  1. March Incredible month, just the sort of momentum we need going into April. Injuries keep coming as we're without Becerra against Newcastle, Tapia will have a chance to strut his stuff. We take the lead after just 6 minutes as Hubana heads in Livramento's cross. That's lovely, we pass well, being patient, Livramento plays it Hubana, it's saved and Hojlund hits in the rebound after 27 minutes. It's Hojlund again as we go 3 - 0 up after 63 minutes. Boxall palys it low, Hubana doesn't connect with the ball but Hojlund is there to hit in at the back post. Subs combine after 75 minutes as Julio hits in a low cross and Pitchford finishes. It's 5 after 90 minutes. Stenbring on a sub scores his first senior goal as he heads in Boxalls corner. That was a superb performance, especially in the 2nd half. Lele starts against Aston Villa, he's been really good since returning from his loan and I'm trying Yoro in the middle and Dekker at RCB. Oof that's a rocket from Juliao to give us the lead, Neves hits in the corner, it's headed out, Tapia plays it to Juliao and he smashes it. We win a penalty after 17 minutes and Hubana smashes it in, 0 - 2 already. That's a brilliant goal from Villa, Mensah steals the ball, plays it to Hyeon-Gyu, he turns with the ball at his feet and absolutely smashes it in after 35 minutes. Is that another penalty!? It is! Hubana again and he hits it in the opposite corner to make it 1 - 3 after 39 minutes. It's sloppy from both sides but Hubana picks up the ball, he's tackled, Flores intercepts and makes it 1 - 4 after 85 minutes. Brilliant win. We take the lead against Everton after 32 minutes, some good passing and the move is finishing off after Hubana strikes Juliao's through ball first time into the back of the net. It's 2 - 0 and that should be game after 89 minutes, Christensen cuts in the left and finishes well with his weaker foot. That was very one sided, Everton had 1 shot, 0 on target. We had 26, 10 on target. 7 points clear and it's a gap we need. FA Cup Not the best win but a win is a win. A difficult draw but we'll try our best. Champions League We were brilliant, our defense was solid. Foden did get a goal against us but it was a huge deflection. Real are the most difficult draw, City I reckon are 2nd, it's going to be a tough ask but we can beat them. We need to get revenge on our league loss aswell. Youth intake That's 3 CM's in 4 years . He looks decent, very random name! Same first and last name! In future years he'll be put in Joao Neves' mentoring group. He's only been here 3 months and he's already given a boost to Biffi and Peng. Top 50 Wonderkids We have 2nd that cost me £5.5mil and has improved alot and then the other 3 are all through our academy which is great to see. And MacDonald, the Rotherham fan. Next Month This is why I kept mentioning April . It's an insanely difficult month, we have to beat the best to be the best though, hoping we can progress in the cups. Basically everyone is back from injury, Miley is out again but I have enough cover at CM and he isn't a starter anymore. Just do our best.
  2. February Our first loss of the season and it knocks us off the top spot. Good win against Spurs though. We've had alot of injuries this month so I'm happy with the results we've got. We're without Miley, Juliao, Boxall and Phillips in midfield against Spurs. Juliao and Phillips are my main starters so we're without two key players. It's some terrible defending from us, it starts from a bad pass from Yoro, we don't clear out lines properly, Gamal gets beat in the air, Pedrola knocks it to Gnoto and he has so much time and space to hit it in after 12 minutes. It's 1 - 1 after 27 minutes, we've had all the chances and we've finally put one away, Yoro hits a ball over, Neves plays it across the box and Hojlund hits in. Livramento on his return from injury puts us 2 - 1 up after 65 minutes, good passing from The Millers, Christensen plays it out, Livramento cuts in and has alot of space to hit in. Christsen makes it 3 after 69 minutes. Kimble intercepts the ball, plays it to Biffi, he plays it to Christensen who hits a 20 yard strike and it's in off the post. A good win, Spurs only managed 2 shots all game with the second coming in added time, I thought it was going to be one of those days to start with! We still have alot of midfielders out but Boxall returns and makes the bench, Tremble is now out in defense, it'll be a tough game away at Manchester City. It's too easy for City, a poor pass from Gamal and City counter, we're not getting a foot in, Adeyemi hits it across goal and Haaland hits in after 14 minutes, very poor defending from The Millers. It's a defender who equalies after 17 minutes though, Bitshiabu heads in Christensens freekick. It's 2 - 1 to City, good passing and Musiala drives into the box and smashes into the net after 36 minutes. I had to try and go for it and it's poor at the back again and City make it 3 - 1 after 84 minutes. Kone recieves a freekick, plays it into the box and it's like Dekker pulls out of the challenge and Kuzmanovic hits in, turns out it was an error from Bitshiabu. City deserved their win, we didn't show up today and they were clinical. We have some players back for the Fulham game but they need fitness! Even though we're away we should be winning this. We've had so many chances and we finally take the lead after in the 4th minute, Neves plays in Hubana, his first shot hits the post but he follows up and hits into the net. Hubana doubles after 63 minutes, Neves crosses, Fulham head out, Neves heads down to Lele, he plays it to Hubana who hits in. A match we dominated. Carabao Cup See above post. FA Cup A good solid win. A match we should win, even away, we're a better team than Everton. Champions League 3rd row in a row we've drawn Barcelona, 2031 was in the last 16 like now and last year in the quarters. It was written to draw Barcelona though as that is where Foden plays. Next Month We need a good month as April is looking like hard mode.
