Well I'm a student and I work part-time at Burger King, so sa you can imagine, my cash inflow isn't exactly skyrocketing at the moment.

The one-off installation is $100, and the monthly subscription fee is $70 a month. I know that's not exactly a huge amount, but I can't really afford to pay it all by myself :sob:

Not really; it's worth it I guess. The hardest part is waiting a day for it to download, and making sure I don't find out the result beforehand (not going on MSN and making sure I don't accidentally let my homepage (the forums) load when I open FireFox).

Then of course there's always gonna be some idiot who (despite me yelling at them a million times not to) blurts out the result in the midst of a conversation :groan:

Cristiano Ronaldo has looked very good over the past few weeks, linking up nicely with Giggs and finally learning how to pass the ball. You must not have seen him lately because he is improving greatly.
1month ago, Allen Smith and Scholes had fight with him, and they told Ferguson they wont Continue on playing unless C.Ronaldo changes, anyhow maybe your right he changed, but still i can't believe it....

that's horrible.i hate it when i have to watch a replay when i miss an actual match.

it's awfully diligent of you to download every single match though,alot of other people without coverage don't bother.

Martin for example:D

Messina - Juventus

Stadio San Filippo

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus are back on track following their win over Udinese, but will they use the new tactical system in Sicily?

Fabio Capello gambled with a 3-4-3 formation in Turin last week and emerged with a 2-1 victory that eased the pressure on the Bianconeri. Alessandro Del Piero, David Trezeguet and Zlatan Ibrahimovic might be considered too much of a risk away to Messina, where the home side has only lost twice this season. Olivier Kapo and Alessio Tacchinardi are likely to miss out with injury, while Pavel Nedved is close to a comeback after a month out with a knee problem.

Messina’s away form is very poor, but few teams have emerged from the Stadio San Filippo with anything. Midfielder Coppola is suspended, while Jorge Mamede, Luca Fusco and ex-Juve player Nicola Amoruso are doubts. Arturo Di Napoli looks set to start after his controversial goal in the 2-2 draw at Siena last Sunday.

It seems dp will be on the bench


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Messina (probable): Storari; Zoro, Rezaei, Zanchi, Parisi; Iliev, Giampa, Donati, Sullo; Zampagna, Di Napoli

Juventus (probable): Buffon; Zebina, Thuram, Cannavaro, Pessotto; Camoranesi, Emerson, Blasi, Zambrotta; Trezeguet, Ibrahimovic

With the Madrid game just days away Capello should stick with the 442 instead of the trident,although I'm worried that Messina could get the better of us because of the 442's inflexibility compared to the 343.

the 343 has no long term future, he played it against udinese but i doubt he will play it agen, against good teams with only 3 defenders we get ripped apart, especially with zabina as 1 of them. i barely trust him in a bak 4! He might be able to play a 433 but i think the 343 is utter crap and shud never be tried against the big teams.

He is indeed. As I previously said, when I first saw him in action for United I didn't think there was any hope for him. He was pathetic in terms of holding onto the ball when he should release it and taking on too many defenders, trying too many tricks just to end up losing possession, but he's a lot better now. His passing and crossing skills have improved and most importantly his decision making. If Cristiano can do it then so can Zlatan.
