Sons FC

Good lad! Welcome back. Sorry for missing you out. Join in now, the way the games are going, you're not very far behind!

Kopsy - better formation and good attacking shape. Pompers...because... Muttley- easiest draw he could have. Golden Boy - good shape and attacking intent

Haguey for the first game - great shape and looks as if he has a little better quality. Barry for his attacking intent. Chase for a great shape and attacking intent. Courtesy vote for Trueblue.

Another tight game - I have gone for the Old Git because of his attacking intent.

Darius's line up is much more attack minded - looking to play higher up the pitch and this will pile the pressure on Mr Wallin's defence. Having said that Mr W's defence look pretty solid - good shape but fairly limited options to get the ball up the pitch. Tricky but I think this is a nailed on draw.

In a closed stadium there would be no problem but in an open stadium, outside about 10 feet from the system, they are effectively air conditioning the rest of the World.

No it isn't.

I like your thinking Sysi!

Of course it is ok!!

Of course it's fine. We are here to help, not hinder!

Or...it is the cause of, and the solution to, all of life's problems. (Thanks Homer).

At the top left hand side go into the third heading that reads "players". Inside there are drop down menus for each player with a variety of arrow options.

Sorry to hear that Deisler, our predication leagues companion but fully understand.

Great - well done and thanks. I copied some of the text from the 2018 World Cup thread - remember then? The blissful time when dark mode wasn't a thing!

What was wrong with his post?

Here we go again. This time the World Cup is taking place in even more controversial circumstances than Russia four years ago. The centre of the biggest corruption scandal ever in football, the deaths of so many immigrants and other workers in the construction of the stadia and the human rights record of Quatar do not make this an easy tournament but it is the World Cup and it goes ahead.

Football Formation Creator - Make Your Team and Share Tactics (buildlineup.com) - I don't know how to put this at the bottom!

I would have thought the "ian" suffix is more closely defined as "like", or "related to", in a general associative sense, rather than family relations.

Exactly. This all stems from the M15 exposure of Christine Lee as a Chinese spy. She did a lot of work on the China APPG and was then condemned across the parties and across the Houses - no Tory conspiracy here.

I can understand the point but even then a casual glance at my Sky guide showed that only about a dozen or so channels were involved, while nearly 300 weren't. Plenty of choice if you didn't want to watch.
