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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 .

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.

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 .

End of Prem Season But two cup finals to go. An O.G and loss against a team that didn't manage a shot on target cost me an undefeated season and record points . Considering I was still going to play Hojlund and Pitchford uptop again this season but Pitchford started with some poor form and Hubana kept scoring off the bench, everything changed and now I have an absolute World Class striker. Kovar just bein' Kovar, he's so good. They're trying to tell me though he's still 3* he's only a squad player now like, there's a handful of better GK's in the game, give over . Champions League After a good away draw, we're into the final. Gulp? That's the hardest draw! We have Chelsea in the FA Cup Final first, so let's get on with it!

April Absolutely brilliant month! I've made some changes going into the Brentford game with Barcelona on the horizon and Brentford being bottom of the league. 15 minutes into the game and we've hit the woodwork 3 times, come on! We've finally taken the lead fter 48 minutes, Gamal plays a ball through to Foden who squares it to Flores to hits in. It's 2 after 54 minutes, Foden hits in a freekick, Brown heads back and Boxall heads in. Boxall gets his brace after good attacking play from the Millers, Theate plays it to Boxall who hits in low from just inside the box after 66 minutes. Brentford were lucky we only scored 3, with an xG of 4.21 I'd of liked to have scored more. Aston Villa take the lead after 20 minutes as Samu heads in Douglas Luiz's corner. Foden equalised after 26 minutes with a 30 yard freekick, that was beautiful! Hubana has missed 2 clear chances so far, this could be a league winning game, hope it doesn't cost us. Boxall has come off the bench to give us the lead after 76 minutes. 3 of the 5 subs come together, Brown dribbles down the left, plays it to Flores, he turns, plays it to Boxall who's free in the 6 yard box, he doesn't hit it the best but it hits off Valdez and deflects in. All we need against Leeds is a point and we'll be Champions. It was a really poor first half, hopefully we do something in the second. It's Leeds who take the lead, Lino takes it past his marker, hits a long ball over to Aguiar, he plays it across the box and Skipp hits in after 55 minutes. Hojlund equalises after 63, Foden hits in a freekick, Leeds heads out, Juliao heads back in and Hojlund past the goalkeeper. We were poor but a point is all we needed and a point is what we got. Champions! FA Cup We were heavy favourites and we showed them why , Tough game but we can beat Chelsea. Champions League We were brilliant at home and equalled them away, really impressed. Juliao gave us a good start and then Hubana missed a sitter and I was thinking is this another day we don't take our chances, I was wrong. We were brilliant, Foden scored a massive deflection but Phillips scored an absolute belter and Hubana made up for his early miss. I've said a few times this season our goals vs xG could be better, this is a game where we've been clinical. We should be able to hold on to a 4 goal difference and in the final we'll face either Spurs or Real. Next Month With the league wrapped up, can we do the quadruple? We're only 3 games away from it!

Champions! 6 times in a row! After a draw against Leeds, meaning we can't beat Manchester City's record points, we're title winners!

March An incredible month ! We take the lead against Everton after a great team goal that's finished by Juliao with an assist from Foden after 18 minutes. We dominated from start to finish, we had 29 shots but only 7 on target with an xG of 2.79, Everton didn't have a shot, our finishing let us down. Hojlund especially had a bad day. We're without Becerra, Brown and even Tapia against Manchester City, Bitshiabu is having to start at LWB. Oh what a run from Bitshiabu, he wins the ball, dribbles down the left for over half the pitch, turns and plays a nice cross into the box where he finds Phillips in space who volleys in after 11 minutes. Bitshiabu has been like prime Roberto Carlos today, he's been putting in brilliant crosses and winning everything and he's just put us 2 - 0 up, Hubana who's missed two sitters hit's in a freekic, Hojlund heads it back across goal and Bitshiabu is there to hit in from about 4 yards out after 57 minutes. What a win, it was the Bitshiabu show. We're all over Southampton in this first half but we're missing sitters! I have rotated but still! We finally take the lead after 35 minutes after Pitchford heads in Gamals cross. It's a poor pass from Bitshiabu, Devine hits a long ball over, Ewens collects and hits past Kovar, Southampton equalise with their first shot on target. Miley gives us the lead after 57 minutes, heading in Flores' corner. That's an awful pass from Tavares, Pitchford takes it, dribbles pasts his man and hits in after 58 minutes to make it 3. We battered Southampton, it would have been nice to score more. I think we're on form to actually beat Manchester City's point total, we do have Chelsea to play yet but we're at home but every other game is very winnable. FA Cup We got revenge on Arsenal, we were brilliant! And a draw vs a Championship side in the semi final should see is through to the final. Champions League Boxall and Miley showing Foden and Juliao how it's done. That's a tough draw though, we've already lost against them this season, hopefully it spurs the lads on. International Callups Finally, my English players are being used for the national team! Boxall, Tremble and Livramento are being called up for the first time. And two of them made their debut . Youth intake We got a potential CB and maybe a LB but it wasn't the best intake and some of the good talents have awful personalities, I have very good backroom staff so I'm going to have to check who needs replacing or I've just had a bad year. Best 50 Wonderkids Awesome to see an academy player in MacDonald in 4th, Young has been here for the last couple of years but I'm shocked at Guilfoyle, he's come through the youth and I'm probably letting him go at the end of the season, he's not good enough. Next Month Should be able to get maximum points in the league though West Ham are a challenge. Barcelona may knock us out of the Champions League, we'll see but I should get an FA Cup Final.

