Burnley FM17 career mode Part 5- There we were, now here we are

Hello everybody and welcome back to the one thing in my life that gives me pleasure, my FM17 career mode with the boys from the Turf. We have a little new year special today, no reason I just wanted to treat you all, I know I am too good to you all. Since it's coming towards the new year, I have had time to reflect on the achievements I had had on FM16 and FM17. So I have won the Championship, won manager of the year, beat the Venkys twice (ok not really an achievement), so yeah we have come a long way my friends but this season is only the start of something big. Without further ado here are the games for today..........COME ON LETS HAVE IT!!!

Before we start I just wanted to let you all know I have signed a new contract because lets face it I am better than Dyche (sorry Sean)

Game 1- AFC Bournemouth (A)

As you all know we have faced the Cherries before and we were defeated in the EFL Cup on penalties but I am looking to put that behind us. It's the same lineup but going to go on the counter and pick the Cherries off the tree.

1-1 at half time, 5-1 at full time. What a win! Bamford yet again having a field day with the opposition defence and it was also nice to see Barnes hitting form as well. Those half time team talks of mine are inspirational.

Game 2- Manchester United (A)

Besty vs Jose, Tom Carroll vs Paul Pogba, 1st place United vs 2nd place Burnley. Huge game for us (weird how i am talking about us as if we are gonna win the league). Since it's a big away game I have decided to do a bit of Jose101 and park the bus and hopefully grind out a result.

That bus just became a tank!! What a result, we were resilient, we frustrated them and we hit the bar so we could have won the game but nah I am very happy with that result. Hull City next. Also we got fined by the FA because 6 of my players picked up a yellow.....Pussies

Game 3- Hull City (H)

After the defensive masterclass at Old Trafford, we welcome Hull City to Turf Moor in a game I would like to win. Hull came up with us last season (in real life, on FM16 they finished mid table LOL) so we must beat our "Relegation" rivals. UP THE CLARETS

We have reached 40 points, the target is met with 20 games to go, unbelievable achievement from the lads as we look to go as high as possible. LETS HAVE IT!!!

Game 4- Sunderland (H)

Up next we face the man who is fluent in Spanish, old Moyseh and his team the Mackems. Today we have been brilliant and this is the annual boxing day fixture so I wanna give the Burnley faithful some festive cheer.

We should have won, it was the first game back for Gray who didn't perform well but I am going to stick by him but first we can't beat Pardew and now we can't beat Moyes.

Game 5- Stoke City (A)

The last game before the new year and we have the first of the reverse fixtures as we face Stoke away from home. I think we beat Stoke last time out (I can not be bothered to check because I am eating some chicken, lovely jubbly)  but I want to make sure we close out 2016 with a bang.

At the end of 2016 we are in the top 3 of the premier league, this is remarkable. I expected us to be around 15th or something but top 3 at the minute, can we keep it going? Probably not.

Our team has come a long way since FM16 and all we are doing is aiming high......AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH!!!!

We will be back again tomorrow!!!
