August We start the season away at Spurs which is not the easiest of games. Spurs took the lead after 29 minutes, Pedrola cut in, dribbled past his man and hit across goal for Kuluvsevki to finish. Gyokeres came off the bench to equalise after 63 minutes, Miley collected a loose ball after Phillips had been tackled, chipped over to Livramento who headed on and Gyokeres volleyed in. We made it 2 in the 85th minute, Bitshiabu headed in Pitchford's corner. That was a game of two halves, Spurs better first, we were much better second. Manchester City have a manager this time compared to last years FA Cup Final, Diego Simeone is in charge. Will he be the one to lead City to a Premiership title win they haven't won it since 2023/2024? They did win 4 in a row like we've just done. A brilliant counter attack saw us take the lead in the 41st minute. City have passed round the back then attacked down the left, Becerra cleared, Pitchford picked up and played it back to Theate, he's dribbled forward, played it to Juliao, he's been patient and then played a fantastic ball through to Gyokeres who squared it to Pitchford to hit into an open goal. City should have equalised but Haaland is offside, the best striker in the world should be making a better run then that! We made it 2 after 55 minutes with some superb passing! Becerra threw in, Miley, Gamal and Becerra have passed around the left, Becerra then plays it through to Miley who's made a run it, he's chipped it to Juliao who volleyed in. So close to 3! More brilliant passing but our end result is the post! I actually really dislike the way Manchester City are taking freekicks, it leaves them open to pressing teams with the way they pass round the back between CBs and DM in such a compact space. Great win, we were the better side, City did have one good chance but Kovar made a good save. Foden slotted straight into the first 11 against Everton. It took 3 minutes for him to assist on his debut, Kossounou heading in his corner. We doubled in the 64th minute after Pitchford finished off a good move after Hojlund has played it across goal for him to hit in. Hojlund made it 3 after 82 minutes, Miley hit a long shot, it's smashed the post and Hojlund was there to hit in. He got himself a brace after a long ball from Theate, Pitchford dribbled down and played it across goal for Hojlund to hit in. We were class! 4.30xG! A rival game at home to Leeds. We took the lead after 13 minutes, Phillips scoring his first Rotherham goal after hitting a curling effort from outside the box. Leeds equalised after 58 after a freekick, Sinisterra passted it Prout, he took on his man and hit past Kovar. Pitchford equalised just 2 minutes later though, Foden hit in a freekick, Kossounou headed back for the charging Pitchford to hit in after 60 minutes. Foden made it 3 after 76 minutes, Gray passed a freekick to Flores, he's passed back, Gray played it down the left to Foden, he picked it up and hit it in. Nice win! Carabao Cup Draw Would of liked an easier draw! Champions League Draw Some difficult fixtures. Atletico, Inter and PSG. We'll give it our best! Deadline Day Okay so I've tied all my players down to new contracts, I wasn't planning on bringing in any other players and then Diego Simeone signed the CM I was half tempted by and put.... Phil Foden up for transfer... How could I not!? Yes, the wages are ALOT, so much more than I'd like to pay for a player but he's absolutely world class, fits straight into the LCM slot of my tactic, has better corners and free kick taking than anyone else. It's a HUGE signing. Torino shocked me! But they did spend 34mil on Lopez from me. Our wages are increasing but our team is amazing. Next Month That run! Inter, Arsenal, Atletico and Manchester United! We'll have to be at our best!

Community Shield Arsenal are a tough team to beat but we can win here. We've been in the Community Shield 3 times and won all 3. Can we make it 4 out of 4? The line ups: Both teams are going for it with those starting 11's. Arsenal kick off the first half. 3rd minute: That's some great passing and movement from the Millers. Becerra plays it into Hojlund and Ramsdale has to make a big save. Pitchford takes the corner and it's headed out. 6th minute: Odegaard takes a corner for Arsenal and Havertz heads in. 1 - 0 to the Gunners. 17th minute: Arsenal we defending well, Hojlund has a chance but he's offside. 30th minute: Livramento has a knock so Trilli replaces. 34th minute: Juliao wins the ball back, Kossounou hits it long and finds Pitchford, he hits it past Ramsdale and it's 1 - 1. It's a debut goal! 37th minute: Big chance for Hojlund but he hits wide. It's half time and I'm not sure how we're not winning. We kick off the second half. 50th minute: A last ditch effort see's a huge block to deny Hojlund, Arsenal try and counter but we deal with it. 59th minute: Tomiyasu blocks a great effort from Pitchford and we win a corner. Pitchford takes and we win another. Pitchford again and it's headed out. 62nd minute: Gray and Flores are replacing Miley and Hojlund, Hojlund is on a 6.1 . Too many missed chances. 72nd minute: Theate and Boxall come on to hopefully make the difference. Juliao and Bitshaibu make way. 72nd minute: A quick counter from the Millers, Flores plays it through to Pitchford who dribbles all the way down and Ramsdale makes a huge save to deny. 76th minute: Phillips replaces Gamal. Can we win this game? 92nd minute: A very poor pass from Phillips and Arsenal counter, Kovar makes a huge save and Arsenal win a corner. Odegaard takes and we Phillips clears. How on earth is this pens, we've been by far the better team. Will Hojlund's misses be the difference? We do not have good penalty takers. Arsenal take first. Nkunku... Kovar saves! Flores... bottom corner! Odegaard... KOVAR SAVES! Becerra... smashed in! Martinelli... sent Kovar the wrong way. Gray... it's down the middleish! Joao Neves... off the post... and in! Vivian... it's slotted low and in and we've won! 4 Community Shields in a row!

