haha what about the other season when man city really needed to score in the last few minutes of the game. They're got Jon Macken on the bench but proceed to bring David James on and stick him up front That was pure comedy
TBH, i'd rather play David James than Jon Macken upfront.

was succesful at cambridge with a horrific form of long ball football, right up until the moment all the other teams in the league worked out how simplistic it was to beat it, leading to them getting beaten every week, thus providing the inspiration for si coders as regards how the ai deals with tactics </BLOCKQUOTE>

Which Premiership team was the first to start mucking about with the new offside rule at free kicks? Would deliberately stick a couple of players miles offside to distract the defenders.
Bolton and Ruud van Nistelrooy did this.

Led to the death of the 3-2-5 system in English football, IIRC. Not sure if the Hungarians of the 50's were innovators of the first 4-4-2 system. </BLOCKQUOTE>
4-4-2 was invented in Brazil iirc. There was some guy who was so good that managers decided to drop an extra man into the defence to help them cope.