February We're not at our best but we've been getting results, Arsenal were awful, didn't have a shot on target and still beat us! We were lucky to draw against Liverpool, they were the better side, our key players struggled in the rain and Kovar was MOTM for a reason. Both Foden and Juliao are massively out of form. We're at home against Manchester United so hopefully we see a massive improvement from our Liverpool game. United are countering in numbers, Livramento fouls the attacker and it's a pen to United, Mount steps up and.. Kovar saves in the 52nd minute! We take the lead after 61 minutes, Hubana heading in Fodens corner! What a close game! We had a couple of chances in the game, hitting the woodwork twice but that was a very tight game and a good win! Kovar MOTM for the 2nd game in a row. Another home game and hopefully we can build on our Manchester United win. As I'm typing this, out of form Foden missed a sitter. We're all over Newcastle, we've had so many chances, we've had over 70% possession in the first half, we just can't put the ball into the net! I cannnot belive what I've watched, we've had 4 clear cut chances and they have been proper chances, Flores has come off the bench but missed some incredible chances. We've taken the lead in the 91st minute! Finally! Hubana heads in Becerra's cross! We've had 23 shots, 13 on target with an xG of 3.35, we deserved that win! Newcastle GK Grabara ended up with an 8.2 rating! Away at Hull, we smashed them 7 - 1 earlier in the season and I'm hoping we can give some confidence back into Foden and Juliao here. We've won a penalty in the 43rd minute and that should be a red card! Hull are down to 10 for a 2nd yellow, Foden steps up and it's saved! It's Archie Brown who gives us the lead after 45+2, cutting in from the left and smashing in. Livramento makes it 2 after 69 minutes. Corner comes in, it's cleared to Juliao, he hits it first time to Livramento who hits it first time from just outside the box and in. Flores' ends his goal drought, Kimble and Juliao play a one two, Kimble hits into the box, Flores picks up, spins and smashes in after 79 minutes. It's 4 after 88 minutes, Flores again. Brilliant drive into the box by Pitchford, he plays it across goal, Juliao smashes it and it's off the post, Flores is there to hit into the massive open space. We've been brilliant in this second half, we had chances to score more, 4.27xG, this is more like it! It's another game against Arsenal, I feel like we play them every month ! Arsenal are not in the best form but they're a good team and we're away. It's been a poor game, Arsenal haven't had a shot on goal but they take the lead after 61 minutes, Saliba threw in to Saka, he's hit across goal, Kovar has been caught out and Kossounou has poked it into his own net. What a terrible game of football and then our unbeaten streak is over, beaten by a team who didn't manage a shot on target. Arsenal GK Tobiasz was MOTM. We're clear the summit but i'm a little salty in the manner of our first loss of the season . Carabao Cup See above post FA Cup We couldn't put our chances away, Foden came off the bench to set up Flores' in a deserved win. Oh look, another game against Arsenal . Champions League We can absolutely beat Leverkusen, they were lucky to draw against us earlier in the season. Next Month Cup wins please .

