TSC wrote:"Having spent his early career at FC Barcelona, his main traits are physical presence, good passing, and a powerful mid-range shot, but he is also known to be injury-prone."

Hence why he will be stretchered off at half time.

by The Special Juan Thu Mar 29, 2012 12:19 pm

Yeah, in fact, new rule is Motta has to be injured every other week Whistle

by TwisT Thu Mar 29, 2012 12:26 pm

Typical Brazilian

by The Special Juan Thu Mar 29, 2012 12:58 pm

Here's a question. At this moment in time, who is the best DM in the world? (Busquets doesn't count because he's a disgrace)

by **Hero** Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:00 pm

Injuries and aggression in real life though don't come into question in these games.

by The Special Juan Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:02 pm

I know, that's why Barton, De Jong and Cattermole > on here than RL Whistle

De Jong... Whistle

I agree on Busquets, I can't take to him. He's a diver, poor tackler and a seemingly arrogant little (or big) swine. I wonder whether he would look as good in a midfield without Xavi or Iniesta.

by cherriesfna Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:07 pm

i hope i win rthis week

Yeah I can't stand him or his pouty sneery face. He's luck players like Keano aren't around these days. Keano would punch his face.

I hope you don't win this week cherries Wink

I actually think Mascherano > Busquets, and I don't understand why Guardiola thinks otherwise!

The problem is, Keane would then be sent off and Busquets will feel his job is done and he wins... There is no fair retribution in football I'm afraid. The bar stewards always end up the winner (bearing in mind Keane isn't a cherub either)

No, not at all. Of course Keano is a thug, but who does the football fan admire more? The guy who gets stuck in and always gives 100% for his club or the guy who pretends to be injured after every challenge and tries to get players sent off?

IMO, there needs to be a ban on play acting. It should be bookable but of course, it would be very hard to decide who is in the wrong during those circumstances.

by Guest Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:39 pm

Topic for this afternoon.

Why are there no woman managers in the professional game? Surely they can plan tactics and manage a team just as well? (No sexism please, this is an honest question)

by sodhat Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:40 pm

I agree, retrospective action should be taken for it - like holding your face when you have been hit in the chest for example.

The worst thing for me is people staying down to get the ball put out. The new rule should be you aren't allowed to put the ball out in that instance unless the ref stops the game. Players are stuck in two minds at the moment, it should be clear that only the ref stops the game.

Was Rivaldo ever punished for a certian incident at the World Cup a few years back?

Yeah, I agree, unless the ref stops the play then don't put the ball out. That itself leads to other arguments (ie teams putting the ball out for a throw in instead of a GK.)

To answer YI, I don't know. Hope Powell was meant to be in the running for a Championship club's job a few years ago but I don't know if that's true. Maybe clubs want experience and know how at the top of the men's game? I am in unsure of it myself. Personally, I think 1 women is good at leading a team of men. Look at the The Apprentice. When there was 1 woman in charge of a team of men, they were incredibly successful. Then again, look at the sexism in football *cough Keys and Gray cough*.

by Marky Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:56 pm

Maybe it's a debate for Keys and Gray's show on TalkSport Wink

It doesn't matter whether a manager is black, white, gay, straight, male or female. If they are the right person for the job, they are the right person for the job.

But unfortunately there aren't any female managers other than Hope Powell in a position to be offered a job in the Football League, and she seems pretty content as the England women's manager.

by sodhat Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:03 pm

I think it's the fact that a group of young men are less likely to respect a woman than they are a man. Fans too would probably balk at the idea.

Add to that a chairman not wanting to be ridiculed by others and criticised by his own fans and I'm not surprised that it hasn't happened yet. It's always hardest to break the status quo and it will have to be an outlandish and crazy chairman that does it first.

by The Special Juan Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:06 pm

Newcastle are doing so well that Pardew has to be fired any day now. Mike Ashley is type of chairman who'd make that move.