Season 8 - 2030/2031 As always, my assistant manages my friendly matches as I went through looking at players but finding a better player that isn't going to cost silly money or silly wages? It doesn't seem to be happening. The squad: Goalkeepers: Kovar is #1 and is honestly one of the best in the world, the only upgrade I can see is Diogo Costa and he isn't that big of an upgrade for the cost or wage. Robeldo is my backup and is #1 for Chile. Martinez has higher potential it seems than Robeldo but is my 3rd GK. Defenders: My RWB is Livramento with Trilli as backup. My LWB is Becerra with Brown as backup. I have 4 main CBs in Theate, Bitshiabu, Vivian and Kossounou. Critsian Romero was listed at Spurs, he wants to play in the Champs League, I did go in for him and managed to get him down to £350k a week which still seemed too high for me, he has a couple of bad things about it but he also has some class and he's probably in the top 5 CBs in the world on my save and would have fit right in the middle. Man United bid for him, he came back saying give him this bit extra in £375k and these promises and he'll sign, I said no and he went Man United for £475k a week. Just feels paying £125k more than any of my other players messes up the wage structure I have and may cause issues when want new contracts and when my CBs had the best defensive record last year, shelling money out like that seems silly. I have van den Berg tied down to a new contract as he's happy to be a squad player, I felt signing Romeo may impact Tremble's game time as he's a future star. Lele is a future RWB, Gnahore could be a good CB in the future and Tapia could be just a good wing back either side. Kimble is an English fullback I've just signed, hopefully in a couple of years will replace Trilli. Gamal is my DM, he ain't no CB . Phillips is also my backup DM! Midfielders: My DMs are above. Juliao is World Class now and Miley will start next to him. Gray has been great and Boxall is another one that deserves to be here. Young is the CM with the potential. I'd love to buy Gabri Veiga, he looks perfect for my club, not the best personality in balanced but I also don't need another CM with the lot I have. They play well together and I'm happy with them. Sostik is one for the future, he needs to play to develop. Strikers: Pitchford/Gyokeres will play next to Hojlund. Flores is backup and Mitrovic and Hubana are future strikers, espedcially Hubana. MacDonald and Conteh will spend a couple of years out on loan playing football. Facilities Upgrade! It finally happened and the board came to me! About time! Backroom I had to make a couple of chances with retiring staff and we'd lost having the best goalkeeper distrubiton training in the league. I made changes for that and we're looking very good. The only way for me upgrade really is to try and sign the newgen staff that have incredible stats, they just want far too much money, £40k a week on a coach? That's more than I'm on! Maybe Phillips was called up for a reason. Pitchford and Phillips are World Cup winners . England beat Belgium on penalties. Stature Increase 5th best club in the world, or pretty much. We really need that new stadium. Signing of the 2029/2030 Season This came through a little later than normal, Livramento was brilliant. Transfers... so far. So my board want me to use atleast the money they gave me. I have a full squad, I can't improve without selling, no one can afford or really want the players I'd part with. Also out: I feel like I'm pretty much done already unless I can find more youth players which doesn't seem to be possible. Ercan for £20mil was a great. He is actually a Rotherham youth product but he was never going to make it here, he's developed through loans abroad and it's boosted his value. Lopez is great but with Pitchford back, I don't need him. Petersen wasn't needed, I can't see him developing anymore. I'd rather play other youth in the positions he could play. Watson was a great servant to the club but that's silly money for him and I'd rather give Phillips the game time. The rest I've loaned out for game time. Kimble is my only purchase, a youth CB/RWB for the future. I've tied most of my squad down to longer contracts, we're in a great position and I don't see the need to bring in a big money signings. Heck, the biggest "signing" was my loan striker coming back. Look at his physical stats And we know he can score goals, he's a massive reason Bournemouth stayed up last year. Season Start We start with what is hopefully a cup win, some tough games and we'll see if I need to bring in any more players.

End of Season That's pretty cool Trilli is "late developer". He's a good backup. Awards Gyokeres was on fire this season, not sure he'll stay though as Saudi clubs are interested again. Records made to be broken. That's incredible from Norwich, well played. I have no idea how this window will go. I'm not sure where to improve apart from I'd replace Vivian but I don't think clubs would pay for him. We'll see. It's been an amazing season, we finally won the FA Cup, I want to try and get 5 Prem wins in a row and beat City's record points but that one could take a few seasons. I have no interest in starting a new save until the new patch is out and I might try my luck from the bottom tier but the good times at the NYS will keep going. I mean, I want to be playing this save until we actually build a new stadium! Look how many people are waiting on a season ticket .

He's been called up to the World Cup! I have no idea what is happening here but Phillips is going to the World Cup .

FA Cup Final 4th time lucky? Manchester City are currently without a manager but I'm sure I've lost to an intermin before . The line ups: Foden is injured but that's one heck of a squad! We've beat them twice this season, we can beat them again! Rotherham kick off. 5th minute: Some great passing from us, there's space for Juliao to shoot from the edge of the box and Meslier denies and it's a corner. Miley takes and it's headed out. 6th minute: Close again from Juliao. Livramento throws in to him, he plays a one two, dribbles into the box but fires wide. 8th minute: Juliao scores this time! Some dodgy passing from both teams but also some great interceptions. Livramento steals, dribbles down the right, past his man, shoots, Meslier saves and Juliao heads into an empty net! 1 - 0! 35th minute: Juliao who's only just back from injury and is having a great game is forced off. Gray replaces. Half time. That's a good first half from us! Second half. City kick off. 58th minute: Becerra throws to Miley, he cuts in, dribbles and shoots and Meslier saves and it's out for a corner. Miley takes and Kossounou heads but enough power and Meslier takes. 63rd minute: Great football and a great counter from Rotherham but Gyokeres is offside or we'd have a 2nd. 68th minute: So close! Brilliant football from the Millers, it's passed into the box but Gray hits over. 78th minute: City cross but Kovar takes. It's a battle but we manage to find the final bass, Gray shoots but it's over. Miley is being replaced by Boxall and Lopez is coming on for Gyokeres. We have some tired legs but they're playing too well. 83rd minute: What a save! Livramento throws to Boxall, he plays it back, Livramento dribbles into the box, shoots and Meslier gets a hand to it and forces a corner. Boxall takes and it's headed out. Gamal collects, plays it to Gray and this time he makes it count! It's 2 - 0 to the Millers! Trilli and Brown are placing Becerra and Livramento for the final 5 minutes + AT. 89th minute: Lopez is injured and I have no subs left, he's going to have to hobble around. 91st minute: Gamal strikes and hits the post! So close to a 3rd! IT'S ALL OVER. A MATCH WE DOMINATED AND.... WE'VE FINALLY WON THE FA CUP!!!! DOMESTIC TREBLE!!! Look at that xG, we battered them! Gamal was superb at DM! Manchester City's League Points Record After our loss to Newcastle, we can't beat it. Close again but 98 is the max we can get. MacDonald scored! I rotated heavily and we absolutely smashed Everton. Then my 16 year old striker who can play MC, AMC and ST now popped up with his first goal. It's things like this that make the game great .

