Premier League Table

My Review

Altogether, we had a decent season. We had a good run in the Europa League but didn’t do too well in the cups and the Premier League.

Europa League Final

Congratulation to Tottenham Hotspur on their Europe League 2012/13 win over Benfica.

Champions League

Congratulation to Barcelona on their Champions League 2012/13 win over Real Madrid.

Manager’s Monthly Review

Good start from us with a 3-0 win over West Brom, but a bad result over Derby in the Cap One Cup was disappointing. The comeback draw against Liverpool was pleasing and the Chelsea result was annoying, as I thought we could at least get a draw.

Player of the Month

Despite a bad month, Coloccini put in some good performances at the back.

Not the best month in some ways, but amazing in others. For example, we went 3 matches without winning, to games which were easily winnable, but on the other hand, WE’RE IN THE FA CUP FINAL!!!