I have a new TV The 606v2 Fantastic Fantasy Football Homepage page VI - Page 15 3559488474

im shocked

by sodhat Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:41 pm

I think you can attribute it to having Neymar, Willian and Douglas Costa, all talented attackers. I'm not that surprised you got the votes to be honest. In the defensive poll on the other hand...

well if u look at it ive inproved a lot, dede rafinha, luisao etc

by The Special Juan Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:47 pm

Barca complain about the state of the San Siro pitch. They should have gone to Fir Park 2 years ago Whistle

by The Special Juan Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:53 pm

Cherries you have a decent attacking line up but where is Danny Graham!?

by FIFA Diva Thu Mar 29, 2012 4:03 pm

Whats wrong with the fixtures?

Some people don't have thier names and others are playing diffrent teams from the fixture list. I can't be checking each time.

by The Special Juan Thu Mar 29, 2012 4:10 pm

I see what you mean Viva. I'm playing cherries (our tactics are the last 2).

by FIFA Diva Thu Mar 29, 2012 4:12 pm

I don't know what the names are of every team and I don't have the time to go checking each team. I said it last week if people can't be bothered doing their tactics properly then don't expect me to read your tactics properly.

by The Special Juan Thu Mar 29, 2012 4:13 pm

Me v Cherries
Nay v Nando
Sod v Gav
Tooze v nick (no tactics from nick)

Can everyone make sure they've checked the right fixtures? The weekly fixtures are always at the top of the tactics page.

by TwisT Thu Mar 29, 2012 5:02 pm

What footballage is on tonight?

by The Special Juan Thu Mar 29, 2012 5:44 pm

Europa League. Bilbao v Schalke on C5 (not sure who is at home). Come on Iker, Javi and Fernando (Amorebieta)!

by Marky Thu Mar 29, 2012 5:49 pm

cherriesfan wrote:seriously i want to know who voted for me in the attacking poll

Twas me. As Sodhat said, Neymar, Costa, Hernanes, Willian, Tubbs, all world class players.

Completely agree with Viva about tactics, although it does show who copies and pastes, or at least who doesn't copy and paste properly!

I'm fortunate enough to have time to write my tactics from scratch each week, but if I had to copy and paste a previous week's i'd at least have the sense to change the fixture!

by Marky Thu Mar 29, 2012 5:59 pm

Now I have what I wanted from Day 1!

2 Starting XI's!

Hart
De Silvestri - Jagielka - Boateng - Armero
Toulalan - Palacios
Krasic - Lamela - Nolito
Falcao

Pinto
Montoya - Alderweireld - Zapata - Van Aanholt
Diarra - Mulumbu
Albrighton - Robinho - Piazon
Rodallega

by The Special Juan Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:00 pm

We'll see

by Marky Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:01 pm

As I put on the other thread, first come first serve isn't it?

by The Special Juan Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:02 pm

Doesn't affect the limit.

by Marky Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:03 pm

It went from;

"2 TP's per week"

to

"First come first serve"

Why should I now be penalised if the rule wasn't written down properly?

by Marky Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:05 pm

Going out now, hopefully this will be clarified later, but I don't think I should have to lose the players over this.

by The Special Juan Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:05 pm

Because they dry up quickly if people help themselves to unlimited numbers per week.

"You can only make 2 foreign transfers per week."

It's written at the top of the page. Yes, a lot of it hasn't been updated but it still applies imo. Ask Hero.

Marky wrote:It went from;

"2 TP's per week" denotes the number you can have.

"First come first serve" means that if two TP's for the same person are made, then the TP that came first gets the player

The two things are totally unlinked. It is 2 TP's per week, and you have two chances per week (Wed and Sun) to make them. It is as simple as that Marky.

Regardless Marky, you have to wait til Sunday (for it to be confirmed) before you add them to your squad! You can't just add whoever you feel like it at any given time.

by Fernando Thu Mar 29, 2012 7:29 pm

Can someone add fan's squad back to his page its hard to decide targets without knowing if he had them or not?

I would like this to be confirmed by Hero and TSC first Nando, but I would say that anyone that was in Fan's squad is now fair game for a TP.

Look at the squad pages I made for both League A and B to see if anyone has a TP you are after