Premier League Champions - 4 In a row. Wing back Lopez? That's a bug. He's a Pressing Forward . 1 more and we'll have more than Sheff Weds who are in League One .

April Good enough in the Prem and FA Cup, not good enough at home in the Champs League. My computer crashed so I lost everything I wrote up! The Spurs game was really a nothing game, the difference came when Gamal took a freekick, Spurs goalkeeper Chevalier should have caught but spilled the ball, Livramento was charging in and hit the ball into the open net. That was the difference. Perhaps we were the better side against Manchester United but I'd rotated heavily due to the Real Madrid games, they scored twice but they were both massively offside and I'm happy to take an away draw. Gyokeres ended his goal drought against Fulham after 44 seconds, heading in a lovely cross from Hojlund. Gray doubled after 35 minutes, Gray was running into space, Trilli his through a lovely through ball and Gray who was onside slot in. That was the game, we had chances and you can see why Fulham are bottom. Thankfully I save the game often so I didn't lose any games. Miley put us ahead after 8 minutes against Arsenal. Arsenal just didn't defend well enough and then Havertz played a poor pass which let Miley strike at goal. That's 2 after 20 minutes with another mistake at the back from Arsenal. Ramsdale rolled it out to Todibo who dwelled on the ball, Gyokeres took it off him, ran into the box and hit in. That was it, two mistakes at the back from Arsenal gave us a huge win and 30 games in a row undeafted at the New York. We can beat Citys record points if we win the rest of our games. Look at West Ham! They have some good players. We've been given our budget already for next season, I have no idea where I even need to strenghten. Champions League Seems I forgot to take a pic of the 2 - 2 draw. Miley gave us an early lead but a mistake from Miley saw Rodygro steal and put in, Miley then put us back ahead. We had chances but Vini Jr equalised for Real. Flores should have really put us ahead but missed his chance and I knew we'd struggle away. We had a couple of chances but Real played us off the park in reality. FA Cup We battered them, the error from Trent was a howler. We've beat them once in a final this season, why not again? Youth upgrades-ish. But still refuses to improve youth facilities! Award? 4 Millers Next Month Give me that FA Cup!

We have Arsenal to play next, if they win then it's only a 6 point gap but we have a game in hand. It really is ours to lose though. If we win, we'll be 12 points clear and it's really ours. Needs to play more football to be called up. He's a good player, he'll be playing more next season but considering Gray, Miley and Livramento can't get in the England squad and Gray can play DM, that's really odd to read. England actually play 4 - 4 - 2 so that's even more odd to read.

March Our first league defeat of the season and a poor away game at Ajex spurred us on and we were brilliant for the rest of the month. Not the best first half away at Liverpool, an clearly offside goal for us and two yellow cards, apart from that we did nothing but neither did Liverpool. Brown on a sub headed in Mileys corner after 62 minutes. Liverpool equalised after some quick passing, Jones played through Echeverri who slotted in after 70 minutes. Kovar made a big save to deny Echeverri from getting a brace. Liverpool take the lead through some luck, I thought Diaz was miles offside. A ball over the top found Diaz, he's hit it, Kovar has saved and Echeverri is there to tap into an empty net after 78 minutes. We have been so poor, after such amazing form, I can't believe what I'm watching. We equalised but Hojlund was offside, he really was. We were terrible compared to our normal selves, too confident maybe? It was actually our first ever loss against Liverpool! We took the lead against Chelsea after 38 minutes. Watson played to Gray, who turned, dribbled and blasted past Trubin. We doubled out lead after 60 minutes, a brilliant run down the right by Livramento, he crossed it in, Enzo collected, Hojlund tackled, Chelsea fumbled the clearence and Boxall hammered it in. A game we dominated, with the class Chelsea has, they didn't have a shot on target. We could have scored more, much much better then the Liverpool defeat. We gave away an early penalty against City as Miley tripped Kone. Haaland stepped up and Kovar saved! City went close again after a player I was looking at in the summer in Eliseese Ben Seghir dribbled into the box and smashed the bar. We had some good chances ourselves but we went in level. Juliao should have put us infront but his shot was well wide! What a finish from Hojlund who put us ahead after 70 minutes! It all comes from a City freekick, it hits the wall, Theate collects, dribbles half way down the pitch and passes back to Becerra, he plays it to Miley, he plays it to Hojund who dribbles into the box and slots low, that took precision! Lopez came off the bench to make it 2 - 0. Becerra dribbled down the left, crossed in and Lopez headed past Meslier. We nearly scored an O.G that Kovar stopped and then saved the follow up! It's 3, a HUGE mistake from Meslier! He has the ball on the edge of his box, he's just not doing anything with it, Hojlund closes him down, steals it off him, dribbles round and hits into the empty net. In reality it was a close game, our defense was solid and we finished our chances. We took the lead against Leeds after 14 minutes. Leeds headed a cross out, Livramento collected, crossed low and Juliao hit in. Oof, that's a nice hit and our 2nd goal. After some good passing, Becerra hit a low strike from 20 yards out that hit the post and went in. We had more chances but so did Leeds! Kossounou cleared what looked like a Leeds goal off the line after 80 minutes! A mistake at the back from Leeds saw us take a 3 - 0 lead though. Brown crossed low, Vandevoordt pushed it instead of collected it and Flores hit it into the empty net after 92 minutes. Solid win to end the month. Flying high at the top and it's 3 Rotherham players that make up the top 3 average rating! FA Cup Brilliant win. TIme to get revenge on Liverpool! Champions League Our finishing was poor, Gray came off the bench to rescue a draw. Much better at home. The only team I didn't want to draw, this is going to be hard to beat! Big injury Probably the biggest prospect at the club is out for 6 months, hopefully he can recover from this. Youth intake Not good this year, I think Moreira has higher stars then he should because we don't use wingers. He's either footed and doesn't have the pace to play out wide, he should be in the middle of the pitch. I'll try retrain but I don't think he'll make it here. Top 50 Wonderkids 5 Millers and 4 of them in the top 10 . Young is the only 17 year old in the list and just made his Scotland debut! Here is the winner: Already capped for Spain, he'd cost 81mil and I don't think he's my type of player, 10 strength in defense, no thanks. Next Month Spurs and United both away in the space of 3 days, we'll be lucky to win either of those. We can try our best, that's some good teams and the cups have priority we our 12 point lead at the top. Finally winning the FA Cup after 3 final losses would be the dream .

