I care Wooty, but my team still sucks.

Rosebud · 01-04-2013, 11:05 AM

It's an MLS team, of course it's gunna suck.

PS Tottenham signing Tottenham in the summer. Hope he's ready, he's a very versatile midfielder and could be a very good partner for Dembele as the attacking thrust from midfield.

Rob S · 01-04-2013, 01:26 PM

I think we should do another soccer draft!

I remember joining one back in the day when I had first just joined the site. Needless to say, I was not impressed with my team.

Anyone know more about this kid? I've heard of him before and noticed he has been capped internationally, but I don't really know what style of player he is. Any comparisons? Rosebud, I'm looking at you specifically!

SuperPacker · 01-04-2013, 10:14 PM

ill set one up. I literally haven't wathed anything other than a newcastle and england game for about a year though, so my player knowledge is going to be terrible.

Lewis is a very versatile young midfielder. He's not on Ozil, Kroos or Goetze's level, which is why he's captaining the U21s, but he's a talented kid. He's got experience playing in the double pivot behind Raul where he did pretty well, but he's at his best playing a more attacking role as he's a crafty passer, has a good shot from range and moves around well due to his experience playing deeper, on the wings and as a #10. If he's ready for the EPL, He, Dembele and Sandro will be a good triangle. Like the rest of Schalke he started running out of steam in the Hinrunde, but he's a very good signing for AVB.

BF with a good article going through Holtby's career so far.

Rob S · 01-06-2013, 11:13 AM

God, do I love the FA Cup. Go, Mansfield Town!

SuperPacker · 01-06-2013, 11:16 AM

Mansfield is like 30-45 minutes away from where I live. Go Mansfield!!!

Rob S · 01-06-2013, 11:20 AM

Hand of God from Suarez. Bleh.

Rosebud · 01-06-2013, 11:21 AM

I love Suarez. Such a good troll.

The kiss on the wrist just put it over the top. Best troll in soccer by far.

SuperPacker · 01-06-2013, 11:31 AM

If by best you mean worst, then yes.

Rob S · 01-06-2013, 11:40 AM

Get in, Mansfield. Push on now!

Yeah, just so perfect in every way, from his rat-like face, to the blatancy of his use of his hand, how none of his team-mates came to celebrate with him, capped off with the kiss. It's like Corey Perry's 40 goal season, he's so obviously out there to piss the opposition off and do anything to win.

I love it, but then again that's how I played organized sports as a kid cause I learned very early in hockey that as a big kid who could skate well, I just had to make my way to the net, piss off the goalie and defenders, and have fun scoring lots of goals. Or in football where I mastered using kid's loose pads to choke them without the ref being able to see.

Rob S · 01-06-2013, 11:52 AM

Mansfield Town's executive can get it. Of course Corriere dello Sport has already uploaded pics.

EDIT: Just google imaged and far more meh overall. Looks great today though.
