Sheff Utd 4-0 Celtic

"Definitely not a 4-0 game but all good runs have to come to an end, Sheff Utds attacking power was the difference today with far better shooters than us and il be very surprised if they don't return to the prem at the first time of asking, if we can get something out of Valencia sunday il put it down as an ok week."

Valencia 0 - 3 FC Porto H_Ekitike (27) F_de_Jong (40) D_Loader (88)

Excellent win against a very decent side. We definitely deserved this win according to the stats. Going C against their A was vital I think, even though I do hate an obnoxious C but hey it worked and picked us up three points here.
This result solidifies our position and keeps us up there. It will be impossible to maintain given the minutes we have to spread out to the shitty squad players in a bid to keep them and avoid costing us a fortune to replace next season but we will do our best.
Played Me Sanchez Rose, all the best mate

Fully deserved. Well done Tim

Villarreal 1-0 Atalana

This wasn't the most exciting of games and was also a very tight affair but it was the home side who eventually came out of it victorious thanks to a goal that never looked like coming for large parts of this tie. With both sets of supporters looking rather bored it was Villarreal that brightened up the proceedings in the second period thanks to a fine diving header from midfield man Andy Rinomhoto. That goal appart this game was far from a thriller.

Sunderland 1-2 PSV

Rematch from our midweek game in Europe, and though not the high scoring abs fest of that game, an important win on the road.
Tactically we started P, then switched to C, in the opposite of the midweek game, and it was a tighter game and our more clinical finishing did the job. gg dude.
Moura had a better game in what might be his last appearance, and Faivre also found the net, with Digne having a good game at the back. Up to 4th and in the mix, which is where we want to be all season.

Eintracht Frankfurt 0 - 1 Leicester City

A tough away tie against a good side and a good manager who is in the hunt for promotion but we mixed it up today and got the gameplan correct, we shifted Dunk into DM and he put in a MOTM performance, the game was very even with both sides cancelling eah other out but we managed to retain and pass the ball about better than the hosts and Di Maria got the game winner on 27 minutes, the performance was promising from a defence point of view as i have felt we have been weak here in recent games but today we held firm and got a good result against a side also chasing promotion. The league is very tight with 6 teams 3 points behind the leaders Sheffield. GG Mate

Real Betis 1 - 2 Nottingham Forest

Betis had their main keeper out for the game and we set up to take advantage. Two goals up in the first 9 minutes and I thought we might get a nice number here but unfortunately it all then dried up. Betis even got a consolation in the 75th minute. Deserved win win as we edged the stats but with the keeper advantage we should have got a third really to make it safe. As it is, it's another three points as our climb continues.
