A. If you don't like it, don't read it. B. If they don't show post counts anymore, people would still post in it. It's a fun thread for some of us.

My guy has the same tactic. Read up a bit online and one site I found said to play 3 CMs and attack on the wings.

It all comes down to this. Big home match next week, I win, I make the playoffs, I lose or draw, my opponent does. Probably will do more research on how he plays and come up with a good strategy. Might have to CA. Great league this season, 4 of us within about 5 points of each other.

And how is a Souness song appropriate at Birmingham? Great Celtic performance, huh Jan?

STEADDDINNNNHHHHOOOOOO Great cross from Emerton.

www.hattrickorganizer.de Gives a good java tool to tell you best positions and best lineups. Basically Defending: Defender, Playmaking: CM, Winger: Wing, Shooting (Scoring? I forget which): Forward. Passing is a secondary skill.

If you are against a stronger team, 5 man defenses with counterattack seem to be able to sometimes nick a draw (if they play 3-5-2).

MORE EVIDENCE THAT PHILIP IS WRONG

Philip, if you actually read the quote, you might not be alone, but you are wrong: "There is no way England can have more than four teams so in the first instance we would refer it to the English FA to make the decision if it arises. But normally I would say that it's more important if you are qualified through your national league position than if you have won the competition" – UEFA chief executive Lars-Christer Olsson makes a fool of himself in the Daily Express. I point to the part I emphasized in bold

Need some help to get promoted, so if it doesn't happen I'm going to sell anyone over 20 and start over with all trainees.

Not to be a pedant, but it was impossible to look up the table after that match!! Damn, beat me to it.

People also forget that Dom was not brought in to be a left back, we had Gray and Gresko at the time. He was brought in to provide cover in the center. It would be interesting to see him moved there if Todd is out for a bit.

Matteo is not in the team for his passing ability. He's in the team to take players like the daft Renaldo out of games.

We were being competitive, Arsenal (especially Reyes) were diving, but we are a little rough at times. As for Todd, as a hockey fan, I loved it. If you watch the video, it does look as if it were an accident, and his reaction more seemed like he felt he was being attacked, by the way he pushed out when he was touched.

You want to try listening to the overseas commentary I had to endure. Gary Bloom was his name I am sure he was sat there in an Arsenal top calling for rovers players to be sent off, continually knocking the way we play and making derisory comments about the fact that we couldn't sell our allocation. At one point he said the cynics amongst us think that should they get to the final blackburn wouldn't sell their allocation. He also said that blackburn have only come to stop arsenal playing their magnificent football. Who is this guy ? I wanted to rip his head off. Did any other US based rovers fans feel the same way ? or was it just me. Actually, if you kept listening, he defended us, saying that we would easily sell out for the final and that the early start time was what hurt our ticket sales. I thought he was pretty good. He was talking about our stlye, but I didn't feel it was in a derogatory way, but more that it wasn't prety, yet it was effective.

I do see now. Different connotations over here.

More the use of the word "cow". As for the other, she's enjoying it, just nervous to have to meet people.

So you want a picture of me? (I'm one boob!!) Bryan, not a very nice thing to call my wife, and I'll stop there as there is the no personal insults rule.

Been visiting family for the weekend. Will have it later today.

Yes, read, it says offering for sale, nothing about begging to buy!

Or maybe the fact he would have a winger in front of him again would help...

Twas faceciousness (however you spell that), methinks.

thats cheap for say an nfl game No it's not. We're talking face-values printed on the tickets, not what you could get for them on eBay. (They do that a lot over here). You haven't seen the face value of Patriots tickets lately!

Sean Wheelock does the MLS wrap show with John Harkes on FSW. He used to broadcast for Kansas City, I believe. I like him a lot, the 2 of them do a good job together.

Not sure what's wrong, but I saw two praises of us on F365 today. In Andy Gray's column, he talks about how 4-5-1 is working for us by tightening up the back, then mentions how we might be painful to watch (for the neutral, he is right), but it is effective. At the end of the column he talks about banning 5 in the midfield, but says he would give us a pass this season because of our lack of firepower. Then, in the letters section, a United fan (an actual one from Manchester, I believe), gives us credit, saying we came to play for the point, and were effective.
