  1. We should change formations according to the nature of the game and the opposition. I don't want there to be any predictability. When AVB was here, he played mostly 4-3-3 and it looked bollocks more often than not, everytime he put Mata in the middle and shifted to 4-2-3-1 we looked better, but I think one key element to that was that the other teams were set up against a 4-3-3... and of course that our only sparkly player could touch the ball more often. Since we now have more of those players, I think 4-3-3 could work out pretty well and rotating between those two formations would confuse the opponent. I actually do want to see it used more often now, with Oscar occupying the 'Lampard position' and Ramires playing where he belongs, with Mikel shielding their backs. Hazard and Mata will have to play on wings at some point so they might as well get used to it and cash in their "I'll play where the boss tells me to play" statements. Formations aside, it's ultimately the personnel that matter the most. Tactics + skills > formation. But I definitely want to see 4-3-3 tested out more with the new players.
  2. Off topic, but does anyone else pronounce Pr22 as 'prää' instead of 'p r 22'?
  3. This competition makes me depressed and happy at the same time. It's evident I'm the one who has the least life here, but then again people pride themselves with stupid and worthless records/accomplishments/talents and even make money out of them. Perhaps I should turn it into vocation somehow? Curse those data entry employers who overlook me constantly Give me the link to that post and I'll consider it Cool, dropped to 15 though. I see 8th place is doable atm, 136 WPM.. I'll try it once I've recovered a bit from my hangover. Above that it goes supernatural mode with 140-165(!!) mutants.
  4. With those guys it would be a crime to give them strict positions. On paper one or the other will play a certain position, but realistically they will be everywhere. And once they gain total understanding between each other, it will be monstrous. There is also a trend going on where you put two wingers on one side, like Brazil did and like we did with Marin and Malouda. Imagine Mata, Cole, Hazard and/or Oscar combining on one flank with full understanding, instead of staying miles apart from each other in their strict positions. It could prove really effective. I can already imagine Hazard and Mata both making runs on the left with Oscar feeding them a bit deeper from the middle. And then Hazard and Oscar making runs on the right with Mata feeding them. Defenders would know shit what to do. So it doesn't really matter where you place those 3 on paper, the real question is will Oscar play in the attacking 3 or double pivot, the latter of which is more restricted.
  5. Neymar? We've been signing some great personalities, no need to ruin it with that arrogant face and pompous hair. Fuck Neymar, he has Madrid written all over his face.
  6. Andre really isn't who I thought he was. I guess I had blind faith in him and welcomed his media handling at first, until it all went tits up. His tactics were shit, his subs were puzzling and he talks shit, can't keep his mouth shut. The fact that Lampard called him "the other bloke" and AVB called us "the other team" shows what kind of relationship they had. If it had been up to me, I would have kept him, so thankfully I'm not Roman.
  7. Equal treatment does matter And I'm not arrogant enough to think that nobody will beat me. Realistically I haven't broken into top 100 yet, so there are faster people out there, why not here. Also, I worked hard for those 2 extra points This is the third time cap has given me wrong points, he clearly has an agenda against me... he's probably training hard to beat me
  8. Fuck you cap, why do you always put wrong scores to me? My record is 134. You dismiss mine while accepting Pr22's, who didn't do it in English either. Why the bias? It's the only thing I'm good at in my life and I won't have it diminished Naah I'm just messing with you, I know it was an honest mistake and you will fix it, because otherwise your computer will BSOD :noexpression: :noexpression:
  9. Ligue 2? Really? That means we've been playing with a Ligue 2 material all these years?
  10. Why oh why does he insist on putting more pressure on himself? With his goal scoring record he should stay quiet and do the talking on the pitch, then he can go to the media with all those bold statements once he has a bit higher reputation than being a flop. Tbh he said he will "hopefully be remembered" like Drogba, not exactly proclaiming that he will "fill his boots", but he should just shush for the time being.
  11. After getting the sack from Totts, Livershit up next? Seems fitting..
  12. You should try to ignore them and keep on going. You can get higher scores if you allow a few mistakes in. It distracts me too, but when I'm fully concentrated I just keep going if I feel I'm at an adequate pace. One thing that also distracts me is that time counter, for example in my last English record I thought I saw 0:00 at the corner of my eye and stopped for a few seconds.
  13. Old school... back in those days they didn't have the luxury of backspace either, one mistake and you start over. Hard work, hard work Still 0 mistakes at your record speed Such finesse! You could have been a mean typewriter back in the days. Mad props neighbour
  14. SUCK ON THIS @capriccioso, done in pure English
  15. Pr22, I gave you a rep purely because you didn't type any keystrokes wrong, that's very difficult especially at that speed. Even though my first result and attempt didn't have the best WPM, I still hold probably the most pride for it since I didn't have any mistakes. Plus you got 69 correct words, EPIC.
  16. Woah, those guys are now my role models
  17. How do you know? And I wouldn't mind if someone beat me in their native language. After all, if it was constrained only to English, it would be unfair towards non-English. You can always try to do it in your second language too. Alright, now I will try to get 130+ in English, but I will sue you in international court of Human Rights (if there is one) if you don't take my record into account
  18. Actually I do it by turns, I got higher scores with English today.
  19. My account: http://10fastfingers.com/user/150848/ I'm really struggling atm to go over 120
