I’m no fan of Leicester City, but I am a Sven fan. Sven has always done well at big clubs. Which is why he may be good for Leeds, and also why he failed at Leicester, Notts County, Mexico and Ivory Coast

Notts County was the owner being some shady motherfucker with international mafia connections promising £2 million and paying Sven in stock if I remember right?

More teams seem to be willing to give it a go this season making for more entertaining matches. I reckon Man Utd for one will tighten up from now on though. The team with the most solid defence will win the league and thats why I don't think it will be Man city.

Here, have a Canadian university student newspaper article about Inter Milan: From the Top to the Bottom Half: What Happened to Inter Milan? For the past several seasons they have been one of the top teams in Serie A, but this season they are currently ranked in the bottom quarter. Does Inter Milan have a chance at snatching the top spot this year? According to FoxSoccer.com, Coach Claudio Ranieri said after the loss to Catania, “We have to remain united and continue to work hard.” Ranieri is correct about Inter having to work. Working as a team, and strengthening a sense of unity among the players can help give the Inter players the new confidence that they need. However, there is no easy answer to explain Inter Milan’s difficulty this season. On October 17th, according to the Inter Milan Fan Club website, President Massimo Moratti remarked: “It’s a funny moment. It’s worrying when you find yourselves in situations like this because no one likes to look bad. And you hope to figure out how to put it all right. We simply must dig ourselves out of this.” Some of the struggles may have been due to the absence of several key players for the past few games. However, many of these players will be returning shortly, or have already returned. For instance, goalie Julio Cesar will be returning, as well as defender Christian Chivu, and mid-fielders Joel Obi and Wesley Sneijder. With these players back Inter can hopefully, as their coach expressed, remain united. However, Inter’s difficulties go past not having the right attitude or not having all of their players. Effort is lacking as well. The team needs results: more goals in the opposing net, rather than in their own. In order to rise up Inter has to work on its defence. In fact, the team has one of the worst defensive records in Serie A. All of the Inter Milan players need to approach each game with a fresh attitude, stick together as a team, and most importantly, remain focused on playing the game.

Asked to pick tonight's team on a donny forum and some card comes up with thisquote:442 He hasn't got anyone in net as the keeper appears to be playing right back and has only picked 9 players as he has one player playing on both wings. Doesn't really fit into the theme of this thread but it's making me chuckle well heartily.

Maybe they've just accepted Diouf's inevitable cunty red card and have worked out some system where they start with 10 players but he gets sent off they keep him on the pitch.

Well you see you stick players into the standard football manager 4-4-2 and if they all move no more than 10 yards from their starting position it'll function perfectly
