The Lions Manager log, day 2005 (about)
So the last season of cm4 in the Scanland well underway and i wanted to report on how things are going. And things are going quite well actually. Lying in 7th position after 20 matches and pushing for a place in Europe. Here are the latest matches played.
Premier League Matches:
H Bolton 3-0
A Leeds 1-2
A Man City 2-5
H Charlton 3-2
A Chelsea 0-3
H Ipswich 4-2
A Arsenal 1-2
H Southampton 3-1
A Coventry 3-2
H W.B.A 3-0
A Blackburn 3-0
A Man Utd 1-1
League Cup
2nd Round A Bournemouth 3-0
3rd Round H Liverpool 4-0
4th Round H Southampton 2-0
Qtr Final A Tottenham 2-1
Semi-Finals against Chelsea
So im happy with our situation in the league. We are the strongest team at home but the stepping stone of the season has been our away games. The situation is quite similar to what we had at one early point in the Nationwide. And we have had some really tightly lost games away especially in the beginning of the season. Have only 2 wins away and that 1 draw from the United game.
As to our lads on the field they have showed some spirit at times. Mark Kerr's winning goal in the 85th minute against Coventry was a real schock, Bending it from 40 yards made me cough anyway. But the two real stars of the season has been Galletti and Samba. Samba as the top scorer in the EPL has been phenomenal with 15 goals or so and Galletti is the top assist man in the league with Samba also being up there as 3rd.
We have actually scored the most goals in the league wich is surprising but our defence has been cought numerous times at away matches which has damped our season a bit. With Zenoni on the right from Juve and Lee Buxton from Portsmouth as the new boys in defence, the defence has needed some time to gel for away matches.
If only we would play another season after this cause i suspect our current team could easily push for a CL place and with a little bit of luck even for the title. The class is there and the young players are developing really well. But that will remain as a mystery.
Here's the table after 20 matches:

Some way to go yet but the top 3 are the ones who are gonna fight for the title. GO OJ, with that squad it should be a piece of cake.
Me and my Lion boys shall continue to push for a place in europe and possibly win the league cup or the FA cup, would be really nice.
