Episode 90: Heading To The Top Of The League!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzktbhTvp-Q

The upturn in form continues today with some good wins against teams we have to be beating. We also take on Liverpool and United away from home in the first real test of our new away tactic.

Despite going out of the EFL Cup, we're in a good position to go top of the table soon and win our Champions League group. The FA Cup and transfer window are just around the corner!
Episode 91: Three Massive League Games!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJcIElt0218&t=250s

Our excellent form put us right back into title contention but today we have big games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City as we look to keep pace at the top of the table.

After winning the Champions League group, we weren't able to keep that momentum going and squandered a good lead at Man City that could have a big bearing on the title race. The main thing is that we're beating the little teams - something we haven't done in the past.
Episode 92: We Signed Lionel Messi!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lyh7y721Uog

This episode is an absolute banger! The January Transfer Window is open and we smash our club transfer record by bringing in Gareth Breen from West Ham. We also pick up an aging Lionel Messi to make sure both Messi and Ronaldo have played for our club!

On top of all that, we get revenge on Sunderland in the FA Cup by crushing them 10-1! An absolutely phenomenal performance!
Episode 93: Barcelona and Man Utd!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKnNC0wj-zU

It was always going to be impossible to follow up yesterdays episode after crushing Sunderland by 10 - 1. But fortunately for us, we had an amazing chance at home to United and away at Barcelona!

Both games resulted in victories for the team and have help close the league gap to six points. The win over Barcelona away is easily one of the best wins in the club's history, but we need to follow it up in the home leg to make the quarter finals!
Episode 94: We are top of the league!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQlRUWfImnA

Not that long ago we were at risk of falling 12 points behind the league leaders... By the end of this episode, we're sitting at the top of the league! There's still a long way to go, but we're in a very good position.

Some excellent league form has propelled us into being a contender, but it came at the price of an FA Cup defeat to West Ham. We did however totally crush Barcelona 3-0 to qualify for the Champions League quarter finals with ease.
Episode 95: Title Decider with Man City - AGAIN!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW5_hPc9Wtw

Just like we did last season, we face Manchester City away right at the end of the season with the Premier League Title on the line. Last season that fixture alone cost us the title and this time around it's just as dramatic!

We also have to take on Real Madrid home and away in the Champions League Quarter Final. Fortunately for us we continue the trend we start against Barcelona and make it to our first Champions League Semi Final!
Episode 96: DID WE WIN THE LEAGUE?!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHWfxdqtJew

WE DID IT! By the absolute skin of our teeth we did it! An 83rd minute strike from Gareth Breen hands us the title by one, single, goal! Absolutely incredible stuff!

We've also somehow had an amazing comeback in the Champions League to set up a Final appearance with Benfica!
Episode 97: The Champions League Final!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFD5RUms4uk

I'm still not completely recovered from that incredible and dramatic league win last episode, but we go again with a Champions League Final against Benfica!

We're two clubs with no experience of success at the highest level of European football, but it looks like we might not be the club celebrating the double this season...
Episode 98: Starting Our Final Season With Silverware!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF59KJ6NcUo

After winning our first title for decades, we turned our attention to the transfer market in a bid to improve our team ready to go again. We managed to hold onto all of our best players and bring in one additional big signing to strengthen our midfield.

We also take on Manchester City in the Community Shield for an early test of our new strength. Luckily, our final season kicks off with some morale boosting silverware!
Episode 99: A Near Perfect Start!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcsLNcwtlzo

It's important that we make the most of an easy start to the league season by picking up maximum points - and for the first three games we do just that!

Unfortunately Stoke give us a sharp reminder of how difficulty things can be if we don't take every opponent seriously. Wins over Sunderland and Inter Milan do lift our spirits and overall the start leaves us in a pretty good place.
Episode 100: Starting Strong!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQgzwxIKyls

It's another episode with five wins and one defeat, although I'm not too sad about the defeat as it fees up our mid-week fixtures from the burden of the EFL Cup.

Our Champions League campaign has started off strong as we look to end our final season at the club with European glory. The heartbreak of last season is still in our minds and we want to prove everyone wrong!
Episode 101: Annihilating Arsenal!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVsfbvGDN2s

This starts out pretty rough as we go two games without a victory and setting up the possibility for a rough run of form. Instead, the team digs in and pulls out four consecutive victories!

Top of the class is a stunning demolition of Arsenal - winning 5 - 1 at home!
Episode 102: Chelsea and Spurs Away!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLQGRd6woZo

Our team is really starting to gel together very well now as some of the younger players get more used to being in the first team. We take out a lot of the lower teams in the league before finishing up with big games away against Spurs and Chelsea.

Both of those matches are absolute belters and they leave us in an incredible position as we approach the half way stage of the season.
Episode 103: Ten Points Clear!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sG47Pqx3pk

The hard league struggles of a few years ago seem a million miles away now! Another fantastic episode has left us ten points clear at the top of the league in January!

The focus now is definitely on making sure we maintain and extend the lead ahead of the crunch Champions League games.
Episode 104: Manchester United and the Transfer Window!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y4OT5r16bA

It's another solid episode today but we are starting to slip up some very easy points against the teams we were beating very easily earlier in the season. Sunderland and Crystal Palace are both in the relegation zone and should have been giving us maximum points.

On the plus side, we have beaten Manchester United very comfortably in the league, removing our biggest competitor from last season from the title race already!
