SRL88 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Have just caugfht up with things from the past day or so................massive congratulations from me dude. Not only did you manage to overhaul Bayern in the League, but you also gave them a bit of a bloody nose in the cup final! The news of the takeover is pretty good really; more money brings greater expectation. With things staying as they are you'll be able to get on with things as have been doing. Cheers Tom . I was delighted to finish ahead of Bayern because usually in Germany, who ever does wins the league. I was massively surprised at how far they finished back as they were dropping ridiculous points in the second half of the season. Leverkusen wouldnt let up though!! Regarding the Final, we did hold on for the first half hour or so, but in the end we deserved it. The only problem I have with no investment is that we will be around the same level for Europe so its going to be even tougher to push on and improve on that front.

SRL88 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 SRL88's Career - Pre-Season - 2039/40 - Borussia Monchengladbach Friendlies A very good pre-season for us which kicked off with a brilliant win at Anfield. We then went on a tour of Iceland where we put in some very solid performances and grab ourselves three very nice victories. German Super Cup A game which we controlled for the most part, but a one which neither side really looked like winning. Marques gave us the lead with a cracking strike, but Leverkusen hit back, and in a game of few chances, it went to penalties. With both sides taking brilliant penalties, one miss from them handed us the tie as we managed to claim the German Super Cup. Transfers - InJust the one player brought in this summer, and that was only due to someone going behind my back and selling a player. I have decided to bring some youngsters into the first team this season, of which we have quite a few so there was little to no need to splash the cash really. Kieran Kirkpatrick - £8.5m - Should be a cracking buy and results in us having four very good centre halves. Transfers - Out A few departures, with the standout being the sale of Dimitris Efthymiou to Arsenal behind my back. I decided to sell Kyllian Roussel to Italian side Novara who put in a cracking bid which I couldnt reject. The rest of the departures mainly consisted of loans with just one other sale.

SRL88 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 SRL88's Career - July 2039 - Borussia Monchengladbach DFB Pokal 1st Round A very easy victory for us in the first round. It was nice for Ramic, who on his debut grabbed a brace whilst Max Koch also grabbed his first goal for the club on just his second appearence. The win set up a home tie against Koln in the Second Round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 SRL88's Career - August 2039 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga I couldnt have asked for a better start to the season to be fair. We kicked the campaign off with a solid win away to promoted HSV. Our following game, against another promoted side was helped by them giving a penalty away, and having a man sent off in the opening miniutes. We converted that chance and then breezed to a 4-0 win. This was followed up by a solid win away to Stuttgart before a very convincing display against Wolfsburg. They never had an effort on goal and we dominated the entire game.

I'd also suggest you to have a 2nd term with Kirklarelispor. They are close to my hometown Tekirdag (about 30 miles) so I'd like to see you making them champions, or winning a CL with Galatasaray. You betrayed my favorite team! Just kidding, after winning titles in England, Germany and Spain you should also consider Serie A and Ligue 1 to have your own Royal Flush. Good luck!

SRL88 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 SRL88's Career - September 2039 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga We continued our 100% with another very good month. A brilliant first half display against Rostok won us the game. We werent at our best in the second period, but nor did they trouble us. This was followed up with a hard fought 3-0 win againat Bochum. They were the side who beat us on the final day of last season, ending our brilliant unbeaten run, and they gave us a good game here. An own-goal close to half-time gave us the lead and it was needed. The goal settled us for the second half and as Bochum were pushing, we hit them twice on the counter attack to close the gave out. We rounded the month off with a brilliant win away to Frankfurt, with Marques on top form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 SRL88's Career - October 2039 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga A rather mixed month for us. We had to battle for victory against Koln who held firm under our pressure. The draw against Dortmund is what I expected really. They were probably the better team, but we managed to take the lead in the first half. Dortmund continued to press but we held firm. That was until the final few minutes when they levelled things up. I cant say I was disappointed really because a draw was the least Dortmund deserved. The draw which followed against Jena was a annoying. I dont know how we reached double figures against them. We had 30 shots at goal, 18 of which were on target and 4 shots his the woodwork. A massive case of bag luck. We rounded the month off with a hard fought, but well deserved win away to Freiburg.

SRL88 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 October 2039 - Continued DFB Pokal 2nd Round A well deserved win, but it took us extra-time to get it. Koln took the lead in the game but we hit back almot immediately. Despite constant pressure, Koln managed to take us to extra-time. We continued to dominate, but it was an own-goal in the last minute which saw us through. We will face Bundesliga 2 side Kiel at home in the Third Round. Champions League A very, very tough game. Man Utd were brilliant in this game, a lot better than last seasons knockout tie. We managed to battle our way to three points which I was delighted about as our next to games are Man Utd then Sampdoria away from home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 SRL88's Career - November 2039 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga Yet another mixed month. We were given three very tough games this month so to remain unbeaten is nice, but our dominance in games is dwindling. The month started with a very hard game against Hoffenheim who really took the game to us. We really were on the back foot for much of this game, with Hoffe taking the lead twice in the game, only for Geoff McAllister to pull of level twice to grab us a point. We then went to Bremen where we grabbed a really big win. St-Louis gave us the lead early in the game, and Bremen levelled things on the stroke of half time. The second half was tense, but a typical poachers effort from Marques offered us all three points. The month rounded off with a tense and boring tie against Bayern.

Despite how good Man Utd were at our place, we made them look average here as Popa popped up with a header from close range to give us all three points. Sampdoria put us under some serious pressure but we stood firm and managed to take a 1-1 draw away from Italy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
