I suppose I have to keep Uchida then.
Otherwise, no Asian players and that would be racist.

Just watch American Reunion.
Really enjoyed it, thought it was really good although not as good as the original 3. Also loved the twist at the end with Stifler but I won't ruin it for anyone.

And Cisse - what a goal!

Arsenal have joined the long list of clubs that are interested in the services of SC Heerenveen striker Bas Dost, who has just turned down a move to Aston Villa because he will only move to a “big club”

Dost has burst on to the scene in the last couple of seasons with his scoring exploits, he has knocked in an impressive 44 goals from just 65 outings for SC Heerenveen since joining them in 2010 and it has been that sort of prolificacy that has brought him to the attention of some of Europe’s bigger clubs.

It really was no surprise that he turned down a move to Aston Villa, he is ambitious and wants to play European football, especially Champions League and the likes of Arsenal certainly offer him more opportunity to realise that ambition.

That said, Arsenal themselves need to first and foremost qualify for the Champions League next season or they could fins themselves in the embarrassing situation of being turned down because Dost wants to join a “big club”

Tactics

Game Plan

I want us to play with a high tempo, lots of pace and a physical element to the game. I believe that if we keep to our positions and keep the ball on the ground we’ll be able to control possession and therefore dominate the game. This will allow us to create the necessary opportunities to win the game. We must keep calm and patient throughout the game. We must always try and create an option for the other players in the team to pass to. When we’re off the ball I would like us to keep with our men and not allow any space. Keep tight and pressure them off the ball.

Positional Plan

Szczesny: Must try and communicate with the defense and act as the leader of the box. He should come out for the high balls and make himself look big for the 1 on 1 situations.

Defense: Sagna and Baines are two players who can keep the players out wide or push them back. Their wingers are quite fast so they must take them out the game with their strength and not allow them any space down the wing. Do not allow them to cut into the box either. I will allow them to go up when necessary to help get the goals needed. Rami and Chiellini are 2 world class centre backs but they will be playing a world class striker. They will have to allow him no space whatsoever. If they keep to their position and man then he should be kept out of the game. If any balls are put into the box, unless szczesny has it covered, clear it away if possible.

Midfield: I believe we have a stronger midfield so we should control possession in this area but holding the ball and supplying it to the players with the most space. Vidal should stick with the main playmaker to keep him out of the game, He should also protect the back 4. Sahin should control the possession of our game and will be allowed to roam a bit more but should still stick to his position. If possible supply it to the wings as they are fast and will be able to punish their defense. Kagawa will be our main area of creativity by supplying the wingers when they are in space and looking to give it to the striker when hes in space. He can dribble towards the box to lead the defenders away from the striker and free up space. Reus and Herrmann should use their pace and trickery to use up the available space in the pitch and also get the ball into the box. They should try and cut in if possible or get crosses in if possible. I believe the full backs wont be able to deal with our pace so we should take advantage of that. Every now and then the wingers should switch positions to force the defenders to adjust their play to deal with different players.

Lewandowski: He should try and get into available space and make himself an option for wingers. He must use his pace and strength to run towards goal. Their centre backs are mistake prone so try and force them into awkward positions. They will not be able to deal with high balls or pace.

Captain: Chiellini
Vice: Rami
Pens: Lewandowski
Free Kicks: Reus
Corners: Herrmann

BA-RILLIANT ROVERS

Starting Line Up

-----------------------Frey ----------------------------------
van der Wiel --King--Koscielny --Abidal
----------------Khedira -------Cabaye --------------
Valencia--------------Kagawa--------------AOC
---------------------- -----RVP ---------------

Subs:

Steve Harper
Ben Foster
Davide Santon
Michael Turner
Steven Taylor
Sulley Muntari
Mohammed Diame
Riquelme
Kagawa
Kevin de Bruyne
Leandro Damião
Giroud

Tactics

Valencia and AOC to drive at the opposition full backs at any given opportunity, forcing the opponents to have to sit deep and stopping their full backs from getting forward. Abidal and VdW to take full advantage of this and get forward. With one or both full backs attacking Khedira should join the defenders with Cabaye sitting just in front proctection them. Cabaye to control the game with Kawaga, who has a free role and plenty of space with the opposition defence dropping deep. RVP to stay in and around the box and finish the inevitable chances that come his way in style.

When defending, Koscielny to be a badman and the rest of the team to foul tactically to stop counter attacks and potentially injure their best player if the opportunity to do so without getting a red card arises.

Koscielny to look fantastic.

Subs

If winning, Muntari and Gourcuff to come on around 60-70 minutes and keep the ball a little more, de Bruyne to come on for AOC to offer more energy going forward.

If losing, bring Kawaga off for Damaio and drop RVP back into the hole. Abidal on for Santos to get forward as much as possible and de Bruyne on for AOC to mix things up. Valencia to drive at the opposition defence and get the ball in the box as much as possible.