  3. Carabao Cup Final We're won 3 Carabao Cups in a row, winning 4 out of 6 finals and we have a good chance of making it 4 in a row. The line ups: Juliao, Tremble and Livramento miss out through injury and Neves is cup tied. Sesko is out for Brighton though and that's good for us. Miey and Boxall aren't fully fit but they're a good pairing together and especially with Phillips who's returned from injury. First half. Brighton kick off. 10th minute: It's 1 - 0 to Rotherham! Hojlund hits a freekick up to Hubana, he holds and plays it back to Hojlund who takes it into the box and hits it. Peretz gets a hand to it but it goes in, poor defending from Brighton, we'll take that! 15th minute: Hubana plays Hojlund through and it's a brilliant save to deny. We have a corner, Miley hits in and another brilliant save to this time deny Hubana. 18th minute: It's 2 - 0 to The Millers. Lele dribbles down the right, plays it to Boxall, he hits it into the net, it evades Hubana, Struurwold clears it but he kicks it straight where Miley can head it into an empty net. 36th minute: We have a penalty shout and it's given, that was so poor . Hojlund crossed, no one was there to get close, Brighton head away, Hubana picks it up, 3 defenders vs him and the first defender hacks him down. Hubana steps up and finally puts a penalty into the net!!! 3 - 0 after 37 minutes! 45th minute: CB Yoro makes a brilliant run but his effort is way over, he did everything else right. Becerra and Dekker both have knocks, Dekker is staying on for now but Tapia is replacing Becerra at half time. Second half. Rotherham kick off. 65th minute: Boxall tries a long drive but it's over. 70th minute: Bitshiabu and Dekker have knocks so Stenbring and Kimble are replacing. Biffi and Christensen are replacing Boxall and Miley as they're only just back from injury and aren't 100% fit. 75th minute: Phillips tries a long shot and it's only just wide. 4 in a row.
  4. January An absolutely brilliant month, our defense has been rock solid. I've had to rotate against Brighton, we've got some tired players, but we're at home and we should be okay. It's been a quiet game so far but we go ahead in the 53rd minute after Miley heads in Tapia's cross. A solid 1 - 0 win. Hubana is back to his scoring ways as he puts us ahead against Norwich. Becerra plays it to Hojlund and he shoots from a tight angle, Ansen doesn't hold his save and Hubana hits in the loose ball after 38 minutes. Hubana doubled after 82 minutes heading in Gamals corner, which I'm very happy about as I made all my subs and then a minute later Livramento went off injured so we're down to 10. Another solid win. Neves makes his debut at home to Nottingham Forest. That has to be some of the worst defending I've ever seen on FM, Forest keep making mistakes and getting away with it, this time they don't, Hubana flicks on and Hojlund heads in after 15 minutes, that was so poor! Hubana doubles after 27 minutes, heading in Neves' corner. Forest are down to 10 after 65 minutes after Darr two foots Christensen. Gamal playing at RWB makes it 3 after a clever one two with Hubana, he then curls a lovely shot with his weak foot after 68 minutes. Yoro makes it 4 after 70 minutes, heading in Christensens freekick. A big mistake from Forest, Masons pass is intercepted by Christensen, he plays it to Hubana who hits in first time after 79 minutes. Hubana already on a 10 rating then heads in for his hat-trick, heading in Christensens corner after 86 minutes. Christensen then scores himself after a great low cross from Neves, Christensen hits first time to make it 7 after 87 minutes. What a game, we had 40 shots, 17 on target with an xG of 4.78, they had 0 :D. We take an early lead againt Leicester. Lele back from his loan spell plays it to Neves, it's a smart pass to Hubana who's just onside and he slots in after 3 minutes. We double after 9 minutes, Lele sends in a low cross, Neves dummys it, Hubana goes down from and the ball evades him and the defender and Hojlund is free to hit in. Oh that's wonderful, 3 - 0 after 26 minutes after Hubana hits in a 30 yard freekick. Hojlund makes it 4 after 40 minutes, Lele again causing problems down the right, he crosses low, Hubana looks like he's fouled but it doesn't matter as Hojlund hits in. It's 5 after 43 minutes, Bitshiabu heads in Mileys corner. We dominated Leciester, such a good win. We're still undefeated with 14 to go, players are back in form and Neves has fit into the squad like a glove. Carabao Cup We should have scored more, look at that xG . We absolutely battered them. We've broke our own records doing so aswell. FA Cup A solid win away at Elland Road and we got a nice draw afterwards. We were brilliant. Next we play our affiliate club. Another easy fixture for us. Champions League We were amazing, absolutely brilliant for 90 minutes. Their goal came from Robledo rushing out and being beat/not kicking it, it's hard to tell by the animiation but yeah, that's a fantastic result. Deadline Day I managed to win the battle to sign Joao