Premier League and European Results 2010 — 2011

Hello my friends! After finishing my first season with Vauxhall Motors FC I thought about having a look at what happened on the bigger stage during the season in which we struggled to get out of Blue Square North and make a step up the divisional ladder. Then I thought that some of you might share my curiosity so I’ll post the major events of the 2010/2011 season in the Premier League and European football here.

Before moving on we have to look at 2010’s awards, the FIFA World Player of the Year award went to Lionel Messi! I couldn’t agree more with that although he might not receive the award in real-life this year.

Four Barcelona players made it into the World Team of the Year while Frank Lampard was the only Premier League player that was picked into the best eleven.

On to the Premier League then, guess who won it in 2011? That’s right, Chelsea :( Liverpool finished as surprising runners-up while Everton did very well to finish in the top six.

The Premier League team of the season had no less than five Chelsea players in it but the biggest surprise is Fulham‘s Bobby Zamora who netted 27 goals in the Premiership!

Nottingham Forest made a superb Carling Cup run and managed to reach the final but they were beaten by Manchester United. Johnny Evans bagged a brace in that game, have a look at the highlights!

Manchester United won the FA Cup as well after beating Wolves in the final with Javier Hernandez scoring the winning goal.

The Europa League saw Atletico Madrid going all the way to the final again but this time it was Italian side Napoli who won the trophy after coming back from one goal behind.

The Champions League final was a nervy affair between Jose Mourinho‘s Real Madrid and Lyon. Real were down to 10 men after only 17 minutes but they held firm and grabbed the trophy after the penalty shoot-out.

I hope that you have enjoyed this quick and rather unusual update, now I’ll go back to finding players who might be willing to sign contracts of under 250 pounds per week at Vauxhall Motors FC :)
