***** ASSL press release ******

Saint-Lambert, 08/12/04

Manager Fortin has settle down on a line-up which hopefully will come through this weekend:

G:Jaaskelainen
D:Terry, Bridge & Bernard
M:Lampard (C), Robert, Speed & Gregan
F:Radzinski, Hasselbaink and Bentley

"I'm still unhappy about the line-up, but the owner told me to quit looking at other players and get to work instead" declared Fortin on his way back to his office.

On Bentley's call-up: "It's all about potential... You know upside... All about upside... He's got so much potential that his upside is potentially incredible. Potential... Potential... POTENTIAL..."

At that point, medics gave Fortin his calming medecine and told him to take it easy Saturday by watching TV all day long.

If he plays at the World Championships, I'll be shocked :rolleyes:

I think he'll enjoy his summer more that the last one (for those wondering what the hell am I talking about, let's say Jose was very popular with the Media following the arrest of his father for loan shark and his relations with criminal biker gangs with wonderful photos on the front page...)

Santini is getting a little worried.

JM: No, he wont play, but remember the golden rule that is required for any Canadian team to win: the goalie must be from Quebec :) So if Marty goes down, Jose needs to go in.

Manager Brian Alleyne said " We are happy with the competition and want to teach TVD United a thing or two :D "

Helghallen you are lucky I had a 9:30 a.m. meeting today :)

Baros is one of my favorites :mad:

[subbuteo]

yeah, well done Helghallen. If Baros duplicates half his form from the Euro he'll gain you massive points!

[Helghallen]

Thanks to Mark for the suggestion. Baros was THE man at the Euro's this season. I hope he will continue that form for the Reds this season.

I'm always around, 24/7, for Baros trade discussions ;)

I was at Czech Republic-Germany at EURO 2004... this guy is the real deal.
