We've had a much better couple months, after the rough start to open our Premier League campaign. We find ourselves sitting in the mid-table, but things are still pretty clogged up, so in reality a few bad games and we could be right back in or near the drop zone.
Danny Raglan, my 19 year old CDM (who is seemingly getting better by the day, rated at 77 now) asked for a transfer in the next window, because he wanted a "new challenge". I almost threw my controller across the room
but then I regained my composure, and offered him a boat load of money (from a Bristol City perspective), and convinced him to stay. So, dodged a bullet there, for now.
I love playing in the Premier League. Games against teams like Sunderland and Stoke are challenging, but I feel like I can win them if I play a sound game. But then you get a team like Chelsea, Liverpool, etc. and they just PUNISH you if you make a mistake. Although, I did manage to draw 3-3 at Old Trafford

A couple highlights. Sorry for the quality, the audio is a bit off, and it's a little choppy. But it took a long time to upload so I'm going to include it anyway, lol.

First goal was an absolute BOMB from Korey Smith, at Stamford Bridge. Didn't end up meaning anything, because Chelsea beat us, but I'm guessing that will be my goal of the year.
Second goal was @ Cardiff. I was coming off two tough losses to Chelsea and Stoke, and I was really feeling the pressure at the very bottom of the table. I had lead most of the game 1-0, and Cardiff scored around the 80th minute. I decided I was going to go for broke and press the hell out of them, because I really wanted those 3 points. Ended up finally working, in stoppage time.
Third goal was home against West Brom. Coming off that Cardiff win, really wanted to keep the momentum going. The goal is indicative of the game, very sloppy, haha. But, it found it's way to the back of the net and I found another 3 points.
Fourth goal was in my 4-0 thrashing of Hull. They caught a red card early, and I just piled on with 4 goals. Nearly 25% of my total goals on the season, haha.
