Hey guys. Last train going east out of Marseille after the match is 9.20pm!. Gonna miss that. Anyone else shafted by this? Happy to share a cab. I'm going to La Ciotat ...
the time we spend waiting for the ball to be retrieved is amazing. Particularly when one team is trying to time waste, or some cheeky wag in the crowd won't give it back. Or if the ball-boy/girl is right over the other side of the ground...
Other teams have six or eight balls strategically...
If you take this squad: Stockdale; Bruno, Greer, Dunk, J. Bennett; Ince, JFC; Solly, McCourt, LuaLua; Bent. That is a seriously competitive line-up with TWO loaners, and players like Walton, Taxi & Calde on the bench and Stephens and Crofts to come. This is FINE! Excellent, even. With a couple...
Can anyone tell me a good reason why a manager wouldn't play both LuaLua and Buckley at the same time? I'm not complaining - In Gus We Trust - but I'd be really interested to understand the logic.
I can see why you wouldn't want two players doing the same job in the same area of the pitch -...

Ha! Good question. I'm just that type, I guess. I'll sit up watching a crap film just to see at the end where it was filmed. Once I find out it was 'Crapville, Alburquerque' or wherever, I think: 'Why on earth did I feel the need to know...
I'm interested to know where the Brighton players live? Not house numbers or exact addresses - if you're a neighbour or something, don't do that - but give us a road name, that would be fine!
This might seem weird, but there's a site called Explore Your World - Virtual Globetrotting which...
If they are holding midfielders, where are they?! Bridcutt is a fine player and is the closest we have, but he's better going forwards than defending, just like the rest of the midfield options. Are you telling me there aren't massive spaces in front of the central defence time and again? We...
Exactly right, but you have to ask why do our central defenders get overwhelmed? The problems stem from central midfield. We have a selection of decent creative midfielders, but they all seem endlessly out of position. For me, the key problem is that we have no holding midfielder who sits in...
CMS is a fine player. His problem is that BHA are now set up all wrong for him. All the creativity comes from Bridge and LuaLua piling down the left, Buckley and Bruno down the right. This means the crosses are coming in... and CMS is not the man for that kind of delivery. He needs the approach...
