Jamie was right but Matt couldn't make up ground to go above him, so Jamie is still in the driving seat, a few bids this week for Tomas Rosicky may have unsettled the Bayern star.

If St Johnstone get promoted from the First Division next season, which looks likely I will be accepting an invite from the guys in Scotland to join the Scottish Premier League with the Saints, looking forward to it guys.

well that's just about it for the league games this week, I'll start the vidiprinter again for the Cup finals in a new thread.

That game seems to sum up our season.

Get our noses in front but unable to defend properly.

The massive concern is that despite scoring 3 none of the front men contributed and its a been a recurreing theme.

what a fight back, gutted from my point if view to throw the lead away twice but hats off mate.

Changes ahead .

I think that sees us now with too much to do to take the title so it's looking ahead for next year so expect some deals and offers to be out people's way. 

Will be kinda nice watching the others slug it out, with Birmingham and charlton literally having it in their own hands it promises to be a fantastic end to a very entertaining season.

Well just in the midst of an office move and great to see Plymouth and Lyon both win. Simple scenario for Plymouth - win the remaining games and hope Charlton drop a couple of points somewhere. Lyon just need to keep winning, although I think the league is going to be a step too far for the team.

 Two away games left starting with a trip to the Amsterdam arena !!

Ding dong

okay I'm running the transfers now, then I'll go on and do the coaching and finances...

some heavy bids in this week for Stekelenburg, Chadli and Negredo.

Ancona have won Alvaro Negredo's signature as he makes the move across the country from Cagliari in exchange for Alessandro Matri and Antonio Nocerino. Will we now see Negredo making the step up to Watford for the new season ? and how will Man City feel on losing out having supposedly already secured the player's signature last week ? I guess we'll find out soon.

Jose Campana, another player attracting a lot of trial bids, has moved from Inter to Nantes for £1millions.

Pierre Aubameyang and £8millions has moved to Boca in exchange for Copa Libertadores hero Alex Teixeira who moves to Nantes.

Cagliari have bought Yoann Gourcuff from Real Madrid for £12millions so it will be a new look attack for them next season with Gourcuff feeding Thiago and Matri.

Plymouth signed Gedion Zelalem from Saarbruken for £1,000,000.
Watford signed Nicklas Helenius on trial from the non-league.
Charlton signed Dharius Waldron and Nathan Burke from the non-league.
Real have sold Sotoris Ninis to Bologna for £4millions.

Andreu Fontas has re-signed for Barca.

Monaco buy Lucas Biglia for £8millions.
Schalke sign Roman Neustadter for £4millions from the non-league.
Gladbach buy Tobias Sippel for £500,000.

Nacer Chadli has signed for Ancona in exchange for £6millions, Pablo Piatti, Marvin Martin and Aymen Abdennour.

Boro have sold Mignolet to Nantes in exchange for £8millions, Peter Gulacsi, Gaston Ramirez and Tom Ince.

 I scouted him last turn (week 19) just gone and he was down as not for sale by his club liege????

Now he moves? What gives ?

Leeds have sold Sam Byram to Watford for £1millions plus James Tavernier and Fabio Daprela.