Neves and he's been brilliant so far. It's an absolute steal for the price. He's assisted 4 in 6 so far and he'll be a good tutor for my youth. Proper happy with this one. We were hit by this I'm not shocked, my budget is always a bit wild considering the money coming into the club is by selling players and winning competitions. We have 70k fans waiting for a season ticket but they won't build a new stadium. Inter had already bid silly money for Brown, he's been a favourite of mine this save and he's a fan favourite but I couldn't turn down £48mil for my backup LWB when I have a youth player in Tapia who can move over to the left side and I've brought Lele back from loan to fill in at RWB. Our finances aren't great but I don't need a big summer, I have some players I can sell but it's all down to the stadium. We make 18mil a year from season tickets when we could be making a 100mil a year atleast. Due to our incredible success we're the second biggest team in the world and could have 98k season ticket holders but we're happy to sit at 18k, it's crazy. And with success you need good players, so our wage budget isn't low anymore. We're looking good to atleast win the league so we'll bring money in that way but we can't move on to elite level without a new stadium. West Ham really are a crackin' team. They're as good as Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea, if not better. Next Month Some tough league games that hopefully we won't lose and then cup games we should really win.
  5. December Spells of when I expect Rotherham to play as and some poor spells. We drew against Hull and Leeds with them both just registering one shot on target each and Leeds' was a pen, it was very frustrating to watch us be so wasteful. Hubana is in such poor form, he's also causing me to yell 'cause he's missed 3 pens in a row . So many tired players against Liverpool I've had to rotate heavily, thankfully we're at home. It took 9 minutes for us to take the lead, good passing downt he left, Brown finds Hojlund, to Miley who feeds a ball through to Boxall, no Liverpool players even attempt to track or win it and Boxall has all the time in the world to hit in. It's 2, Hojlund intercepts Seghirs poor pass and hits in after 33 minutes. It took 85 minutes for Liverpool to have a shot and they didn't manage to have a shot on target all game. Very good win. He loves a goal! Brilliant passing round the box following a corner from The Millers, Yoro passes to Tapia, he gets it on his stronger foot and hits a brilliant shot into the far top corner after 12 minutes against Chelsea. Gallagher equalises after 21 minutes, Davidson throws in, Gomes hits it to Gallagher, he has far too much space to run into and hit past Robledo. Scorer turns into creator, it's played down the right to Tapia, he dribbles and plays it back across goal to Juliao who hits in after 33 minutes. It's the same again but for Chelsea, Duranville dribbles down the right after a good counter, plays into the box and Gomes equalises after 83 minutes. We should have probably won that game, I brought Dekker on and his poor pass lead to that counter. That's a lovely goal from Hojlund to give us the lead against Sunderland. Boxall plays him the ball but he's still way out, he dribbles past two Sunderland defenders and slots low past the 'keeper after 39 minutes. Livramento dribbles into the box and hits in on his weaker foot to make it 2 - 0 after 42 minutes. Hubana heads his goal drought after heading in Becerras cross after 52 minutes. We played some fantastic football today, easily could of had more goals but buzzing with a 3 - 0 win. It's a brilliant attacking move from The Millers, Juliao pulls it back to Hojlund who gives us the lead after 15 minutes. Hull equalise after 28 minutes, it's an incredible pass from Steijn who finds Belloumi onside to hit in. It's a penalty to the Millers, Boxall hits in the corner and Hubana is fouled, he steps up AND HE'S MISSED 3 IN A ROW NOW WHATS HE'S DOING ! I think Hubana needs to be dropped. That's a bad draw, they've had 1 shot and we've drawn. Within the first minute Leeds were awarded a penalty after Becerra went in too hard and Bertug smashed it past Robeldo, that's how you take a pen Hubana! We finally equalise in the 86th minute after Flores' pokes home Kimbles low cross. We've been dire infront of goal, we've had so many chances. Hojlund could of had a hat-trick. Another draw to a team that had one shot on target, a pen. We really need to do better infront of goal, we're creating enough chances. Good passing from The Millers and Boxall finishes off the move by hitting past Kelleher after 9 minutes to give us the lead against Southampton. What is it with my strikers, Juliao hits a wonderful ball over, Kelleher comes and Pitchford hits it to Hillsbrough. It's 2 after 19 minutes, Yoro heading in Boxalls corner. It's 3 after 22! We hit in a corner and it's cleared to Juliao, he hits over to Livramento who dribbles into the box and hits in. Southampton pull one back after 65 