February What an incredible month. Considering the injuries we've had, absolutely brilliant. Another positive is Gyokeres has agreed to extend his contract, he is getting on and had his head turned by Al-Ahli but his form is incredible and he plays so well with Hojlund. In league games Gyokeres has 19 goals, in 20 apps, 3 sub apps Hojlund has 11. Oh and Pitchford who is on loan at Bournemouth, is also on 11 for the team in 16th, I think he'll be replacing Lopez here next year. Anyway, onto the football. We scored early against Southamtpon, Livramento crossed, Kelleher came out but Hojlund beat him to the ball to head in after 4 minutes. Gyokeres made it 2 after 24, Brown crossed, Gray headed, Kelleher spilled it and Gyokeres hit in the loose ball after 24 minutes. Archie Brown headed in Boxall's corner after 30 minutes to make it 3. It was a good win, Southampton had a couple of chances but we were by far the better team, helped by Kelleher. We're about to hit a run of games without Vivian who's out for 2 - 4 weeks and Bitshiabu who's out for 5 - 8 week, it could be costly. We're also without van den Berg against West Ham, he's on the bench but not fit enough to start. West Ham had chances but we took the lead, some good football down the right between Gray and Livramento, Livramento has crossed low and Gyokeres smashed in after 15 minutes. WHAT A HIT!!! Livramento makes it 2. Corner swung in, it's headed out, he picks it up and smashes it into the top corner on his weaker foot after 22 minutes, the 'keeper had no chance. It was a solid win, Tremble played really well at CB and Livramento was class. West Ham have scored the 2nd most goals in the league so keeping a clean sheet was another plus. Brentford took the lead after 28 minutes from the spot, I actually can't tell what a penalty was given for. I had to make subs at half time, some players were playing well below what I expect, especially against bottom of the league. Miley equalised after 53 minutes, hitting in after a quality ball through from Gamal. Gyokeres put us 2 up after 60 minutes, Gray played him through, he's shot and it's deflected off the defenders foot into the back of the net. We went down to 10 in the 94th minute as Miley was injured. It was a deserved victory according to the game but I think we could have played better. We should have taken an early lead against Bournemouth, we played some brilliant football and Boxall was in but he smashed it off the bar. Boxall gave us the lead after 23 minutes, Gamal intercepted Kluivert's pass, we countered, Gyokeres slid through Boxall who made his 2nd big chance count. It was 2 after 36 minutes, Livramento played it to Julio in the box, his pass didn't make it to Gyokeres as it was blocked by Sensei, who then smashed it out only to hit Kerkez, the ball landed to Hojlund to smash in. I'd be raging if that happened to us! Talk about lucky ! Somehow Juliao has an assist and it was a "sensational bit of play". Now that is something you don't see everyday, Livramento threw in, Juliao crossed, Becerra lost his man and in acres of space my 5ft'4 LWB headed in and made it 3 after 39 minutes. It was a great win in the end, we had a few more chances but beating Bournemouth with a clean sheet is good enough for me. And it's still going My team is honestly playing just that good, we have some class players, we do have some big games coming up that could end our streak. Well deserved for Livramento, he's been class. I'd just mentioned Pitchford above and he's got young player of the month, definitely needs to be here next year. Three in a row for me. Carabao Cup See above post . FA Cup Flores on his return to fitness missed some big chances, we should have scored more but a win is a win. Next Month Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs and City, Champ League games, an FA Cup Quarter Final and to end the month with a rival game. This is as hard as they get, if we could out undefeated, I'll be amazed.

