It's raining in Wigan. So you know who's definately goin to score.

Reading at Home would be an ideal match for him to start(If he is in sync with the team). Home Match. Promoted team. But i think other players would need time to adapt to his playing style and hence in my opinion we might not see him starting any match soon.

When is the Pre-Match presser?

I hope too many cooks spoil the dish.

Apologies if its a repost! Young Geezer!

Good point. To be honest, i have'nt seen allen play that much. Can he play up the field, i mean CAM? Is he a ball retainer kind of a midfielder? W Also what kind of formation did Rodgers play at swansea? Was it 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1?

It all depends on Rodgers. He likes Allen so i would expect him to start. Sahin is quality but he needs a solid DM alongside him. He had Sven Bender at Dortmund. Lucas could be that guy. Gerrard will have the free role IMO. So yeah even i believe they will be competing for 2 places but you never know.

Sahin-Lucas-Gerrard-Allen midfield is very good. Dare i say if it clicks, could be one of the best in the league. Second only to city.

Arsene Wenger. You remember Jose's famous interview where he label wenger as a "voyeur"?

Well, Rodgers can ask for a favour from Jose. Not sure "voyeur" can.

Haha! Never mind, mate! Now that you know it, lets grab a pint.

The Partition of 1947 was a product of several factors.The British simply wanted to sustain their own personal control over India, while Jinnah and the Muslims and the Indian national congress were simply seeking political capitol and sustained power on their own. Each of these sides collectively pulling and tugging the people in different directions generated a fierce disgust among Hindus and Muslims for each other that they don't really know why they feel, which is evident in their remorse about what happened.The differences in faith between a Muslim and a Hindu were massive. Many Muslims felt so strongly that Hindu faith conflicted with their beliefs so much, that they must move and practice among believers.I feel that this whole thing is really an a reminder of how the acts of a government or small group of people can lead to the suffering of millions. Hailing from the region(punjab) i have grown up listening stories. My grandmother died about a year back but even then she had fond memories of her childhood as she lived at a stone's throw away from what today is Line of Control. Religious riots are a sad part of this country.People are evolving and the country is moving in the right direction but it will take time to completely eradicate that mentality from the some sick society circles. Regarding wars, it will never end which is pretty sad. South asia definately would have been an all together different place had partition not happend. But something's are just not meant to be! PS: It's India's Independence Day today. So happy independnce day to every indian in this group. Jai Hind.

Yup. Was looking it again and had that backheel worked, Ashley cole would have had a direct run into the box. Both city defenders were sold there.

Thanks mate! I have chopped and changed my team now. Here it is. This one looks stable to me. 1. Taking a punt of Cazorla or Podolski? 2. How is Spurs Defence holding up in pre season? Any idea?

"I guess it'll be Long/Lukaku and Rosenberg fighting it out for the main central striker role, with Odemwingie, Fortune, El Ghannassy, Brunt, Gera (Jesus, am i missing anyone?! ) fighting it out for the wider striker/winger role."- From the West Brom Forum.

Team Name: Roman Rules. Not my final Draft! Still have some doubts. 1. Considering we are signing Cesar, will Ivanovic start? 2. Considering Rafeal wont play for Man Utd(involvement in olympics) and Smalling is a doubt. Is is safe to keep valencia in my team? I would be pissed if he starts at RB 3. Mata or Lampard for the double GW? 4. Am i the only one with no liverpool attacking player especially the way they played yesterday? Suggestion please!! Thanks.

Thank You.

UUmm. . Sorry for the Ignorance but How do i upload the Pic of my team here? How do i get a screenshot of it? Thanks.

It was more beacuse of the injury to Robben in the pre season. Once Robben was back in the squad, goals started coming. I remember many 4-0's and 4-1's in our favour once he started playing! I dont think we will park the bus though. But even if we do park the bus, it will not mean we will play the same way when we meet city again in the league. There is no point going full throttle against City in a glorified freindly IMO.

Thank me later PS: Explicit Content http://imgur.com/a/CUyE4
