Back To The Old Times
I had not been this nervous since the day I left F.C. it must be something about that place that gets me nervous, the plastic fans most likely are the reason. I don't want to do badly in front of them and give them an ounce of happiness. They made my first managerial job hell! And I hate them for it. But today me and my Randers side who are suprisingly challenging for the title, travel to F.C. to face off against my old team it was going to be intense it was going to be tough but I was looking forward to it!
Line Ups
I sat in my desk office chair and swivled around while chewing on my pen........ Who to start for such a physical game. I decided to leave it how it has been for several weeks now, no point changing a winning formula for one match!
The Match
We got of the bus to enter the stadium three hours before kick-off we wanted to be there early, but the F.C. 'fans' were there. They shouted abuse at me from the side lines I quickly joged up the steps and opened the door for my players to quickly enter through before any of the 'fans' got to them but I was not going to let them get away with this. I waited my moment and heard one 'fan' shout at me. "Your a sh*t manager with a sh*t club!!!" So I turned round and without hesitating replied, "Where are you in the table?? Oh yeah in the relegation zone!" then turned and left.
This is going to be a tense match.

Unpleasant scenes here as Jensen offers his hand to shake the F.C. managers hand who has refused to shake Jensen's hand and walks off. Jensen is not having any of it and he runs after his opposite number and has had to be pulled away from a confrontation by several of his own coaching staff!! !Kensen is not best pleased!!
Ryker's View
I stromed into my teams dressing room and joined in the celebrations in the dressing room, the players knew how much this meant for me and they had not dissapointed. I looked at all them and told them " You guys are immortal to me... Never forget that!" Then I ran out of the dressing room to celebrate with the away fans! I was loving it! The Randers fans were lapping it all up it was a time not to forget!