Cup Final Day 3 of my main CBs are out. Vivian and Bitshiabu are injured, Kossounou can only make it to the bench with food poisoning. On the flip side, Foden is injured, their main GK Meslier is cup tied and Haaland is jaded and in need of rest. I'm not sure starting Tremble is the best idea against City and I think the physical stats of Archie Brown at LCB will help. The line ups: I do expect a City win here. I have the highlights for this one on key rather than comprehensive City kick off the first half. 22nd minute: Gvardiol throws in a poor ball, Gamal steals, sends a wide cross over, it isn't the best, Becerra collects and fires way over. 25th minute: City attack with pace, Haaland strikes and Kovar gets over to deny for a corner. Roony takes, Kovar collects. 38th minute: Miley swings in the corner, Brown heads in! 1 - 0 to the Millers! 40th minute: Miley plays the ball out wide to Livramento, he whips in a low ball to Gyokeres, his deflected pass falls kindly to Miley who strikes in! 2 - 0 to the Millers!!! We kick off the second half, I forgot to grab a half time screenshot! 59th minute: Good quick passing from City, Haaland is in on the left side of the area but Kovar makes a huge save and it's out for a corner. Roony takes and Kovar takes. 61st minute: Becerra is fouled, is it a penalty or a freekick? It's a penalty to Rotherham! Gyokeres steps up and it's past Spike Brits! 3 - 0!!! 72nd minute: It was nearly 4! Gamal hit it out left to Becerra, he plays a ball to Hojlund, he hits in from a tight angle, it's saved, lands to Miley and Lewis blocks for a corner. Miley takes, Brits collects. 10 minutes to go, making 4 subs. Trili, Tremble, Gray and Boxall on for Livramento, Becerra, Miley and Juliao. 82nd minute: It is 4! Trilli throws in to Gray, back to Trilli, he plays it back to Gray who's running into the box, he dribbles out to give him an angle to shoot past Brits! 88th minute: Final change for us as Watson replaces Gamal. 93rd minute: It's 5 - 0! A brilliant counter, Gray dribbles, to Boxall, he plays in Hojlund who hits past Brits! This isn't the first time we've smashed City with Brits in goal . WE'RE THE CARABAO CUP WINNERS! What a fantastic win! It was my fourth Carabao Cup final and the second we've won! Getting revenge on City as they beat us in the final last year!

January What a month, we've been fantastic. We won a penalty against Brighton after 11 minutes. Gyokeres steupped up and hit in the top corner after 13 minutes, so glad he's so much better from the spot this season. Becerra made it 2 after 36 minutes, van den Berg has collected a loose ball after Brighton cleared a freekick, layed off Becerra and he's hit in low. What looked like a good tackle to me! Brighton have a pen of their own after Livramento tackled too hard, Joao Perdo took and sent Kovar the other way to pull one back after 42 minutes. Lopez made it 3 after 45 minutes, Gamal his a lovely ball over, Lopez took it down nicely and slotted low. Trilli on a sub made it 4! Juliao played it out right, he's cut inside and brilliantly hit past the 'keeper after 75 minutes. We dominated for 90 minutes, brilliant. Gyokeres gave us the lead after 19 minutes against Wolves. Miley layed off a freekick to him, he took a touch to collect it in his feet and then rifled it into the bottom corner. We scored another two goals in the game but they were both offside. An easy victory in the end. We're without Livramento, Flores, Lopez and Phillips for this as they're all injured. Hubana and my 16 year old striker MacDonald are both on the bench against Forest. It took 2 minutes to win a penalty as Juliao was brought down, Gyokeres stepped up.. and Turner saved! Juliao opened the scoring though in just the 5 minutes, Becerra pulled it back to Miley who crossed across goal and Juliao smashed in. Gyokeres made it 2 after 22 minutes, he picked up a loose ball in the Forest box and hit in. Hojlund made it 3 after 49 minutes, Juliao intercepted Cirkins pass, played through Hojlund and he slotted in. Another easy victory in a match we dominated. Gyokeres is in the form of his life. Carabao Cup Chelsea were absolutely awful, hopefully it means we're through to the final. FA Cup I brought on my new youth striker for his debut aswell. What a freekick from Hubana, it was brilliant. Mad to read Madley was biased towards Rotherham . Up next is Hull, a team we should really beat. Champions League 2 goals within the first 2 minutes, we were a class apart. Wolfsburg had just beat Manchester United and were on a high. With our tired players and injuries, I was happy with a draw. The draw was enough to "top the league". Deadline Day I didn't do any more business apart from sending out players on loan. We're in a very good position. The two purchases: I love the name "Bojan Mitrovic". I hope he becomes class. Future England striker. Update on some on my youth players I have 3 players home at club now and two of them are world class. First up is Gamal, my starting DM and he's probably the worst of the 3! We have Juliao, who can still improve. Gavi is transfer listed but my scouts said nah, Juliao is better. And Becerra who has for some reason declined slightly, he's class, I know he's lost a point in dribbling. Flores will be next to be HG. The Golden Boy winner. And 3 I signed and refuse to loan out as I want to give them game time and to be grown at club. Tremble is coming along well, future England CB for sure. I'll be looking to move Watson on in the summer as Phillips is already replacing him. He only arrived in the summer but he's been really decent when I've played him. If we can keep him fit, he'll become world class. Next Month Hopefully keep our form going but we could do with a small break, atleast I can rotate against Chelsea with the lead we have. We have 5 games in 15 days, we have alot of tired players.

