  1. Napoli's gameplan is based almost entirely on the counterattack, they don't have much else. Probably the reason you highlighting Hamsik giving it away. They try to hit the passes quickly and sometimes speculatively rather than hold possession. No idea why Pandev plays every week and Insigne sits on the bench. Yeah, they look like they're out of ideas most times they go forwards. Guess in a way it's impressive they're so close to Juve given this mentality. It's imes like this - 1-0 down, away to a resolute-looking Lazio (despite their recent form) - where that game plan comes unstuck. And when your game plan comes unstuck in that fashion, you form a reliance on one or two players and in Napoli's case, Cavani. Mazzarri is a very shrewd tacticion, one of the best in Serie A. He generally gets results. Absolutely terrble at handling young players though and the lack of an alternative gameplan will probably mean they fall short of Juve.

  3. Really? he's excellent. Having a really good season. Fair enough. Genuinely can't remember thinking "wow, he's a really good player" when I've watched him. Probably only half a dozen times, mind. Watching Lazio-Napoli and all he's done is give the ball away. I realise he's now going to score. Admittedly, he has nothing on Phil Neville. But he's still quite good.

  5. Either could end up with a trip to Guernsey since they got through too.
  6. Actually, ignore that. Those stats are clearly fucking bullshit considering Arsenal's
  7. Bit of poetic licence there like. http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/7545/attendances.png
  8. God this is already 10 times worse than Giggs and Williamson for Pompey combined.

    LOL at Lolro

    What are you talking about you clown.
  10. Anzhi didn't want to sell him, that was his buyout clause. They matched it and he just disappeared without saying bye according to Hiddink.

    Actually no he got QPR wrong, still.

    Everybody laughed at Hogan, but so far he's got every result right with 2 perfect scores. Plus his '40-1' prediction was only 1 digit out.
  13. They actually bought Jenas as well Not on loan, bought on an 18 month contract.
  14. An away point for Hartlepool, the great escape is on.
  15. Didn't even realise that game was being played.
  16. Wonder if Lampard will break Tambling's record. Actually, I don't give a fuck.
  17. My Boro mate said to me as soon as they got into January they'd start losing every week. Prophetic in the extreme.
