The Football Addick

Amazing. Incredible. Unbelievable. A few words that sum up CPR's season. The team that took to the field to play in their first competitive match against Hartley Whitney have gone through the good times and the bad times, but they have evolved into a top class team. The transformation that the team has shown has been quite remarkable, and to end the season with the Premier League title is the least that this gutsy team deserve. To cap off the season, I'd just like to conclude how the season has gone from start to finish, putting in a few stats and a few memorable moments. A win against Hartley Whitney on the first day of the season proved to be vital in the overall title race, but CPR came back down to earth a week later drawing 4-4 with Chobham Burymead. However this was rectified with emphatic progression to the quarter finals in the cup, and wins against Wokingham and Tongham. The month also culminated in Curley Park travelling to semi-professional side Eastleigh Town...

Wow, what a season. I've won multiple trophies throughout my youth career at AFC Wimbledon, but I can honestly say no season has been better then this one that I've spent at CPR. When I was at my first stint at the club (U5-U12) I left having not won a Premier League title, having narrowly missed out at U11's when my team finished second place. Although there were those that may not have shared the same belief that we'd stroll in and secure the title having formed only at the start of the season, I always thought we'd have a great chance. The celebrations were the best I've ever been part of, and I'm glad that I've been able to share a trophy with 17 of my good mates. It's been an honour sharing a football pitch with the lot of you, and although you may not be the most technically gifted bunch of lads I've played with, I've come across few with the same appetite and will to win; a testimony to the spirit all of you have shown in a CPR ...

Another team who would be disappointed in their fortunes this season are Manchester City , who have had to watch in despair as their Manchester rivals, United, have snatched the title away from them at the first time of asking. There were no last minute heroics from Aguero, and instead it looks as if City are going to finish runners up, some 15 points behind their rivals. They've spent big in order to compete with their rivals, with Aguero, Tevez, Toure and Silva amongst others arriving for substantial fees. But despite their team costing somewhere well into treble figures, they have been ousted this season, and will want to bounce back next year as they step up their challenge for supremacy in Manchester. I think City have underachieved this season. Being in an FA Cup final, which they go in huge favourites against relegation candidates Wigan , has done little to ease the pressure on Mancini and a number of fans have voiced their concern on their team being unable to compete o...