Carabao Cup Final Liverpool should have beaten us at the start of the month but we've picked up form and Liverpool have just lost to Wolves, we have a chance. Livramento and Juliao have picked up their form, Foden is playing poor at the moment, I had to insist he play better so hopefully he does it here. Line ups: Phillips is suspended but Gamal is more than enough to play DM today and Theate is out injured so I've given Tremble the nod ahead of Kossounou. Liverpool kick off. 4th minute: Hubana hits in the freekick, it's not cleared properly, Vivian heads to Juliao who unleashes a fierce volley from outside the box but it's over. 9th minute: Some bad passing from both teams, Hojlund steals it but is tackled, Hubana picks up, dribbles through two men but Hernandez makes a good save to deny. It's a corner to the Millers, Foden hits in, Hojlund heads at goal but Hernandez saves for another corner. Gamal hits in this time and it's cleared by Liverpool. 44th minute: Szoboszlai hits a 25 yard freekick and Kovar has to make a great save to deny. Liverpool with a corner, it's hit in and we head out. Very even first half. The Millers kick off the 2nd half. 54th minute: Becerra dribbles down the left after receiving a long pass from Hubana, he crosses in and Hubana is there to head in! 1 - 0 to the Millers! Konate will be wanting that one back, he missed his header. 71st minute: Boxall is back from injury, he's coming on with Miley and Flores to replace Juliao, Foden and Hojlund. 81st minute: A poor ball from Tremble is intercepted by Frimpong, he hads it to Echeverri, Bitshiabu tackles him and Bajcetic goes for a glory but it's over. 86th minute: Kossounou is coming on at DM to replace Gamal and Kimble is coming on at RWB to replace Livramento, they're both shattered. There's 7 minutes of added time. But that's it. 3 IN A ROW. We love the Carabao Cup

January Good enough month. Brighton game was frustrating and thankfully we'd qualified before the Barcelona loss. There's more rotation against Crystal Palace. We take the lead after 52 minutes, Brown throws to Foden, he plays it back and Brown crosses in. Livramento heads it into the six yard box where Juliao volleys in. It's 2 after 54 minutes. Hojlund heading in Browns cross after Lima missed the ball. Hojlund heads in again to make it 3 after 62 minutes after a cross from Pitchford. It's 4 and Pitchford is back on the scoresheet, Tapia crosses, Boxall heads it, it takes a massive deflection and Pitchford is there to poke in after 85 minutes. We were brilliant in that second half. It's Hubana heading in Fodens corner after just 4 minutes to give us an early lead against Norwich. It's 2 after 49 minutes, Vivian plays a freekick over the top, Hubana hits into the six yard box, Ansen saves straight to Hojlund who hits in. Hubana makes it 3, heading in Mileys corner after 75 minutes. Hubana finished on a 10 rating, he's just amazing. We take the lead against Brighton after some good passing between Livramento and Kimble, Kimble plays it to Hubana who slots in after 20 minutes. Kossounou comes on at half time as Bitshiabu has a knock, plays a poor freekick, Prass steals, Brighton counters and Sesko hits in after 46 minutes. I could see he was going to make an awful decision the whole time, what has happened to Kossounou this season! We had chances but it's a draw. Still flying high. Carabao Cup Easy home win and a new record. Too many youth players in the 2nd leg . I made some subs and we were a different level. I think we can beat Liverpool. FA Cup Easy, easy . Hopefully we'll play better this time compared to our recent league game. Champions League Our finishing was not good enough, look at that xG! Not good enough against Barcelona either. By far Fodens worse game for us, our key players went missing. Deadline Day It sasn't actually happened, it's in early Feb but I've already finished our business. It's a very boring year for transfers for Millers fans this season. I've sold van den Berg for 15mil and brought in Stephan Stenbring for £12mil. I was looking at Goncalo Inacio who's at Newcastle but he'd cost nearly 80mil and want 300k+ wages, it isn't happening. He has some work to do but has potential. I've brought back some loans and sent more out. Conteh and Mitrovic will be 5th/6th Striker if I need, Sostik is my 6th CM or 3rd DM. We have a full squad. Next Month That is a very difficult month and there's a chance our unbeaten run might come to an end, I'd love to win the Carabao Cup for the 3rd time in a row.

