I also hope to see a double pivot. Whatever that is.

I think Ross, Chandler and Rachel did it with that sofa in Friends once….

I mentioned a double pivot down the pub the other day and it was like I'd said the password to a secret society of manhood. Suddenly all the geezers down the pub were giving me the nod, and discussing fit birds, power tools and grouting the bathroom.

Did they ask who you'd put your Acca on with?

Not yet, I think I'm only an apprentice at the moment.

I'd go with the midfield diamond as it worked better against Everton and our unusual shape at Bournemouth and Palace needs binning.

My team:

Olsen

Guilbert
Chambers
Mings
Ludwig

Big Tim
Sanson
Luiz
Emi

Ings
Archer

Liking that team Ads, gives certain players a go at last to see if they're better than the current preferences.

Me too. Should be easily enough to overcome a 3rd Div side. Mings back as Capt' too.

Also like Ads line up and I would even give Feeney a 15/20 minute run out, at the end.

He's got something against Sanson, I expect lardarse McGinn to start as usual.
I’ve got something against Sanson too, he isn’t good enough

I’ve been trying to figure out what this double pivot is and can only assume it’s the way Penandes goes down when someone gets within a yard of him.

Do people really not know what it is or am I walking through Barry/penalty territory?

The double pivot is a move Torville and Dean perfected and led to them getting that all those perfect sixes in the 1984 Winter Olympics.

You're judging on too small a sample size.

Double pivot is half backs rebranded.
