kris0710 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Cambridge United Football Club Premier League 2053/54 November Ouch, a terrible start to the month. Manchester City destroyed us despite us taking the lead. They hot back in the 35th and 37th minute and even afforded a red card after 55 minutes. As i pushed to get a leveller they hit us on the counter twice in the final 17 minutes. Three points were much needed and collected when going to Liverpool in a stunning 4-0 win before a dominant second half saw off Sheffield United. Left back Falkenmayer was in the right place from a corner to hit the only goal against Blackburn where we rode our luck for much of the match. Champions League Two easy home wins put us through as yet again my back up eleven did a solid job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defeats to Wycombe and Manchester Unite the most painful of the three, United scoring the winner in the 90th minute. Well out if contention for the title now, like Wycombe last year Arsenal are running away with it. Capital One Cup Another defeat and out of the cup we go. Champions League A first slip of the season but it mattered little. Champions League Draw A very winnable draw, delighted to be at home for the second leg. Club World Championship As easy as it gets.

kris0710 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Cambridge United Football Club Premier League 2053/54 January One of the busiest months ever saw us win 4 of our 7 league games this month. Had to twice come from behind to draw with struggling Stoke before seeing off Huddersfield thanks in part to a brace on his PL debut from new signing Abraham Garcia. A heavy defeat to runaway leaders Arsenal followed then we required a late header from centre back Varao to beat off Nott'm Forest. A quickfire brace in the second half saw off Fulham. Cardiff were seen off with ease, 4-0 but 4th placed Hull won a close game, scoring with their only two efforts on target. Award Fabulous start for the one January signing. FA Cup A dream debut for Garcia, scoring after just 18 seconds and two assists after that. Edged past Fulham in the 4th Round to set up a home tie with Arsenal. January Transfer Window One player left this month- Mario Gabbidon After being here since 2049 the 27 year old leaves for Mexico after failing to hold down a regular spot within the team. Made a £1.5m profit on the £4m it cost to sign him. Coming in is a replacement for Gabbidon- Abraham Garcia The Spanish Wonderkid joins from Athletico Madrid for £5m. At 19 he has plenty of time to improve but already 5 goals in 6 starts, 3 assists, 2 MotM awards and an average of 7.66 he is looking a great purchase.

kris0710 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Cambridge United Football Club Premier League 2053/54 April An up and down month but with a top three place never looking in too much danger i am putting all my eggs in the FAC and CL basket. An amazing game with West Ham saw us 2-0 and 3-1 down before leading 4-3. The home side drew the game level before another goal from Abraham Garcia sealed a brilliant win. A last gasp goal helped Spurs to three points as we ended with just nine men but it was back to winning ways with five more goals past Wycombe. Just about guaranteed a CL spot for next season. Excellent. FA Cup Easy as you like after Abraham Garcia gave us the lead inside a minute. Hull await in a rematch of the 2051 Cup Final Champions League Two goals in the closing stages saw us come from behind to see of rivals Wycombe. A semi final with CSKA Moscow saw us take a good lead into the away leg. The Russians scored first and then again late on when we had come back to lead 2-1. An all English Final with Manchester City awaits. Can we retain the trophy?? Award Yet another accolade. 14 goals in 14 starts and three sub appearances.

kris0710 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 How have you motivated yourself to keep going this long? It has been easy for the most part. I have found over all the FM series that getting out of the Skrill Premier is pretty easy but this time i really struggled. Winning promotion from there was the motivation for the first 7 seasons! Then winning back to back promotions i wanted to stabilise the club in League One. In that league came a first trophy and then play off heartbreak. We were progressing in each season before two poor years made me change the squad and tactics a lot that brought another lost play off and then the title. Once i made it into the Championship i wanted to get them into the PL. I have never taken a non league side to the top division before and here i was, just one promotion. After the third Championship season ended in relegation i expected to be sacked but the board held off and we had my favourite season so far, title with record goals and points. That was the catalyst for two amazing season in the Championship and promotion to the big league. It was then i started to struggle, i had played 6 years with the sole aim of getting into the PL and in my mind it was job done. I have a poor record with Championship clubs going into the PL so expected to be sacked quickly while sitting bottom. We had one amazing season with finishing 5th but then came winning the League Cup but my save game being corrupted. Not having the save for a couple of weeks was soul destroying, i couldn't get into another one, it was like losing my bloody arm! So to find a save i uploaded but having to replay two seasons was easy to do, i was dying to play as Cambridge again. From there we had the relegation so i was determined to get us back up and be stronger. It is only now that i struggle to motivate myself. Saves for me have never been success after success like some you read and now i'm sitting here with a league title, two FA Cups, two Champions League, one Europa League, two Super Cups and one Club World Championship in the last three seasons. I feel my job is more than done. As i am 19 years into my new stadium i suppose staying to see how big a new stadium would be is motivating me to stay on. I am 71 in the game so i will have to retire soon enough. Maybe the fear of not knowing what to do after this save is keeping me going? Winning all these trophies is great and in essence is the aim of the game. But last seasons success or the PL, FAC and EL treble season probably aren't in my top 5 seasons ive had with Cambridge. Give me struggles and battles any day. There has been plenty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Don't want anyone saying it was a fluke do you? ) Thanks buddy, been a good three seasons. I need another PL title, winning the first was great but we won it with 79 points. Fairly low total. I expected it to be the least ever but it wasn't actually. 2019/20 - Manchester City - 79 pts 2029/30 - Manchester City - 77 pts 2041/42 - Southampton - 78 pts The other end of the scale in 2034/35 Manchester City and 2048/49 Arsenal won it with 100 pts. It feels like i need to win it with a mid 80's points total for it to have been through our excellence and not others having a poor year. Good job again, hoping for a title next season. I want: 1. Third CL in a row - only the two Manchester's have done that. 2. PL title If we are still in the mix come March then maybe i will change my opinion but i am a little obsessed with a 3rd European Crown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting at Nott'm Forest it was one of those days where everything we hit seemed to fly past the keeper. It was totally the opposite at Hull with the guy between the sticks a magnet for the ball, we had enough good chances to win half a dozen games but it wasn't to be.

kris0710 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Cambridge United Football Club Premier League 2054/55 September Fantastic month brings maximum points, three clean sheets and a nice little lead at the top of the PL. We kicked off with three points at West Brom thanks to a first half Dirley Rodrigo header then Abraham Garcia sealed the result late on with a quick counter attacking move. I think it's fair to say we outclassed Spurs, putting 6 away for the second time this season. The month ended with a top of the table clash against Manchester City which followed a similar path to the West Brom game. We score, play really well without adding to the goal tally. The opposition rarely threaten then we score late on. Capital One Cup Was not bothered about the result, would happily have been knocked out in truth but as it was we eased into the next round where a trip to Blackburn awaits. Champions League The second choice eleven certainly made up for a lacklustre showing in Switzerland to destroy Porto at our place. Top after two games and a double header with the bottom side is certainly a positive start. Awards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
