First Adams - then Scolari- will Rafa be next?

Prob not. but its wishful thinking.

messers gillet and hicks have said that if There is no PL title rafa is gone. according to what I've read. But Scolari getting sacked is pretty impressive. Didn't see that coming...don't be surprised if Gian Franco Zola winds up at the bridge

Another great goal by Fernando Torres on Saturday . Good game overall too , I thought . I'm learning about some of the interesting rules like intentionally playing a ball back to your keeper and that the keeper can't use his hands on said play . Are there any other rules that a new fan should be aware of ? Giggs had a good goal on Sunday as well .

To clarify your statement "intentionally playing a ball back to your keeper and that the keeper can't use his hands on said play"

The direction (back) is immaterial. The goalkeeper may not handle the ball in his own penalty area when it has been played deliberately (not a deflection) by a teammate. The result is an indirect free kick for the opposing team.

thus resulting in a goal for fabio.

aldukey how goes your club season?

Due to snow and temps around 10 degrees for 3 Wednesdays straight- the winter league was canceled. We have "scrimmages" that are planned week by week now.

I'm thinking about taking everyone's numbers from the previous contest and applying them to Spring season that starts the first week of March. I still have plenty of cigars to give away.
