    What Are You Doing Right Now?

    So... What's it like to support a team that is only joint top of the league?

    Massimiliano Allegri

    A lot of the problems are caused simply by Juve playing in largely the same way as they did when it was 3-5-2. Now, though, you have just the two centre-backs covering the space. There needs to be more of an adjustment to the new system from the full-backs (i.e. they need to play as...

    [Serie A] JUVENTUS 1-1 Inter (January 6th 2015)

    Juve played a good first half and should have been more than one goal ahead, but poor decision-making and finishing cost them. Juve had to drop the tempo in the second half, but were still in control. Inter scored out of nothing due to Buffon coming out when he didn't need to. If he'd stayed...

    I know. And I was only shit-stirring with my comment. Anyway, MikeM is the poster that I see the most insightful tactical points from.

    Just because I haven't bothered to share the knowledge with you cunts doesn't mean I don't have said knowledge. :P

    'Intro' to sports betting

    I think it's just number of appearances this season. Games started/games as substitute Took me a bit to figure it out because, like yourself, I was looking for some sort of deeper meaning due to the form it was presented and it being in a betting context.

    [ITA] Serie A 2014/2015

    Some weird Australian animal? - - - Updated - - - Given that they won one of their whopping three scudetti with him leading the attack, I think you'll find Romanisti are pretty appreciative of Batistuta.

    What Are You Doing Right Now?

    Following yesterday's splendid 2-0 win, Aberdeen now officially have the best defence in the entire world. Seven league game without conceding. And only Bayern can currently better our seven-match winning streak in the European leagues. http://www.whoscored.com/Statistics/Teams...

    I would question whether it has actually got to the point of players adjusting their game to make their stats look better. But if the obsession with stats goes on it is logical that that will start to happen at some point.

    Aberdeen are top but they surely won't stay there . . . will they? http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/opinion/aberdeen-are-top-but-they-surely-wont-stay-there-will-they.115461222

    [ITA] Serie A 2014/2015

    Podolski is an incredibly one-dimensional player. But he is, at least, very good at that dimension. Puts him ahead of the sort of player who theoretically has all sorts of abilities, but offers fuck all in reality.

    Wesley Sneijder - AM LC - Galatasaray

    Would he? The way Tevez has been playing this season, it's hard to see him and Sneijder co-existing because they both want to have the ball in the same position and neither is all that keen on moving off the ball to find/create space. Trying to playing 4-3-1-2 with Sneijder and Pirlo would...

    Could be. After all, Aberdeen did win yesterday to go top of the league. Years can't start much better than that.

    That seems fairly improbable, what with the year having only just begun.

    [SCO] Scottish Premier league 2014/2015

    :boh: We've done this despite losing twice to Celtic. We deserved to lose at Parkhead, but we still would have got a draw out of it had we been awarded a penalty for a clear handball late on. We didn't deserve to lose at Pittodrie, but they pinched it at the end after we'd created and missed...
