Nice choice for my team pic
He got in another defender so he can comfortably play a number of formations now.So, Figo and Nedved against the diamond? Or will Sajeev put a surprise formation?
Good luck @sajeev , going to be a cracker. I can do the writeup as early as today and start it tonight if you want, but any day works for me so whenever you want
i would prefer tomorrow evening at around 5 in the evening GMT. Is that ok?So, Figo and Nedved against the diamond? Or will Sajeev put a surprise formation?

Can you start it tomorrow a bit earlier? Or else I'll miss the start.. Maybe around 3 GMT?i would prefer tomorrow evening at around 5 in the evening GMT. Is that ok?
it came up under the google images...from one of the old redcafe all time drafts.
ftfyHe wasbravearrogant enough and a big enough cnut that he didn't fear failure, a usual problem with geniuses who go into hiding when things get tough hoping someone else gets the flak and that their ego remains intact.
He usually neglects to mention in his interviews that Beckenbauer wanted him back after he took over from Derwall (who was the one fighting with Schuster). But his annoying wife and agent asked for a shitload of money that no other player got for playing for the nationalteam. They asked for one fecking million to play at the World Cup in 1986. He should regret that he was a greedy fecker or his wife was and he let her manipulate him or whatever, but it wasn't the fault of the German FA that he didn't return to the nationalteam again.Watching interviews, you can tell he deeply regrets it, although he still thinks he was right of course (and frankly, it was the Germans who should have known better and found a way to repair that, it probably cost them 1986 as well!!!!!).

We missed out on a midfield of experienced Breitner and young Schuster in 1982 and on a midfield of experienced Schuster and young Matthäus in 1986. So annoying.
True. I still don't get it, what's wrong with German midfielders and their egos? Breitner left the nationalteam as a 22 year old because he was a cnut, then Schuster the same. We won the Euro in 1996 without Effenberg and Matthäus, because both were as stupid as Breitner and Schuster before them. Idiots, all of them.Of course he was, but the point is he also had the bravery to back it up. How many arrogant twats disappear when things get difficult? You know the sort, those who start looking for someone else to blame, get flustered... Schuster always owned up, he wasn't afraid of failure tainting him because he simply knew that if he did his best he could win, and if he didn't it wouldn't be for the lack of trying. The embarrassment for him would be not rising to the occasion.
This.It's a common thing with football geniuses that when their body starts giving they reinvent themselve
This.
Easiest example for me is Scholes.
Yeah, he's not the classic case of it, but an incredibly easy exmaple.you had to get him in there, eh?
Scholes looks a more standard case of the body not keeping up, it's not like the range of positions he moved in or attributes displayed was that diverse. Try moving from SS/winger to CM to sweeper, or #10 to CM to libero (speaking of, that just reminded me of Lothar...). You have to be really special to be effective at them all.
@Edgar Allan Pillow when's a good time? Any day apart from Monday would work for me.
Some of the best instances are those who have moved infield from wider positions typically reliant on pace and other physical attributes. Relevant examples in this context would be Bossis, Facchetti, Giggs, Zanetti, Figo and Krol. Ruud Gullit might be the best of them all though.you had to get him in there, eh?

Friday (tomorrow)? I'm not sure on my weekend plans yet. Have couple of meetings at work tomorrow, but should be able to grab some time.

Is Antohan sajeev's AM? And what how did we go in this draft about AM's interference in matchdays? Because some drafts we've allowed it and in other we haven't
Translation - please ban Anto from the thread.

For what it's worth, I'm with you on only allowing the main manager to argue his case. We didn't do that in the first round though.
Nah, it's not that I have a problem if it's approved, I just want to know in advance not to get emotionally involved in this and go into a massive headache
So we have so far
Friday:
EAP vs kps88 (3pm)
Viva vs sajeev (3pm if it's okay with sajeev?)
Saturday:
NM vs Cutch
tba:
Joga vs Boris
Nah it's fine by me, just not sure I'll be around a computer for the first few hours but I'll try catching up from my laptop.
Nah it's okay, I'm not sure yet when I'll leave home but I think it might be around 6-ish, so I hope to get the first hour of the game than I'll be on my phone for a few hoursThat's no good mate. Missing the start of games can be costly, or can make them fizzle out as the entire manager interaction is lost. Agree a time with sajeev where you will be able to exchange blows for the first couple of hours at least.
@sajeev, I can help out of course but you should defo be there VJ. If there's any point in AMs, it is that the discussion can be kept alive amid personal commitments.
