Tottenham Announce New Manager

Tottenham have unveiled Chris Cain as the new manager at W H L, the fans will no doubt be wondering who he is and where he came from, we sent a reporter to find out:

Reporter:
Thanx for talking with us Chris, can we start by asking how on earth you managed to land a top job in the Premiership with Tottenham?

C Cain:
I was approached for the vacant managers position, after the previous manager (Ruud Gullit) had left the club in a sorry state.

I recieved a phone call explaining what was available at the club, which is not much, and also outlined what the club would expect from me.

Reporter:
Can you expand on that for us?

C Cain:
Basically, the Club has been run into the ground for the past decade! There is no hiding from the fact, Fat Cat players demanding huge wages to sit on the bench week in week out!

I have been given the task of making the club:
A) Proffitable.
and:
B) Successful.

These two both go "Hand-in-Hand" in my opinion, and certain people have very little time to sort their futures out. These players know who they are.

Reporter:
So, you have taken the club over in 13th Place in the league, and a fair way from the heights of Europe. What will be the biggest challenge at the club?

C Cain:
Avoiding stupid questions from the media , most probably.

Mr Cain is obviously looking to inject some steel into a beleagured Tottenham, and who would bet against him with the opening four games in charge?

Cain's men have Picked up 7 points in the Premiership from a possible 9, beating the current Champions of England in his first game in charge!!!

Mondays Session.

First up was Newcastle United at W H L, this was not the game I had in mind to ease into the managerial role. But, you have to face them sometime, may as well be now.

Tottenham 2 Newcastle 1

An absolute cracking game of football, White Heart Lane was not packed to the rafters for this one, but when word gets round how well they played against the Champions they will be flocking to the ground. Tottenham went behind to a great turn and volley from Braathen in the 19th min to leave the Spurs fans wondering why they bothered to leave the pub.

But after that, it was all Tottenham! Mabizela was a dream to watch in the DM role, breaking up the play then feeding the front two. Mabizela got his reward in the 58th Min with a swerving shot from 25 yrds out that flew past the keeper. Six mins later, Postiga was all alone in the box, after Mabizela stung the hands of the keeper, and was gifted to an open net.

A great Moral Booster for the team, and the new manager.

UEFA Cup 2nd round 2nd leg
Malmo FF 0 Tottenham 4

Helder Postiga and Mabizela stole the show in this one, Postiga Netting 2 while goals from Kanoute and Sang-Chul gave Spurs passage to the Third round.

Burnley 1 Tottenham 1

With players tired after the Euro game, I wanted to rest some players for this game. The fact that my only keeper, with an age of over 16 at the club, was on International duty prevented me from doing this. Postiga opeed the scoring on 10 mins before Little equalised in the 45th min. And so it finished.

Tottenham 1 Charlton 0
With players needing a rest, it was vital that the players that are honoured enough to were the White strip of North London, stand up and be counted. Leadley King did just that in the 28th min, rising to meet a Postiga corner from the Left, he smashed the back of the net with a thunderous header from 12 yrds. Things could have been better, had Zamora not hit the post with a Penalty in the 41st min.

A great start for the new man.

Go On The Spurs.

New bolton manager has a great session but could of been better

As Lee Owens had only just been appointed by bolton as their new manager he had a lot of things to sort out. As bolton didnt have much funds and had a large loan to pay off bolton couldnt really afford to buy any players. So there Lee went onto the free market and picked up a nice little striker off there. He then brought in a few loan players from premiership teams and they seem to be doing the trick so far. This was by far one of the best sessions Lee Owens has had in a long time as he hadnt had much luck previously with his other clubs.

As there was a couple of new members starting on this fine night the game was always going to run a little slower. It actually ran pretty well and bolton got 5 games in. Here is how all there games went in last nights session.

Monday session

Wigan 2-6 Bolton
Scorers: Arfa (4), Holm, Bates

This was an amazing start to the session and bolton were on fire. Although bates missed a penalty on the first minute bolton were dominant throughout the entire game. Wigan didnt have many chances and gave away the ball too much which allowed the bolton players all the space they needed to tuck away a couple of goals. Bates narrowly escaped punishment for missing the penalty by scoring a goal on the 90th minute. Also arfa on loan from arsenal played superbly and boosted confidence for the whole team. Man of the match and he fully deserved it.

Bolton 2-0 Crystal Palace
Scorers: Nolan, Arfa

Its very rarely any team that manager Lee Owens manages win two games in a row but to his suprise they did. Another good display from bolton secured another 3 points although it was tight at a few stages.

Chesterfield 2-2 Bolton
Scorers: Arfa (2)

This was one of those games where if you score the opposition always scores straight after or after sometime. After going up 1-0 in the early stages of the game chesterfield fought back and scored a well deserved goal to make it 1-1 at half time. The second half began and bolton seemed to be in control. They then grabbed what they thought would be the winner but a late goal by chesterfield annoyed manager Lee Owens.

Bolton 1-1 Blackpool
Scorers: Arfa

Arfa again netted the goal and gave bolton another point but again they should of won this game but blackpool grabbed a late i suppose deserved equaliser as bolton wasnt playing their best.

Everton 5-0 Bolton

First loss under management of bolton and what a loss it is to remember. With arfa injured bolton were weak in attack and when bolton are weak in attack everything goes pear shaped.

With bolton currently moving slowly up the division one table things aint looking too bad. About 15 more games until the end of the season and who knows bolton could get a playoff spot or maybe higher but i guess we will just have to see. Till next report thats all from me

just to let all know why game is a little bit delayed in going up in tonights session. Its because jimmy is at work so therefore his girlfriend has to load the game up once she gets back from gym so sorry for the wait people

Toon March on towards title

Despite some up and down form Newcastle have managed to keep on top of the premiership and look favourites to win the premiership this year. They havent had it all their own way though, noteably being outplayed at White Hart Lane and some stuttering performances meaning it should be a lot closer this year in the league.

