Ardent's evil plan

[Brillig]

Apparently Ardent's new plan is to sell off his entire squad and replace them with angry drunk geezers (i.e., old and fiery).

What do we think of this?

Check out the Real Juventus de Bourrins Internazionale United FC <bdo dir="ltr">(177409), this team is famous in France for having done that and they went from D.V to DII in 4 seasons.

Too bad the owner has stopped playing, his ht-arena site was great too (http://www.ht-arena.com/juventusdebourrins/)

It gets better. It looks like I may not be able to log in to HT from here in South Carolina.

I'll have to think of something.

[Poli]

Can someone tell me how many of those players I have on my team now?

[sterlingice]

Only counting "non-numbered" players, you have 15 "fiery" guys

Ah. Forgot I'm in a different time zone.

I'm used to the first half nearly being over now.

Thanks dude.

[sterlingice]

I'll try to keep you updated every 15 or so minutes but I'll be cooking during the time the game is on, too. So, I'll be in and out.

Knights tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Åkesson - Marjamaa, Plenborg, Gustavsson - Ball, Anderbratt, Masiero, Boyd, Lupea - Mark, Kinding.

Raiders started off with a 4-4-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Pettersen - Greenwood, Willis, Littlejohn, Thomas - Madero, Prieto, House, Álvarez - Páez, Lee.

The strategy for Raiders on this day was to use their ability to press. Knights took the lead 5 minutes in, as Mats Gustavsson (http://www51.hattrick.org/Common/PlayerDetails.asp?playerID=21724970) broke through on the left and put the 1 - 0 shot just beyond the reach of the outstretched keeper. </td></tr></tbody></table>

In the 12th minute, Knights put themselves up 2 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to Cole Ball, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the goaltender and knock the ball home.