December A really good month except the Bayer 04 game! That was frustrating! Home to Aston Villa makes my 500th game in management, hope we can top that off with a win! It's a magical goal from Phil Foden as he bends a freekick that hits in the inside of the post and in after 27 minutes. Mistake at the back from Pau Torres, Foden intercepts his pass, plays it to Hubana who makes it 2 after 37 minutes. Foden makes it 3 after 52 minutes, Phillips hits a long shot, it takes a deflection of Foden and beats the 'keeper but Bazunu should be doing better. Foden is fouled in the box and it's a pen! He sends the goalkeeper the wrong way and it's his hat-trick after 72 minutes! In the 92nd minute it's 5. Hubana hits in the freekick, Kimble beats Torres in the air, he heads it down to Pitchford who hits in. What a game, 5 - 0 and Villa had 0 shots! I remember when Yuri Alberto a few seasons back was gunning for top goalscorer and today he hasn't managed to get a shot away! Foden and Hubana are tired but West Ham are a very good team that I can't take for granted and I can always sub them later. It's Juliao who gives us the led after 27 minutes, Foden hits in a corner, it's not cleared properly and Juliao drives into the box and hits in. We were lucky for it not to be level as Elliot blocks off Kovar as Kolo Muani headed in. It's an equaliser for West Ham after 73 minutes, a freekick comes in, Chalobah picks up, hits in and Silveira wins the header and it loops over Kovar. Bitshiabu puts us back ahead after 83 minutes heading in Flores' corner. It's a silly tackle and Brown gives away a penalty, Barco steps up and slots into the corner past Kovar to make it 2 - 2 after 89 minutes. It ended in a draw, both teams had chances, Flores heading an effort against the post. I didn't notice Livramento was on a 6.2, I just didn't have any more subs! Alot of tired players and I'm happy with a draw. We took the lead after just 11 minutes against Leeds. Foden hits in a freekick, Vandevoordt dives to save it, misses it and it leaves Bitshiabu to volley it into the net. It's an O.G to put us 2 - 0 after 19 minutes, Foden hits in a corner, it's cleared, Juliao hits in and it deflects to Foden, he plays a one-two with Phillips, shoots with the outside of his boot and Ampadu tries to knock it off for a corner but hits it into his own net. Leeds pull one back after 30 minutes, Triantis hits a long ball over the top, Bitshiabu loses his marker, Lino runs down and hits past Kovar. It's 3 - 1 to the Millers, Foden hit a quality ball over the top, Hojlund picked it up and hit is past the goalkeeper after 39 minutes. It's 4 after 46 minutes, good passing from the Millers, Foden outwide to Becerra, he dribbles into the box and hits a low ball across goal where Hojlund was ready to hit in at the near post. Tapia comes off the bench to score again! Good passing from the Millers, Kimble who's filling in at DM hits a ball out right to Tapia who dribbles into the box and makes it 5 after 82 minutes. What a victory! 1st vs 2nd but it's going to be tough as we're away at the Bridge. Chelsea take the lead after a quick counter, Andrade plays through Ferguson who hits in after 40 minutes. Honestly, I have no idea how he's onside, he's not on in the VAR check! I think even Kovar though he was off and he didn't come out for it! We equalised after 43 minutes as Foden plays in Hojlund who strikes in. Fofana should have done much better! That is a huge mistake and it's 2 - 1 to the Millers after 46 minutes! It's passed back to Trubin, he passes out but his pass is awful, Hubana just hits it from 20 yards into the empty net, wow! It's 3 after 51 minute, absolutely brilliant from Hojlund as he steals the ball from a dawdling CB, dribbles half the pitch, he's tackled but Foden hits into the empty net. Just 2 minutes later Chelsea make it 2 - 3, Duranville hits in the corner, it's not cleared properly, Gallagher hits it and it goes through a sea of bodies into the net, Hubana could have done better to defend that. It's 4 to the Millers! Everytime Chelsea tackle us, we get the ball back, it's with Becerra out left, he crosses in and Hubana heads off the post and in! There's 8 minutes of added time!!! I have no idea what for! It's a very good victory in the end, finishing and mistakes were the difference. 1st vs 3rd but we're at home so I'd like to think we're favourites! Becerra has just come off with a lower leg injury, let's hope it isn't serious. That was a terrible first half, we didn't manage a shot on target, they managed one. It's 1 - 0 the Millers! A brilliant tackle from Bitshiabu, Phillips picks up, plays to Hubana who hits a ball over to the charging Hojlund, he picks up, shoots, it's off the 'keepers legs and in after 54 minutes. Brilliant counter! Instany reply from Spurs as Phillips heads in Pafundi's corner after 57 minutes. Hojlund should have give us the lead back but he headed a massive chance over! It's 1 - 1, Spurs were the better side but Hojlund should have won it for us. Having to rotate heavily against Leicester, Foden, Hubana, Hojlund and Juliao all need rest. Becerra is only out for 2 - 4 weeks thankfully. We're having so many shots and some good chances but we can't put the ball into the net! Hubana has come off the bench to head in after 83 minutes! Brilliant cross from youngster Tapia who's come on for Brown! Tapia really has been showing his stuff this month. More rotation against Wolves, we have some tired players! Gamal and Kossounou are back from AFCON though. We're ahead after just 7 minutes, brilliant ball through to Hubana, he strikes it, it's saved straight to Hojlund who hits into the net. Hubana doubles after 36 minutes, Foden plays a lovely ball over, Hubana beat the offside trap and hit past Soriano. There's a penaly shout and it's given! Foden steps up, it's hit the inside of the post and JUST goes over the line on the other side of the net! It's a bit lucky but it's 3 - 0 in the 43rd minute. Wolves have had a couple of good chances and they pull one back after Isaken plays it across goal and finds Letang who hits in after 53 minutes. It's 4 after 61 minutes! Foden takes a freekick, he plays it to Vivian who plays it on to Livramento who is onside and hits past the goalkeeper. Is that another penalty!? Phillips is down in the box and it is! Foden steps up again but it's saved! Hubana makes it 5 after 75 minutes! Tapia throws in to Miley, he crosses, it's not cleared, Hojlund heads back and Hubana beats Soriano to the ball and heads in. Wolves pull anothe rback after 88 minutes! We don't clear the corner properly, Beck picks up, passes to Isaksen who cuts in and curls it low past Kovar. That was a brilliant win, Soriano had to make so many saves, it could have been a cricket score. We're still unbeaten! Hubana and Foden are just so so so good. Champions League I have no idea how we didn't win this, we had so many chances. Thankfully Hojlund rescued a point. We have Arsenal and Barcelona still to play and they're tough games, we haven't had the best Champions League campaign this season. FA Cup Draw At home to Sheff Weds? Bring it on! Carabao Cup West Ham will be tough but we gotta beat the best to win competitions! Youth intake That could be an interesting intake with a CM, Fullback and a CB. Let's see what March/April brings. World Footballer Sorry, Foden who is Football of the Year and World Player of the Year only made the bench? WHAT!? Hubana is so good. He's got potential it seems to be the best striker in the world once Haaland retires. Next Month It's not the hardest month until our Champions League games, hoping we can get a Carabao Cup final. I need to bring some loan players back as they're not getting enough game time, I actually have 3 players at Burnley and 1 isn't getting any game time so I'm bringing all 3 back to spite them . We could see some movement, there's a CB who's keen to move, big clubs are interested and so am I.

