The second tier in South Korea might be worth a try as well.

I suppose that's the end of our European adventure.

Try the minor leagues in Asia like Malaysia or Singapore? Thailand? Or whatever league is below the A-League in Australia, if you have a database for it.

That plane crash was pilot suicide. What an absolute cunt

People who commit murder-suicide are the fucking worst.

Old speakers were broken and these are supposed to be some of the very best you can get in their price range. Don't like that I can't put the subwoofer on the floor, but the sound is really good. Very clear.

Which leagues have a similar reputation to the second tier in New Zealand?

Järdler is the first time I've ever seen a top class Swedish newgen. What club did he start his career at?

Netflix is available in most the countries that matter with the biggest markets. Having Top Gear exclusive on it would see their subscriptions go through the roof.

That's missing a lot of big TV markets, especially ones that are big for Top Gear, and how many people in countries like Mexico or Brazil have an internet connection that is fast, cheap and reliable enough to sign up for a service like Netflix? They're not the leading streaming service in the European markets either, other services beat them by years and offer better content.

They might make an offer but if they do I am certain they will be outbid by regular broadcasters because the potential profitability in this case is just much greater for the traditional TV model.

And that's without taking the impact of piracy into account, something that likely hurts Netflix more than it does traditional TV.

I'm not sure Netflix would be that interested in "Top Gear", most of the show's value comes from licensing to other countries, Netflix has little market penetration in most of them, if their service is even available at all. "Top Gear" has much more value to producers following the normal TV model.

Maher hadn't performed as well as I had hoped so I changed his tactical role from enganche to trequartista before the match, I feel like a tactical genius now!

Got a difficult opponent for the Europa League quarter finals, having disposed of Strømsgodset without breaking a sweat:

BBC not renewing Clarksons contract, pretty much kills off Top Gear then.

BSkyB will have him signed to a massive, multi-million contract before the week is over, I bet.

#255597 Corner Setup

Just the majority of your players in the middle - two full backs staying back maybe? Then a player offering the short option and selecting short.

Don't put someone on short option. Leave someone lurking outside the area that can either shoot from the edge or pass to one of the players inside the box. Short option will just result in that player either crossing the ball or trying to dribble it into the box, both low-percentage plays.
#255594 How many team instructions in tactic?
Franck

I don't think there's such a thing as "too many" as long as you don't select instructions that are contradictory.

so having control and higher tempo is stupid?

Not necessarily, but if you're looking to play really suffocating tiki-taka that gets 70% possession a higher tempo isn't ideal as it encourages your players to get the ball up the field more quickly.

Random thought: If England play Northern Ireland, do they play God Save the Queen twice?

How is the club finances looking now?

We're in the red again after our transfer activity in January, but I'm confident we'll be back in the black by summer when the TV and sponsorship money comes.

Should have won that match comfortably. Very pleased to have gone through though, Napoli was very tough opposition and I was missing three of my very best players in Pajot, Misidjan and Ruben Neves.

Our opponents in the next round:

Definitely the easiest possible. They miraculously managed to knock out Villareal.

Last season was a work of wonder, this year is just mind-bogglingly great. Truly. I really can't understand how we can be so, so good. Getting Champions League football for the first time in club history would be amazing.

As I wrote earlier Newcastle had just sacked Alan Pardew due to poor form in the league when the draw was made. They then hired Gary Bowyer who'd just been given the boot by Southampton. Before the humiliation against us he had taken them from 15th to 9th so I guess that's why he survived. I honestly don't know what happened there.

Think you could save the .pkm? Would love to have a look at it.

A really tough loss for us, he's started nearly every single game for us since he joined and we don't have a natural replacement for him in the squad.