December We absolutely love December, I have no idea why we're so good in it. Even though Kovar had a slight knock, he had to start against Manchester United, it's too big a game. Miley gave us the lead after 20 minutes, Gyokeres picked the loose ball after a corner, Miley from outside cut in and curled past the 'keeper. Hojlund made is 2 after 27, heading in Gyokeres cross. Gyokeres went from hero to villain, he was sent off in the 42nd minute for awful two footed challenge. Voss pulled one back for Man Utd after some good passing, Garnacho played him through and he slotted past Kovar after 55 minutes. United were the better side in the 2nd half, we had a couple of chances but we managed to hold on for the win! We're now without Gyokeres for 3 games, his form has been nothing short of sensational, he's going to be missed. We're without some key players and Everton are flying, Beto is scoring for fun. Hojlund should have put us ahead after a lucky deflection bounced to him but he hit well over, bad miss. Juliao then should have put us ahead but he fired well wide, I hope these misses don't cost us. We finally scored but Lopez was offside, I have a feeling Everton are going to steal this. The misses did cost us as it's a scoreless draw, that's the first for us a in a long time. We took the lead against Fulham after 10 minutes, Phillips hit a freekick to Livramento who was free to volley into the back of the net. We doubled after 31 minutes, Becerra hit in a cross, Lopez headed back, Bazunu saved but Hojlund was free to hit in the rebound. That was dirty! Thiago Martinez is sent off for Fulham after he lunged down Tremble after 60 minutes. We won the penalty in the 74th minute that Flores put away to make it 3 - 0. Trilli made it 4 after 92 minutes, a corner is cleared to Juliao, hit shot is blocked, Watson picks up the loose ball, lays off Trilli who smashes it, it's off the post and in. What a win, we dominated that game from start to finish. 1st vs 2nd, a big game away at Arsenal and I start with old midfield trio of Gray, Watson and Miley. What a start! An awful pass at the back from Rice, Hojlund steals, he dribbles from their side of the center circle and past the 'keeper, what a run and what a goal. Saliba heads it off the line after 10 minutes! We were nearly 2 up! It is 2 this time! Brilliant football, quality passing between Hojlund, Gray and Livramento, he hits a low cross, Miley hits and it deflects off Zinchenko into the back of the net after 11 minutes. Arsenal should have pulled one back, it isn't hit well and Kovar manages to deny after 22 minutes! Joao Neves has just come on and Kovar makes another huge save to deny him from pulling one back! Arsenal finally did pull one back after 53 minutes, Nawneri has room to dribble and then smashes it into the corner from outside the box after 54 minutes. As I was making subs I saw Arsenal hit the post! This is such a close game! It's full time! Two early games fired Arsenal on but Kovar was brilliant! It took 3 minutes to take the lead against Leicester after Bitshiabu headed in Mileys corner. Miley doubled after 12 with a curling shot just inside the box. We were superb in the first half, Leicester didn't have a single shot. Leicester didn't have a shot all game, we had 34, 17 on target with a 3.45xG, we should have scored more than 2 but we were brilliant. Leicesters goalkeeper Raya was MOTM, that says everything. A bore draw against Villa, Becerra had the best chance, Villa didn't manage a shot on target, we couldn't find a way through. We took the lead against Newcastle United after 21 minutes with Gray scoring from 20 yards out, with the help of a deflection. We doubled just a minute later with great passing down the left, Hojlund played low into the box and Gyokeres finished. Watson nearly scored a wonder goal near the end, dribbled for half the pitch but where should have slotted in, he hit it straight at the 'keeper, unlucky! Another win this month where we've scored two quick goals. What a month. It's still very tight at the top, a run of a couple of bad results could change everything. Carabao Cup I played some youth player so it was a good win, MacDonald should have scored his first Rotherham goal at the age of 16 but it didn't hit it well enough and the 'keeper saved. Hubana just minutes after gave us the win. I gave my 3rd GK his debut aswell. Difficult task but they're not playing well. Champions League Gyokeres scored in 18 seconds! Sadly the record on my save for quickest Champions League goal is 9! FA Cup Draw Atleast I can play some youth. Youth intake Not a good intake this year sadly. Golden Boy He's very good at what he does, he isn't the Pressing Forward I would like him to be, but he's got a great strike on him and he loves playing in the Champions League. Transfer Budget increase I've spent 16mil of it already . Conteh, the youth England striker from Stoke finally made his move here, he's been loaned back at, I don't need him to be trained at club, I need him to play football. Next Month Hopefully we keep our form going as we do love the December + January run. I'm not sure if we'll see movement, if Al-Ahli want Gyokeres, they're going to have to pay big for him. Boxall has interest from clubs but I'd rather not sell, especially to another English club.

November What a month! We scored goals! It took 15 minutes for either side to have a shot but Brown played a ball across setting up the charging Livramento who smashed in to take the lead. Chelsea equalised with their first shot, Reece James hitting a crackin' shot in after 20 minutes. Gyokeres put us back ahead just 2 minutes later, Livramento down the right, to Juliao who ran down, crossed low and found Gyokeres who hit in. Gyokeres made it 3 after 47 minutes, a great tackle from Vivian, Gamal collected the ball, played it to Hojlund who set through Gyokeres to hit in, brilliant counter. Hojlund made it 4 after 61 minutes! Passing down the right, Livramento then dribbled down, crossed in and Hojlund headed past Trubin. What a brilliant win, winning 4 - 1 away at Stamford Bridge, love it. Vivian seems to be playing much better at RCB and he hit a quality ball over against Spurs, Gyokeres headed on and Hojlund smashed into the back of the net after 14 minutes, a really good goal. Gyokeres made it 2 on the stroke of half time, heading home Becerra's cross. Spurs pulled one back after 56 minutes, Pedrola heading in Porro's cross. Hojlund restored out 2 goal lead after a mistake from Gnoto, Becerra stole, to Gyokeres who played it to Hojlund who smashed in after 72 minutes. A good solid win, Spurs had 2 shots, 1 on target all game, what happened to them! We took the lead against Leeds after 16 minutes, Gyokeres won the ball, played it to Hojlund, back to Gyokeres who he across goal for Hojlund who slot in. Miley made it 2 after 21 minutes finishing a low cross from Becerra. Gyokeres made it 3, Becerra hit a ball through, Hojlund is blocked but Gyokeres picks it up, rounds the 'keeper and slots in. It's 4 after 56 minutes, Becerra with his 3rd assist as he drilloed a low cross that Hojlund beat his man to hit in for his brace. Leeds pulled one back in the 76th minute, Prout passed it back to Sildillia who dribbled into the box and fired low past Kovar. Gyokeres made it 5 though, Hojlund dribbled into the box, he was tackled and the ball landed straight to Gyokeres who smashed in after 86 minutes. What a win! We scored 12 in 3, my players won POTM and YPOTM but I came 2nd in MOTM, boo! Carabao Cup Good draw. Champions League We were brilliant in both games with big scores as I'd expect. England Debut Pitchford hasn't played a game for us yet . I signed him, loaned him out to Empoli, he's with Bournemouth this season but if Gyokeres does go in January as he's interested in moving to Saudi, I'll be calling him back to play. Top 50 Players No Millers in the top 50 players, think my goal is to get atleast 5 in here. Affiliate Actually my first, I haven't asked before this but I have some youth that could do with some game time. It was between Preston, Cardiff and Swansea. Preston are in the league below but my former assistant is their manager and it's why I chose them. Next Month This is an incredibly difficult month, 9 games and I have injuries and 2 key players away at AFCON. Theate is out until the end of December so there's chance my youth CB Tremble will get some game time. Looks like we'll be starting Bitshiabu, Vivian and van den Berg. Not sure who will start at DM instead of Gamal, think Gray might get some time ahead of Watson. First though we have to beat United, we're at home but Kovar might be out with a knock and that's a huge blow.

