Inevitable loss to Chelsea. Valdes having another stinker. Still well in contention for top 10 though.

this year is my year on SM
If I can pull off the win against City it will make for an interesting final few games for the 4th spot.

Higuain rose to 95, bit weird that. Disappointed that I missed out on ginter to west ham who later quit.
:lol: That is ridiculous.

Tonight I'm away to QPR. A must win game if I'm to have any hope of the title, and if I win it, a top 4 place will be almost secure. I've got a feeling it'll be another game where I drop points though - lost 1-0 to them at home.

Yes! Won 1-0 and Chelsea drew their game so I'm top on goal difference. Robin van Persie is out for three days with an injury though so might miss the next game depending on what his fitness is like.

Proper management from me there, brought Van Wolfswinkel on as a sub in the 75th minute and he goes and get's the equalizer in the 87th. 3-3 with Chelsea away, i'll take that shit.

The teams on 55 points failed to win so I'm definitely going to finish in the top four.

Well done Skeld, hopefully TheReligion gets a result on Sunday.

Was expecting him to drop really. Finally ended my losing streak with a win over arsenal. :D

2-2 with Blackburn. Stats look like I should have nicked it. Doing better in the Elite League.

The Real Madrid loving on soccermanager is pathetic. Higuain, Pepe and Di Maria all up by 1... why exactly?
It looks like Higuain and di Maria's ratings have been reset back to what they were before the change. Di Maria still has his rating change listed on the rating tab, but on the left side it says he's a 93 and not a 94.

Very important draw last game vs Pool. Couldnt afford to lose and didnt. Very very close still and I've got tough games to play. Will be a fantastic run in. The last game vs Sunderland will be fecking crucial.

Looks like maniak has quit. Anyone who would like the Arsenal job, please pm me. Thanks. Will give it a few days and if there are multiple applicants, we'll have some sort of poll to decide who gets it.

Arsenal have a nice platform to start from. Decent starting lineup, prob need a bit of strengthening for the future and swap out a few oldies who wont rise. I presume they have a bit of cash as he didnt appear to go full muppet in quite awhile.

Problem at Arsenal is they could miss out on the Champions Cup place as it is pretty close up there, plus, if you want to take over at the start of next season and others agree with you taking over, then in that time frame people could end up raiding Arsenal for their best players as there is nothing preventing that happening.

So far three people have registered interest in the job. If anyone else wants it, they have until Wednesday 8pm game time to register interest, after which time those interested will have 24 hours to send me something saying why they should get it and I'll open a poll thread running from Thursday to Friday and whoever gets most votes gets the position.

Just looked at Arsenal's finances and they have £11.8M to spend.
