I have a loft full. I am most proud though that from where I am sat now, I can see my 11 year old son's ptich on it's board ready to play. Yes today's kids love a Wii or x box, but my boy also loves his subbuteo.

Apparently it is going to be this year's must have xmas gift for boys accroding to an article I read this week.

Blimey, in that case I'll have to brush up on my Subbuteo memories. How did the old saying go..? They swerve and they spin as they weave on their way..! :)

Yes Blackpool played attacking football but they also had a sound defence and in Keith Southern one of the best destructive midfielders in the league, if not the best. We currently have neither of those things.

I'm not saying we should set up in a defensive way but we need to be realistic. I just don't see Lee and Rodriguez as good fits in that position. Maybe one, with a genuine winger on the other side, but certainly not both of them, and if you want to play Lallana in an advanced central position, a better formation for that would be a diamond midfield and two orthodox strikers. Playing with two advanced wingers and an advanced midfielder is a very offensive tactic and you very rarely see it even among the best teams.

Keith Southern is no better than what we already have. Neither is Angel Martinez or Steven Dobbie, though the 3 combined to excellent effect to dominate our 2 man midfield. I think you're underestimating how good a 3 of Morgan, Cork and Lallana could actually be. Fair enough they're not Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta, but as promoted teams go, they're pretty good.
