ManUtd1 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Enjoying this, @Northernpilgrim. Hopefully your leg up on the big guns will come in handy...United and Arsenal not wasting any time, though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter_Morgan Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Tough that United won it straight away, i'd have thought the big clubs would have lost more than they did as well which definitely makes it harder for you A good run in Europe will be a big bonus though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernpilgrim Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 February's results weren't great, and look to have extinguished any hope of improving our league position, although we remain in Europe after a scare in Croatia and as you can see, the title looks to be heading to Man Utd. To be fair, they deserve it, having failed to win only twice all season, and conceding just one goal in the whole campaign Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be another Premier League champion promoted for next season as well, so it very much looks as though the top division will have a familiar look to it in a couple more years.

Northernpilgrim Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Just three games, and only one in the league, in March and that win sees us up to third, and qualified for the Champions League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernpilgrim Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Two wins out of two in April but confirmation that one of Man Utd or Arsenal will be Champions, meaning I can no longer complete the objective I set myself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northernpilgrim Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Chelsea will also be added to the list of Premier League winners in the top flight, so next season it will only get harder. I'm going to keep going, but I might look to leave Stoke for one of the other teams if the opportunity arises Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northernpilgrim Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Just two games in August, and although we've ended up with the points total I expected, the results were certainly not what I planned for, and I ended up disappointed we didn't get the full advantage from an unexpected win and the table looks like this, although with only two games gone it means very little Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernpilgrim Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Our Champions League group has been drawn, and it's almost as tough as they come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernpilgrim Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 September was also inconsistent, but we got a couple of big wins. If we'd beaten Wolves I'd have been far happier but it was enough to climb away from the relegation places and into the European places Our Champions League group looks like this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northernpilgrim Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'm clearly not going to win the league with Stoke now, and in any event the stated aim of the challenge can no longer be achieved, so I've decided to quit as Potters manager, holiday to the end of the season, then produce one final set of league tables Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernpilgrim Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 And here are those final tables, with another real life Premier League winner claiming this season's title and another gaining promotion to the top division Northwich Victoria drop out of the league and Wigan romp to the National League title Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
