Tom & Scoobos.. so its 442= fullbacks everything else=wingbacks. Someone should tell the likes of Nigel Winterburn, Lee Dixon, our very own Kenny Samson in his pomp, John Beresford or any other fullback who always got forward and attacked and who for a large part of their careers played in a rigid 442 with wide players directly infront of them, see also the recent NUFC as a 442 with A. Fullback & Jonas Guttierez. As far as I'm concerned,wingback was a phrase used when 352 was common i.e. in the mid to late 90s in this country. I mentioned this the other day,its widely considered Sir Alf Ramsey invented the modern overlapping fullback in the mid 60s. Theyve been around a long time and if youve got players good enough to do it and the teamates willing to cover their forward runs the system is irrelevent, as is what you call them.

To me, any system that has a narrow 3 in the middle needs overlapping fullbacks, regardless of what you call them. What system did we play last night?..

Been looking at cheapo Cambridge tablets...bit skint after hols atm though.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cambridge-Sciences-StarPAD-10-Android/dp/B009PM3QAA

I'd like you to explain the difference to me actually, so we're in no doubt as to what you're getting at...

Campbell going out on loan for 6 months if we sign a new striker or two http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/10567880._/

Do manu fans want him too??

Fans of other clubs often only notice their opposisitions good points though. Good footballer whos been told to play out of posistion iyam. He's an attacker with little defensive awareness. If he wants to be a left back at the top level he'll need to pick and choose his runs more carefully, and his teamates also need to cover for him when he does. That didnt help him last season tbf to him.

It sounds like he's trying to do a Fergie; "Theres no doubt about that"..... at least Fergie has something to back up his "full stop" phrase...20 odd career trophies always helps emphasise any point. Pardew sounds like a piss poor spin doctor.

Drawing away with 10 men against a team about to play a champions league qualifier tells us nowt about the season ahead. I've read some reports of the match and I think there are some people with unrealistic expectations about pre season friendlies in general . Aren't they almost always awful and give us no clue whatsoever about whats likely to happen in the forthcoming 10 months?...maybe its just me, but I've yet to see many worth paying for, or even watching for most of them. Apart from when Gazza got the winner at Hearts, away at Tynecastle in 87. Then we were attacked by the Hibs CCS on Gorgie Road in Edinburgh. Good night out that

who got sent off then?...

Strange exit policy...wonder where he's going?...

The Nazis thought nothing of torturing and murdering millions of people they held prisoner. We thought that jolly well wasnt on, so we put a stop to it. That was the British thing to do. Can you see the irony in what youre saying here?...

Nice view for lunch the week before last, Stari Most, Mostar, Bosnia-Herzogovina: We arrived at 1pm at the bridge on a day trip from Dubrovnik, just in time for the call to prayer to wail out from the mosque. Went to the museum just on the Muslim side where we watched a video of the Croats destroying the bridge in late 1993. Very evocative and humbling. The banner on the side of the bridge says "don't forget Srebenica 11-07-1995". We were there the week of the anniversary, which was particularly sobering. I remember watching the bridge being blown up on the news in the nineties, never thought I'd get the chance to visit it. After we'd been in the mueseum and had lunch, we wandered around the mosque and old town and bought a few trinkets before heading back towards the bridge to re join our bus. We noticed a local with blood on his face being placated by some women in a shop doorway, when suddenly he ran back down the hill towards the bridge where he proceded to kick the shit out of a bloke stood in the doorway of the museum! Had the missus with me so got back up to the top of the bridge a bit sharpish in case it err "escalated". A Russian lad in our party said he saw the police turn up and commented that he thought that the attack was "political", which is as a good a euphamism as I've heard Think huge strides have been made since the war, but looks like you cant stop people from hating each other. The folk on the bridge are putting cash into a hat passed round by local lads who, when theyve got 30-40 euros from the tourists, they jump the 25 metres into the River Nerverta. This is the video we watched in the museum: Dubrovnik was great too, all in all a brilliant holiday. Did day trips to 4 islands and spent a few days in the city itself which is a gem. Chilled out at our apartment at Zaton Bay the rest of the time. If you're ever in the area though I'd advise a trip to Mostar is a must though, very thought provoking.

Was Llambias responsible for our former recruitment strategy?...the one you liked very much, and the one that may have brought in Douglas this summer before Kinnear appeared on the scene?...this is just the start, and if you cant see a time in the next 6-12 months where Kinnear will be our a manager with apprently Harford in tow attempting to bully millionaires then you're being a tad on the naive side I fear

Jose Mourihno was never paid to play football. His win percentage as a manager of professional football teams is higher than anyone elses in history. When the Kinnear/Harford axis is in control sometime this autumn you will understand that where you come from in football is irrellevet to how well you manage. Mourinho is a highly intelligent university graduate, whereas without footballing ability Kinnear wouldve been digging holes in roads and Harford wouldve been down the pit. Go figure.

you were there then? If you like prisoners being beaten by their jailers feel free to go and live somewhere where its a regular occurance...

Dressing room meeting after game; "harsh words exchanged"

VGL, Is that the autism one?...

It would be ironic if he was trying to take some sort of moral high ground and then turns round and joins the most morally dubious club in a league riven with corruption and the huge pay rise that goes with it.

I take it the problem is Virgin and Barclays offer specific Islam friendly products and Wonga don't?....

I completely agree with what you're saying re Keegan. But it doesn't alter what am saying. Everything up to last year was turned back into the business. He's taken 11mill? out and he'll take more until we're cheap enough to be sold at a realistic price. As long as we're in the prem he just needs to bide his time. Sadly, so must we. I think KK is coming back at that point as head of a bid and will become chairman. Then, for good or bad, the club will belong to the supporters, we'll have one of our own at the top of the club with real ambition,drive and determination. Then he'll have a daft row with somone and walk out

If the Carroll money hasn't been reinvested where did the cash for the Cisse deal come from?....Ashley hasn't put a penny in since promotion mate. That includes transfer fees and wages. It's tricky working out what's gone on, but the bookies closed the book last week on Sinclair to Newcastle after they received several large sums on that bet. Theyre seldom wrong, but who knows? This little lot may well be financed by Cabaye leaving for big money. That's how are doing it.

Still fat as fuck then?.....always thought he'd be tricky to handle but didn't have him down for over indulging on the old duck pizza...