minutes, good attacking down the left, Lees hits it across goal and Vink hits in. It's 3 - 2 after 76 minutes, Bitshiabu makes a big mistake to give Southampton a chance, Bindon hits across goal, Yoro blocks off one attacker but Devine is free to hit in. It's a penalty to the Millers, Flores steps up.. and we've missed 4 prem penaltys in a row. It's 4 - 2 though, good passing and Juliao plays it through to Pitchford, he takes it and hits in after 80 minutes. It's a good win but can we please score a penalty in the league! Now it's a proper test, West Ham are a brilliant team and I don't think we're playing well. We've won another pen after Boxall is fouled in the box! Hojlund steps up.. and we've scored one!!! We're ahead after 7 minutes. West Ham equalise after 11, Ferreira with a quality chipped ball finds Kudus who hits in. It's 1 - 2 to the Millers! Boxall hits in a corner, Dekker flicks on and Bitshiabu heads in after 19 minutes. It's a red card.. to West Ham! Kudus with a shocking two footed lunge on Pitchford and West Ham are down to 10. It's 1 - 3 to the Millers. Hojlund heading in Livramento's cross after Lima came out and misjudged the flight of the ball. Becerra makes it 4 after 47 minutes, good passing, Boxall plays it out left and Becerra blasts its past Lima. It's 5 and Hojlund has his hat-trick! Gamal plays a ball through, he's just on and he slots in after 81 minutes. That's so much better, such a good win. Don't get me wrong, we're still at the summit, undefeated with a gap now but it could have been so much more comfortable but that's football. Champions League Good win after going down. Carabao Cup A deserved win but we didn't make it easy for ourselves. We should be able to get into the final, we should be able to win it again tbh. Youth intake It has potential! Player Trait This is the first time i've seen this, he was already able to play RB and he's been playing RWB for me to cover Livramento and has been doing well, he was unhappy a few games back for being played in a role he's not suitable for, which he is and then a few in game days back that popped up and it looks like he's the player I always though he was. New Player I bought Hu Peng last January for £8.5mil and I'd hope he'd kick on, he's only young, just turned 18. He's got a bad injury though and I hope it doesn't effect him too much. He was 5* when I sent scouts to look at him so he's dropped, he could become a good rotation option if we can get him kicking on and improve his physical stats. Next Month Alot of games, we should be able to win alot of them, Brighton might give us a problem and Atletico are always a hard team but we're at home and really should be winning. I have alot of wanted players, I'm not looking to sell unless good money comes in. I am looking at MC though because he's out of contract in the summer at 27/28 and his current value is way below what he's actually worth.
  6. November I'll take a home win and two away draws. I've swapped Dekker and Yoro at DCR and CB to see how they play, it worked for Vivian. We've got another penalty!? No! The ref went to VAR and it's no pen! What a dross first half against Newcastle, we have to do better. We didn't do better, what a terrible game of football. Ramsdale is injured so it's time to see if Robeldo can step up, he just won MOTM for Chile with a 9.0 rating so he's in good form. Hubana and Hojlund aren't firing at the moment so Pitchford and Flores get the nod against Arsenal. It's Yoro who gives us the lead after 52 minutes, Miley swings in the corner, Dekker heads it and Tobiasz saves. Yoro is there to hit in the rebound. Miley with a brilliant ball sets up Hubana in the 96th minute to seal the victory. That was a solid win, the back 3 and Robledo were really impressive. It's not good enough and Man Utd go ahead, we don't clear the corner well, Urgana dribbles into the box, plays it across and Kroupi hits in even with Becerra and Dekker both marking him after 33 minutes. Surely that one is a pen!? Yep! Guehi took down Julio! Can we equalise from the spot!? Nope, Hubana has missed 2 in a row now! It's a 93rd minute equaliser! "Get it to Flores" tactic had to be played, Kimble does well down the right, plays it across the box and it finds Pitchford at the back post to hit in! That was deserved, we were the better side. Draws and Hubana and Hojlund not in form has seen us drop into the pack. Champions League Very good win, wasn't expecting that. Finishing was the difference, Real are just too good. FA Cup Draw Leeds again, gotta win this one! Internatioanl Debuts Both players are out on loan, neither are giving on though, they have so much potential but I don't think either will hit the heights. Best 50 Players We have #42 in Dekker. Next Month So many games, we have depth to cover it but we've just played Arsenal, Real and Man Utd now we have Liverpool and Chelsea! Suppose we have to beat the best to beat Citys record points! We have some good games though and we should see a good month and hopefully make a gap at the summit.