But the last set of results, coinciding with the return to full fitness of Morgan, Dyer, Jenas and Oskarsson is very promising and with Todorov, Oskarsson and Braathen scoring at will (todorov scoring 7 goals against Flamengo & Braathen 5 against Stockport) means we have increased the gap at the top of the table to 12 points at the moment.

Although injuries blighted our early season form we now have an amazingly strong squad, having basically 2 first XI's. The squad is still in every cup competition inc the League Cup Semi's, FA Cup 4th Rd and the Champions League 2nd rd. So far this season we have won the Charity Shield, The Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup as well. Will Newcastle be able to complete a historic 7 trohpy season? tbh i doubt it but with the squad i have you never know.

I will post details of this years transfer dealings so far including signing the Argentinian starlets Carvalho & Milito, and the sale of Bellamy to Arsenal.

Our results so far this season are as follows :

Bolton manager Lee Owens continues to do well at bolton but falls a little bit at the end

With bolton manager Lee Owens settling nicely in at bolton. Bolton are finding themselves moving up division one slowly but surely. With another fairly good run of results this session they certainly pleased Lee Owens. Here is how the results went in this session.

Tuesday session

After the little bit of a slow start to this session Lee Owens still managed to play quite a lot of games here is how he did in these games.

Bolton 4-3 Rotherham
Scorers: Arfa (4)

First game back for arfa and he did it all alone. Scoring 4 marvelous goals and guiding bolton to a well deserved victory but it wasnt an easy one. An action packed game which in the end turned out good for bolton. After this match manager Lee Owens declared himself extremely pleased for bolton.

Bolton 4-0 Coventry
Scorers: Bates, Nolan, Arfa (2)

With the usual suspects scoring coventry done little to prevent them from and in the end got battered. Bolton playing near their best and seemed unstoppable in this game.

QPR 0-3 Bolton
Scorers: Gardner, Bates, Mendes

This game seen mendes get his first goal for bolton and a great goal it was. Before the game Lee Owens had his doubts but they soon dissappeared when bolton again produced some great football and claimed another 3 points.

Bolton 4-0 Leeds (FA Cup)
Scorers: Arfa (3), Ze Mario

Another goal came from new boy ze mario and arfa scored more to add to his great tally. This win wasnt expected as it was mighty leeds with the like of semler upfront but this seen them through to the next round of the fa cup.

Bolton 4-1 Bristol City
Scorers: Bates (2), Nolan, Own Goal

Another win seen bolton move into 12th after this game and start to see light at the end of the tunnel. With arfa not scoring in this game which was unusual bolton still rounded off a good performance and got another 3 valuable points.

Bolton 2-2 Wolves
Scorers: Arfa

This is definetely a game that bolton should of won if it wasnt for the crap linesman. With bolton going 1-0 up very early then wolves coming back twice and if it wasnt for 2 goals being disallowed they would of got another win which they fully deserved.

Stoke 3-1 Bolton
Scorers: Holm

With holm the only scorer in this game bolton got beat for their first time in 6 games. A not so good performance seen bolton lose 3 points that they needed. Stoke did play well though and didnt give much away.

Leeds 3-0 Bolton

As bolton fell to their 2nd defeat things didnt end too well at bolton in this session. After their recent results bolton must of got too confident and thought that they would win these 2 games also but obviously they didnt.

With the season brightening up for bolton its still a long way before they find themselves in a good enough position to go up to the premiership for next season. Although if they carry on to play like they did before their 2 losses in a row who knows what could happen they could be playing a higher class of football next season. But at the moment that is just a dream and dreams dont always come true.

New Boss For Baggies

W.B.A have for some uknown reason decided to have a change of manager at the club. Apparently the previous manager had caused some unrest within the squad, prompting the board to appoint Aidan Connolly as their new manager.

As the new manager takes control, W.B.A are sitting in 7th position in division 1. The new manager had this to say "I'm very pleased to be in charge of W.B.A, my aim with this club is to push for promotion, add strength and depth to the squad, and eventually cement our position in the premiership. Success wont come straight away, and i know it will be hard work, but im commited to achieving our goals, and i hope the fans, and the board will back me all the way."

Connolly takes control near the half-way mark in the season, with his first fixture at home to Nottingham Forest.

Mondays Session

W.B.A 1-1 Nottm Forest
Scorers: Hughes

A hard fought match, that ended all square. W.B.A went behind on the stroke of half time, and came out with all guns blazing in the second half. eventually the pressure forced Nottm Forest to conceeded a penalty in the 88th minute, which Lee Hughes scored from, saving Aidan Connolly his first point as the new boss.

Rushden 2-4 W.B.A
Scorers: Koumas, Roberts, Hulse (2)

A good result for the baggies, even though they were expected to win. Connolly's first win with the team, as they start to climb the table.

W.B.A 2-1 West Ham
Scorers: Koumas, Hulse

Another tough match, that resulted in a win for the Baggies as they continue to climb the table.

Hull 1-4 W.B.A
Scorers: Clement, Koumas, Roberts (2)

A good result for Albion giving them 3 consecutive wins. They remain unbeaten under new manager Aidan Connolly.

W.B.A 4-1 Gillingham
Scorers: Koumas, Roberts (3)

Again a 4-1 win for Albion, whatever Connolly is doing, its working. Albion continue to climb up the division 1 table

The new boss can be delighted with the start he has made, remaining unbeaten so far.

Boing Boing.
