Right guys, before I start this story I want to make one thing clear - I will not be continuing my Newcastle story as I really couldn't get motivated enough to play it again, and therefore deleted it. I was really excited when I started it, but I got bored in the end. There, I said it. Just being honest

Anyway, a new story starts and this time it's with Espanyol, trying to bring trophies to the club. (By the way, I want to thank Joe - formerly known as GaboneseTiger - for selecting this team for me. Thanks Joe!

)

These are my transfers, in and out:

The opening 5 fixtures have served me well, unbeaten so far. Good results against At. Madrid and Sevilla, and maybe even Tenerife away as odds were stacked heavily against me.

NOVEMBER

1.11.09: Real Madrid 5 : 2 ESPANYOL – Kaka (pen 12), K. Benzema (14), X. Alonso (35), Raul (76), Pepe (87) : J. Verdu (49), R. Tamudo (79)
7.11.09: ESPANYOL 2 : 2 Barcelona – N. Pareja (55), B. Sahar (75) : L. Messi (17, 47)
11.11.09 (Spanish Cup 4th Round Leg 2): ESPANYOL 4 (7) : (5) 3 Real Betis – M. Hurtado (59), Luis Garcia (pen 90+1), N. Pareja (97), A. Karamyan (103) : W. Ponce (50), M. Pavone (51), D. Rivas (82)
18.11.09: Athletic Bilbao 1 : 1 ESPANYOL – C. Gurpegi (88) : S. Nakamura (18)

29.11.09: ESPANYOL 1 : 0 Malaga – N. Pareja (56)

A very disappointing month, managing only one win. Very, very pleased with the home draw vs. Barca, but the rest is just shameful. The win against Malaga was the first in 5 games.

fausto pinto is a very wise purchase indeed. can see that you're on the right track to guide espanyol into a big-name team

Thanks dude, means so much

lol I also bought Mora (GK) as backup for free, but because I could only register 3 'foreign' players I chose Pinto, Karamyan (consistent ML) and someone else, can't remember lol

Joe · 07/12/2009 #20 Joe Modern Day Legend

id have chosen nakamura mate, im playing as espanyol in a net game, i signed peter masilela, vincent enyeama, and some mexican dm as my signings,

Mike · 07/12/2009 #21 Mike D/WB R, DM, AMC

That's it, Nakamura lol! His long shots and free kicks are absolutely amazing!

stigen · 07/12/2009 #22 stigen First Team

weak month of you mate, good draw against rivals barcelona tought

Yep, very disappointing. Hoping to bounce back now this month. Still room for improvement everywhere, so I'm going to get that sorted hopefully.

Mike · 07/12/2009 #24 Mike D/WB R, DM, AMC

DECEMBER

5.12.09: Real Zaragoza 2 : 2 ESPANYOL – Gabi (15), I. Uche (57) : J. Verdu (7),V. Laguardia O.G. (21)
13.12.09: Valencia 1 : 0 ESPANYOL – D. Villa (83)
20.12.09: ESPANYOL 1 : 2 Valladolid – B. Sahar (44) : Manucho (57), F. Canobbio (74)

Yet another disappointing month, failing to win in all three games. A personal message has come to me that if I don’t beat Villarreal then my position at the club will be terminated.

unluck last month mate but u are doing well, dont remember them that high up in table

Mike · 07/12/2009 #26 Mike D/WB R, DM, AMC

Updates of January and hopefully February later, I have footy training now. Have around 6 games this month to impress, I've already been told 3 times I may be sacked if I don't perform well.

Mike · 08/12/2009 #27 Mike D/WB R, DM, AMC

JANUARY

3.1.2010: ESPANYOL 4 : 0 Villarreal – R. Tamudo (15), B. Sahar (19), N. Pareja (39), J. Verdu (64)
7.1.10 (Spanish Cup 5th Round Leg 1): ESPANYOL 1 : 1 Valencia – R. Tamudo (17) : N. Zigic (89)
10.1.10: Racing 2 : 1 ESPANYOL – S. Appiah (1), A. Geijo (33) : B. Sahar (62)
13.1.10 (Spanish Cup 5th Round Leg 2): Valencia 2 (3) : (1) 0 ESPANYOL – D. Villa (21), Joaquin (88)
16.1.10: Athletico Madrid 0 : 2 ESPANYOL – S. Nakamura (pen 39), B. Sahar (83)
24.1.10: ESPANYOL 0 : 0 Athletic Bilbao
31.1.10: ESPANYOL 4 : 0 Real Mallorca – S. Nakamura (26, 44, 45+2) D. Aouate O.G. (57)

A very satisfying month seeing as last month was crap and we had 5 league matches and 2 cup games which I really wasn't bothered about. Two fantastic 4-0 wins (both at home) and a fantastic away win at Athletico Madrid, you'll probably all agree
