Good luck mate, FCWHUDYTYA's tactics are in as well

hahah my thoughts exactly.

Did you watch that Chicken Shop Channel 4 did not long ago, similar to the taxi thing with cameras in the shop? That was much better rowdy customers fights etc.

 sorry Olly, they're too deep rooted.

Yeah Viva, that Chicken Shop was funny.
This Cab programme just makes me wanna slap idiots.

Thanks mate, good luck to you too.

Whoever said the Spanish Aaron Lennon thing, I want to know who you are. There's three pints of beer in it for you.

You owe Afro 3 pints Azzarina, Provided you were on about Jesus Navas otherwise it's someone else

I have to say im surprised at how well Negredo how turned out for Citeh thought he'd flop and Soldado would flourish  

sent in my tactics for this weeks game, but before i do the postponed game, do i use the current injuries, ore the injuries for when the game was set to take place?

This weeks Tranq  

Tactics will be up when I'm back from school later

Morning.  Sheep today?

Morning all.

I saw someone on this topic yesterday I think talking about sponsors with the clubs, has this been done before? It sounds like its quite fun.

It has been done before yes, I'd back it for this league because it injects a bit of cash too.

Viva, there will be sheep, if you're good.

Morning,

Viva, do a Norwich themed SHEEP in dedication to that programe last night

I've been surprised at Negredo too, although Soldado has been okay and looked good against Villa at the weekend. I don't think AVB is used to playing with a striker, his sole tactic last season was to feed Bale. Now he has a team to feed.

1. Name a song by Britney Spears
2. Name a film starring James McAvoy
3. Name a position played in Rugby Union
4. Name a maker/manufacturer of aircraft
5. Name a former leader of the Soviet Union
6. Name a footballer that has missed a penalty in a penalty shoot out in an international tournament.
7. Name a television dog
8. I give you £1m to kiss another pretend manager (with tongues, for a prolonged time) who do you kiss?

Answers to me by 11am.

I think I said it on the media page last week, but the mention on the feedback was someone else.

I used to like Navas, but he wasn't very good for Sevilla last year and has not really impressed at City. Whilst he is still a decent winger and would get into a lot of sides in this league, he is far from the best or most rated as Treb's claims and Schurrle is twice the player at the moment.

I remember how we once said we'd never rag on other managers' players

Navas has all the skills needed to be a huge success at City, but he hasn't gotten to grips with the pace and physicality of the Premier League (yet). Given time he could turn out to be the Spanish Andros Townsend.

Imagine someone saying Townsend > Navas last year at this stage.

No doubt he has the talent as he showed during the Manchester derby. I would love him to come back to form as he was great to watch and he has such pretty eyes!

He looks like Dynamo, the weird magician fellow.

I don't think I would go that far even now. Two months and a couple of good performances for England doesn't put Townsend in the class of a double Euros and World Cup winner. Given the choice, I would go for Navas out of the two

I think sponsors with a twist would be cool.

I.e a Russian oil company sponsors your team. All Russian players are half price through TPs due to them subsidising but you have to play 2 Russians every week

I've sent my votes.

I don't disagree. In fact I backed Navas to do well in the PL and I still think he'll be ok. But I can't say one player is better than another just because they've won stuff. Player vs player is a merit thing. Team vs team is when medals are on the table.

Navas played a sum total of about 150 minutes across all three tournaments, come on now

And Townsend was playing like this for QPR towards the end of last season, so let's say 4 months. Players have been bought for £85m based on the same amount of time

We've had technical directors, assistant managers, scouts, caretaker managers but never a translator. Azzy fancy joining the Basel team as our Translator?

Djimi Traore and Steve Finnan won the Champions League. I'll never get over that

Is it a bad thing I woke up knackered

My point is not literally that he won those things or how much of the tournament he played. My point is that getting an international call-up is a merit thing. You get called up if you are good enough, not if you aren't (for Spain you do anyway).

The fact is that Navas was deemed good enough to be included in a squad that has won all three of the last major tournaments they have been involved in, and is packed full of world stars and some of the best players any of us have witnessed.

No.

I find the longer I sleep, the more tired I am.

If I stay up and watch NFL till 3am like last night, and wake up at 7 like I did this morning I'm fine for the day.

I mean look at me now in English, talking to you guys. I'm buzzin

Bad players can play in good teams and vice versa.

Carrick has a PL winners medal and a CL winners medal.

In Norfolk, do you do English as a foreign language at school?

You're also failing English.

Maybe you should look at the whiteboard and listen instead of posting?

I had like 6 and a half hours.

Though in fairness I was completely drained after work yesterday

Im like that, generally have 5/6 hours sleep & im fine for work etc. Weekends If I sleep longer I just end up feeling tired & lazy.

Different for club sides and international sides though isn't it. The players can't be chopped and changed as readily in a club side as they can for a national side, therefore the pool of players to choose from is far greater.

I feel as though Hero should take some responsibility and ban Olly from the forum during school hours

Anyway if you do sleep too long it makes you tired.

I could be your social media liaison maybe?

Hey I don't need A Levels, I got swag

Navas would have had more caps if he wasn't a little coward, afraid of his own shadow.

Hero, its on you if Olly fails his academic year

Happens all the time on the Underground.
