Hey folks just got done with another good season in charge of MAN UTD..., trying to build on the success we had last season going unbeaten and winning all cups except the UCL cup which chelsea and the refs stole from me but i digress..., aiiight first off will be posting those screens very soon so bare with me kinda new to all this..., Aiiight..., so spent 22.5mil during the summer on MC-Javi Martinez from spanish side athletic(Good buy)..., with 44.5mil left was in need of a good GK cos van der saar and foster couldn't cut, was gonna spend all on frey but after some advice form you guys decided to hang on to my cash.The season started off all wrong lost the community shield to arsenal, but picked up a good win at fulham 5-0 but then lost big to liverpool 3-0..., and that was the trend for the first 5 games WLWLW we started to gel by the 6th game and then it was 13 straight wins (includes ECC, League cup & FA rounds) till chelsea brought us down to earth 2-1 loss no matter we already had first place locked down. this season was tough seeing as i couldn't pick up a win against the likes of liverpool, arsenal and chelsea same teams i destroyed last season..., anyway was 1st in ECC group stages and would be facing juventus in the next round was doing good in both the league and cup rounds...., and maintained my lead, but hit by injuries to rooney and ronaldo, meant goals were few and far between as tevez and saha just couldn't get it done..., last seasons siging henri saivet came on and produced some good display be for fazing out again..., started experimenting with some different tactics as a usu play 4-4-2 was getting the wins but not by much, by Jan we had 7 point lead in the table, sold MC-michael carrick for 10.5mil to newcastle then bought GK-hugo lloris 10mil thanks to u guys again solid buy 4 straight clean sheets, with rooney still injured and tevez/saha putting in sub par performances spent 36.5mil on sergio aguero to get the goals back up (started great but slowed down towards the season end). so the season continues lost the League Cup to man city in pens (yeah i know..., terrible) but thanks again to the refs 2 goals disallowed to offside replays show 1 wasn't and their goal was totally offside but hey thats football sometimes right, lost the first leg of ECC to juventus away 3-2 but got back at home 3-0 win next it was valencia in the Qtr finals 2-0 win at home and 3-1 win away great perfomance..., now its totally crazy but the same four team in the final last season make it back this season it was MAN UTD vs Arsenal and Chelsea vs Milan again..., well got totally lucky couldn't beat arsenal all season but a lucky 1-0 win at home and 1-2 loss away meant i won on away goals and when i say lucky i mean real lucky..., cos milan was able to beat chelsea on away goals too was totally happy cos chelsea just seem unbeatable and at least got a chance with milan. another lucky victory was in the FA cup semis..., beat chelsea 1-0
and they attacked the whole time (you know how u hate those games where u the attacking team the whole time and can't seem to put the goals away and the other team get like 2-3 shots and one goes in) well i was the other team this time thank God though..., so with chelsea and arsenal both picking up ties in the league was able to build a 9 point lead cos was beating the other teams. aiiight finale time..., won the league with a 6 point gap..., beat tottenham in FA cup 2-1..., another lucky goal in 2nd half of extra time..., then it was the final i was waiting for, nothing was gonna stop me this time, put out my strongest 11 and faced milan head on, well wasn't that great a final was 0-0 till pens and MAN UTD win 8-7 on pens real crazy..., so now looking forward to my 3rd season in charge...., got a good squad but now need strength in defence..., by the way DC-vincent kompany is a great buy totally better than ferdinand..., he and vidic ran my D...., aiiight now the squad layout
