Preseason

June

Very limited funds to spend, but we do have one more new signing. Former Real Betis star Denilson is set to join us on a free.

Frienlys confirmed are

23/7 Arsenal Tivat
25/7 Mornar
27/7 Vojvodina
29/7 Novi Sad

All of which are part of our tour of Serbia and montenegro

Our opening fixture just to test us will be Vs Arsenal

Brail also ended Englands World cup hopes in a 4-3 win on pens after a 0-0 draw in the quater finals.

July

Brazil won the world cup in the end meanwhile my lack of transfer funds has left me with a misson that fans on Bargin Hunt would love.

We brought in a total of 7 plays while only spending 900k

Michael Svensson (Southampton), Massimo Maccarone (Middlesbough), Denilson (Bordeaux), Nikkel Bischoff (Manchester City), Robbie Fowler (Free) and Cimen (Free) all join the club for nothing while i signed 22 year old Paraguayian keeper Anthony Silva for 350k from Santos Laguna and 22 year old Scotland keeper Iain Turner from Everton.

We've also signed Louis Saha on loan for the season from Manchester United.

Arsenal Vs Leeds United

And so the season begins. Our line up is as follows.
Formation 4-1-2-1-2 - Turner, Harding, Bischoff, Svensson, Marques, Derry, Denilson, Bakke, Einarsson, Blake, Maccarone Subs: Walton, Gregan, Lewis, Cresswell, Saha.

What a dream start. 8 mins in and Maccarone has a shot saved from keeper De Sanctis, which rebounds to the feet of Blake to score, 24 mins and were 2 up after a penalty delivered by Blake.

Then the bubble burst. 2 mins later Henry got onto a Reyes shot that was deflected to make it 2-1 and with in 5 mins it was 2-2 Henry beating Bischoff to put it away. Goal of the match had to be Gilberto Silva's one. 51 mins in and he jumped onto a cleared corner from 35 yards out and took a shot that sailed over the keeper, much like David Beckhams one for Man Utd against Wimbledon.

Still it was a good perforance from my team, and we can't go home too unhappy

Arsenal 3 - 2 Leeds

Leeds United Vs Manchester United

Closet to a derby we'll get this year, Marques, Blake and Saha have picked up knocks and are replaced by Gregan, Fowler and Cresswell with Cimen moving onto the bench.

Both side had great chances to score but we got ours in the net and thats what mattered. A Man Utd corner was cleared well and found Fowler for us to launch a counter attack. Fowler crossed the ball into the center to find Maccarone who had little trouble beating Van Der Sar.

Our first 3 points in the premiership and they couldn't be sweeter, and infront of a soldout crowd.

Leeds Utd 1 - 0 Man Utd
Att: 40,261

Other Results

Aston Villa 1 - 1 Newcastle
Cardiff 1 - 2 Arsenal
Crystal Palace 2 - 1 Portsmouth
Everton 1 - 0 Chelsea
Fulham 2 - 3 Liverpool
Man City 0 - 1 Bolton
Middlesbough 2 - 2 Birmingham
Sunderland 0 - 2 Charlton
Tottenham 2 - 0 Blackburn

So we sit 10th after 2 games but top is an impressive Everton side who have now too points from both Liverpool and Chelsea.

Meanwhile news is traveling round that Sir Alex Ferguson was not happy about the champions perfomance against us. Well Alex don't blame your team cause you gloated before match and lost

Next up on our Baptism of fire. Liverpool at Anfield

due to a buggy harchester patch messing up my game I'm going to have to give up this story.

The saves just won't load, so much for reinstalling your game doesn't effect your games.

I may start a new one but to be honest i doubt it

retired_aurie

Hopefully you'll get a chance to have a fresh start on this idea. It's so sad when those bloomin' patches mess up the games
