^^^187 take a look at this: Chelsea vs Liverpool Possession: 61 - 39 (67-33) When it comes to aggression, Northener went for the Bruise, no wonder 3 of my first team players are injured! Also his playing style was defensive as compared to ours which is always very offensive. 187, as I said before, Soljiers will be another Arsenal. Soma, I had the same amount of possesion as you did but I managed to score 5 goals and keep a clean sheet. Whereas you just kept a clean sheet and didnt score any goals. Sxb, no goals means no win in football, so the logical thing to do is to score as many gaols as possible. You say your playing very offensive but really you're not. If you only have 1 striker all the chances will fall to him which makes you rely heavily on him and therefore play half as offensive as you claim. Rafa cleverly saw this and marked him tightly which resulted in no goals for you. Rafa got what he wanted a point at the then leaders, which was satisfying for him. Me myself, I like to incorporate attack of Arsene, the midfield of Jose together with the defence of Rafa. But you seem to be a little confused with your tactics and you dnt even know your starting line-up. The formation used by your team requires a mdifield capable of scroing more goals than the attack hence the success of Chelsea with Lampard being 2nd top scorer in the Prem. But your midfield is a joke man, I cnt see any of them getting assists let alone more goals than Hayes. If you continue to play this way with these set of players, I gaurantue you that you won't finish in the top 2 which is what I assume you're aiming for. Talking of the bruise tactic, I hate this tactic but I use it whenever it is possible because that was the demise of my team last season with evryone adopting this strategy. I demand a vote for the bruise function to be taken out like in the friendlies!! Soma, responding to you're little dig at Soldiers and Arsenal. Honestly, I woudl kill for my team to be liek Arsenal. 13 League titles, I wouldn't mind having that. But better than 2 with 50 years between each I guess.

^^We level on points at the moment and your squad looks good. About transfers, allow me to let you in on a secret. If you bid 3 times the amount of the asking price you will definitly get your player, but he must be worth it. I recently signed this dude and he was realy cheap on the asking price so I tripled it because his club obviously didn't rate him highly. Now i got him and his turning into a superstar. Another piece of advice, dnt selll your players inhope of buying another, trust I sold 2 of my best players and didnt get the 2 replacements, that killed me man.

Amazing!!!!!!!

What did I say about your goalscoring!! Pay attention!!! Looks like Rafa got his tactics right against you by marking Hayes closely. I told you, too predictable.

We shall do what Barcelona did a coupla seasons ago. Completely sh!t in the league yet going well in the CL. No doubt this will be the year the Arsenal has good chance of winning it since Chelsea have run away with the league title again. AS I said, Barca were complete rubbish at the time, look at them now. We will aim to do the same as them, I hope. It will all pretty much depend o whether or not Monsieur Wenger buys really really good and hopefully a lot!!

^^Confused dudes!!! At the moment I'm contemplating whether or not to air out my real view on each and every Arsenal player. I shall probably do that evry soon so dnt hold your breath Soma. Anyway that game was just abut damage limitation, we were never going to win anyway. At Highbury it shall be a different story. It was just good for their fans to win that game and Paul Jewell said himself that Arsenal B team are favourites to go through.

what the h*ll? i joined this other league yeah, but my team got trashed 5-1 and i wasnt even there to tell them they played absolutely sh*te. it says the match day was gonna be 11/01/2006 at 19:00...so i logged in at 18:30, and i checked the fixtures and the match was already played.. ok, my next match is 15/01/2006 at 19:00...what time should i log in? help me out here UGS, I dnt know where you are in the world but I'm in the UK and matches take place an our earlier. The website is Scandinavian so they use Central European time, so GMT +1. Anyway, once the match commences, you can't do anything about it, one of the things I dnt like!

...Two wins in a row, 5 nil and 4 nil....two clean sheets...I'll leave you to do the maths. Woah!! Slow down tiger! Soma, i haven't down bad me self. Managed to score 4 goals in each game. You on the other I think will not last the length of the season in that position and I'm sure you know that too. However I do believe you will do much better than last season. You do not have the squad to win the league, some adjustements could see you challenge. I really disapprove of your choice of formation. Last season you only managed a GD of 6. Thats not championship winnign standard. I suggest you play a little more attacking and change to 442 or even 343 like WinningEleven. You seem to have some promising players in Hayes, Kennedey and Tracey. These players require better players around. I don't believe Lipscombe is really able to carry on after thi season. So the fact that him being your main player in midfield is quite surprising. Iwas expecting you to dwell in the transfer market and chop and change your squad. You seem to have stuck with the same squad that managed to get you 3rd place last season. 187, am grounded and learning fast!! WinningEleven, I'm quite fond of your squad with the likes of Zapellini, Mozart and de Olivera. But your players seem to be ageing and there is no real balance interms of age. Your backline seems to be OK but I wouldn't be happy with it if it were my team. you have gone off on a good start and your attack looks really good judging of your last match against BBs. PS: People, do not rely on me putting analysis of your team in SOL, analyse your own team. I'd rather keep my notes to myself How many times I gotta say that!!!!! :rolleyes:

