"What a one sided final! Chelsea thrashed Manchester City by four goals to nil. What a performance both in the final and throughout the whole League Cup tournament. The team played 6 matches in total with Edinson Cavani getting Man of the Match in 4 of the matches, with 5 assists and an outstanding 14 goals. The Uruguayan is definitely on the right track to beating last seasons goalscoring record where he netted 49 times in 56 matches in all competitions. This season he is currently on 46 goals having only played 36 matches so far!"

Edinson Cavani gets the English Premier League Player of the Month award and goalee Leo gets the English Premier League Young Player of the Month award for April. With Leo leading at the back & Cavani up front, we had another brilliant month and moved within reaching distance of our first Premier League Title in seven years, we could be crowned Champions as early as next week when we face Everton. After an unfortunate exit by penalties against Liverpool we can now solely concentrate on the Premier League where one win from our three remaining matches should be enough to clinch it. It would be a 1st for manager Chris Borg who has also won the English Premier League Manager of the Month award this month.

Ross Barkley will be out for 3 weeks after pulling his hamstring.

Damn! I missed out on so much in the past two-three days. Premier League win? You are surely going to be in the reckoning for the real life Chelsea job if RDM messes up this season. Good going.
With regards to your story, I would like to say you are doing a fascinating job. While some prefer taking the slow route, adding a ton of unneeded, while others zoom past their story not mentioning enough, you have successfully struck a balance. Fast delivery with mention of everything from Player of the month to the reserve leagues.

Well done!

Thanks!! Much appreciated!! As u might have seen I do try to add a bit of story to it (when i joined the mexico national team) but it is mainly stats and have managed to push through 7 seasons in two months in my spare time. So yeah all eight winnable titles in these 7 years now but will stay and go as far as I can. I am also taking England to the World Cup now so that is definitely exciting !
