breed and train them, then take them out into the desert to catch prey...it's fascinating to watch really...the most well-bred of them can cost thousands of dollars

    Look at "possession time". Of all the 32 teams, only Anorthosis has had less possession than Juve.

    Also, look at "fouls committed".
    Only Shakhtar committed more fouls than us.

    We don't enjoy possession, we foul like crazy, but we do the job.
    I like it!

    That's my sort of football.

    And I'm serious, unlike the other folk who are at least half joking.

    yeah it is amazing what being raised on scottish football can do to you eh? some folk just can't see the beauty in a last ditch tackle, a midfield enforcer or a well worked offside trap like us who are starved of footballing ability

    I can appreciate any gameplan which is executed well, but if I was choosing how a team would play, I would be playing a defensive 4-4-2 with two DMs and playing primarily on the counter attack.

    Oh dear.

    Well, of course I'm not going to be happy with that, but if we have to play like this to win, then so be it.

    I don't mind the fouls as long as they don't receive yellow cards for them. Luckily for us, Sissoko was able to clear his name last time around, but we still could run into trouble further on down the road. With regard to possession, if Poulson was the player in midfield who was expected to make the passes, perhaps it's better we don't have much possession.

    But lets hope that we don't have to face Chelsea, Liverpool or Manure because these tactics won't work against them.

    You deserve something alright and it's not the CL capitan.
