I'd also argue that today top level footballers aren't smart enough to play a total football style tactic. With the push for greater physical ability and the fact that a young, promising footballer's schooling is neglected from the age of 13/14 in pursuit of that goal, there is less chance of a team full of thinkers to understand the complexities of interchanging positions/roles. The future of football is 10 x 6'3", 75kg, able to sprint 100m in 10sec robots, with a 6'6", spider like keeper. Maradona wouldn't have the opportunity to make it in the game these days.

It's well documented that without Cruyff, Michels may not have pushed forward with the "Total Football" (a term he didn't use) at Ajax. What is known is Michels was one of the first managers, coincidently at the same time as Valeriy Lobanovskyi at Dynamo, to realise the tactic of pressing and improved physical conditioning would change the game. Cruyff's ability allowed Michels to take it further.

Im just reading that book about the dutch team. Brilliant Orange I think its called. It was a British coach who put the wheels in motion for total football at Ajax apparently Um, no. Inverting the Pyramid - Jonathan Wilson p. 219-223. He laid the foundations Yeah right

If you're serious PM me and I can help you out. Don't worry I'd rather rather masturbate with a cheese grater than go to a test match.

How emo of you.

Chooooon !!! If only Lane had of stepped off the smack. Screaming trees were another band that deserved better.

Well she's kind of correct. It's not as if you'd expect someone from Manchester to be able to spell

I went to the Sydney v Newcastle game the other day and unfortunately it wasn't even league 1 standard. The Darlo of last season would have right royally fucked both of them. There is better football played at State level in this country.

Agreed, but I'm not sure how well they complement each other, two big "number 9" style players that hold up the ball, I'd prefer to see a "big man little man" partnership upfront, someone to win the ball, hold it up and flick it on to the smaller pacier partner. Sorry Jimbo, I disagree as long as there is a bit of pace in one of them and Ranger seems quick when he goes for it. Sir Les and wor Alan or Anelka and Drogba prove with the right players it works. Now if it was Shola and Paddy K

Not that it matters because he's a waste of skin but why wasn't Barton in the squad?

Pompey are shit.

Are but they are! Go look for yourself. http://www.newcastlejets.com.au/

Make sure you run the spell checker over it before you hit send.

Avoid having to think with handy names that are suitable for either sex: Leslie Shirley Sharon Leigh Francis Ande Jude You reckon? Forgot Kim and Sue Shirley he will be named Dennis?

Fuck you're an idiot J69, it happens once every ten or twenty years, so no doubt your sister will need to stock up on face masks! At 6am this morning it was rather freaky as the sky was orange, there was no sun, so I said fuck it and went back to bed - where else would you want to be at the end of the world? There is dust on everything, the dog was orange and it was difficult to breathe, it wasn't worth leaving the house.

Finally some action from the NUSC! Congrats Pud, even Shola scores one in off occasionally

St Pauli and the other Newcastle United (Jets)

It is quite easy to implement and can easily work for the whole pitch, sidelines, goal line, etc. Problem is it would be costly to install and therefore would only be available at the highest level. So what happens when Man U have to go to Darlo for a League cup game and they are knocked out by a dubious decision involving a ball not crossing the line? The precedent is set that their ground has the technology, so why should they have to play at grounds without goal line technology? You can see the can of worms it opens.
