When VDV doesn't play he generally goes back to the 4-4-2 which is frustrating when we have players like Modric, Kranjcar, Pienaar who are all naturally good attacking midfielders, even Jenas as the link player is better than either of Pav-Defoe or Pav-Crouch patnerships (IMO this is the worst...

I'm in. Team name - Blowing a Bale

I have no idea why Harry even bothers with the 4-4-2. We have 3 out of form strikers and load up mids why not play either of Jenas or Krancjar in a 5 man midfield with Pav/Crouch on their own up front. It's easily our best formation with the current squad. Even with the injuries we have I'd...

So he a downhill skier this season because he is making runs and looking for poacher goals? He has done that his whole career. And apart from being annoyingly offisde too often at least he does present. Pav is frustrating because he can be involved in good link play, but too often trys the...

How often do you have 2 shots cleared off the line? Thats just the luck defoe is lacking atm

After reading the Deloitte Football Money League I can see why Daniel Levy is pushing a new stadium like crazy. 09/10 we generated the 9th highest matchday revenue. We had no European football, only 4 cup games at home and a stadium of around 36,000. If we were to increase capacity to 60,000...

Thought so. Somehow managed to get close to the right wing playing LB. Anyone know what is the deal with the love heart celebration? Being that good he can get away with it

Did Bale play LB that game?

Mine is slightly less radical plan would be to have him as a DM.

Crouch and Defoe are must stays. 1) they have proven to be a lethal combination, 2) Crouch is a proven CL scorer, 3) Defoe is a proven EPL scorer who people forget has had a staggered comback from injury Pav as technically brilliant as he is has none of those 3 going for him

Gattuso makes Muscat look like Mother Therasa stupid dirty c***

This exactly! Niko very unlucky after his good run of form but Pienaar tracked well in the first half, it was a more definsive choice and away at the Serie A leaders it was needed. Sandro-Palacios were a great combination for an away leg. Crouch is or CL striker. No ifs or buts he was...

One of our better wins of the past few seasons. Our best 4 midfielders out injured, our next best on the bench, away to a team 2 spots below us. Great performance by all bar the strikers. Pav doesnt want to be there but every now and then shows some quality, the other 80-odd mins he was...

Team name has changed to Blowing a Bale Cool.

Yeah lets tell the first manager to take us to the champions league to f**k off because he doesn't start a player that has been at the club 1.5 seasons. Over reaction much?

Re: 2011 Rate My Team I'll try and get some feedback a second time around Backs - Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Gilbert, Grimes, Otten, Heppell (Duigan, McKernan, Watson) Mids - Judd, Selwood, Hodge, Pendlebury, Swallow, Gaff (Harris, Atley, I.Smith) Ruck - Sandilands, Warnock (J.Tippett...

Re: 2011 Rate My Team Pretty good first up apart from Bolton who is out for the pre-season. Also not sure about Hurleys SC scoring ability

Re: 2011 Rate My Team Backs - Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Gilbert, Grimes, Otten, Heppell (Duigan, McKernan, Watson) Mids - Judd, Selwood, Hodge, Pendlebury, Swallow, Gaff (Harris, Atley, I.Smith) Ruck - Sandilands, Warnock (J.Tippett, Bailey) Fwds - Franklin, O'Keefe, Pavlich, Higgins...

Not sure how to look up my last year score any other way than m8rix's thread. Last year finished 8212 Shoot the Runner Verified. Added.

Think VDV might be the one replaced for Krancjar. Rotating these two and keeping them fresh over the next few busy weeks is vital. IMO Lennon has been good of late and wouldnt resting/dropping him Also "my boy" Kyle Walker in the England squad.

I know he hasn't played much so i wont be too harsh but Corluka had his pants pulled down by the Canadian. Walker starting RB in 11/12 and ship these we have now off

I really hope we dont get desperate and pay over the odds for Forlan. 9m, 4-year contract on high wages for a 31 year old who was a flop in England in the past. Not saying his record in Spain or Uruguay aren't great, and really if the 9m was maybe 4-5m and the contract length halved it's a no...

On TWG their president giving the big not for sale speech

Instead we are being linked again to Paul "i dont come off my line at corners" Robinson and Lassana Diarra. Lass would be a good get on loan or cheap, ship off Palacios ASAP

Daniel Sturridge Chelsea top would be up there!

3rd season at Wigan. Finished 3rd last season. Bolstered my squad with a couple of signing for the CL, Neymar (20m), Baptista & Zhirkov (free), Jerome Boateng (1.4m), Shawcross (8m). Sold Boselli for 7m GK's = Enyeama, German Villar, Seculin (loaned out), Smithies Defenders = Dodo, Diego...

Read an article linking us to Hulk. So far the best option that has been rumored

I agree with everything you have said about Krancjar being a higher quality player but as an impact player off the bench I'd back Piernaar. Coming on in the 70th against tiring players his superior pace becomes even more of an asset. A bench of - Cudicini, Kaboul, Bassong, Jenas, Krancjar...

If a good player is available for a decent fee I dont see the problem with it. Heaven forbid we get a couple of injuries in the midfield department and have to play a midfield consisting of O'Hara and Palacios as our creative midfielders

We play a 4-5-1 with 4 attacking mids starting. We currently have only Krancjar as backup. Not a bad signing IMO