A must read thread from our very own archives Magic & Horoscopes

Soma, You are not part of my worries, several teams can be really hard to beat this season but only if they use the right tactics and play their game. I have analysed every1's team, Soma it looks like your midfield is sh!t, Noah Lipscombe is beyond his tenure at the age of 34, you cleearly need reinforcements. You only rely on Kris Lormor and maybe Hayes since he got 4 goals against Bushwackers, but then again it was Bushwackers. Your defence is never a match for my attack and your goalie(what can I say). One more thing, you have no idea who you can put as captain, now that is worrying. I suggest you read the handbook of rules and see what they say about captains. But hey never underestimate the underdog, even if you beat them 6-0. This season im gonna take back what was rightfully mine. The crazy tactics employed against my team and my team only, got me several injuries to really important players last season. Ngonge changed the trophy to this ugly 1, I wonder why. I DEMAND he put back the champions league trophy as the trophy for our league. Or provide a reasonable excuse to this misdemeanor. PS: People, do not rely on me putting analysis of your team in SOL, analyse your own team. I'd rather keep my notes to myself. this place needs a more activemod Are you vying to become a mod, or is it just me who thinks that? EID MUBARAK eferiboodi!!

^^Apparently Arsenal have made an offer for this dude called Diaby and that has prompted Chelsea to consider making an offer. Of all the money they have, they certainly can not match our scouting abilities. We went for Reyes, Abramovich tried to get him too, Hleb was brought in after making a choice between Chelsea and Arsenal. BUt chelsea did succeed for Essien, although wenger doesn't like players with big money tags and are rated beyond value. 187 I heard Viera will be back on summer time, is that true? I think Arsenal management should hit their pockets and splash some cash to buy players if they are to compete with the likes of Chelsea. Henry only wont save you from the sinking ship! Don't get me wrong, he is a class player but football is not about one player, its a team thing. Well, money has always been available to Wenger, recently some crazy money too. The reason why he is doing this "thing" with young players is that he thought, in 2001, when the club decided to build a new stadium, his money would run out for transfers. But that has not been case, so what does he do now? Does he tell the young players sit back im gonna bring in older more experienced players. No, he saw something in those youngsters that we didn't. It is always reassuring for big players to have other big players around them, thats wat every club tries to do. But, every big player had a time when he was not so big! Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger vowed to match Thierry Henry's ambition of making the North London one of the biggest clubs in the world. The Highbury boss was responding to Henry's declaration that he intends to stay with The Gunners after being strongly linked with a summer move to Spanish giants Barcelona. Wenger intends to continue the club's tradition of developing players with the help of club captain Henry, as Arsenal prepare to move to their new stadium next season. Speaking after their 2-1 FA Cup third round success over Championship side Cardiff City, Wenger outlined he will look to build his side in the right way. "The ball is in our court," Wenger said. "But we will invest in the areas where we feel that we need someone. "It's a question of trust to the club, the staff and towards the ambition of the club. We want to be the best club in the world. "I'm confident we can do that, but as a manager you don't always have to look outside the club, but to take the maximum out of what you already have. "I feel we have great players here, if we manage to develop them well. "It's always reassuring for big players to have other big players around them. But every big player did not have a big name before he was a big player. "Many of the players here have made the biggest part of their name here. That's always been our target. Wenger declared the club will try their best to make sure Henry receives the contract he is looking for. "The biggest part was for him (Henry) to decide to stay, but the next part is for us to sit down with him and try to find out for how long and for how much!" Wenger added. "We will try, like always, to spend the money we can afford to spend. But of course, we want him to stay here. "This is good news for the club, the fans and for the team. You are always concerned when you have a world-class player that he might be attracted to go somewhere else. "But if you look back, nearly all of the players decided to stay at this club because they love the club, the way we play and the way we behave on a daily basis and for the ambition and success we have."

