Huge game tonight. With Arsenal and City having the Cup final on Tuesday - presumably meaning they'll be rotating on Sunday and Thursday - an unlikely win should mean the title is pretty much wrapped up. Forest are on a 10-game winning run though. As long as I can somehow avoid defeat (unlikely) it'll be a good result.

If Forest win tonight, they'll win the league.

Wow! 3:0 win vs Forest. 10 points clear of 2nd and can now rotate a bit more in my final games.

De Gea (94)

Aurier (91) Ramos (95) Boateng (94)⚽ Roberto (91)
Pogba (93) Isco (92)⚽
Götze (92)Griezmann (95)➕ Bale (95)➕➕
Messi (99)⚽⭐

Subs: Bernardo (90), Sterling (91), Eriksen (92), Matip (90), Goretzka (90), Brandt (90), Dele (91)
Did not travel: Monreal (90), Martial (90)

Key:
⚽ = Goal
➕ = Assist
⭐ = MOTM
= Subbed off
= Subbed on


You've put up a good fight, TT. Still chance you could win the league but would need to go on a perfect run.

Beat City :eek:

3 starters in defense out for a couple games, though (which brings it to 4 in defense out..) :lol:

Good luck.

I'll be facing three of your top four rivals before the end of the season - Chelsea, City and Newcastle - but with my records against them don't get your hopes up.
Thanks.

Will be cheering for you :D

3:0 win vs Schalke. Good job as Bale and Isco will miss the second leg.

Sorry lads but I don't have time for this currently as I'm back up to 80+ hours a week after converting cafe into a bakery, deli cafe. Loads of hard work for at least a few months until I get staff trained.

Interesting deal. Guess Icardi and Kane not being that versatile in terms of positions meant replacing Icardi with Morara will be useful in terms of tactical flexibility.

Yeah, pretty much. I want to move Kane upfront so the swap let's me do that + gives me the tactical flexibility in terms of formations as you said.

Yeah, sorry didn't see your post. We've had quite a clubs start from the bottom - Darlington, Southend, Hereford and Kidderminster come to mind. It's a tough challenge as you're on a tight budget but rewarding finding talent and growing your side.
