I'd just like to mention that Steve Cohen has not been rehired as the host of Fox Football Fone-In on Fox Soccer Channel thanks to the boycott. He is a class A prick and just as bad as MacKenzie.
If you don't know who he is, he used to be a host on an American football show who blames the ticket-less fans at Hillsborough for killing their own fans even though the official report says they had no contributory effect to what happened. He also uses the good old false claims of "anti-Semitism" tactics to ward off criticism. Dirty ****.
Here is a time line of events (thanks to 4pool):
A real big congratulations to all that made it happen. Very good work.
Basically you pick a team using any of the players in the premiership, they all have different prices...and you have to work within a budget.
You get different points for various things such as clean sheets, making an appearance, assisting a goal, and scoring a goal. There are also bonus points given out each week for the top players.
Also make the player you think will score most highly your captain as they will score double points.
If everyone was fit... I'd say Agger and Aurelio would make it over Insua and Carragher Skrtel.
Yeh I'd agree. Give it a year or two, Insua will be our number one choice left back. The Skrtel/Agger decision is debatable..but I'd agree with taking Agger because he's clearly better on the ball.
The Reds XI in full is: Reina, Insua, Johnson, Skrtel, Carragher, Lucas, Mascherano, Kuyt, Benayoun, Gerrard, Torres. Subs: Cavalieri, Voronin, Riera, Ayala, Dossena, Kelly, Babel.
I would've liked to see Riera start based on the corresponding fixture a couple months back. I'm sure he'll come on and do well.
I think Benayoun is the right call tbf. We need to cover Xabi's creativity, and Riera tends to be someone you find for the final ball, rather than make something like Yossi. He's like a luxury player atm, but I hope he comes on for the last half hour.
Well Benayoun has merited his place in the side? So I guess Riera wont get a look in till Benayoun's performance drops?
He'll get sub minutes I think... If we get a few goals clear I hope Babel can get some time on the right subbing for Kuyt - he looked decent there in pre-season...
When do you lot reckon tickets will go on sale for the first CL group stage match at home? Thematch date will either be the 15/16 or the 29/30 Sept. I'm off on holiday at the weekend for a fortnight so it looks like I'm going to miss the dates of sale