  7. October Good enough month but we need to improve infront of goal. Livramento returned from injury and is injured again so Kimble will be playing RWB against City, he's done alright so far there this season. Haaland gives City the lead after just 3 minutes after a through ball from Adeyemi, Dekker didn't commit enough to close Adeyemi down and Bitshiabu should have not been playing him on. In the 24th we equalise and it's different. Becerra crosses in, Boxall hits in and it's great anticipiation from Hubana to be able to head it in. It's 2 - 1 to the Millers after 29 minutes, good passing, Juliao hits it and Brits with a very poor save palms it into his own net. It's 2 - 2, Gomes hits low into the box and 260mil MC Adams hits in for City after 43 minutes. It's full time, a very even game. It's Rotherham who take the lead against Everton after 19 minutes, good counter attack, Juliao plays through Boxall who hits in. Boxall somehow has an assist and it's 2 - 0 after 28 minutes. Boxall hit low across the box, Fernandez even mishit it or saved Hubanas poked shot and Hojlund hit in the rebound but Boxall will take an assist. Is Hubana fouled in the box? He is, it's a pen! Hubana takes and it's saved. Our xG shows we really should have scored more but it's still a good victory. Well the first half against Fulham was terrible, we had 73% possession but only 4 shots, 1 on target. Well that was not something I'd thought I'd see, we took the lead after 63 minutes we Juliao, my 5'5 CM with 4 jumping reach won the ball in the air and headed in. We were defensively brilliant, sadly we were poor infront of goal, we had so many chances! It's crazy to see Samson there! He's a player I bought in 2026/2027 and sold 2 years later I sold to Swansea for 20mil, a year after he's moved to Sunderland for 38.5mil and 4 seasons later he's now in the Prem with them and doing well! Scored 7 in 10! He's done well at RWB. Champions League After 5 I wanted more goals so I went very attacking, it might have been a mistake . Still, we won. Carabao Cup Miley and Biffi were poor, I had to make subs to make an impact. Good win in the end, I guess. We know we can beat Villa. Rookie of the Year Considering some of the elite names that have won this award in recent years, we have some very very good players in our team. Player Development Next Month That's a big month, a very difficult Champions League game against Real with Arsenal and Man Utd either side, if I managed 5 points in the league I'd be very happy. We're not as good as last season so far but new players need time to gel.
  8. September Crackin' month, the Spurs game was an absolute classic. It's Leeds who take the lead after 15 minutesm Revivo hits in a deep cross and Betrug heads in past Ramsdale, our defense weren't the best there. We equalise in the 38th minute, i've gone more direct and Kimble hits a long ball into space that Hubana collects and hits in. We take the lead in the 44th minute, Juliao loses out in the Leeds box, Skipp clears but it's poor and Boxall just unleashes a volley past Vandevoort, that's a cracking finish. It's 2 - 2, Yoro is pressed and loses the ball, Leeds counter and Bertug scors his brace after 47 minutes. We take the lead back in the 78th minute, Kimble wins the ball back, plays it to Boxall who plays a lovely ball over to Pitchford who still has work to do, he dribbles through and hits in after 78 minutes. We were brilliant in attack but we were a bit too open at the back, hoping it's a blip and new players getting used to each other. We take the lead against Leicester after 25 minutes. It's good passing from The Millers, Dekker finds Boxall in space, he turns and hits in to give us the lead. Becerra doubles, after a wonderstrike vs Milan, he's just hit another great strike after 33 minutes. It's 3 after 62 minutes, Kimble plays to Hubana but he's tackled, Miley picks up the ball, plays through to Boxall who hits in. Biffi was close twice to getting his first Rotherham goal but he's hit the woodwork both times! It's 4 in the 95th minutes, Flores shoots, it's blocked, Boxall picks up the ball, plays it back, Flores dribbles pasts two and hits past the goalkeeper. We were fantastic today, so much better then we have been. We take an early lead against Spurs. Juliao intercepts van de Vens poor pass, breaks into the box and plays it across goal where Hubana hits in after 7 minutes. Paez equalises for Sprus with a well hit freekick from the edge of the box after 33 minutes. We take the lead back after 44 minutes with a brilliant counter, Kimble hits a brilliant ball over to Brown who's replaced the injured Becerra, he plays it across the box and Hojlund hits in. I'm so glad I kept him, it's 1 - 3 to Rotherham, good passing, Bitshiabu finds Brown out left, he dribbles into the box and hits in after 81 minutes. Just two minutes later Brown hit in a freekick that Yoro headed in for his first Rotherham goal, Brown has been amazing. It's 5! Good passing, Miley waits and plays a smart ball through to Hojlund who hits in after 85 minutes. There's a penalty and it's to Spurs! Yoro loses the ball, Spurs counter, it's hit in the box and Bitshiabu goes in too heavy, Kuluvevski hits in to make it 2 - 5 after 92 minutes. It's 3 - 5! Spurs throw in, Harwood-Bellis crosses in and Kjaegaard heads in after 94 minutes! It's 3 - 6! Kimble throws in, Pitchford plays it into the box, Spurs defender Yin totally misses it and Miley has a free ball to hit into a pretty much open net. What an insane 15 minutes! 