I'm not sure about these new-fangled attacking strikers. I pine for Emile.

Do you mean 37 year old eidur gudjonsen who is in semi-retirement in the Norwegian leagues and doing nothing of note against conference standard opposition?

Fair play you've managed to give a worse suggestion than Altidore which is damn impressive.

I think you'll find it's 'atracking', which I'm guessing means he doesn't track back. Not surprising given that he's as old as the Norse Eddas.

Don't know what to make of Di Matteo becoming boss. He fluked a Champion's League with someone elses team but hasn't done a great deal else of note. Did OK in the Championship with the Baggies I suppose but I'm struggling to work up much enthusiasm, but that goes for football in general.

Oh, sure. The Norse Edda won't fit your tiki-taka playbook if you're employing some Carlos Coachalotti to try and win you the Europa Pot, but given where we are in the dog-eat-dog world of the Championship then I'd rather have Sigurđur Fáfnisbani digging me out of a hole, 1-0 down at Ashton Gate on an icy Tuesday than any fancy fucker like Gary Penrice.

I'm not sure that you can fluke a European Cup win. Especially if you have to beat Napoli, Benfica, Barcelona and Bayern en route.

Sigurđur Fáfnisbani moved to the Bundesliga in 1876 though, and has been doing quite well in German ever since. Runs Rings around the opposition. Plays on the right-wing for SpVgg Bayreuth. Never stops running - actually, just never stops.

They did it by packing all 11 behind the ball and hoping for the best. There was no great tactical masterplan beyond that.

I am losing track of what is irony and what is being posted seriously at this point.