October Good month overall, we were lucky against City and we missed an opportunity against Liverpool. We had some tired players going into the West Ham game thanks to the international break so I had to rotate which I wasn't happy about. We had all the play and we finally broke the deadlock after 14 minutes wehn Brown hit in a low cross and Lopez nutmegged Henderson. West Ham equalised just before the break, good passing in and round the box and Gourna-Douath was found by Caron to slot in. I had to make subs and some tactically tweaks at half time and it paid off after just 52 minutes. Flores volleyed in Hojlunds chipped through ball to retake the lead. Miley made it 3 after 57 minutes after another sub in Boxall played a lovely ball over the top, Miley took it down and slotted in. Hojlund went off injured so I only had 1 uptop and we lost our shape. West Ham pulled one back after some good passing, Colombo found Caron to slot in after 81 minutes. It looked like Bowen had equalised for West Ham after 89 minutes but he was offside and we held on for a big win. West Ham really are a good side, they have some brilliant players. It was a cracking win in reality after the changes I had to make before the game and during. Man City had been the better side but we took the lead after 27 minutes. Miley played through Lopez who slotted in. Man City equalised after 56 minutes, Rodri hit a shot from outside the box that deflected past Kovar. We weren't good enough and I was more than happy with an away draw. We forced City in alot of long shots, they had 15 shots and only managed 2 on target. It was an even game against Liverpool and perhaps we had the best chances forcing some great saves from Altay but Eder Militao got himself sent off after 50 minutes after a scissor tackle on Miley and Liverpool were down to 10. Liverpool took the lead though after Konate headed in Szoboszlais freekick after 78 minutes. Gray thankfully scored just 2 minutes after, Hojlund crossed in low and Gray hit past Altay to equalise. We had enough chances to win, a draw to 10 men isn't good enough. Arsenal are joining in the battle now. Carabao Cup I started youngsters Tremble at CB, Phillips at DM and Robledo who had another brilliant game in net. I brought Hubana off the bench and he nearly scored just before Juliao put us ahead, so to give youngsters a game, this was a good win. Champions League We absolutely battered them but it was our defenders who scored our goals! The next Dzeko? I'd be very happy with that . This is Hubana so far: Next Month Tough games against Chelsea and Spurs and a rival game vs Leeds but we should be beating Getafe and Young Boys.

September We won an early penalty against Southampton, Gray sent in a cross from the right and Hojlund was taken down. Gyokeres stepped up and blasted in the bottom corner past Kellher after 8 minutes. We doubled after 10 minutes with Gray hit in from outside the box following a great passing move from the Millers. A huge mistake from Kelleher, passing the ball to Lopez and not recovering in time saw Lopez dribble round and hit the ball into the empty net after 68 minutes. In the 79th minute we won another penalty with Watson being taken down. Gyokeres got his brace, hitting his penalty in the top corner after 81 minutes. In the game it was a solid win, Southampton had 63% posession with only 4 shots and 1 on target with 0.39xG, they're going straight back down. What a finish to take the lead against Bournemouth. It's a bad pass from Alex Scott and Gamal cuts it out, passes it first time to Gyokeres who curls it low into the corner from outside the box past Dahlberg after 15 minutes who wasn't postioned properly. Hull equalised after 40 minutes, a low cross from Traore was smartly finished by Outarra. We should have taken the lead after 65 minutes but my word that was some miss from Gyokeres. After some good passing down the left, Boxall crossed to the near post and Lopez hit in after 75 to restore the lead. Lopez got his brace after 82 minutes with another attack down the left, Bournemouth headed out, Brown collected, cut in past his man passed past his next which found Lopez at the near post to poke in after 82 minutes. Bournemouth pulled one back after Broja stole the ball from a very very poor Vivian pass, he passed low, we couldn't cut out and Solanke hit in after 90 minutes. We could have scored more, we were the better side and it was a deserved win. West Ham are giving us competition! And we face them next! Carabao Cup I played my new backup goalkeeper/future starter Robledo and he was brilliant on his debut. Made some big saves and I'll need to give him more cup time, he's already #1 for Chile. Think that's the toughest draw we could have got. We'll do well to progress. Champions League Boxall was brilliant, we dominated. They had 1 shot, 0 on target. We cancelled each other out, it was an even game and it's a very good draw considering we were at the San Siro. International Goal He's scored enough for me in the Champions League but it took 10 caps to finally got his first goal. Next Month Very tough month, we're away at top of the league and then we have City and Liverpool. Nice will give us a game and Arsenal away is as tough as they come.