6 goals in 15 minutes!!! Boxall showing me why I was right to sell Foden and give him more starts. Carabao Cup Semes I forgot to take a screenshot. I started with too many youth players and we were terrible, Tremble made a huge mistake and Hartel punished us. I made my subs on the 59th minute mark and we were fantastic, I did bring on Juliao, Boxall, Hubana and Hojlund who are basically key players. I can play some youth this time, better draw for it . Champions League Poor game in reality but we'll take a point. Pitchford was immense, his first girl was a brilliant strike. New Contract I didn't know when my current contract expired, they asked if I wanted an extension and i'm here for a few more years yet! Next Month It should be a straight forward month if we can keep Haaland quiet, he's been brilliant so far this season.
  9. Deadline Day #2 I had to keep Brown, selling my backup LB who's been been brilliant for me for years, he comes off the bench alot and he's HG. The only other movement was loaning out a youth player. He's been touted as the next Ronaldinho and now it's the next Vinicius Junior even though Moreira lacks pace. I'm happy with the squad, we're in a good place, finances are in a good place. We were close to the quadruple last year, let's see if we can win it this year.
  10. August Exactly the sort of month I expected. We start the season at home to Norwich, the same opening fixture as last season which we won 4 -1, can we do it again? Miley put us ahead after 7 minutes, Livramento crosses in, Bijol beats Hojlund in the air but his header lands to Miley in the box who has time to control and smash it in. Livramento doubles after a good team goal, Phillips plays it to him outwide, he dribbles into the box and hits is past the 'keeper after 22 minutes. Alot of shots, no more goals, Ansen in net finished with a 7.9 rating for Norwich and yeah, good win. Brilliant football from the Millers, some lovely passing, Becerra plays it across goal and Hojlund gets in to put us 1 - 0 ahead after 20 minutes. It's 2, the same sort of goal but this time Livramento plays it back across and it's Boxall who scores after 32 minutes. It's 3 after 65 minutes, good passing down the middle this time, Hubana played in Hojlund who finishes well. Brighton pull one back after 76 minutes, good dribbling from Media as he cuts into the box, he plays it to Karabec who smashes it off the bar and in. It's red after 87 minutes, Miley lost the ball and then decided to two foot the player, we're down to 10. A good win but that was terrible from Miley! It's the same duo linking up again to give us the lead against Villa. Livramento plays a ball into the box that finds Boxall who hits in after 7 minutes. A brilliant counter from the Millers, Juliao dribbles up the pitch, plays it to Hubana who takes it on and hits in after 26 minutes. Dekker just scored his first Rotherham goal after 41 minutes, heading in Hubanas freekick. Pitchford has come off the bench to make it 4, brilliant by Livramento, he played it to Juliao who passes it across goal where Pitchford is waiting to pass into the net. Kimble has come off the bench to score his first ever Rotherham goal! He heads in Flores' corner after 80 minutes. What a win! Aston Villa didn't have a shot on target! Forest have been battered twice already this season so I feel comfortable rotating my side, giving some squad/youth players some first team. Livramento is out for 3/4 weeks so Kimble will get his chance at RWB. We've had chances but we finally put one in after 36 minutes as Brown heads in Biffi's freekick. Hubana has come off the bench to give us a 2 - 0 lead, heading in another sub Boxall's corner. It's Tapia again! He's a youth player who will be getting more game time this season, he's not played many games for us but I reckon he's got a goal every 2 games for us, from RWB! He's there to hit in a good shot finish off a good move as Brown lays him off after 95 minutes. We're at the summit but we had an easy month. All Millers . Community Shield Carabao Cup Draw Champions League Draw That's some difficult fixtures! Hopefully we can do better this season in the "group stage". Deadline Day It's landed on an awful day, we're about to face West Ham in the cup on deadline day when things are still happening. We've had movement though. Foden was amazing, he was an unreal player but at 32 and 400k a week, I wanted to let him move on. I didn' t want his value to drop with age or even worse, lose him on a free. For 16mil, I've brought in Christensen to play backup MCL. This is probably is as there's 3 hours left and we're about to kick off against West Ham but Inter have bid 40mil for Archie Brown, I don't want him to go but that's alot of money. Next Month Much harder games but we're up for it.
