Random Thoughts

4-3-1-2
wing backs, 3 defensive midfielders (not central), playmaker and 2 strikers. Depending on who I put in the playmakers spot, I have them push up between the two strikers. Rui Costa is bomb.


When I first started I was definately a novice but somehow I won the Italian Cup and Super Cup. The next season I finished second to Roma and lost in the Champions League quarters to Roma, who in the last 4 years have won 3 scudettos and two champions leaugues. Yet, I have a 5 win, 2 draw and one loss record against them. Cappello, Cappello, Vaffuncolo! Right now (4th season) I'm in first place after 14 games, but out of Europe.

I only broke the bank for Cannavaro, other than that its been all bargain buys. I pay more attention to my coaches and training then anything else.

I suck, but its still fun. Thanks again McCrum.

Don't they remember selling him to you? Or did Wenger not see the incident?

The guy's correct. I use a 5-3-2 attacking that is quite similar to this with the exception being that I have three defenders and the two defenders on the wing double as midfielders. Everything else is basically the same. The wing players have to be quick, defend well and cross well or else they are rather useless.

Still struggling a bit at Sunderland, but that's okay. This season is really to make sure we stay in the Premiership, maybe make a nice FA Cup run and finish in midtable. I need time to build the squad and going into Europe next season would be a disaster as I have little to no depth.
I'm currently wondering how I'm going to deal with Europe next season.

I'll have to give this a try.

Keep harassing them. Just make the same offer again and again until they give in.

This sounds somewhat similar to mine. It's also a 4312, but I only use 1 defensive midfielder.

In my game Cannavaro ended up at Milan anyway. Odd.

-What an awful morning. I woke up late, but still with plenty of time to get ready. I kept thinking that until I heard grandma go into the bathroom. 20 minutes later, and I've now gone from on time to late no matter what. Things got worse. I drove down the first street out of my neighborhood, going about 60 (it's a longish winding road, but there's a long straightaway). As I crest a hill, this woman in a full size van is down the street waiting to turn. She waits, and waits, able to see me the whole time. Finally, when I'm within 100 feet, she pulls out. I promptly slam on my brakes, and manage to stop from hitting her by all of 2 feet. She then goes 30 all the way down this road (speed limit: 45), and then between 30-40 down the next road (speed limit: 50) which takes you to Rt. 50. The final touch was that some accident had happened a while ago on 495, but a cop had left two flares in the left lane and so everyone had to merge over. Shitheads everywhere.
-On the plus side, I did get my check. $120. Hoo-wah!
-I can go get lunch whenever I want. I might end up getting Pizza Hut since that's right by the bank and all the other places are pretty bad.
-SKU.

A judge here in CT ruled this week that all political primaries should be open for anyone who fills out the form with their name, address and party affiliation to run for office.

I'm going to run for something, especially since it's free. What should I run for? Governor looks like too much work.

I'll do what I can, the Kirche did undergrad down there, so I have to run all my decisions past her to determine if they would be acceptable. I think she has mentioned this "Mother's" before, so it should not be a problem. Gracias, sir.

Solid. Thursday as in tomorrow?

The red line is a good one. Goes straight to Union Station, L'Enfant Plaza, and other useful stops. Probably my second favorite, after the orange line. The most useless is the yellow line, since it basically shares every single stop it has with another line.

yeah. one thing though, im basically as far as possible from the New Carrolton stop on the orange, which is where i might find myself heading to, a lot.



there was a point in time where i was convinced that i would run for reprasentative. esp since some 18 yo old was elected, albeit on a state level, last go around out in some BFE ohio county...

Yeah, it is a bit of a ride. Bring cds and look for the guy that claims he's the Tasmanian Devil.

When do you leave? Later tonight?

people like that rule. like the dude in phoenix who got on the bus when i was heading to the airport to fly home for xmas. he was all cracked out and kept mumbling ************ about going to amsterdam, and how he was going to the airport. yet he got off several stops early. it was great.

and ill leave tomorrow morning. keep in mind how fast i drive (DC in 5-6 hours, NYC in 7 hours, Dallas in 14...) ill be there by early afternoon. not really sure what im going to do all day since i wont be stopping by the place till 6.30. know any cool places to go hang out and kill time while spending little or no money?

That's true. I keep forgetting that the 8 hours it took my dad and I was in his truck and mostly with him driving.

In and around Rockville, I don't know much. There are some good soccer stores there and in Bethesda...plenty of replica stuff and the like. Aside from that, I wish I knew of anywhere that fits the cool but cheap bill. Sandy Point beach would be good, but that's the last exit before the Bay Bridge, so it's out of the way.

yeah, once i hit I-68, i really wont be under 100mph very often. god i love my car.



"last kiss" by AFI is an excellent song.

i think staples has had the SAME back to school sales commercial for the past 5 years, at least.

is anyone else annoyed as all hell by the old navy rugby shirt commercials? (or any old navy commercial for that matter?)

Jeff, do this in NOLA:

- Eat at the Magnolia Grill at the end of St. Charles Avenue, near the river dike. Greatest. Omlettes. Ever. Plus the cops all eat there, it's just good stuff. Thank me later.

- Also: Go to O'Flaherty's Pub on Tolouse in the Quarter, and ask for the owner. If you're lucky, he'll be there. He's a DC fan and a heck of a guy. We watched most of the 99 Champions' Cup together. If you're REALLY lucky, he'll be playing music that night at the theater they own across the alley.

- As a backup should the GF dump you, go to Tulane. Plenty of willing girls to choose from. Seriously.

- Avoid the Krystal on Bourbon like the plague.

- Go gamble. Even if it's just for a few minutes.

- Find some way to go to the Superdome. It really makes you appreciate the sheer ridiculousness of humanity.

- Go eat at the Gumbo Shop. Crawfish Etoufee. Thank me later.

- Spend an afternoon just in Jackson Square. Go to all the little shops surrounding it and see the merchants/gypsies/performers in the square. There is usually a jazz band playing in front of the cathedral there. Even though it's touristy, do go to the Cafe Du Monde at the opposite end of the square and if you can eat lunch at the La Madeline at the NW corner of the square. It's a chain but this location is nice and very good.

- Buy some Porno Hot Sauce. You'll find it (and know what I'm talking about) in one of the shops on the Square, on the south end if I recall properly.

- Get drunk, See boobs

Old Navy commercials are the suck.

It's not like I see bazillions of people shopping at Old Navy when I drive by.. Where are they/Gap getting all the money to put an ad on every five minutes of any show I see on TV??
