Re: My Time In EC 106 - A Collection Of Match Reports, Articles & Good Ol' Gossip QPR Win / Velarone To Depart? QPR won their second game on the trot to climb to 8th place on the table, but all the attention was on their manager Alessandro Velarone, whose shock resignation from the club is said to be merely a matter of time following his marriage to his girlfriend, actress Mamta Mohandas. The love-struck couple entered into wedlock a few days ago and subsequently honeymooned in Nelliyampathy, India, thus explaining the real reason for Velarone's sudden disappearance, which had led to speculation (mainly by trash like the Daily Mirror) that he had been banned by the SMFA mandarins after being held responsible for Her Royal Horniness Princess Paris Hilton's acutely embarrassing antics while doing LiveText commentary for the QPR-Leyton Orient game. Stunningly, though, Velarone is said to have decided to concentrate on his marriage, and may well decide to walk away from the club he joined barely a month ago, leaving his consigliere Tony D'Amato in charge at the helm. These fickle Italians. - Niccolo de Santi/THE TATTLETALE

Re: For A Few Points More : An Idea For Beating Unmanaged Teams Based on my experience with the 5-4-1, it seems pure RBs & LBs don't do too well there; I think RB/RMs & LB/LMs (or RM/RBs & LM/LBs) may be more suitable. And the central midfield trio surely resembles that in a 3-5-2.

Re: Help With Deal(s) Thread... Almunia's fairly certain to be shunted out of Arsenal in the summer. I wouldn't do that deal if I were you.

Re: Do You Find It Hard Letting Go Of Clubs? I thought I would find it hard to quit my beloved Borussia Dortmund side I'd built up over 4 seasons in a custom setup, but surprisingly, it wasn't. As Robert De Niro's character says in 'Heat', "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."

Re: Adler Deal

Re: English Championship 106 - Discussion Thread Thanks. Took me a few hours to write it (and wasn't sure it was tasteful either ), but looks like it was worth it.

Re: Adler Deal It really depends on who your GKs & strikers are. I expect Adler to be Germany's no: 1 at the World Cup this summer. But Dembele and Hangeland will not break the 90 barrier at their respective clubs (if ever).

Re: English Championship 106 - Discussion Thread It seems everyone wants a piece of Paris.

Re: Goal Scoring Tactics I find that a defensive mentality coupled with a direct passing game helps me score plenty of goals. My Dortmund side in a custom setup finished well top of the 'goals scored' list, with my strikers scoring freely and the midfield chipping in handsomely.

Re: For A Few Points More : An Idea For Beating Unmanaged Teams To quote your earlier post : Now' date=' this is the third time you've been asking questions that have nothing to do with this thread (after this & this), despite me & Soccahappy requesting you not to do so, and even redirecting you to the right thread. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop posting off-topic stuff here.
