When did this listing-the-squad-backwards thing start? I've only noticed it recently.

Still can't believe Derby only had 11 points on a whole season. That is depressing as fuck.

This is my favorite part of the French players having come over in the past few windows.

What movie is this? It looks so familiar but I can't place it.

How many free kicks does he actually take, and from where?

35m closer to Ashley selling up.

It's not as much about what he's capable of, it has more to do with the type of passes the team around him does when he's on the pitch.

Checking on Holden?

Probably because Capello doesn't want to build a team that plays to Carroll's strengths, it: long ball. He wants to play a fluid game that teams like Man U and Barca play. They don't use target men because they'd rather keep possession and move the ball around instead of just lumping it up to Carroll and hoping Nolan gets on the end of his knock downs. Don't blame him to be honest.

I'm excited with the fact that we are working towards not playing long-ball. With him coming back it would change everything overnight and we'd be back to hoofing it to Carroll's dome piece and hoping HBA/someone picks up the knock down. We'd be wasting the real talents of players like HBA/Marveaux/Cabaye/et al which our team is being built around at the moment. He's been marginalized at Liverpool for the same reasons. They are trying to play attractive football.

Spot on. I think he will do a very good job at LB. I just really hope we get a natural LB in January as well as a striker. Two quality signings away from a top 7 starting 11. I think we'll go back in for a few people we didn't get in this summer. Pieters being one of them.

Why use logic and common sense when you can just complain about everything?

Good article about Inchy and Orlando City: http://www.skysports.com/opinion/story/0,25212,13283_7143519,00.html

Wow that was a wrenching match. Orlando scores in the 88th minute, think they have it wrapped up, some busch league defending and Harrisburg score in the 90+5. They score again 5 minutes into extra time. With about two minutes left Orlando gets a big shout at a pk but it gets waved away (it was a clear penalty to be honest). A few seconds later a long ball into the box causes more havoc, another shout (albeit really soft) and gets the PK. Score the pk. Two minutes later the whistle blows for full time on extra time. Orlando wins 3-2 on pks. Crazy stuff.

Orlando hit a nice goal in the 88th minute, 1-0. Orlando let's in corner in 90+5.

Bad form, Haris.

Not the MLS, but I am about to head out for the USL final featuring Orlando City. Pretty excited to see what they have to offer (only have ever seen them play once, against Newcastle).

A version of the Timbers has been around since the 70s (NASL), if I remember correctly.

Klinsmen's accent is almost non-existent.

Saw this bad boy sitting outside my bar today: http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/792/32028682483366513357200.jpg

Stop saying Honduras, Ian Darke.

Horrible ref tonight too.

Good hit by Torres. @ Ramos

The goal's been coming too. We just have no idea (bar a few players) on how to play.

:colo: That first save by Howard was great, too bad it fell right to Wallace.
