on another note, do we know if Notso is safe and well? It's not the same on here without him. It's been months since he last posted :(

Very much his father's son, but perhaps even more German looking!

Nice to see that he's going to university, as well as playing. Very sensible.

Boreham Wood have a player called Raheem Sterling-Parker. <laugh> He must've thought that his name was so unique, up until a few years ago.

From QPR to Barcelona: When Terry Venables became El Tel

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28327573

Good read. Also clears up one of the views that Venables sold Maradona because he was a bad influence.

At the Nou Camp, Venables was in charge of West German artist Bernd Schuster, four members of the Spain squad who had reached that summer's Euro 1984 final and the most expensive player in the world, Argentina legend Diego Maradona.
"Well as you can imagine, I was very excited to work with Diego," says Venables.

"But on my first day I was told by the president that I had to sell him. He was broke. The best player in the world, out of money.
"The season before, he had been injured and he had 16 friends from Argentina living with him, to keep him company in the evening and make sure he wasn't bored. He would pay for everything, sign cheques for their meals, you name it.
"There is such a likeness between him and Paul Gascoigne, who I would work with later for Tottenham and England. Gazza and Maradona, they were both so similar in their outlook. The other players loved them.
"They couldn't say enough good things about them. They were both such givers and I was very disappointed that I couldn't work with Maradona more."

World Cup 2014: Tony Pulis - a Premier League manager in Brazil

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28220887

Taking in the tactics

One of the most interesting things about the World Cup was how open it was, especially in the early stages.
Teams like the Netherlands tightened up as they went through the knockout rounds but, initially, they were spreading wide and making the pitch really big when they got the ball.
That meant when possession changed over, if you had pace in your team you could counter-attack and end up creating chances.
Defensively, though, it looked like there was a weakness in every team, even some of those who progressed far into the tournament.
It is all down to different coaches using different systems, and from my point of view as a manager that was fascinating to watch.
But one thing I noticed while I was out in Brazil was how poor some of the marking was in the group stage, and that should not happen whatever system you use.
I don't know how many goals in total were scored from set-plays but, to me, there seemed to be a heck of a lot where people had not been marked properly.

I assume it will use the dollar, since the plan is for it to become the 51st US state, no?

I know, there's no chance of that, since no one can figure out how to arrange 51 stars in a rectangle.

Bribery is bad, but if you pay us a s**tload of money, then we'll make the charges go away? Really consistent. <doh>

Just like the FFP, or the US war on drugs: it's wrong if we're not in on it (in the latter case, big Pharma, whose poisons kill hundreds of thousands every year, and alchohol).

Your getting swamped in politics RWAEB

I rather thought the US might like to become a dependency of Scotland. <ok>
