capriccioso

Nah. It doesn't look that great. I think SBS (lol) looks great on kits. Here is an old kit I made for Man United for FM:

Not quite. It comes from this Chelsea 'fan' I know who used to racially abuse Drogba whenever he scuffed a chance and always called for Torres to play. He would then proceed to suck Torres' nuts.

Put me on that list as well. 12 goals in all 7 competitions available to him, at best, is my prediction.

I have a shit Dell laptop. Well, it's not shit. It lacks gaming performance and it isn't the fastest, but it's light and has incredible battery life. I've gotten 7-8 hours out of it before.

Hi Or should I say Gruss Gott?

Simplicity in itself. Move to Australia!

There's only 3 ways that Wiggins and Sky can be beaten: Do an Andy Schleck/Alberto Contador style attack from way out, to force Wiggins to respond by himself and thus exposing him 1 on 1 over a long distance, 50 km +. Attack on the descent. Wiggins is not a noted descender and Nibali is one of the greatest descenders in the sport. Evans loves going downhill as well, back when he was a mountain biker he won the world championships of that sport twice. As a team Sky are powerless to stop a downhill attack. Beat Wiggins in the time trial (surely impossible for Nibali, though Evans has a decent chance).

On the subject of English sport, Bradley Wiggins is holding down English cycling. He's awful, an excellent time triallist but he's hopeless at climbing mountains. Hopeless. Its a travesty that he has won the right to wear the maillot jaune, Chris Froome (KENYAN, not English you thieves!) is by far a better 'English' cyclist. Fair play to him for beating Evans on the line. The sooner Frank Schleck, Vincenzo Nibali and Cadel Evans form an alliance to attack Wiggins and force him to respond rather than hide behind his team, the better. I realise none of you will know what I'm on about, so simply put Wiggins is a coward. His team, Sky Procycling, have a large budget and have packed their team with climbers. Wiggins sits behind these climbers whenever the route is uphill, and asks them to ride as fast as possible, and has an easier ride up the climb as he is sitting in the slipstream (meaning, he finds it easier against wind resistance) of his team mates, and the high pace means he cannot be directly attacked. His team exhaust themselves to leave him in a posistion where he's 1 on 1 with about a kilometre to go and therefore can avoid losing time. It (just) worked today and thats only because he had a 2 v 1 on Evans with his teammate Froome.

Barring an extraordinary collapse England have won this game. Over the last 5 years teams have figured out that Australia are very weak at defending totals, which is why they're sent into bat first a lot of the time. Its lazy captaincy on Clarke's part to not chase when he wins the toss.

So, we've shat our way to 200 (thanks Mr. Hussey). Time to fulfil the other part of my prediction. I say forget spin, be very attacking, and use the quintet of Pattinson, Hilfenhaus, McKay, Lee and Watson, to win within 40 overs. England won't have any trouble chasing unless they're reduced to 5/30 or something.

If we win all 7, we can claim we're better than Barcelona 2008/09, as they only won 6 We'll just brush under the carpet that both of us had 100% success rates.

It's a prestige thing. If we win the CWC we can actually say we are World Champions. Winning a trophy midseason is a nice little morale booster for the players. There's also a lot of prize money involved and the trophy itself is magnificent. That and the fact that it's something that even the best team of it's generation can only win 3-4 times a decade makes it a top priority for me.

Richie Benaud has a little equation with ODI cricket that more often than not works out correct: Take a teams score at the end of 30 overs, double it and subtract 10 runs for every wicket they had lost by the 30th over. At 4/68, Australia, at best will be 4/110 after 30 overs. 170 may well be all we can muster .

Top 4 finish, and 3 trophies (Community Shield, European Super Cup, Club World Cup) would be great. Even better if we win a quintuple of cups (throw in the Carling and FA Cups to those three). A decent showing in Europe, where we defend our title as well as we can, say quarter finals or semi finals in addition to 3-5 trophies would be excellent. It's surreal to think we're in contention for 7 trophies next season.

I expect a rep for this: Press ctrl+shift+delete Choose whatever you like for "Time range to clear" Tick only 'cache' Then press clear now, wait for it to finish, close firefox and re open it. Your avatar will now be working. REP PLEASE.

On here? Try clearing your cache. I just did that and I can see it's now Essien in a Ghana shirt.

If it makes you feel better you can change your name any time you like on OTC..

You can't change your name. I, on behalf of the admins, forbid it!

More on why the 4-4-2 is antiquated and headed for a long spell out of favour, from the horses head himself:

There will be tears when he tears up Ligue 1 with his unique brand of timely goals.

Any chance we can borrow one of them for a while? We'll give you Welgedera, Randiv and Pradeep for just one. Everyone's happy, England get a few proven test-class players (lol) that'll win over the Asian migrant support and England's spare quicks get match practice. And Sri Lanka win test matches

This is a fucking embarrassment. If you're going to lose, at least do it with some dignity. Australia have set a new record low for themselves, this is the worst start to an ODI by an Australian team ever. On the plus side, Pattinson and Hilfenhaus and possibly even Lee might have a lot of fun today. All about shitting our way to 200 then bowling England out for 150. In the long run for a mediocre side like what Australia has become, it is far better to have a potent bowling attack and a rubbish batting line up. At least you can still win test matches by having a lethal battery of pacemen.

Oh you enormous cocks: 5.2 Finn to Forrest, OUT, and he's now the old batsman. That looks plumb. PJ Forrest lbw b Finn 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00 Forrest is the new batsman ... 5.1 Finn to Warner, OUT, 140.0 kph, a huge appeal for lbw but the umpire is unmoved. England have asked for a review. The ball was full and straight. Warner should have been playing forward but he wasn't. He hasn't played forward to anything today. He tried to close the face of the bat this time and play towards square, he missed and was struck plumb in front. That ball pitched on leg and middle and was going to hit middle. Plumb.

Am I an icon?

Pre-empted it.
