    Ipswich (h) FA Cup 4th Round Replay

    Ten minutes into the game we took the lead as J.Ashmeade rose above the defence and headed an A.Xhepa cross past the keeper. Twelve minutes later we had another chance with J.Ashmeade jinking through the defence but his final effort went wide of the post. On the 34th minute we had our next effort as D.Leonardi curled a wonderful ball into the area but M.Vandamme headed over the keeper and net. A minute into injury time we finally grabbed goal number two as G.Mokulu slotted in from close range after the Ipswich defence failed to deal with a T.Jarvis low cross.

    The second half was two minutes old when we made it three nil as L.Guglielmi ran in from the wing and unleashed a thunderous effort into the top corner of the net. Soon after the same player had another chance but this time the keeper was on hand to tip the shot over. On the 65th minute it was four nil as A.Grossi ran onto a L.Guglielmi through-ball to slot in under the keeper. Seven minutes later the final goal of the game was scored as A.Grossi dinked the keeper from just inside the area after running through the defence with ease.

    Man Utd 5-0 Ipswich J.Ashmeade 10, G.Mokulu 45+1, L.Guglielmi 47, A.Grossi 65, 72

    February 6th:

    Crystal Palace (a) (27/38)

    We played the better and on the 11th minute we came close to taking the lead as a long range effort from D.Benedetti was well saved by the keeper. Three minutes later G.Mokulu came close as he broke through the defence but his final effort was as poor as the Palace defending. On the 18th minute we finally took the lead as D.Benedetti beat the offside trap and rounded the keeper to slot home into the empty net. Twelve minutes later we had yet another chance with a brilliant team move which saw the Palace defence split apart but M.Vandamme failed to convert the shot.

    The second half was again all my side but we couldn't get past a stubborn Palace keeper. On the hour mark we had our closest effort of the half as G.Mokulu headed just wide of the post. On the 72nd minute we grabbed the second and final goal of the game as D.Benedetti rose above the defence and headed a D.Leonardi corner into the top corner of the net. By rights we should have completely battered Palace.

    Crystal Palace 0-2 Man Utd D.Benedetti 18, 72

    The draw for the FA Cup 5th Rd sees us facing an away tie against Championship side Plymouth, if we beat Ipswich in the replay

    February 3rd:

    Watford (h) (26/38)

    We started the better and on the 14th minute we took the lead with a long range effort from A.Xhepa which gave the keeper no chance of saving. Ten minutes later we had another chance as D.Benedetti headed a D.Leonardi cross straight into the keeper arms. On the 39th minute Watford had their first shot as they piled into the area but K.Swaby saved brilliantly to deny them

    The second half was three minutes old when T.Franco slipped with ball and V.Gauthier fired in under K.Swaby. The away fans joy didn't last long as on the 52nd minute D.Benedetti beat the Watford defence to a loose ball and lashed the ball past the keeper. The goal took any wind out of Watford's sail and we dominated. On the 65th minute we had yet another chance as A.Grossi curled the ball towards goal but the Watford keeper saved well to deny them. On the 73rd minute we made it 3-1 with A.Grossi thumping an A.Xhepa cross into the top corner. With three minutes remaining we had the chance for a fourth goal as M.Vandamme was brought down in the area, A.Grossi stepped up but his penalty was poor and it went wide of the post.

    Man Utd 3-1 Watford A.Xhepa 14, D.Benedetti 52, A.Grossi 73 / V.Gauthier 48

    K.Swaby, L.King, T.Franco, A.De Russis, M.Reekers (B.Oppong), G.Mokulu (S.Pino), A.Xhepa, D.Leonardi, M.Vandamme, M.Arruabarrena, D.Benedetti (A.Grossi)

    The final game of the season for Ben's side as they beat Brianza and finished the season as Serie A Champions... Well Done Ben

    CFuller (Fiorentina)

    The final game of the Serie A season sees his side draw 0-0 against Napoli to finish the season in 10th spot. However his season wasn't finished as his side faced AZ in the UEFA Europa Conference League Final. His side played well and won 2-1 to lift the trophy... Well Done CFuller

    Daniel Evensen (Salernitana)

    The final game of the season ended in disappointment as they lost 2-0 to Torino to finish the season in 16th place and just above the relegation spot

    Gavrenwick (Lazio)

    The season ended in disappointment for Gav's side as they lost 1-0 to Spezia and finished the season in 5th spot.

    Neilhoskins77 (Napoli (Parthenope))

    The final game of the season saw his side finish with a 0-0 draw against Fiorentina to end the season in 7th spot

    bigmattb28 (Pisa)

    The month started with a 2-1 win over Perugia and was followed by a 2-2 draw against Benevento. The final league game saw his side finish with a 2-2 draw to end the normal season in 4th spot. His side then faced a two legged play-off against Brescia for the chance of promotion, however the first leg didn't go to plan as they lost 1-0. The second leg wasn't much better as they lost 2-0 and will mean they have another season in Serie B.

    Dalbeider (Bari)

    The month began with a 1-1 draw against Ascoli and was followed by a 1-0 win over Cittadella. The final match of the month and his reign was a 2-0 loss to SPAL. His finished the month in 11th spot. Goodbye Dalbeider

    Mandy42 (Como)

    The month started with a 0-0 draw against Cittadella and was followed by a 1-0 loss to Genoa. The final game of the league saw his side drawing 2-2 against Pisa. His side finished 7th in the league and would face the play-offs.

    His side faced Frosinone in the Preliminary but could only manage a 0-0 draw which meant Frosinone went through as they finished the season in a higher position (Weird rule)

  11. January 30th:

    Ipswich (a) FA Cup 4th Round

    After the dominant performance of the last game I was hoping for more of the same but my players failed to deliver and we struggled with the basics of the game. On the 36th minute Ipswich had the first chance of the game as they broke into the defence but T.Franco managed to clear of the line.

    The second half was just as bad as we struggled with everything that is football. The only player in my side that did well was T.Franco who kept the few Ipswich attacks at bay. Not a great performance at all

    Ipswich 0-0 Man Utd

    K.Swaby, L.King, T.Franco, J.Smith, P.Lane, G.Mokulu, A.Xhepa, D.Leonardi (L.Guglielmi), M.Vandamme, S.Pino (K.Jardine), D.Benedetti (O.Scherbakov)

    Aston Villa (a) EFL Cup Semi Final 2nd Leg (agg 0-4)

    With us four nil up I made a few changes and on the 20th minute we added our first goal as A.De Russis rose above the defence and headed a K.Jardine corner into the back of the net. Twelve minutes later we had another chance as D.Leonardi jinked through the defence and tried to curl the ball past the Villa keeper but it didn't curl enough and went wide. On the stroke of half time we had our next chance as D.Leonardi threaded the ball to the feet of A.Grossi who lashed the ball wide of the post.

    The second half was two minutes old when we mad it 2-0 as A.Xhepa hit a thunderous shot past the Villa keeper from just outside the area. We were all over Villa and just after the hour mark we made it three nil and seven nil on aggregate as S.Pino slotted in from close range after a wonderful ball from D.Leonardi. With eight minutes remaining in the game we grabbed our final goal as L.Guglielmi showed some silky skill to beat the defence and fired under the onrushing Villa keeper to complete the rout
