As it's the end of the season, as you all know there is an end of season summary. Telling you who won what, who came up, who went down, the best buys, the worst buys etc. Well, here it is!
Here is my personal Confidence summary of the season:
Premier League Summary:
Football Manager 2013: My Season as Arsenal
Sunday, 5 May 2013
Summer Transfers!
UCL Final: Manchester United (N)
Today is the last game of the season, and the biggest. The board were "happy" that I won the league, and got a 5 year extension to my contract! Looks like I'll be an Arsenal manager for a while now. My friend not only got Portsmouth promoted, but won the League 1 title too!
So here we are. Wembley. The arena where dreams really do come true. In real life, I went there to see Swansea City FC beat Reading FC in the Championship Play-Off Final 3 years ago. What. An. Atmosphere!
Back to the world of FM, well, this game is huge. And due to the week's rest from the last game, the team are fit and ready, barring those lads that are REALLY injured.
Cazorla not long back from injury so doesn't feature. No Zieler either so drafted in Damian Martinez, a good young keeper!
GAME ON!!!
29m: What a SCREAMER! Good passing eventually gets to Walcott on the right hand side of the box, and he takes a first time shot and it beats De Gea and drifts beautifully into the top left corner of the net! 1-0
34m: Lovely counter attack leads to Fellaini sliding the ball to Giroud, who beats his marker and smacks the ball into the net to become the tournament's leading goalscorer! 2-0
37m: Relatively instant riposte from United, sees Giggs thump home a 4 yard shot from a Kagawa cross. 2-1
42m: Typical. Cassani gets too agitated and receives his second yellow in only the first half. Change of formation to a 3 at the back, with Fellaini dropping to the DM position as an Anchor. Ox goes to CM with Garmash. Also changed focus to "Counter".
HT
46m: Fellaini passes to Denys, who lifts a ball to Theo, heads down to Giroud on the half volley... GOOAOAOAL!!! 3-1
53m: Theo screams down the right wing and gets to the by-line, distributes the cross and who's there picking up his hat-trick?! OLIVIER GIROUD!!! 4-1
57m: CONTAIN!!!
75m: Theo is knackered, bless him! Really put himself on the line for this one. Cristian Tello comes on for him.
84m: Wellington Nem is even more tired than Theo was! On comes Wilshere.
90m: Doesn't really matter now, but Vidic is sent off for a 2nd yellow.
FT
AND THAT'S THE GAME!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
CHAMPIONE CHAMPIONE OLE OLE OOOOOOOLLLLLLEEEEEEEE!!!

Final game of the season and I'm going in as champions! *SIGH* That's a relaxed sigh...
Decided to go for some young players in the line-up, including Conor Henderson who has impressed on recent loan spells at Portsmouth!

BPL Game 36: QPR (H)
Need to keep up the winning form, especially as it's so close to the end of the season.
Despite him not being 100%, Giroud starts and hopefully his form carries him on!

FT
Maintain my 2 point lead at the top of the Prem! :D

UCL Semi Final: Chelsea (H) - Second Leg
Currently hold a 3-0 away goal lead over Chelsea, and to be honest, I'm thinking of just shutting out the game. Get 1 or 2 goals up and then just stop everything coming back.
The winner will go up against Manchester United after they defeated AC Milan 4-1 (5-2 on aggregate)! What a chance!!!

GAME ON!!!
11m: A lovely counter and Fellaini gives it to Cazorla, who passes to Giroud who is through on goal. First shot beats the keeper but not the post, but he's first to the rebound. Self assist! Taps into an empty net. 1-0
21m: After winning the ball, Santi plays a nice pass to Fellaini, who in turn slides a lovely through ball to Giroud in front of goal, makes no mistake and doubles his tally on the night and the lead. 2-0. 5-0 on aggregate!
HT
50m: After some frantic defending from several corners, Ivanovic has it in the box. Foolishly, Cassani slides in and fouls him. Penalty. Lampard steps up and the inevitable happens. 2-1
62m: As Santi and Ramsey have picked up knocks, I've decided to bring them off, just in case they get worse. Coquelin comes in for Aaron, and Theo is on for Santi.
68m: Mata's corner finds Torres in the 6 yard area and he smashes a shot into the net. 2-2 on the night, but still 5-2 on aggregate.
69m: And to make matters worse, Wilshere is injured! On comes the Ox.
75m: Lampard makes it 3-2 on the night, but it's not enough.
FT
Aggregate win. 5-3. Off now to Wembley to face Man Utd!
