Newcastle press on into 2010!

Hello again, and welcome to my Newcastle story. It has been a while since I have posted and I would like to apologize for that, it is just that I have been very busy recently doing things in my real life. Anyway, I am back playing Football Manager now and I will give you my next update with Newcastle!

My last post was about my League cup quarter-final against Man Utd and I have played quite a few matches after that. Here are the results:

I have been in great form, losing only against Aston Villa in the FA Cup. It was almost impossible to defend against them, so it shows I will need a lot of new players when I get into the Premier League. I was also very happy with our league form, winning all our games apart from a draw against a good Reading side. Also, I am very happy about my first leg result against Bolton, a 2-0 victory! It was a superb result against a tough Premier League team :) It sets up the 2nd leg well and I really want to proceed to the final…..

The Championship seems pretty much won now and most of the games are easy, and that shows in the table.

I am a huge 18 points ahead 2nd place with 20 games left, and I am extremely confident that we will get promoted.

I also have made some transfers in the January transfer window, selling Mike Williamson and Fabrice Pancrate, bringing in 1.4million much needed pounds to help with our very poor finances. I brought in a couple of youngsters that are poor and they were poor signings by me, so  there is not much point in showing them. My transfers in the future wil be better! :)

Anyway, that is my post to update you with my Newcastle story and I hope you have enjoyed reading it.

Thank you,

Calum.
