The only missing orders this week are from Watford and Barcelona.

We've had a few misplaced order sheets recently, my new postman is bloody awful and because I live at the end of the road at number 54 he quite often sticks it through the frontdoor of number 50 so he dont have to walk down to me.

So anybody who wants to send their order sheets to my email address can do so, just make sure I can read them.

Typical I asked the misses to post it this week...... I think she's jealous the amount of time I spend with Hemsoft ha.

Posted it last Monday.... so had plenty of time ha

I've now received everybody's orders except Barcelona.

Playoff Final results

Sheffield Wednesday 4 Westham 3 aet
 Westham's Kolarov tried to inspire with a sublime performance but it wasn't to be in what was a very close encounter which could have gone either way, with Westham unlucky to lose out as they tired and conceded an extra time winner from left back Alberto Moreno. Wednesday back in the top flight after a long absence.

Leicester City 1 Tranmere Rovers 4 aet 
 Tranmere scored from the penalty spot on 84 to take the game into extra time but Leicester didn't   have the legs and fell apart conceding three goals.

Derby County 3 Middlesbrough 2
 Managerless Boro suffered after their manager quit amid allegations of bribery and match fixing prior   to kickoff and Derby took full advantage of their opponents confusion.

Successful run out for the Charlton side!!

A couple of transfers this week worth mentioning are Charlton's purchase of England's young Harvey Elliott from Newcastle for £20millions and Watford's capture of Harry Maguire from Aston Villa in exchange for French playmaker Adrien Rabiot.

Also on the move were Corentin Tolisso who joined Monaco from Genk for £60millions and Jonas Hector who left Schalke in favour of Gladbach who paid £60millions for him. Pablo Fornals joined Westham for £45millions in the hope they would win the playoff final. AC Milan snapped up Faouzi Ghoulamd for £36millions from Genk and Seb Haller made the move to Plymouth from Barcelona for £32millions.

New boss at St Johnstone also splashed out when he spent £18millions of Tin Vedvaj from Schalke.

Bristol City accepted a permanent bid from Watford for Lloyd Kelly who cost them £9millions.

In a late deal Chelsea have completed the signing of Marc Muniesa from Coventry for £32millions.

Printing tomorrow morning then I'll send out the email turns in the afternoon...

Sometimes you've got to sell to improve and sadly, Tolisso and Ghoulam were the victims of the Manager. Tolisso departs Genk for a second time not being able to force his way into the manager's plans even though his departure leaves fans wondering who is going to take the AM role with rumours touting Rabiot to return. But a late deal see's the young and "head" strong Maguire move to vicarage road... is this the end of Kompany.... Surely the manager has a plan..... 

Fazoui Ghoulam, probably one of my longest serving players a shame to see him go however, with the competition of Ferland Mendy and Contrao there isn't any space in the squad for sentiments so onto pastures new for the Algerian Left back. 

Let the stadium rebuild commence, after two consecutive titles at Genk the fan base has dramatically increased and the currently 45,000 capacity isn't enough with fans eager to watch the likes of Neymar and Griezmann...

Rabiot to return? I don't understand, you've just sold him? Is Dave selling him straight back to you?
