Sunderland 3 – 3 Fulham

An absolute cracker of a game at the Stadium of Light. A Fulham side riding the waves of fortune that have seen them surf towards the top of the table travelled North expecting a tough game, maybe to be one by an odd goal. However, that was not to be. I got the side playing the football that I love and we were scoring freely. We were aware of the attacking threat Fulham posed, and we knew we had to outscore them, which we nearly did. Having gone behind to a Saha goal, on loan striker Stefan Moore hit back. A dull period saw us through to half time at 1-1.

Then the fireworks began. Saha scored again, Michael Stewart hitting back on 70 minutes. Centre-back George McCartney, replacing recently departed Joachim Bjorklund, scored a cracking header from an inswinging corner. Yet Fulham grabbed a point with a last gasp equaliser from Barry Hayles.

Sunderland’s transformation is nearing completion. Bjorklund’s departure provides the wage bill a much needed break, and new signing Julian Gray (on an economical £3,000 p/w) has joined Murphy and Ashikodi in being imports capable of Premiership football.

Preston 2 – 3 Sunderland

This truly was a game of two halves. After a dyer first half, which Preston came into with a very defensive outlook, Tommy Smith was thrown on. He had been out of favour with the fans and myself, having been lacklustre in his early games up front with Brett Ormerod. However, with Ormerod out of the picture (an early season transfer to Stoke) Smith was ready to impose himself. A second half hat-trick, on the 52nd, the 66th and the 79th minutes, only interrupted by Onibuje and Fuller of Preston, wowed the fans and proved to his team mates what he was capable of doing. However, he is still yet to produce this kind of form again, and is already drifting out of the side.

Sunderland 1 – 3 Leicester

Having put together a decent run of results, Sunderland were shown up against a better Leicester side. However Sunderland started much the brighter in front of a 33,000 crowd, with Michael Stewart scoring on 20 minutes. After this Leicester took control, Carl Robinson netting a brace before Neil Wood converted a very contentious penalty. A poor result, suggesting that Sunderland just aren’t good enough to get promotion this season.


Tottenham 1 – 0 Sunderland

A terrible game where both Tottenham and Sunderland were shown up to be first division standard. Tottenham failed to give any real penetration, and Sunderland defended valiantly. The first half was so bad, fans were leaving to go and watch the amateur bowls held next door in the White Harte Lane community centre. After Tottenham took the lead through Michael Rickets, Sunderland didn’t look like they had anything in return.

A relief to myself, I want to concentrate on making the playoffs. (lol)

[Mike_Law]

Tottenham going through bad spell.

Tottenham having a reasionable start to the season hav not been able to get league win since the start of the season. The Tottenham forwards just seem unable to score in league games, not for lack of chances.

Tottenham manager is looking to bring in a fue players to try to change the teams fortunes in the league. The pressure is really on for manager Mike Law to start winning, as the surporters are starting to get tierd of wanting for resoults.

In all other competions tottenham have been going strong. Winning all games it the UFFA cup by considerable margins.

Clan News

Goran has now been kicked out of the clan because of the lag that he was bringing to the game. However Fred Patten has now replaced him and will start on tuesday. He has yet to decide a team though but will have done by tommorow.

Ok..The aim for this session was to get Millwall back on the winning track...A brand new tactic was implemented going back to a trusty old 4-4-2 from a tradgic 4-1-3-2. We really need to get some wins on the ball now or we are going to go down. Still need players for critical areas.

Millwall 2 Coventry 1

Started quite brightly but gave a soft goal away in the 14th minute even though i thought we were playing them of the park. We managed to pull 2 back and win the game. On the whole I thought we could have won by more. The new tactic seemed to work a treat and players responded well to the tactic change.

15/1/2005
Millwall 1 cardiff 2 (james Cale aka jimmy)

Not the best of times to be playing cardiff as there were on a 8 games unbeaten run and the last 6 of them they won. So we were expecting a very hard game from the beginning..I had to tinker around with the team a little but to no avail..
We went a goal down in 23rd and then went two down in the 61st minute. We managed to bring one back in the 79th minute with a bizarre cross/goal which set up a good last 10 mins.
Overall i was pleased with the performance as i personally thought we played well. On the day the team with that little extra class won.


