On Safari! Getting the Big 5!

April 2012

Matches:
1/4f ECC: Man City (A) 1-3 win
League: Stuttgard (H) 2-0 win
League: Kaiserslautern (A) 3-1 loss
League: Gladbach (H) 2-0 win
1/2f ECC: Chelsea (H) 2-0 win
League: HSV (A) 4-0 loss
1/2f ECC: Chelsea (A) 3-1 loss, I'm going further on away goals
League: Wolfsburg (H) 1-2 loss

I'm in a bit of a bad run, and that is not what i can afford atm, with 3 more Matches this season:

1st Match: Last Match of League
2nd Match: German Cup Final
3rd Match: Champions League Final

who are your last 3 matches against? by the looks of things your league position has been decided already? if you win the league game there's a good chance you'll win the cup final, obviously like i said i dunno who your matches are against but getting to the final of 2 cups is a good achievement in itself... well done

May 2012

The last 3 Matches:

League: Schalke 04 (H) 3-1 win
German Cup Final: Koln (N) (e)4-2 win
ECC Final: Barcelona (N) 0-1 win (Robben 92th minute point blank header)

So, I've done the Treble

and than the job-offers come, and only 2 for me: AC Milan and Juventus.
By advice of you guys I chose Juventus.

First things to do? Appoint an assistant, and cutting the wage bill.
Buffon is the first who may go away, I'm looking for Ter Stegen, or LLoris to fill in his place.

Very nicely done
I look forward to seeing where you head next
