April 4th: Ipswich (20th) @ Aston Villa (8th)

We have a throwin in the 15th minute... passed quickly to the center of the pitch, ball into the area and their defense has completely fallen apart. Neil Gordon is wide open 10 yards out and beats the keeper! 1-0 In the 35th minute Kirkland sends a cross in from about 35 yards out wide left... its right at the keeper... who mishandles the ball, it goes through his arms and into the net. Its counted as an own goal. [b]2-0[b]

They pressure non stop to start the second half, finally in the 65th minute they get Rinuado free in the area for an easy goal. 2-1. In the 79th minute Constantino with a long run down the left... into the area... skips over a diving tackle of a defender. The keeper dives on the ball but fails to hold it and it squirts away. Constantion recovers and puts it in the net! 3-1 85th minute a through ball to ST Byrne gives them a clear cut chance that they don't miss. 3-2

All of a sudden we decide we're awesome! I mean, you can't say this is like the Man City match where they are probably super dejected that they're out of Europe next year. Aston Villa is right on the edge with a real chance to finish 4th, and we just went into their house and scored 3 goals on them.

Aston Villa 2 : 3 Ipswich

Man of the Match: Constantino (8.3)
Goals: Constantino, Gordon (7.6), and an own goal
Assists: Mariga (8.0), Donnelly (7.1), Guarin (6.9)
Notables: Kirkland (7.0)

No idea how we have 3 assists and Kirkland isn't one of them, it was his cross that led to the own goal, I didn't see it hit anyone else.

-- Man U ties Chelsea to help their cause a bit. Sunderland loses a match though and its enough to clinch the EPL title for Chelsea.

May 11th: Liverpool(6th) @ Ipswich (20th)

Our last home match of the year. They get a goal 25 seconds in but its called offsides, whew. After that we go quickly to the halftime scoreless. 6 shots from each team, no clear cut chances. We shoot once in the second half, its a clear cut chance after a long run for Constantino but the keeper saves. They shoot 17 times total, it seems like 6 or 7 shots were in the last 10 minutes as they desperately wanted the 3 points, but we didn't give in.

Ipswich 0 : 0 Liverpool

One of their defenders is man of the match.

Notables: Kirkland (7.5), Berthet (7.0), Henrique (7.0)

We're actually tied now with Watford in points but they have a better goal differential. We'd need to finish this run to end the season with another point and have Watford lose to get out of last.

At the top of the league with 1 match to go for almost everyone:

1. Chelsea - 78 pts
2. Sunderland - 69 pts
3. Sheffield Utd - 69 pts
4. Arsenal - 68 pts
5. Newcastle - 65 pts (2 to play)
6. Liverpool - 65 pts
7. Man Utd - 65 pts

Aston Villa cannot finish in the top 7 now.

-- Our young defender Jack Hughes is man of the match for the England U19 squad in the U19 Euro Championship Qualifiers against Moldova, putting up an 8.5 rating and getting an assist in a 2:0 England win.

May 19th: Ipswich (20th) @ Newcastle(5th)

Newcastle has choked their chance at 4th away. A draw at Sunderland and a loss at home vs Nottingham Forest (15th). They need to beat us big and have Arsenal lose to Blackburn to get 4th.

They score in the 14th minute on a counter attack, wow, a ridiculous shot from 25 yards away in between two defenders and perfectly struck into the right side of the net. 0-1. Constantino with a run down the right side in the 32nd minute, he gets to the end line, draws the defense, passes back to Mariga who hits it on a half volley and into the net! 1-1 In the 36th minute their striker Cavani burns Henrique to get into the area and scores easily. 1-2

No scoring in the second half though they dominate it, all the chances to score were Newcastle's.

Newcastle 2 : 1 Ipswich

Man of the Match: McDonald Mariga (7.9)
Goal: Mariga
Assist: Constantino (6.7)
Notables: Carlos Antonio (7.3), Kirkland (7.1), Donnelly (7.1)

And that's it for our first season in the EPL. Hopefully we'll be back soon!
