SRL88 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 SRL88's Career - August 2037 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga A pretty solid start for us in the league, despite the fact that we havent yet got anywhere near top gear. We started the season with a comfortable 1-0 win over Rostok, but had to rely on a Lima free-kick from 25 yards to give us all three points. Kaiserslautern gave us a very tough game in our next encounter and we trailed for much of the game, but Bar popped up late in the game to snatch a point for us. The Dortmund game typified our games against each other last season. It was a very tight game with very few clear cut chances and on reflection, 0-0 was probably a fair result. We rounded the month off with a much needed win over Koln. Champions League Best Placed Play-Off Round Who has two thumbs and a huge smile on his face? I DO!!!!!!!!!!! What a bloody performance we put in over the two-legs. I took inspiration from my time at Boca where we did all the hard work in the first leg at home with a brilliant display to win 3-0. In Paris we just saw the game out, but Lima put it beyond doubt with our 4th goal over the two legs. PSG levelled it on the night but it had no effect as we stormed our way into the Group Stage.

SRL88 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Group Stage Draw I couldnt have asked for a better draw in all honesty. Yeah Palermo are probably head & shoulders better than anyone in the group, but I see no reason why we cant sneak into second place, and certainly no reason why we shouldnt at least finish 3rd.

noikeee Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Quality job last season to have lifted the cup and qualified for the CL with Gladbach on the first season. Even better to beat PSG in the playoffs and confirm the CL presence which will be an hugely important financial boost. Keep pushing but don't be complacent because I would be a little suspicious with that group, no giant clubs but dangerous sides in Palermo and Spartak.

We played really well and to walk away with a 2-2 draw was a very nice thing to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 SRL88's Career - September 2037 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga A very good month which was slightly tarnished by a late, late defeat to Hannover. We're still sat nicely in the table and its only the second month of the season so I am still pretty happy. We started with a comfortable 3-1 win over over Wolfsburg before a trip to Hoffenheim which saw us put an awe inspiring away day performance as we controlled the game and managed to score a very good 1-0 win. We didnt deserve to lost against Hannover, but as I said it was a very late goal which beat us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 September 2037 - Continued Champions League Well I couldnt have asked for a better start to our European campaign now could I?!?! We put in two fantastic performances to get us off to the best possible start. We dominated from start to finish against Olympiakos and it could have been much more. We were given a tougher game in Russia but we were brilliant and Popa popped up (see the pun there) to grab the only goal of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 SRL88's Career - October 2037 - Cyprus World Cup Qualifers I am reletively pleased with the way we ended our qualifying campaign in retrospect. We breezed past Azerbaijan with a very nice 6-1 victory. The Turkey game was so entertaining that despite the fact that I was in charge of one of the teams, it was such an enjoyable game to watch. We took the lead, they equilised and then it was just end-to-end. Sadly though, as we were on the attack and on two ocassions they hit us on the counter and scored two goals pretty late on in the game. It was such a shame because I really thought we could have won the game and pipped them into third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Well I enjoyed this while it lasted.

We started with a superb performance and result at home to Schalke. We were 3rd and 4th respectively at the time of the game and we completely dominated from start to finish. We were outplayed away to Leverkusen in our next game and 2-0 was the least they deserved. It was a definite case of get home as quick as we can. We managed to finish off with a hard fought 2-1 win over Bochum which saw us score a last minute goal that delighted me due to the fact that our opponents injured 3 of our players.

We followed this up with a Geoff McAllister inspired performance as we played our Greek opponents off the park and won 4-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