November Could not ask for a better month!!! The second game of our double-header against Arsenal. It's Foden who puts us 1 - 0 up after 20 minutes, Livramento runs down the right, plays it to Juliao, he plays it low into the box and Foden finishes. Arsenal equalise after 58 minutes with Havertz heading in Odegaards corner. There's a 93rd minute goal... and it's to Rotherham! It's been 17 games since Arsenal have lost in the league and Pitchford just headed in Becerra's cross! We had so many chances to win this game and we so deserved that winner. I've had to rotate against Everton, Foden is too tired, Hubana isn't fully fit, Vivian is injured, it's going to be a tough match. We take the lead after 4 minutes, Juliao wins the ball, we counter, Boxall plays through Hojlund who hits in from a tight angle. That was pretty much the game, we had a couple of half chances, Everton didn't register a shot on target. We've lost Livramento for a month, it's a huge blow, especially since Gamal is away at the AFCON. Injuries and tiredness from the international break means I'm missing some key players against Manchester City. Youngster Kimble is having to start at RWB. Hubana goes superman! It's from a push and we've won a pen! Foden slots into the top corner after 21 minutes. To add to my injury list, Hubana has to be replaced as he has a knock. He did come back exhausted from international duty. We just scored such a good goal but Hojlund is just offside, that's gutting! Now Phillips has to come off as he's injured. A deserved win in the end, Kimble was brilliant at RWB! Phillips scored a 20 yarder to give us the lead against Fulham, finishing a brilliant attacking move after 35 minutes. Bitshiabu puts us 2 up after 43 minutes, heading in Hubana's corner. Foden makes it 3 after 44 minutes, brilliant attacking move again, Hubana cuts it back to Foden to strikes off the underside of the bar and in. Wilson Tapia after a MOTM display in the Champions League comes off the bench to score his first Rotherham goal after 74 minutes, he's only playing due to internationals/injuries/subs, he's my 4th RWB/LWB. That was a good solid win. We're flying high. Champions League Two much needed wins, considering how much we had to rotate against Olympiacos, that was a great win. The Best 50 Players We only have Foden, think it's harsh Becerra isn't in there. Hubana could be there in a couple of years, maybe even Juliao. This is Becerra: Next Month December is usually a good month for us! 9 games in 26 days, hopefully we'll give it our best!

