Capital One Cup:
Went out on penalties after a 3-3 aggregate draw with Aston Villa in the semi finals. We hit the post an inordinate number of times in the 2nd leg, but it just wasn't to be.

FA Cup:
Won away at Brighton 3-1 and then beat Liverpool 3-0 at home but lost 2-0 in the quarter final against Southampton.

Europa League:
Beat Sporting 5-1 on aggregate in the 1st knockout round. However, Valencia knocked me out after a 3-3 draw on aggregate, where they went through on away goals. Hate that rule.

We are top of the league, with 63 points in 28 games! It's a 2 horse race between us and Chelsea, who are 2 points behind us.

Next update will have the final 10 league games, and we will see how the title race has transpired…

The remaining 10 Premier League games unfolded like this:

Newcastle 2-0 Norwich
Burnley 1-3 Newcastle
Newcastle 1-2 Watford
Leicester 2-5 Newcastle
Newcastle 3-3 Man City
Arsenal 3-1 Newcastle
Newcastle 3-0 QPR
Liverpool 0-0 Newcastle
Newcastle 5-0 Sunderland

WE WON THE LEAGUE!

Finished 1st with 83 points. We scored a whopping 102 goals in our title winning season. Was such a close run thing, Chelsea always pouncing on us whenever we dropped points. But we've finally done it. Proud as punch.

Honourable mentions to Barkley, Wilson, Donnarumma, Perez, Moreira, Gray and Dier who were all key to our title success.

I won the 20/21 manager of the year award.



And thank you, to you fine people who take the time to follow my progress with this save here on FM Scout, it's been a great journey, with hopefully much more to come…
