Or get ye-a-scanning!

I just want to know one thing: If Sven goes, will Palios have to go as well?

Does what again? Buys an over the hill has been who will drag down the wage bill for the next couple years?

Hey Glenn, anyone looked into my idea of getting a host in the states and taking advantage of the good exchange rate? I'd be glad to put my address down as a contact for the host, if you need a state side address....

Yeah, smart statement after we've gotten players that several teams were all after in the last couple seasons (Emerton, Dickov, Matteo, etc.). And if you watch the post match interviews, he does take the blame on occasion.

Just remember, Brad scored more goals last season than JayJay.

I'd have to go with Charles Manson, David Koresh and Jim Jones, myself.

"I'll give 100% every time I play..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Funniest thing I've read in ages.

Fly into Manchester.

especially the one about rating Big Sam...

Maybe Thompson in the hole behind the striker? ala scholes?

50 MOST AWESOMELY BAD SONGS - CLICK Bob will think that the Final Countdown should be higher than 13, I'm sure. I just wonder why REM's "Stand" isn't on the list.

Give him a chance with good balance on the left and Thompson beside him and you'll be singing his praises in a few months time (unless you're the type to never admit you are wrong, in which case you'd be finding something to complain about).

Sure, I'll go for the rematch. Maybe this time your guy won't dive and get one of my players sent off!!!

Looks like he's about to give the slap, but that would just be the beginning of what he has in store for the guy...

I've been using HO for a while (it's java, so works on my Mac). Like the lineup stuff, but especially like that it tells you how good everyone is at every position. That way when I want to juggle my friendly lineup for positions and training purposes, I don't necessarily lose too too much. My only complaint is too many updates, seems like I'm downloading a new version every week. Oh, and I lost 0-4, had a man sent off.

OK, early second half, down 0-1 to Oklahoma. I was thinking more of this and I seem to be blowing it late in the game. If he pours on a bunch late, then I'm thinking I might want to switch my training to stamina.

I've given up on this season and am looking for long-term. Don't mind languishing this low for a little while as long as I keep improving. There are at least 4 second year teams that have almost all 3 star players and higher, while I only have a couple that high. Right now my wingers and forwards are pretty solid, but I've been letting in too many goals. Doesn't help that 3 of my first 4 were against the strong teams. At least it showed me that I really don't have a shot this season, as I got blown out in 2 of them and drew with the other. My defenders really aren't too bad, just my opponents are pretty unstoppable. I'm figuring that I will train as many as possible with defending and sell a couple on in the offseason to build for a big run next season. Right now I'm happy with my wingers (have 2 great ones, one of whom is injured) and my strikers. My midfield is decent, and even my worst midfielder scores a lot of goals (but apparently does little else). I've been looking at transfer prices lately and it seems good defenders are going for a premium. Going with some of my wingers skills already, I figure adding the defense to them and making them wingbacks should increase their value. With all that in mind, does it sound like a decent long-term solution? (Oh, and right now, most of my team is young, and I have 3 trainable 17 year olds and a bunch of other already decent 18 and 19 year olds, plus my youth system is now at passable and giving me a good player every couple weeks.)

Hey S/S, at least credit where you stole that from.

OK, my season is pretty much over at this point. The best thing I can hope for is to train players and build for next season. No problems, as I'm not skint and was going for a slow steady climb anyhow. My question: My defense has been crap. Should I go for training defenders and play a 5-4-1? If that is the case, should I use my younger non-defenders and train them to make them into decent defenders? Right now my strongest position is wing. Maybe I should take 4 of my younger wingers and play them as wingbacks? Any suggestions? Thanks!

I do like the sweatshirts (or long sleeve t-shirts, can't tell) the coaches are wearing....

Cmon, who really thought 2 years ago "Hey, we're spending a lot for Cole, but by the time he has a year left on his deal we'll be able to get back that and a whole lot more!!" Any time you sign someone of that age, you don't expect to be able to sell him on for much, if anything. (Then again, I'm betting that a couple years from now when Dickov goes on a free people on here will be complaining that Souness wasted 150,000 to buy him getting nothing in return when he left.)

I dunno, I remember hearing that Ferguson plays more of a defensive midfield role and the reason for all the goals was his freekick ability.

I'd have to say that I expect Gally to be coming on 60-70th minute to sub Dickov and provide a good burst of energy. Therefore: Brad Neill, Amo, Matteo, Gray Thompson, Emerton (switching inside and out as they see fit), Ferguson, DePedro Stead, Ronaldo (barring him signing, Dickov)