October After the international break there was still about 9 days inbetween games so a friendly for fitness seemed like a good idea. We started the month losing Miley for 2 - 3 months which was a blow but we've been fine without so far. Anyway, to the games! That's a quality counter attack to give us the lead against Hull. Foden wins the ball back and plays it to Hubana, he dribbles half the length of the pitch and gives it back to Foden, Foden hits a quality ball over to find Hubana charging in, he collects and puts it in after 21 minutes. Could see that coming after it wasn't cleared very well, Hull equalise in the 30th minute with a curling effort from Edozie. Foden plays a quality ball through, Hojlund has the pace to beat his man and is taken down for it, it's a penalty to the Millers, Foden steps up and it's the top corner, we're back in the lead after 33 minutes. We're 3 - 1 up after 48 minutes but it's a total fluke, Phillips playes it to Becerra who shoots and it takes a massive deflection, the GK can't do anything about that. That's a brilliant attacking move from the Millers, Phillips plays in Juliao who makes it 4 - 1 after 57 minutes. It's 5 after 66 minutes, Hojlund heads in Hubanas freekick. This is brilliant from the Millers, such good passing, Foden to Hojlund who makes it 6 after 75 minutes. It's another Millers pen and Hojlund is taking for a chance of his hat-trick. He hits low and past Cox to make it 7 after 88 minutes. Cox has made some incredible saves in the depth of the game to deny an even bigger scoreline! What a game! Our xG was 5.01! That's a first for me! Even though we're battering Southampton, they take the lead in bizzare fasion, Moder crosses it following a cleared corner and he mishits it into the bottom corner, total fluke but it's in after 22 minutes. Brown with a cross, it's not cleared by Soton and Hubana picks up to hit in after 32 minutes. We make it 1 - 2 to the Millers, Vivian founds Boxall who runs into the box, crosses in and Hojlund heads past Kelleher after 54 minutes, about time we've had enough chances. It's a red card to the Millers seconds later as Theate is sent off for a 2nd yellow. Juliao makes it 1 - 3 to the Millers even with 10 men, a brilliant through ball from Boxall, Juliao is free to hit in after 65 minutes. Brilliant win, especially when we went down to 10. Still nicely top of the summit. He's giving me a proper selection headache whether I should be playing him or Gamal at DM. Carbao Cup The scoreline absolutely flatters us, Arsenal should have taken the lead early on the difference in the first half was Phil Foden, he was unplayable. It was such a tight game until I made subs in the 70th minute bringing a couple of youth on etc and we seemed to do better! At home against Villa, we can win this. Champions League Coming off the back of a 7 - 1 win, I didn't change my side and we struggled to break Celtic down. They had possession, didn't do alot with it but we managed to get a win. World Golden Ball So close for Foden! Maybe next year! Youth development I didn't know buying youth players so they're HG between 18 and 21 counted . Next Month Big league games, we need to keep winning in the Champions League, need to keep our form going.

September Not the loss I was expecting but a very solid month in the league. Pitchford gets the nod to start against Spurs, hopefully he can prove me right with his pace. Spurs take the lead after 16 minutes, Kulusevski cuts in and I think it's a deflection? Kossounou might have locked Kovars vision or it's just poor from Kossounou which isn't the first time this season? I can't tell but Kossonou dropped to a 6.4. We should have equalised but Pitchford mistimed his run and is offside, that's poor. Hubana is coming on at half time, we've been awful. Is that a pen? Porro pushed Hojlund who looked like he was about to head in and it's a second yellow for Porro, he's off after 52 minutes! Foden steps up.. and he HAMMERs that it, sheer power! 53 minutes it's 1 - 1 and we need to take advantage of 10 men. It's a fluke goal but we're 1 - 2 up after 64 minutes! Foden loses the ball but it's to Gamal, he shoots and it's a deflection in! Not sure how Foden got an assist for that! What a ball from Archie Brown, he came on for Kossonou at half time, he plays it over, Hojlund collects and plays it to Foden to hit in after 72 minutes, 1 - 3! Is that another penalty!? Boxall is back from injury and has just replaced Foden, so it's Hubana to take the pen! He steps up and it's past McKenna in the 81st minute, 1 - 4! What a second half! We're at home to Liverpool but Echerverri is against us and he loves a goal against The Millers. It's the Millers that take the lead! Bitshiabu is back from injury and heads in Gamals corner after 21 minutes! It's that man again, Hubana makes it 2 - 0! The ball is cleared by Liverpool, Kossounou hits a ball back over, Foden collects, hits across goal and Hubana charges in and nods it past Kobel after 30 minutes. Vivian makes it 3 after 70 minutes! Heading in Hubana's freekick. Good quick attacking from the Millers! MacDonald through to Miley, he's tackled but Hubana hits it first time and it's 4 after 82 minutes. Hubana feels like a cheat code right now. Liverpool started well but they ended up with 0 shots on target! After our loss to Dinamo we're away at 2nd in the league Manchester United. Ha! I shouted out WHAT when I saw Manchester United had a potential penalty after what looked like a good tackle, it was and it was no pen! That is a shocking clearence from Bitshiabiu, Garnacho heads it, it hits off Livramento into the path of Kroupi to make it 1 - 0 to Man Utd, there was some luck involved there! IS THAT MACDONALD!? Vivian hits a freekick, MacDonald my youth player is onside, uses his pace and hits it first time to equalise after 91 minutes!!! Hojlund missed a sitter and then went off injured, his normal replacement Flores is also injured so that's a huge goal from MacDonald! Still nicely at the summit. Carabao Cup Brentford were good in the first half and could have scored more. Thankfully we came out in the second looking like we wanted it. Away at Arsenal, probably the most difficult tie I could have got but we did hammer them not too long ago and we've had cup success again them in the past when Boxall scored 4 past them. Champions League Pitchford was sent off for a scissor tackle, we were still the better team, I should have made subs earlier as it was my youngster uptop on his own for a good 60 minutes. Their GK was MOTM and you just knew they were gonna get a goal. International Debut Bordalas is an odd one. Phillips doesn't get call up anymore, Pitchford doesn't get a call up anymore, both World Cup winners, but my CB/RB who's barely played this season due to injury and is my 3rd RWB and 6th CB, yep, he's now an England international. Next Month Hoping this is going to be a green month, I have to beat Celtic as my girlfriends Dad is a Rangers fan . We also need to get points after the Dinamo loss.