  11. Community Shield We've played 5 and won 5. I don't see why we can't make it 6 as we battered Chelsea in the FA Cup final. The line ups: I'm starting Robledo here instead of Ramsdale, he did okay in the Copa America and I need to give him more match experience. Chelsea kick off the first half. 3rd minute: Dekker picks up the ball, dribbles half the pitch but his shot is at the goalkeeper. Unlucky! 19th minute: Good attacking down the left, Foden plays through Hojlund who's just onside and he hits past Ronning. 25th minute: Foden swings in a freekick and Bitshiabu heads just over. 26th minute: Chelsea love making a mistake against us. Ronning plays a ball out to Badiashile, he dwells on it and Hubana intercepts his pass and hits into the net. 37th minute: Good passing from Chelsea, Gallagher finds Ferguson who hits past Roledo to make it 2 - 1. The Millers kick off the second half. 52nd minute: Oh what a ball from Foden, he curls a ball over to find Hojlund who chests it down and hits past Ronning to make it 3 - 1. 56th minute: Vellidis crosses in the ball but Robledo takes, we're attacking well, but our attack comes to an end as Hojlund is offside. 58th minute: Good passing from the Milllers, Hojlund unleashes a low drive but Ronning saves for a corner. Boxall hits in, it's cleared, Foden back to Boxall but he's offside. 62nd minute: Chelsea have a corner, it's swung in and cleared, they attack again and Robledo makes a brilliant save down by his near post. It's another Chelsea corner, Dekker heads clear. 66th minute: Tremble is replacing Bitshiabu, Biffi is replacing Boxall for his debut and Gamal is replacing Phillips. 74th minute: Kimble is replacing Livramento, Pitchford for Hubana and Brown for Becerra. 78th minute: Biffi plays it out to Kimble, he dribbles down and crosses but Ronning collects. He kicks out but we win it, Biffi is everywhere! He wins it from Caicedo, plays in Hojlund and it's 4 - 1! That was brilliant from Biffi! 84th minute: Biffi wins it again, Foden plays through Pitchford but Ronning makes a big save. It's a corner, Gamal hits in and it's cleared, we still have it and Brown smashes it but it's the post! 93rd minute: That's poor from Chelsea, Brown takes the ball, Hojlund hits it over to Pitchford who smashes in but he's just offside, still 4 - 1. 6 in a row. Oh this is a bad record! They've lost 12 community shield finals in a row!
  12. Season 10 2032/2033 As always, my assistant played my friendly matches, with some very different teams at points as I had players away at the European Champions that also needed to be sent on holiday when they got back. Talking of European Champions: England made it to the finals only to lose 2 - 0 to Serbia. Hojlund also retired from international football after the competition at the age of 29. The Champions League Difference Real managed an undefeated league season and then beat us in the Champions League final, they're gone back to the top spot of being the most reputable club in the world. Backroom I made a handful of staff changes, nothing big. We still have the best coaching and recruitment teams. Medical I think is just down to the amount of staff other clubs have. Transfers So far Out: I did not want to sell Kovar at all, he's still class but he only had a year left which I somehow missed his contract when I renewed others and after a club who can offer him 600k a week to be their first team keeper came in, I couldn't refuse, the only way he'd stay if he matched it, which wasn't happening. The offer for Theate was far too good to turn down. I wanted Vivian off the books, he had a year left and was on alot of wage. Kossounou had been declining and I have youth ready to replace. Gnahore wasn't going to make it here, pretty good investment as that's 30mil profit There's still a couple of players who could either leave for money or on loan. In: Bruno is a youth CB who looks alright, needs work but has so much potential. The next is Dekker He'll be my starting CB for the rest of this save, he looks amazing. 95mil is alot but when he's got 10+ seasons in him, he's a brilliant investment. Ramsdale was backup at Real, he's just missed out on a move to Saudi, I needed a GK as my word it's hard to find a GK, he'll be here for a season or two and he's a good mentor for my backup GK who I'm looking to take over Ramsdale when I feel he's ready. Yoro is a new player to me but he looks the part, he'll be playing at RCB for me and has years left in him, really like this signing, for other players with his ability I'd feel we'd be paying alot more. Biffi is a youth player I've been looking at for the past year who was randomly transer listed for 3.3mil, I put in 5 to make sure he came and he'll be getting some game time, already retrained him to CM, I'd love to see him play there for me, has so much potential and looks like he's good enough to play games now. I have some players that are wanted, some I'd sell including Foden, I felt he declined at the back end of the season and he's on 400k a week. Barcelona have sold a newgen for 200mil potentially going to 260 and Yamal for 260 potentially going to 290 so they have money and seem interested in Phil. If they offer 80mil, he can go. Opening Fixtures That's an easy opening month and we have the community shield to start the season and we know can beat Chelsea. Let's see what the month brings.
