The MLS is great fun! Columbus finished 4th after winning my last 2 "must win" games at home to make the playoffs. I like the voting for Player, Rookie, Goalkeeper, Defender etc of the year. We'll see how I do in the playoffs now. My plan is to spend 4 or 5 seasons in the MLS, trhen look for a job in England.

Answered my striker problems by signing Hugo Rodallega from Nexica from Mexico. He is a Columbian with speed and strength and scored 32 in 34 last season. On his debut he scored twice in a friendly against Hearts.
Despite being knocked out of the Conference League Cup by Northwich, I managed to go back top of the Conference before losing to Burton and Histon to drop to 5th and 5 points adrift.
Finished 4th after losing to Tottenham on last day of the season, and that meant Tottenham finished 3rd, with Arsenal finish top, with United about 10points behind. However, new season, i signed Mascherano and Vargas as well as selling N'Zogbia. A stronger side, currently towards end of November, sitting 2nd,a point behind Arsenal going strong. Media only expects me to finish 4th so doing well. Hoping to do a few more seasons with City, win a fair few more trophies and then leave, and either go to another club in a different country or join a lower premiership/top championship club and see were it goes.

Going into last game of season against West Brom needing to win to claim Premiership for 2nd season in a row. A Draw will leave me level with Arsenal who have a superior GD (Scored 92 goals in 38 games!).
West Brom are 18th and relegated.
Yes, there will be goals...hopefully

my problem at the moment with my Newcastle side is one of consistancy. We went from thumping Liverpool 5-1 to barely scraping a 2-0 win (an own goal and a slightly dubious penalty) at home in the champs league against a club called metalist (no, i've not heard of them either)
still laughing at chelsea paying me £5million for owen in the jan window last year. he's still not managed to score a goal for them

A win, two draws and a defeat to open the season for AFC Wimbledon, so steady away as I look to build the squad.
Got a couple of decent loan signings in from Southend and QPR to add some quality, let them blend into the squad before I start tinkering with it again.
Playing 4-3-1-2 on the basis I haven't got any decent wingers, so dragged the pitch down to minimum width to stop teams getting at us down the flanks.
