The Real McKenzie: The story of Douglas Steven McKenzie

Europa League would get you more income, so take the final seriously. Good luck.

Thank you. That is my plan. Lots of planning and prep that will get us the victory. Should be a good match anyways, last time I faced Villa we lost 2-1.

Hopefully you can make Europe, and build from there.

January started off with two matches in cup play. First we would face Fulham in the FA Cup and beat them. With that victory we would face Manchester United in a few weeks. Sadly our run ended and we lost 4-2 after four unanswered goals. Also we would beat Arsenal by an aggragate score of 2-1 and will now face Villa in the final.

League play would start off with a 2-1 loss to Tottenham. Th team would end up picking things back up with two back to back victories against Everton and Manchester United. The month would finish up with a draw against Swansea and a shocking loss to Stoke. That final match came with lots of controversy when they scored a goal clearly offsides in the remaining seconds of extratime.

Lukas Jutkiewicz was our top performer of the month. He scored a total of four goals in all competitions.

Still in 12th

Here is who we play next month!!

Much easier month coming up, but Chelsea will be tough

Bring them on!!!!!!

Results:
Pretty disappointing last half of the month. Luckily we are in 10th place and very close to a Europa League bid. The highlight was the 2-1 victory against Newcastle. We have swept them this season!!!!!!!! New attacker Sean Scannell scored his first goal for us in the Derby.


Table:

Here is who we play next month:

Hardlines against Villa and Chelsea mate, hopefully you can put these 2 losses behind you and kick on to get a Europa League spot, how far are you off? Pretty surprised to see Arsenal away down at 8th as well.

Middlesbrough book ticket to Europe

Doug McKenzie's Middlesbrough have just won their second Capital One Cup title. This was their first appearance and victory in the final since they were last in it in 2004. Many ex Boro players and coaches have praised Doug McKenzie for his victory. "I am proud of my successor Doug on this grad achievement, he will do great in Europe, I just know it."- Tony Mowbray, former Middlesbrough Manager.

Now this all happened on a breezy afternoon at a sold out Wembley. Middlesbrough's Jonathan Woodgate lived the dream as he lifted the trophy. This is his last season with the club and once May arrives he will be retiring from football. It was quite the spectacle as underdogs Boro beat Villa by a score of 3-1.

It all started as DM Yacouba Sylla gave Aston Villa the lead with an incisive finish from 13 meters in the 38th minute. Middlesbrough's equalizer came from Alfred Duncan as he capitalized on GK Jed Steer's mistake to score a well executed finish. Later on an error from José Cañas allowed striker Lukas Jutkiewicz to score. Duncan would complete the scoring for Boro with a well timed effort in the 52 minute.

"This is an amazing moment for all of us with Middlesbrough, I applaud the fans for their support."- Doug McKenzie.

With this victory Middlesbrough have qualified for the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League by winning the Capital One Cup. At this point they will be entering in the third qualifying round. Their posisition could improve depending on their position at the end of the EPL season.

Despite being rank outsiders, Middlesbrough have pulled off an outstanding achievement and the fans will celebrate for some time to come.
