Hi again,

I suppose your all wondering how the night out went.

Well for starters when i picked her up she looked beautiful in her chinese style dress and little red slip on shoes.

She then asked me where we were going and i started to panic, there she was all dressed up and i was taking her to the cinema to see Police Academy. Aghhhhhhhhhhh, then i figured i had to go with it because i couldn't come up with one other idea.

We arrived at the cinema at around 9.45pm and my god was i happy when she burst out into laughter and screamed "you remembered our conversation about Police Academy". She seemed really pleased and amused at the gesture and she even gave me a little kiss on the cheek.

The film was Superb, you just can't beat an old classic like Police Academy. PROCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Afterwards we went for a stroll and chatted about all the things we want to do in life and other stuff like that. Then we ordered a cab and went back to her apartment, we had hot chocolate with whipped cream. It was great to just be able to sit and chat about anything and feel comfortable about it. Then it hit 2am. I got up and called a cab to take me home. As i went to leave she grabbed my arm turned me round and....... well the next bit is private but i did end up getting my cab home and we've said that we will see how things go. I think it's more likely that if anything is to happen then it will happen after the season is over. In the end i think the evening was a success.

Oh and she loved the kit. I knew it was still worth keeping.

Anyway todays game.
Leicester (A)

Team:
Westerveld
Mabizela-King-Upson-Kleber
Prutton
SWP-Geremi-Bierkofa
Keane-Kamara

My god this game was tough. Leicester played with 10 men behind the ball for the whole match but we still won 2-0.

The first half was a total write off because we just coudn't break Leicester down so we took off Geremi and put D'Alessandro on and that's where the game picked up for us. 61mins in we got a corner, D'Alessandro stepped up and put in a good ball which Upson nodded home. 1-0 at last.
Then 6mins later we had the game in our hands completely. Kamara beat his man on the left hand side and hit a driven pass along the box to D'Alessandro who used the outside of his foot to knock the ball home. 2-0 game over.

It was a hard game because we just didn't find enough space in the 1st half but thankfully i can call on a guy like D'Alessandro to help make things better.

After the game i received a text to tell me Man Utd had won 5-0 against Fulham. They are on a roll and i'm just praying someone will snatch a draw or win from them before the season is out.

As it stands just now we are 4 pts behind with a game in hand.
----------Played--------Points
Man Utd ----36------------81
**Spurs-----35------------77

wish us luck or them bad luck which ever you prefer.

Ipswich(H)

The last 3 games are must wins for us and thankfully we done what was needed today.

The team:
Westerveld
Mabizela-King-Upson-Kleber
Prutton
SWP-Hitzelsperger-Bierkofa
Keane-Kamara

I asked the boys for a bright start and they gave it to me. Within the first 10 mins we had 4 shots on target. Then after 17mins we were 1-0 up. Robbie Keane, he has been outstanding for me since i got here and he showed a great deal of bravery to score this goal. Bierkofa beat his man all ends up on the left and hit a curling cross into the box which Robbie through himself at and got his head onto the ball to get it home. In the process he was caught by someones boot and had a rather nasty nose bleed for a few minutes after. Robbie being Robbie soldiered on and that's what i love about him.
It took another 13mins to get that all important second. Wright-Phillips showed exactly why he won player of the month, he ran a full 35 yards down the right before cutting inside and sliding the ball to Diomansy Kamara who battered the ball in.

The half time team talk is easy when you are winning and playing well. It's just a case of saying "more of the same boys".

The 2nd half was the same. 2 more goals came and some top class skills thrown into the bargain.
Kamara sliiped the ball through his markers legs and then hit a great chipped pass to Kallon who calmly knocked the ball past the despairing goalie.
The last goal was probably the best of the lot. It came from D'Alessandro. He showed some skills taht i can't even describe to get through on goal and then score. All i know is that even the Ipswich crowd applauded him.

4-0 and 2 games to go.

Man Utd don't play until Monday the 3rd so i'm hoping this will put more pressure on them.

Lets all get behind Liverpool on Monday night.

Good Luck Liverpool

8th May 10

The last day of the season for most teams today. We still have Southampton to play on Monday before we are finished.
It doesn't really matter though.

Team:
Westerveld
Mabizela-King-Upson-Kleber
Prutton
SWP-Hitzelsperger-Bierkofa
Keane-Kamara

We went 1-0 up after 48mins when Kamara latched onto a cross from the outstanding Prutton and smashed the ball home. A t this point it was 0-0 at the stadium of light.

65mins gone i noticed our crowd had become a bit quiet, then i got a text from my mate saying:
Man Ure 1-0 up - Fletcher.

I felt a bit down but thought to myself. Ach there is 25mins left, Sunderland will get a goal.

79mins gone, Bierkofa put us 2 up after some good work by Aruna who came on for Keane.

The next thing i heard was from Charlie Nicholas running up to me at the end of the game to ask for me how i felt about not winning the title in my final year at Spurs. I didn't answer him. I gave my boys a pat on the back and told them i was proud of them.

Man Utd had won 1-0 and that was that.

I'm feeling a bit down tonight folks and i'm sorry if you are as well. I tried my best and i failed. Sorry

Hugo out

Southampton(A)

I honestly don't think i was that bothered about todays game folks. I appreciated those of you who came up and said well done at coming second and wished me well, it showed me that i done something right in my time here.

Todays team was changed a bit as i wanted to give a few guys a well deserved rest.

Team:

Westerveld
Stalteri-King-Hofland-Gardener
Guarin
Kallon-Hitzelsperger-Trochowski
Aruna-Adu

We won 2-1 with goals from Aruna and Kallon and Southamptons goal came from Avalos.

I had a quick word with Dave Jones after the game to wish him and his boys all the best in the FA Cup final against Chelsea.

Anyway i'm only here for a few more weeks folks to sort out some paperwork and other bits and bobs so i'll pop a few messages up before i go.

Thanyou all for supporting us, it's been a toatl pleasure to manage this club and i hav to thank the folks at FM for giving me the chance to vent a few frustrations and to be able to put my thoughts down sommewhere.

Cheers Folks
