should i sign

Wow, what an incredibly insightful post! Do you know how to scout players, and find players yourself?

How much have you got? what position do you need? Who's interested?

900mil and i need left back

I'd rather you didn't cheat in this thread. I mean you can go and post your own, but everyone else doing this hasn't cheated :/

Agreed, no edited teams in here please.

Without further ado, I bring to you the WBA game

As always, I conduct all my business before I even push the first continue button.
It seems to help to get a jump on the transfer markets.

I can literally spend hours doing this before I even get into the game. To me its the best part of the game.

So far I have been very busy.

WBA have way too many Strikers on the books, 8 of them and they all want First team Football, but are not quite consistent enough for it.
I will keep Ishmael Miller out of that bunch, the rest can go.