  13. End of Season What a brilliant season, shame we couldn't get the quad but it's still been brilliant. This summer I'll be looking to change a few players, I have bids in for 3 youth players already, I'm looking to ship some players out and I want new blood at CB. Edit: I don't feel bad about the Real loss now, they haven't lost a league game all season .
  14. Champions League Final Our biggest match of the season, we win this and we win the quadruple. We've been in two Champions League final and won both, last year we beat Real in Hungary. I'm starting the same team I started against Chelsea. We just have some players not fully fit but I hope we can take the lead before they need subbing. The Millers kick off the first half. 17th minute: Good passing from Real, Mendoza has it out wide, he crosses and Bellingham rises the highest but he heads it onto the bar. 22nd minute: It's a poor pass from Livramento and Real counter and Kovar pulls out an incredible save. Becerra gives away a foul near the corner flag, Bellingham takes but Kovar collects. 32nd minute: Arda Guler is standing over the ball about 25 yards out, he strikes but it's over. We're lucky to not be behind at half time. Boxall, Miley and Flores are replacing Juliao, Foden and Hubana. They're shattered. 64th minute: That's an incredible ball from Phillips to find Flores and he smashes in but is he offside? He is, it's still 0 - 0. 66th minute: Tchoumeni tries to bend one in but it's wide. 66th minute: Kimble is replacing Livramento and even though Hojlund isn't fully fit, he's coming on the Pitchford. It's heartbreak. 92nd minute: It's poor from us, we're passing around the Real Madrid box but we're not doing anything with it, Becerra loses it, Real break, it's Mendoza who shoots, Kovar saves but Bellingham hits in the rebound. 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Real win the Champions league. Kimble is a strange one? He has been pretty impressive this season.
  15. FA Cup Final We're not the best in the FA Cup, we've won 1 out of 4 finals, losing to Chelsea in 2027/2028. We do like beating Chelsea though and we've had some huge wins against them. The line ups: Boxall has just returned from injury but Hojlund is out for this and potentially the Champions League final. The Millers kick off the first half. 15th minute: Becerra steals the ball and hits a deep cross, Pitchford has the pace to get on the end of it and his header smashes against the bar and out for a goal kick. 21st minute: Becerra steals it again, it's with Juliao who hits a brilliant ball over to the on running Pitchford who hits in but he's a mile offside. 27th minute: Phillips hits a ball over to Foden, he hits first time into the box but Ronning collects. There's a huge mistake at the back from Chelsea, Reece James with a very poor pass, Hubana steals, plays it to Foden, he plays it through to Hubana who strikes in after 27 minutes to make it 1 - 0 to Rotherham United! 29th minute: Some brilliant passing from the Millers, Livramento takes on his man and plays a smart ball into space for Pitchford who hits in, it's 2 - 0! 30th minute: Another mistake from Chelsea, Juliao intecepts and hits it from outside the box but it's over. This has been a bit one-sided so far... Chelsea kick off the second half, will they do a bit better? 64th minute: It's 3 - 0 to the Millers. Fantastic passing, Becerra down the left plays a ball across goal which Hubana hits in. Becerra has been class today. 66th minute: Gamal and Boxall replace Phillips and Juliao. 78th minute: Gamal hits a brilliant 25 yard strike low into the corner past Ronning and it's 4 - 0. 80th minute: Kimble, Tremble and Miley replace Vivian, Theate and Foden. 87th minute: Boxall plays it across goal and Pitchford hits it and it's an amazing save from Ronning! It's a corner, Miley takes and it's headed out, Boxall to Miley but he's offside. FA CUP WINNERS. Chelsea didn't register a shot on target . We do like a good win vs Chelsea. We were brilliant, one more game to go for an unreal season. He's in the England Squad! MacDonald has been on loan for the past 6 months at Sunderland, they've just got promoted after winning the play-off final that MacDonald actually scored in and he's going to the European Championships! MacDonald is a Rotherham fan, Wakefield born youth player who came through our ranks so this is amazing .
