Group Stage: Zaragoza 1-4 Newcastle. 1st Knockout Stage, 1st Leg: Newcastle 3-3 Milan. 1st Knockout Stage, 2nd Leg: Milan 2-1 Newcastle. First XI start of season: Shay Given (c), Micah Richards, Steven Smith, Fabricio Coloccini, Domenico Criscito, Joey Barton, Javier Mascherano, Matias Fernandez, David Bentley, Alex Fernandez, Valeri Bojinov. First XI end of season: Shay Given (c), Micah Richards, Steven Smith, Fabricio Coloccini, Domenico Criscito, Joey Barton, John Obi Mikel, Matias Fernandez, David Bentley, Alex Fernandez, Valeri Bojinov. Top Scorer: Alex Fernandez (36) Top Assister: Matias Fernandez (21). Fans Player Of The Year: Valeri Bojinov. Your Player Of The Year: Shay Given - Again he improved from the season before and when I signed a new goalkeeper in the summer, he didn't moan and kept his place in the team by turning in consistant performances. He didn't make a single mistake all season neither. Transfers In: Jon Obi Mikel (£3m from Chelsea), Matias Fernandez (£30m from Roma), Stipe Pletikosa (£250k from Spartak Moscow). Best Buy: Matias Fernandez - Fit into the team excellently and ended up being the primary provider for my new Toon. Transfers Out: Michael McCrudden (Released), Nick May (Released), Campbell Bell (Free to Chester), Phil Airey (£110k to Derby), Stuart Bath (Free to Man City), Jeff Henderson (£70k to Peterborough), Kazenga LuaLua (£210k to Burnley), Ryan Donaldson (£160k to Watford), Nicky Butt (£300k to Bristol City), Ben Tozer (£60k to Arsenal), Kieron Wrightson (£210k to QPR), Damien Duff (£1.3m to Man City), Steven Taylor (£3.1m to Portsmouth), Tony Kendall (Released), Tim Krul (Released), Lewis Mitchell (Released), Steve Harper (£700k to Preston), Lee Smith (£12k to Bristol City). Best Sale: Steven Taylor - He was hardly used last season and yet Pompey still paid full price for him. Reflection: After three long seasons of trying, the English Premier League is in my grasp as well as my first League Cup. Unfortunatly a poor performance in the Champions League and a FA Cup final loss put a dampener on my season. I don't actually feel I need any new players as I believe that my team can win it all. I may just buy some more big players and rotate. If it doesn't work then I can always sell people on. Oh and I got offered the Ghana job but I rejected. Screenshots. Newcastle Squad. Best XI.

Top Scorer: David Villa (33) Top Assister: Matias Fernandez (18). Fans Player Of The Year: David Villa. Your Player Of The Year: Shay Given - In pre-season, Given was crap so I dropped him to the reserves. Pletikosa started the season between the sticks but Given impressed in the reserves and won back his place in the team and never left apart from when he got himself injured near the end of the season. Transfers In: Fernando Torres (£39m from Liverpool), David Villa (£27m from Valencia). Best Buy: David Villa: Filled the spot left by Fernandez's sale and outshone the bigger signing of Torres. Transfers Out: Robert Wright (Released), Gary Williams (£425k to Birmingham), Liam Henry (Released), Kevin Griffiths (£600k to West Brom), Shane Ferguson (£475k to West Brom), Liam Henry (Free to Bolton), David Rozehnal (£475k to Porto), Daniel Leadbetter (£140k to Everton), Liam Bradshaw (£90k to Birmingham), Ben Williamson (£190k to Bolton), James Tavernier (£16k to Preston), Alex Fernandez (£20.5m to Barcelona), Gary Ball (Released), Andy Dixon (Released), Fraser Forster (£800k to Plymouth), Doug Bentham (Released). Best Sale: Alex Fernandez: Not really the best sale as he was sold behind my back by the chairman! Disgraceful, we're not short of cash! Reflection: I've now won every major trophy with Newcastle. My next quest is to win every game in the league and maybe even win every competition. Screenshots. Squad. Best 11 Overall. Best 11. Transfers. Premier League Table.

COngrats on the Champions League win, some great results along the way, especially the 5-1 thumping against Newcastle!!! Your league record was ace, only losing 2 games, but you drew too many Unlucky bout the Fernandez sale, and possibly about the Torres buy, but Villa looked like a hit! Also noticed that there were no Newcastle players in your first and last teams.
