Yet again another sublime update! Very good month for you and Martinez is looking really good scoring you all those goals this month!
Not as good of a month their as it was for you in January but your still top of the league and going strong in the UCL which is great!
It's been a long time since I've been online and your story it's still going on! Congrats mate! I'm loving this story!
Josh He's started to come back to life a bit. He's been great the past two seasons, but this season he hasn't been anywhere near his best.

Pompey No, sadly not. The Chelsea COC Final was a kick in the teeth as I had the better chances. Thought i'd forced it through to extra time, when the ref decided to play an extra minute and they scored from a long throw - both of their goals came from long throws :(.

AAN Thank you. It was stopped for a bit as I had to focus on getting a portfolio done to try and get into Uni (Which I have done now), so this story is back!!

Glad you didn't get Bayern or Barca but you will still have to play well to beat PSG.
Good luck, however I am confident you can get through :)
P$G are always a tough team to face, but with the squad you have you can definitely beat them!
Neal Yeah, I'm just glad I missed Barca and Bayern. Hopefully I can get a result against 'em.

Pompey Thanks, and hopefully! Gonna be tough as they play 4-4-2 and I normally struggle against teams that play 4-4-2 :(.

Josh If I don't, I just hope I'll be able to give them a tough battle. They've got Bony playing up top with Rondon (sp?) and they've been killing it in the French League.

Villas-Boas: PSG are good, but we are better!

Tottenham's head coach believes his side have what it takes to beat French giants, PSG.

Villas-Boas has confirmed that his side are not worried about there match-up against French side, PSG. The Portuguese boss has claimed that the draw has been kinder to him then he would expect, and has played down Bielsa's achievements during his time at the oil-rich side.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Villas-Boas stated:

"We're not worried. They are good - but we are better. Anyone can dominate a poor league when you have large amounts of money invested. At Spurs, we like to spend within our means - we keep a steady wage budget and we spend only what we can afford."

"As a team, we are playing well and we believe that we can go far in this competition. Every game now [in terms of objectives] is a bonus. We've reached our goal of getting to the quarter finals, but we want to go further."

When asked about who he believes will win the Champions League, Villas-Boas confirmed that he doesn't believe that this year it will be a Spanish side. You would have to look back four years ago to see a side from outside of Spain secure the Champions League - with Bayern Munich winning the title in 2013. Barcelona are current holders of the trophy have been for the past two years running, having won it in 2016 and 2015, while Real Madrid won it in 2014.

"This year I don't believe that the winner will be from Spain. There is only one Spanish team left [Barcelona], and there are two from Germany. France have one, while we [England] have four. I firmly believe that come the end of the season, the Champions League will be here in England."

Marcelo Bielsa will certainly have something to say. The Argentinian boss took charge of PSG on Christmas day in 2015, and has already secured the Ligue 1 title and Trophée des Champions for the French outfit during his time at the club and will no doubt hope to add the Champions League to the clubs trophy cabinet.

There is no doubt that he has got his side playing well - Bony, who was purchased from Swansea in 2014 for £17m and Rondón, who joined the French side at the beginning of the season have formed a terrifying partnership, scoring a combined 42 goals in 55 games - 18 goals in 22 appearances for Bony, while Rondón has bagged 24 goals in 33 games.

Villas-Boas has seen his side lose just twice in all competitions this season, one of which was a 2-1 loss to the hands of former friend, José Mourinho in the Capital One Cup Final.
I love his straight forwardness.
Some excellent results there, especially over PSG and in the North London Derby, love that late Townsend goal! Those draws to WHU and City basically mean nothing because you're so far ahead! :)
