MJ: How right you were man, had some crucial results in there :) Very good month, still cant believe we're top
Big big month ahead, let's hope the European hangover doesn't hit your side too hard!

Clinging on


Despite not having the best league run this month, we've managed to hold on to 1st some how, but the pack is chasing, and we're looking over our shoulders with a bit of fear. Good news however, we can't get relegated this season! Woooo xD

Zoggers' old tricks


Decent for sure


In the right direction


Another cup triumph


Barely through


That's more like it!


Holding on


We keep on battling to claim the Premier League title, it appears to have fragmented into a true 3 horse rate, us, Chesterfield and Colchester all battling for the Premier League, bet no-one's ever said that before. It's incredible that we've only lost 1 game all season, whereas our competition has lost 5 or 6.



Player of the Month


Nope, I'm sorry, I just can't get past this guy, when he's not scoring, he's assisting, the man just hasn't stopped since he returned from the Asian Cup. I'd like to remind you all this lad came on a free, all we had to do was stump up some higher wages. Kenji Otsuki, you'll be hard to keep hold of in summer won't you.



Flop of the Month


It was a battle of the centre backs this month for Flop of the Month, we have Zoggers who allowed Ormson to score for Plymouth, Holden who put it in his own net against Celta, and Ruiz who got himself sent off. I'm going to give it to Holden this month because Zoggers did a very good job at holding on against Celta in that second European leg.



Attracting interest


Before I go, and before I show you the upcoming fixtures, I just thought I should show you this tremendous screenshot of my first eleven, let me know if you spot a common theme throughout.



As for the upcoming fixtures, I expect 6 points from 6 in the league fixtures, and progression past Fulham in the cup, the stumbling block could be the tie against Shalke, which is going to be very difficult.

Great month and the match against Shalke will be huge

Pulling away


This was such a great month, continuing our domination of the league as well as fighting it out in multiple competitions, it's a tough life being really good at football isn't it. The lads have truly gone up a level this month though, some damn good goals to be seen too.

Sainrimat!


Goals Galore


Battling through


De Ja Vu


Dominant


Almost comfy


Look at us! We're so high right now! It's actually unbelievable how comfortable we are right now, 4 points clear from 2nd with a game in hand, we can practically taste the league title, of course, we have to HUGE games to get past first, and we're still on for some sort of treble, how crazy would that be?!?!



Player of the Month


In my opinion this lads been top quality this month, really proving he's got what it takes to be a positive impact substitute and maybe even a starter for us in the future. As a small rotation/ future signing at the start of the year, he's definitely going out to prove himself late on into this season.



Flop of the Lot


This lad has been a stalwart for us up until this month, where I've gone and rested him a few times due to poor form and to be honest, he's been the one downside in an other wise very strong side for this month. I hyped him as one of my best signings this summer but Franceschi you're letting me down.



Big big games


April, probably the defining month of our season, such a huge amount of games, so many big battles ahead. We have to battle through and keep this top spot now, we've been here so long, I don't want to lose it.



Until then, all comments will be reciprocated,

Tah, Alex

Everyone's messing up


In what has been one of the oddest months I've played in FM for a long time, I've lost a lot of hope for the Premier League. I guess you'll have to see why won't you. ;)

Anyway, in the mean time between the last update and this one, something amazing happened which I've never had happen to me before on FM. Made me rather proud to be honest.



Oh noes...


Fizzling out


Clawing it back


Good start


Obey the Lawson


The squeakiest of bums


FERGIE TIME


Cracking stuff


With so many games to go we've all but secured the league! It appears as we stumble, so do the other clubs but harder, technically Spurs are our biggest rivals remaining now, 8 points clear with a total of 15 to earn. Oooooh it's getting exciting! Also, look at how far Colchester have fallen, they lost 4-0 to Forest recently too!



Player of the Month


In a month of hat tricks, goal fests and beautiful finishes, it's been hard to choose between the attacking options it has to be said, they've been monstrous this month! However, I think I have to decide which attacking performance has been the most valuable, and it has to be Ibrahim for that stunning strike, if I was a kid watching Wycombe, it'd be so happy to know that goal put us in an FA Cup final.



Flop of the Lot


We've struggled in the ball winning department of late, both of our options have no been up to scratch, of course, Daouda has to take the slack for the most of it though, as he is first choice, but his performances really haven't been up to scratch, may need more experienced competition for him.



Title fight coverage


You have no idea how much I'd like to do a commentary style run in of our final games, however, I don't have the facilities to do so right now, nor the time unfortunately, however, I'm giving myself a buffer to come up with something clever to do by only doing a few fixtures in the next update. Got to build up that tension you see.



Of course, we could have won it by the end of those games, in which case I'm screwed for time, oh well, we shall see.

Until then, all comments will be reciprocated,

Bet that Bordeaux game gave you a fright! Great update and story mate. :)
We are top the league I say we are top the league! Liking the style of the story as well as the results bro!! :)
Great story idea and doing really well with Wycombe a cup and likely the lead is great and you could still add more
Foy: Mate, that was nothing compared to the Spurs game, that was so tight xD

BeanyUnited: WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!

ninjaskill: Cheers man, hope we do bud xD
3 players nominated for young potm pretty damn good going mate :D

Dismal


Oh dear oh dear, who knew that 3 little games could instill such fear in me, I'm literally on the seat of my pants right now, fearing the worst for us, we could just throw this away. Our form has dropped and I can't figure out what's wrong, troubling times.

It'll do


Oh no


WHAT ARE YOU DOING


The table


Oooooh the table, the most fearsome it's ever looked, if we slip into 2nd my god I'm going to go down the SI and beat the daylight out of whoever is responsible for this end of season lackadaisical attitude. Right now Spurs are unstoppable, so I have no hope in them dropping points.



Time to crash and burn


Here we go, here's the fixtures, the FA cup tie against Chelsea is penciled in, and I'm confirming now, I will play a rested squad in the first leg for the Europa league, because I need that win against Chesterfield.



Until then, all comments will be reciprocated,

Tah, Alex
Really great ending to the season to come I think!
Can't get over how crazy it is to see League 1 & 2 teams in the top-flight! This is mad and I love it :D
Potentially three trophy wins in the space of one month.... good luck!