19/1/2005
Crewe 0 Millwall 2


This result took us out the bottom three..We had to soak up a lot of pressure but we also caused a few problems. Two good taking goals by cahill with one of them winning goal of the month with a audacious lob from the half way line. A very good performance against another team strugling at the wrong end of the table. Tactics seem to be fitting well.


22/1/2005
Crystal Palace 3 Millwall 3

We conceaded another sloppy goal on the 9th minute but equalised almost instantly on the 11th minute making it 1-1. We then went 2-1 down 42nd minute going in at half time 2-1 down. Second half we equalised straight away on the 48th minute making it 2-2. We then went ahead on the 66th minute but couldn't manage to keep the lead as we conceaded again on the 72nd minute.
A very entertaining game with another team fighting it out at the bottom. On the whole i would have liked all three points but at the end was happy to draw.


2/2/2005
Reading(Joey Briggs) 0 Millwall 1

A very close game at reading which ended in Millwall grabbing the points. I knew it would be a hard game Reading were chasing promotion spot and had a little slip up lately. Overall i think we had enough chances but were sometimes pushed on the back foot.


A lot better session this time round and i feeling that something could happen at Millwall..



Also this session Lee Owens got the sack which was amusing but best of luck with huddersfield mate

[ChampHolic]

Clan session: Monday 12th January 2004

The session started off rather badly and despite plymouth winning their 2nd game of the night manager Lee Owens got sacked from plymouth and therefore had to take a club that was either unmanaged or in the relegation zone. He decided to take huddersfield as he always likes challenges and with huddersfield in relegation at the time is was gonna be one. Here is how the remaining plymouth games went that Lee Owens was managing them in still and how the start was for hudderfield having been appointed by them.

Oldham 5-3 Plymouth
Scorers: weatherson (2), keith

Plymouth started this game very strongly and went 2 up in the first half. However the 2nd half plymouth had fallen apart and oldham took advantage of this and score some wonderful goals to give them the win and make Lee Owens' position more unsecure than it already is at Plymouth.

Bournemouth 2-5 Plymouth
Scorers: weatherson (4), keith

Plymouth were in dominant form in this game and didnt give bournemouth many chances. Before plymouth knew it they were 3-0 up in a matter of a few minutes. After these 3 had been scored bournemouth grabbed 2 goals and made it look as if they were gonna pull off a great comeback but 2 more goals for plymouth sealed the victory.

Unfourtunately after this result manager Lee Owens was no longer at plymouth any more and took on the role of huddersfield. Here is how New huddersfield manager Lee Owens coped with his first few games in charge of them. Lee Owens immediately felt that his side lacked depth so purchased 2 new strikers and a defender which didnt arrive until after his first game in charge. As soon as they did arrive though they certainly made huddersfield play better as a whole team.

Huddersfield 1-2 Rushden (human side)
Scorers: Newby

The start of a new career for Lee Owens. It all started off real well aswell as newby scored on around the 18th minute. This game was evenly matched all the way through and its wasnt until fairly late in the game that ant's rusden scored 2 goals to grab the 3 points off huddersfield.

Huddersfield 2-1 Stockport
Scorers: Watson, calliste

The new signings had come and huddersfield were already a new team. They showed this by pulling off a well deserved victory against a good side.

Huddersfield 2-2 Bradford City
Scorers: Calliste, Moran

This was another strong performance from huddersfield as really they dominated this game for most of it . Bradford were very lucky and only just managed to get the equaliser late in the game.

Huddersfield 2-0 Brentford
Calliste (2)

Manager Lee Owens ended tonights session with an easy victory that could well of been more. With huddersfield now just out of relegation the remainder of the season is looking a very bright one for huddersfield. With the 2 new strikers upfront calliste and morgan huddersfield are getting more points than what they would of done without. Who knows where huddersfield's final position will be come the end of the season. Read here to find out....
