Fair points.

Roy Hodgson? Brendan Rodgers? Sam Allardyce? http://i.imgur.com/S0W6N.gif Jury's still out on Rodgers, I think he'll be okay at Liverpool. Neither Hodgson nor Big Sam has ever run the kind of fluid, attacking football that Martinez preaches, which is the kind of football it takes to win these days. Playing devil's advocate here - but 'fluid, attacking football' is clearly not the only kind of football it takes to win these days. That's a bit of a sweeping generalisation. More often than not, it is though. Not many teams are going to be successful playing Big Sam's hoofball. My point is, I believe Martinez would be far more successful at a bigger club with more resources employing his style of football than Big Sam or Hodgson ever were employing theirs. Thing is, if you were forced to watch Wigan every week you'd probably revise that opinion. I feel they would've gone down a long time ago without Martinez as manager. Really are a bunch of overachievers.

Results speak for themselves. Managed to keep a L1 club in the Premiership for how many years now? He'll do well at a bigger club with more resources.

The lad'll be just fine.

Love that it's basically 4 defensive midfielders.

So, technically, it was illegal to post fixture lists on the board? I'm not sure I understand how any company could claim what basically amounts to a team's schedule as intellectual property in the first place. Someone will have to clarify for me.

I couldn't give a f**k as long as we win Aye we need a morale boost, regardless of how a win moves us in the table.

If BAE becomes surplus to requirements, would you take him at LB if it meant switching Santon to RB? EDIT: not that we'd even entertain the notion, non-purple player n' all.

Based on what dude? Pure intuition. Nothing more concrete than that He's picked Taylor and Colo when both fit this season with the exception of one or two games. "Oh look at me, I use facts to back-up my claims." Pathetic.

Considering Pards wants to play a strict and boring 4-4-2, maybe he should look more to MLS. Majority of teams there still employ it, might be able to find some players who can actually execute

Look at Friedel, that rickety old bastard. Still moves like a cat. Cherundolo is still firing on all cylinders for Hannover, despite being 35.

The blessing in disguise about college ball is that it kind of incubates American players. Yes, the quality of college soccer is pretty awful, but Cameron at 27 years old has experienced a lot less wear and tear than the average European or South American 27-year old player. Take Saylor for instance, 6 months younger but has 223 career appearances to Cameron's 152, even after all the time Saylor's missed from injuries.

We'd be wise to. Whole lot of young talent in the league. Cameron has done an awesome job at Stoke despite never having played RB before this year. Espinoza from SKC is definitely headed to Wigan in the January window. I'd like to see us take a look at Pontius from DCU. Shapes out as an ideal left forward in a 4-3-3. I admire your enthusiasm, Deuce, but I must say there's other areas of the globe I'd rather we targeted first. Gotta rep my home league It'd be more practical to look into South America though

He signed Good just to sate aussiemag, least he could do is throw a bone to the Americans here

Kid's got a bright future. Already a better player than Willo, which isn't saying much mind

Don't like seeing the ManU of MLS win another, but I absolutely despise Houston. Thought they'd win this one, but they have the most smug, asshole fans in the league. Think they're cock of the walk.

Beckham off in his last MLS game.

I think Houston gets revenge. Best all-around team in the league. Just so damn fluid. Ricardo Clark was a shrewd acquisition in midseason. And unlike last season, their strikers can actually score goals.

Scored Awfully nice of him to contribute finally. 1/4 goals is unacceptable from him. Needs at least 2 more to sate me.