August I couldn't ask for a better month, 4 league wins and 2 trophies, just brilliant. We start the season away at Norwich! Foden is injured, Miley is recovering from a knock and only makes the bench so it's Boxall who gets a chance to show us what we can do. Becerra is tripped and we win a penalty after just 4 minutes, Hojlund steps up and hits in the bottom corner. Norwich equalise after 11 minues though! A brilliant long ball from Yazbek finds Soonsup-Bell to hits in, Bitshiabu is playing him onside. We restore the lead after 21 minutes, Livramento throws in, we play it round, Juliao drives it into the box and plays a square ball to Becerra who is free and slots in. It's 3 after 35 minutes, Becerra curls in a cross and Pitchford heads in. Archie Brown who's actually on at CB sets up Juliao with a ball across goal to make it 4 after 86 minutes. In the end it was a great win and Norwich were lucky we only scored 4, we had so many chances. A few tired players and a few injuries so we've rotated a little against Palace but we're at home and should win. We finally take the lead after 39 minutes, some great passing, Gamal hits it to Hojlund who flicks in the path of Hubana to strike low past the keeper. Hojlund makes it 2 after 58 minutes, Hubana hits in the frekick, Kossounou heada cross goal and Hojlund heads in. Not our best day in front of goal but a win is a win, it took Palace 88 minutes to have their first shot and they didn't manage one on target. Great in that aspect, we just had alot of chances. Newcastle take the lead after just 4 minutes. Timber plays in Tonali who makes Kossounou looks like a mug, he shoots, it's off the woodwork and in. We've been poor but Foden is there two recieve and play in every other pass, we attack down the left, Hojlund plays it to Juliao and it's 1 - 1 after 38 minutes, that was class from Foden. Hubana comes off the bench to make it 1 - 2 to the Millers, Miley hits in the corner, Hubana heads it at goal, Grabara saves with his palms and spills it, Hubana strikes it into the bottom corner after 73 minutes. That's brilliant from Miley, he plays through Hojlund who hits in to make it 1 - 3. Is it a foul? Becerra goes to shoot but seems to be pushed off the ball and we have a pen in the 93rd minute, Hubana steps up and it's slotted into the bottom corner, 1 - 4! Hubana might be starting against Brighton. I can't remember the last time I had to sub off 2 CBs for underperforming but the changes worked. Hubana strikes again, he puts us 1 - 0 up after 22 minutes. Foden loses out to Gilmour but his second attempt finds Hubana in the box who hits in. Flores makes it 2 in the 92nd minute after a brilliant passs from Hubana, he dribbles down and slots in, he should have put us 2 up earlier so glad he's made up and got us out of sight as Brighton were pushing for the equaliser and forced some good saves from Kovar. Usually when we break a record we lose right after, hopefully this time we don't . We're top but we did have four easy opening games. Hubana has just been class. Carabao Cup Draw Would have like a non-Prem team or to be at home but we should be able to rotate our squad and still win. Champions League Draw Not the worst draw, Bayer, Arsenal and Barcelona are all difficult teams to play, especially with two of those games being away but we know we can beat them. Deadline Day Nothing to see here . I've been scouting, I can't improve. It's either players I can't fit in due to then reducing playing time for youth that can improve or CBs that would improve the team that cost silly money and no one wants my CBs so it just doesn't work. We have a good enough squad anyway. This is what I mean by silly money, 186mil on 1 player is madness! We're still only 9th in the wage table, I thought we'd be higher by now. Incase I need to make any chances in January, we have some money spare . Next Month Some nice cup games but that's a difficult league run, we'll do well to come out of that with 3 wins.