All you people who thought and said that Theirry Henry was leaving, feast your ugly eyes on this!! Thierry Henry has drawn a line under speculation about his future by declaring he has no intention of leaving Arsenal, amid talk that he had already spoken to Barcelona. Both Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and the Catalan giants have since denied these claims, but it is the words of Henry which will have the most resonance in the issue. With just 18 months of his current deal left there had been widespread reports that this season could prove to the Frenchman's last in North London. However, the brilliant forward has always stated his love for both the club and life in the capital and is now eager to permanently put any talk of his departure to bed. "The truth is I love this club and I have made up my mind to stay," Henry told The Sun newspaper. "I can say to all my fans and the people who care about me, I want to lead the team out in the new stadium (next season). ''I'll talk to (manager) Arsene Wenger, to (vice-chairman) David Dein and the board and talk of the future. "My mind is to stay and we have to sort this out. There was a lot of ridiculous speculation. But the truth is this, I never spoke with or met with a single person from any other club at any time. "This will put an end to all the stories. We can move on."

The Highbury boss believes Henry's off-colour performances were being over-analysed due to his contract situation and the interest from Barcelona. Wenger said: "Jens Lehmann only has six months to go. Nobody questions his commitment. Robert Pires only has six months to go but nobody questions his commitment. So why should Thierry's commitment be questioned? "I feel to question Thierry's attitude towards the club, or his honesty, is unfair." Wenger maintained Barcelona did not tap up Henry despite claims in Spain. He said: "Thierry Henry is straight and honest. He would never do that behind our back. We have to respect. When we are ready, when he is ready, a decision will be made. "When you are about to be 29 it is your last contract and you wonder 'What do I do now?' You have to accept that. "What you want from your players is that once they are committed they really believe it. Inside of them, they want to be part of it."

^^I'm playin Bushwackers next.... No mercy, Ima do exactly what I did to you Soma, complete attack and lethal finishing!!!!!! I dnt think a lot of people actually new the league started. Likes of Bushwackers, Waxaro etc etc.

^^^ duelly accepted!!

I just showed the new kid how I do! 4-2 did the score for me. Yes conceding 2 goals was not on the schedule but my team never looked like losing the game. Come on whoever is playing me next.............

The league has begun. First set of games will be played on Thursday the 5th. Nafta's Dutch Orange Soup are my first game. I played a friendly with her and finished 3-2 to me at her ground. But fellas, do not underestimate her, I repeat, do not underestimate her. She has a strong squad if you look at it. Meanwhile, I've been nipping and tucking my squad to ge the best team. Im waiting for 2 players to join me now, which I am sure they will (dnt ask how I know).

people oh people!!! happy new year and remember ur salah!!!!!!!

Absolutely hilarious poll, thanx man!!!!

^^^Thats not nice Cons, tho I must admit I laughed at first. diya, I have lived in 4 different countries myselfand learn 4 different languages, and moved 3 times and finally settled in the UK. All of that was not of my own making or my own decisions. Human beings dnt like change, but believe me,I wouldn't regret living in any of those countries. It might not sound nice at first but I advise you to follow your parents. Peace out

I think she is simply qashin along with all those so called "Islamic" models. How can u call urself muslim, when ur doing the exact opposite of what Islam teaches??? I dnt even think this is a topic worth so much attention, if you can help her, help her, otherwise let her do wat she wants. PS: She doesn't look good, not a model to me

Caption 4 KKK Cat - Oh shit, the negro is back Black Bee - Yeh Im back and this time on the correct side, Everybody get down I got this fool

^^I joined this Xpert league, im in like divison 5, I have my first game today. Lets see if it is better. Ill try to do a Wigan, I took over this absolute sh!t team, compared to the other teams. If I had that team in the sol league, there wouldn't be any competition, I tell you now!

I think Im ready too for the league. I stopped looking for a striker. My strikers all of sudden started firing on all cylinders, I opted to bring a youngster in for attack, goes by the name of Theirry Henry, I also have Patrick Vieira and Mohamed Osman. I wooped Soma 6-0, now im gonna play sincere and woop him again.

Let me show you the players and how I judge em. Crespo Under rated (should be first choice) Drogba ..........Over rated ( how did he become a striker) Fat Frank Over rated (One dimensional player) Fabregas Under rated (Imagine if he was english, would treat him like Rooney) Carvalho Over rated (he aint worth 20 mill, Come on!) Ferreira Over rated (hardly see him around) Soma, I doubt that your views really represent true facts or general opinion of fans. You are the person who sees Henry as crap and shit and Drogba as the next big thing!!!
