Thank fuck Dresden didn't manage to make the pre-match thread this time.

Blackpool.

At least Ben Arfa looked like living up to the hype. Can't believe McLoven got on before him.

Williamson didn't do bad.

Did you see what the dog was wearing though? Arseking for it.

Nah, mine are regular handicaps. Makes sense now. Aye, I'm not as confident as you Only means I can go when they go in and I cash in double.

Where the fuck did you place that? I got: Celtic Man Utd -1 Arsenal -1 Newcastle -1 Man City -1 Fulham -1 with £5 paying £659

Not a bad call Fergie would drive him down to Birmingham himself. It has to be his most embarrassing signing. You and me both know that last sentence is a lie. No, I really don't know. Explain yourself, sir. Massimo Tiabi, David Bellion, Eric Djemba-Djemba for starters. Could go on for a while. I'd even toss Veron in above Owen given the fee paid.

Portugal have sacked Queiroz (or however the fuck it's spelled?).

"The NUFC new recruits realise the scale of their challenge after watching a 3 minute youtube compilation of Shola, which doesn't feature a single shot on target"

This is obviously true, but it still doesn't change the fact it could be a lot better.

I'm of the opinion women's football could improve drastically if they made the pitch and goal smaller to make up for the obvious physical differences between the genders size-wise. But as is it's just messed up as the keepers are like 1.60m and can barely cover any part of the goal.

New one is better than the old one, could easily have been a lot better though so I'm underwhelmed.

Him still being ours must've mean we've bought him as he was only on "loan" until the end of last season, yeah? Anyone know what the fee was if there was one?

taking a club from second division, to the "tippeliga" atleast compares to Drillo and Carew with VIF in the uefacup. His HamKam performance > his Copenhagen performance. It's still not a fair comparison in any way between the two managers though, as Drillo's main forte have been international football and Solbakken have yet to try that out. I'd still say that even with the Wimbledon and (to a degree) Fredrikstad club level gigs, his performance with Vålerenga (at the time not a very good club either, just been promoted) makes up for it. His philosophy was doomed to failed in England from the get go, mind. I also doubt Solbakken would make it there as a manager if he ever went. Though admittedly I have a negative opinion of Solbakken beforehand, enhanced by his continued negative remarks about Norwegian football in the media since he went to Copenhagen. (I did not dislike him when he was still at HamKam ) If it wasn't for the fact Sollied always sticks with 4-3-3 I wish he'd be the one to take over.

This.

Drillo's performance as Vålerenga manager > Solbakken's performance with HamKam.

Indeed, Drillo is by no means my "ideal" manager, but for our NT he is just perfect. We tried with Hareide to control games and be more established, the problem is that we don't have the players for that. The counter-attacking direct play is the way to go, it simply a way for us to have some success. FUCK I AM HAPPY Grats on you bet Kaiz Cheers. And yeah, he's quite good at getting the team to play to their strenghts and his footballing philosophy works really well for Norway. Which is another reason I fucking dread the moment Solbakken takes over and decides he wants to play "attractive" football with the players we have at our disposal. We'll be getting raped, raped and more raped. I have absolutely no faith in Solbakken being right for us and he's only being brought in because he's our biggest manager name at current, much rather would've had someone like Rekdal take over.

Well played Cheers.

This! :celb:

Drillo is my god. I can't fathom how he keeps making us this good. Why the fuck they're replacing him after a potential EC I'll never know, especially when they're replacing him with the most despicable cunt in Norwegian football.