Uefa Super Cup We've just won our opening game 4 - 1 and Spurs have just beat West Ham of all teams 4 - 0. This is going to be a tough game! Foden is back, I think we're favourites. Rotherham United kick off the first half. 9th minute: Bitshiabu goes close, heading over Fodens corner. 13th minute: Kossounou heads at goal but Kotarski saves. He throws out and Spurs look to attack, Mainoo plays in Sarr and it's 1 - 0 Spurs! 19th minute: Chol-Min crosses and Pedrola heads just wide! Let off for the Millers. 26th minute: It's Vivian scoring his first ever Rotherham goal! Gamal hits in the corner, it's hit out by Spurs but it's straight to Juliao, he plays ot to Kossounou who plays it to Vivian on the edge of the box. Vivian dribbles in, shoots on his weak foot and it's off the post and in! 1 - 1! It's even at the end of the first half. Tottenham Hotspur kick off the second half. 58th minute: Pedrola cuts in and shoots over! Close again! Think we need some subs, Foden is having a shocker. 60th minute: Brown, Theate, Phillips and Miley replace Bitshiabu, Beccera, Gamal and Foden. 70th minute: Our final sub as Flores replaces Hojlund. 90+4: There's a very late goal! And it's the same combo as the Norwich game meaning it's a Rotherham goal!!! Good passing and Brown crosses in from the left and Juliao hits in!!! We've won the Uefa Super Cup! What a close game!

Community Shield We've won the Community Shield 4 times in 4 attempts and 4 in a row, can we make it 5? City are a very difficult team to beat, in our last match I lost to them in the FA Cup. We both have our first eleven out! Should make a good game! Manchester City kick off the first half. 5th minute: Foden hits in the corner, City head out, Gamal hits back in, Meslier doesn't catch it, Hojlund has a free header and he headed over! Big miss! 8th minute: Bitshiabu heads in Fodens corner this time though, 1 - 0 Millers. 9th minute: He does it again . 2 - 0 Millers. 21st minute: City block to deny Pitchford, Foden corner and Meslier makes a huge save to deny Bitshiabu, Foden in again but City clear. 24th minute: We're passing well, Foden plays in Hojlund and that's a big save from Meslier! We hit in the corner and it's cleared. 31st minute: Brilliant passing from the Millers, being patient and waiting for space, Becerra finishes off the move by playing in Hojlund who hits in to make it 3. Honestly, he looks offside to me but we'll take it! 33rd minute: City pull one back after Musiala hits in a 20 yard low drive, Kovar will want that one back. 43rd minute: Foden hits a free kick but it's straight into the wall, Juliao collects, we pass it around, Foden on the right, plays it across goal and Hojlund hits in to make it 4 - 1! Rotherham United kick off. 47th minute: Ball plays in Haaland and that's a great save from Kovar to deny! 58th minute: Close for City! Musiala tries a curling effort, I thought it was the top corner but it's just wide of the post! 72nd minute: Boxall and Hubana replace Juliao and Pitchford. 80th minute: Theate, Phillips and MacDonald replace Kossounou, Livramento and Foden. 82nd minute: Kone goes for a long shot and it's only just over! 90th minute: Brilliant counter from Rotherham, Hubana brings it down, plays a one two, plays in Boxall who strikes wide! He could of made it 5! 5 in a row. Honestly, I think Kovar will be my #1 until he gets too old which I don't think I'll be playing this save that long .

Season 9 - 2031/2032 This has been a really boring pre-season. I can't find youngsters to bring in but I don't really want to right now due to having some good youngsters I've loaned out and a couple I've kept to actually play, the squad is quite full, even after a couple of big sales I have players already to replace so I've bought no one. I've made a couple of backroom changes but nothing noteworthy. It's been pretty much press continue. The only noteworthy is that grey players are back in certain national teams due to the update and I forgot to sort that out when the new patch hit the other day, oh well. Transfers I couldn't turn that sort of money down for Gray as he was now my 5th MC. Gyokeres was declining and I wanted him off the wage bill. Everyone else has gone out to play football. That's about it. I don't think any other changes will be made unless someone wants to come in for Theate but my original CB target has already moved and I don't know much of an upgrade he'd of been. We have a brilliant team, we're Champions of Europe and we've won the Prem 5 times in a row. Not until we get proper funding through ya know, ticket sales through the new stadium like I keep banging on about etc can I splash silly cash on players. We're in good shape, it'll probably do for this season. We'd make so much more money! International Goal He's scored plenty here but it's nice to see Kossounou who's got interest from Saudi get his first goal, I'm not looking to sell but I'd probably be able to replace if they came in. Season Start We have two trophies to try and win but not a bad league start at all. We'll see how August treats us and to see if we need to improve. I do have a transfer budget of 167mil and 600k wages if I need.
