AS Monaco - We Want More-ientes

Fernando Morientes' Monaco has broken a French record for consecutive games won, winning 8 in a row during September and October. Breaking the record hasn't come as a shock as Monaco are the favourites for the Ligue 2 title and boast a very strong side.

Morientes had this to say - "It's great to break this record. We have been playing well, scoring goals, defending well and Renan has been superb in goal. The entire team has played a role in this record breaking run. Let's hope there is plenty more to come from the lads".

November and December went well for Monaco during those months we saw Monaco extend their unbeaten league run to 15 games but that is where it ended. Will Hughes scored his first two goals for the club in the win over Nirot which had manager Morientes jumping with delight. Against lower league side Moulin Morientes decided to play a second string side. Hazard scored a 25 yard wonder goal to kick start the game but that proved to be the only Monaco goal of the night but Moulin scored twice. A horror loss in the cup for the Monaco boss who took all the blame. The final game of the two months came against Le Mans, which Monaco lost, in the process ending their unbeaten streak in the League.

Sorry there was no league table on this update. I stupidly forgot to screenshot it at the end of the month and have since played on.

Great job with that unbeaten run mate! Hope you can extend it till the end of the season?

Thanks!
Unfortunately it did end at the end of December.

AS Monaco in the last couple of days have tied up two players on pre-conracts, Manuel Lanzini and Karim Aït-Fana, both of whom will join up with Monaco in the summer. Aït-Fana was a player Monaco were interested in signing in the previous summer transfer window but decided the position he plays was not one that needed immediate strengthening but with Emir Bajrami returning to his parent club at the end of the season signing Aït-Fana on a free was a no brainer for manager Morientes.

The other player Manuel Lanzini, nicknamed La Joya (The Jewell), is an Argentine attacking midfielder who can, if needed, play on either flank. This signing is seen as on for the future and he will re-join former River Plate team mate Lucas Ocampos in Monaco.

Results

Will Hughes opened up the month with the first Monaco goal of 2013, against 2nd placed Laval which proved to be the winner, a great result for Monaco. The month was a short one with just 3 games but with two wins and a draw it was yet another good month for Monaco. With Medjani and more importantly Kone out, both representing their nations at the African Cup of Nations, this will feel like an even better set of results for Monaco.

Great results!

I know, I wasn't sure how to fix it and the images I have used I have since deleted from my computer. What can I do?

Thanks to Akash who sorted the issue for me.