August The start we wanted! We start the season at home against Nottingham Forest, a team we haven't lost against in 9 games, we've beat them 8 times and drawn once. It took 3 minutes to take the lead, Livramento passed back to Juliao, who played it to Gyokeres in the box, he layed off Gamal who hit low past Turner. 9 minutes in and it's a potential penalty, it's been given! Gyokeres steps up.. and hit low to make it 2 after 10 minutes! It's 3 after 22 minutes, a low cross from Becerra finds Gyokeres who hits low past Turner. We made it 4 after 23 minutes, a quality ball over from Gamal found Gyokeres onside who volleyed home for his hat-trick. Nottingham Forest went down to 10 men in the 35th minute after Danilo slid in with two feet and took out Miley. It was 5 after 44 minutes, Juliao played a one-two with Miley and then hit a good shot across goal into the far corner. We couldn't find another goal in the second half but Gyokeres was top class today! 3 goals and an assist ! Our passing so far in the first half against Wolves has been so poor, we're lucky they haven't scored. I was about to sub Miley and Lopez off when Becerra threw in to Miley, he dribbled past his man, found Lopez in the box who hit in after 56 minutes. In the end it was a good win for us, by far the better team but a very shaky first 20 minuts when it came to pass completion. I've had to rotate a couple of tired players but this is a game we should be winning. In the 2nd minute we've won a penalty. Boxall hits a ball over the top, it looks like it's too long but Solet pushed down Gyokeres, he steps up and hits in! We're in total control and we finally went 2 - 0 up, Boxall headed in Browns cross after 27 minutes. We made it 3 in the 91st minute, Gamal with an absolutely wonderful through ball found Juliao who slotted past Cox. Even though he's conceded 3, he's made some brilliant saves. In the 94th minute Ezequiel Fernandez was sent off for Brentford after a 2nd yellow card. It was a great win in a game which we dominated. West Ham just won 7 - 2 and went top! Champions League Draw An easier draw than last year, two tough games against AC Milan and Inter but the rest should be wins. Carabao Cup I would have liked an easier game to play youth but atleast we're at home. Deadline Day United came in for Holm, he was a squad player now and I've made 42mil profit on him . I can't believe Arsenal have overtaken City! They're spending crazy money a week and aren't good enough! Players in I needed to replace Holms and finding a RWB was not easy, especially one that can win a header. I did find a Canadian RWB at Porto but he wanted to play first team and 150k a week which he isn't as good as Livramento and it just wasn't happening. He's played alright for Almeria and 20mil was the higher end of his market value but I needed cover. I'm training his heading + bravery to see if I can get it increased by a point or two but this is the best players I could find who'd come and play rotation. For £1.5mil I bought in a youth fullback, i'm retraining him LWB and as a wing-back support role, IF I can get him trained well enough he could be a good option to play LWB and RWB as he has a strong right foot. He could be a great player in the future he just has alot to learn. He's a punt due to being injury prone but he's a cheap punt. I actually made money this window. We have money in the bank, still have 67mil in the budget and 250k in the wage budget. I just think some of the prices for potentially slight improvements are crazy but on the flip side, the money would have been spent if I didn't sign the two free CBs that were released. Maybe we'll see if we need to bring in a big name signing in January, there is potential for a CB spot but I do want to try and give Tremble and Phillips, my youth CB and DM some game time this year. They both have alot of room to improve and look like they could be England players in the future so they need game time. Next Month I'm hoping more than anything we can beat Bournemouth as last season we drew twice. Hoping we can get wins in our cup games.

Honestly I don't know. I just look for players who have good physicals, work rate, teamwork and determination. Jumping reach seems to help. Not sure if it's because I build my teams a certain way and AI don't, I think they sack managers too often or they buy some odd players for alot of money who don't really fit. I keep thinking I need to switch to a tactic with wingers but honestly what I'm doing seems to be working just fine. I don't have many players who are the best technically. We lack free kick, penalty and corner takers but we still score from corners as I try and find players who are more like having tanks on the field that will win headers. I think that's why Davies, Tietz and van Hooijdonk did so well in my tactic, I've looked at other teams with strikers worth alot of money but they lack physical aspects and have a poor scoring record. My corner takers are Miley who has 11 corners, Lopez who has 10 and then sometimes Watson who has 10, Gamal who has 9 and if needed Becerra who has 8. It isn't something I feel I need to work on, I'd rather have physical players. The only players who are ineffective in the air are Becerra and Juliao who are 5'4 and 5'5 but play in postions I can adapt for them and are both good enough players in general I can get away with it. I have Archie Brown who has 18 JR and 13 heading to play at LWB instead of Becerra if need be and Gray or Boxall are more physical players(not the most physical but still a big improvement over Juliao) if need be in CM. Just think it's the way to go.

Season 7 - 2029/2030 Pre-season went well with my assistant playing the matches as normal, I'm always busy scouting youth and key players over the summer window. Our squad is bigger but I have youth players out on loan to play as I can't give them any time here. There's still a couple of players I wouldn't mind loaning out for game time. We have strength in depth. Staff We're the best in the league at everything expect Physiotherapy which we're 2nd. We've come a long way in such a short amount of time. Club Reputation Under Reputation due to our recent success we're supposedly the biggest club in England . Most players seem interest to come here, we just can't afford them or their wages. Sadly the only want to solve this is a new stadium which we're 3 years away from. Training Facilities We have 100mil in the bank but he won't increase youth facilities. But he'll increase recruitment. Make sense . Transfers Also out: Yeah, I smashed our club record signing a RWB but I had two options, Livramento or Dumfries who's 33 and would have cost 50million. The two CBs are masssive upgrades and the rest are youth players with 1 more youth player inc in january. I couldn't turn down 28mil for Greaves, he isn't good enough anymore. 40mil for Schuurs is also too good to turn down as he was a rotation player. Damac triggered Bright Arrey-Mbis release clause and I was happy to sell. van Hooijdonk sadly isn't good enough anymore. 10mil for my backup goalkeeper is crazy money. Wain is a player with no future, Championship at best so I was happy to cash in. So who are the new players? Starting CB and will be club captain. Incredibly experienced CB who will also be starting. Livramento will be my starting RWB and can still improve. Robledo replaces Iversen Young is one for the future. Hubana is a target forward! It's worked for me in the past, has ALOT of potential. Is a risk as he's injury prone but he could be a huge huge player. First time I've had this and in the future I'd like to bring more big names in. Season Start We start with two cup finals and what should be 9 points.

End of Season An amazing season, winning the Champions League was incredible, especially the come back against Arsenal. We were so close to hitting the record Prem points and an FA Cup but we can try again next season, we have the Club World Cup to play in and I'm already looking at a CB that is being released from a Saudi team, my scouts are obsessed with him but he wants 250k p/w and I'm not sure I can pay that, it might be tempting considering he's costing me no money. I'm looking to bring in quality this year, we have some good youth but I want to bring in elite players if I can. It's going to be an interesting summer and some of my good players will be leaving. Edit: We're overachievers again And Hojlund was signing of the season .
