From Portugal with Love

So here I sit after todays loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Being battered by the press for the dismal display of the team today. It just seems like no one ever notices the team you put out. A fairly reserve filled team so I can keep players fit for games to come.


At least our games prior to this one went decently. (Against Leverkusen and QPR)


It certainly looks as if Adebayor is pushing to grab his spot back on the team. Great news as I love a bit of inter squad competition. Unfortunately Bale has had to miss out on these past games due to injury. He will be sorely missed. Next game is against Aston Villa and I am hoping to get the boys back on track staying in the top 4.

You drew against Queens Park Rangers?

Yeah unfortunately better than a loss I suppose. We just couldn't get past Samba

Unlucky so far mate, keep going and you will get those consecutive wins

A fairly successful few weeks for the club, players and I. After our draw and loss to QPR and Wolves respectively. Our next fixture against the Villains was going to be a hard one. Fortunately it was at home where we had the fans backing. My wife and children even came out to watch. I guess I must have looked a little stressed at home and they must have noticed. Always feel better with them watching.



An excellent show from a neutral position but still not what I was looking for. Our next game against APOEL was much better and truly showed our intention and dominance in our group for the Europa League.


That game really boosted moral for us and it showed the competition within the squad as our Striking and AMC positions had heated runs to become the starting XI. Unfortunately three days later we had to travel to Anfield jet lagged.

Great couple of results. Good luck at Anfield!

Good couple of wins there although shipping 4 goals to Villa is a worry

After the loss at Liverpool over a week ago we are looking to bounce back with a win against our London rivals Chelsea. With Defoe now in their line up he could and will threaten us infront of goal. Along with Adrian and Subotic who they brought in from Atletico and Dortmund respectively. Those two can be hard players to work around. Especially Adrian, I cannot lie when he did catch my eye during the transfer window but Atletico weren't having it when I sent a cheeky bid of 6m to the Vincente Calderon.


Rodrigo again being my wonder man he truly deserves credit for what he has done so far for the club and me. A remember the pundits at first being skeptical of his signing. Now they can eat their own words as I truly believe Rodrigo will go far with this club.

A little taste of Portugal today as Europa team Academica made their way to White Hart Lane. Funnily enough that was my first team to manage. To make the fixture a little more special my family came along to watch and Levy got them some good seats in the box.


Bale played absolute amazing football getting on the score sheet and assisting a goal. Along with our superstar Holtby who as well as Rodrigo has blown me out of the water with there unexpected string of strong performances.

Villas-Boas has a son?

Thanks!

We pulled the Geordies to our den today and we delivered a wonderful performance as we sent the Toon Army packing. Well at least Mike Ashley (Newcastle Chairman) got to watch his favorite team play! Yes in my time over here I have learnt a bit of juicy news.


This win spiked us into 2nd position just under Everton.. Yes Everton of all clubs

Yeah I heard Mike Ashley was a Spurs fan too. Easy win
