Um, no.

I'd think there is less job security in management than scouting... As for his salary, I can't imagine this little German club paying him much more than he gets as Villa's top European scout.

Yeah, the torture scenes are hard to watch. Strange film, a good film, but one watch is enough for me...

The Austrian twins that were on our books for a while

Now I can't find the game I started...Trent, are you in the game I started, and if so, what's the game number?

I'm off to work right now, so I can't play a quick one. But I've started a 24 hour one that we can play (slowly at first)

It's not like he took the Bayern Munich job. He's left Aston Villa 5 months after taking the job so he can manage a 2nd division German side. I can't help but interpret this negatively.

Just sent out invites for a 6 player 24hr game...dunno if your invites include the password, but it's "UTV"

Yeah, I told them there wasn't anything personal in the name. Anyway, my Risk name is "Xatrius" We can play multiple games at once. I'll set up a 24 hour turn one.

The Fashanus

I watched "War Horse" last night. Typical Speilberg corniness. Could have been better. Based on what I've heard, I'll wait until the Hobbit comes out on DVD Boner Time

How did you manage that? I was denied my request

No, this is not a drill. In fact, the thread title could use an update

Gallows humor FTW

It's hard not to view this in a negative light, as the guy had only taken the scouting job last summer....the allure of F.C. Mongenlachscteinbach can't be that irresistible...

Flacco will do enough wrong to torpedo any chance the Ravens have against us. If Atlanta can contain Kaepernick, they'll win. I just don't think anyone has an answer for this kid yet. Tough pick. I'd prefer Atlanta.

That Broncos-Ravens game will be remembered for a long time.

I LOOOOVE beating teams from Texas...especially the same team twice in one season. Now then, a rematch from last years' conference final. They'll be playing on emotion, we'll be playing on discipline...I'll take us by a TD

Depending on how this window goes, lambert could be the next to jump ship.

Oh dear. I can guess what probably has happened. Henke has suggested a number of players, all of whom have been rejected by Lerner due to fees. Not good. My stomach is turning as I let this news sink in.

Get a bulldog, they require less exercise.

This reminds me of the time I was at a childhood friend's house, and we found his father's stash of lamb membrane condoms. **** disgusting. My image of him didn't improve a few years later when I walked into their living room, and saw him jumping up and down on a little trampoline whilst completely naked. Trauma, pure trauma.

Seeing as we got turned over at home by the likes of Wigan and Southampton, that list looks scary. That said, with a couple of good players signed, we can grind out the required results. The thing that looms large is the goal difference. That could be the thing that sinks us.

The rot started the moment Lerner hung a framed photograph of Martin O'Neill above his bed, and then proceeded to give O'Neill the keys to the shop, and a massive line of credit. The rot continued when O'Neill failed in his transfer/wage policy, and got worse when Lerner hung a framed photograph of Alex Ferguson above his bed, put a love letter in his safe and hired Alex McLeish, who almost relegated the club. The rot continues now as the club policy to slash wages has crippled the team, and put them on a crash course to the 2nd division. (Sorry I don't call it the "Championship") Lerner, Faulkner, O'Neill, Houllier, McLeish, Lambert, and all the underachieving veterans share the blame for the state of the club.

Premium membership ($25) allows you to start 3 or 5 minute turn games, and invite non-premium members. I think I may have been awarded premium membership with the referrals I brought in, I need to check.
