Sunderland vs Reading

A very good start Higginbotham set the ball rolling with a headed goal in the 8th min 1-0 at half time

Kenwyne Jones then scores in the 67th min

Shane long sets up a last mins panic with a goal in the 83rd min but then in the last min Ross seals the game with a goal

so 3-1 in my first game i'm 18th and still 2 points behind

West Ham vs Sunderland

Kenwyne Jones scores in the 24th min and I think I have a chance but just 10 min later Ashton scores to bring the team level again but just before half time Kenwyne Jones nets another so 2-1 half time

2nd half is looking good harly any chances for them but then 70 min and Bellamy scores 2-2 the goal did look offside could this make me go down ?

I now need something vs Man U but not just something I need a win :O Bolton are 2 points ahead and so are newcastle but they have a game in hand as well not looking good

Man United vs Sunderland

Just before the game Craig Gordon rallies the troops and calls on the players like ther lifes depended on it and sure they did

A very good start and within 7 min we were winning Ross scores a peach of a goal 25mins come up and Kenwyne Jones get injured and has to go off I main striker since I been to the club has go off so on comes Prica

31th min and Hubschman score and makes it 2-0 I can't belive we still had time to get 5 :D

not much happen rest of the game but Man United began to get a foot hold but it was too late final score 2-0 but I still need to relay on other results

Here is the match

Seems a good idea! How regularly do you think you'll be posting new challenges to this thread?

Anyway here is my shot at keeping Scumderland up...

Firstly i selected what would be my best starting eleven and tried to stick to that with my favoured diamond midfield formation.

The first game ran as clockwork, we won 2-0 goals coming from Jones and Prica. With that win it lifted us out of the relegation zone to 17th. Goal difference putting us above Fulham and three points behind Newcastle in 16th. Win v Reading

Then came West Ham lying 8th. We lost 2-1. Our consolation goal coming from the centre half Nunes. With Fulham drawing with Newcastle that left us one point behind the Cottagers and one above 19th placed Wigan. We had it all to do versus Man Utd and we needed that Fulham loss to Portsmouth. Loss v West Ham

We went to Old Trafford with a full squad but morale was rubbish. I told the players to do it for the fans, we only needed the draw as long as Fulham lost, as our -14 goal difference was superior to their -15. Fulham did lose, we did draw. We were saved. Ahem i mean Sunderland were saved. Yer Right.

We lost 3-0 to Man Utd even though Fulham did draw. Inevitable loss v Man Utd

Final League Table

No points gained in this challenge but hopefully i can gain some in the next challenge.

What do you mean by this? Marlon James started on 22 goals? Does another striker in the team have to score more than 22 goals to achieve this goal?

2-0 up against West Ham and absolutley flying. Then I think a bomb went off and all my players went into hiding. We ended up losing 3-2. Luckily Fulham lost as well so its all going down to the last game and yippee we've got Man Utd :(
