Yup.

Saturday league > Sunday League.

4 1 3 2

Pincer!

Cavalry up the middle, bring the infantry in from the sides, but keep your armour in reserve. Make sure you get that fat @#%&! of a centre half first or you'll regret it!

Then you can all have a laugh and drink in the bar afterwards.

3 2 5, score more goals than them

if you have any less than 4 defenders playing sunday league you are asking for trouble, because most are fat £#%&!ers they will say up the pitch and get killed on the break.

who did you lot play for?

Mauldeth ...for years
Vic FC, Burnage
Springbank, Longsight
Railway fc, Didsbury
White Swan

4-3-3

I ran a Saturday League team in the Bury Amateur League and then the Lancashire Amateur League for 8 years. The main formation was 4-4-2, used by most teams, including myself however I sometimes adopted a 4-5-1 formation depending on the opposition.

Started with a team called Fairfield. Got promoted from Division 2 to Division 1 and then a couple of seasons later took over Tottington United and ran them for a season before I jacked it all in.

Did you play in that league?

Yeh. Fairfield we always smashed. I played for Old Gregorians a few years back.

No probs... any time.

Although I wasnt a fan of the rotation policy so Rafa doesnt quite fit the bill....

as manager and captain of the double winning side of the camden musicians league 2004 i can tell you that the answer is

10 - 1

the 1 being my mate maz who was £#%&!ing electric, we all gave him the ball and he scored...from pretty much anywhere. think the argies '86 (we even cheated a bit)

you would think this a hollow victory, you would be wrong. we celebrated like we'd won the league, the cup (well we had) the world cup and the grand national

happy days

I dont remember ever gettin smashed off Gregs!! Do remember a couple of close games, they never used to like playing us over at our place - bit rough I think

I remember 1 game against them which we lost 4-3. The ref red carded me.... cost me £40 the £#%&!er (or should I say cost the club £40!!)

Maybe we werent around at the same time. But I remember beating them a couple of times nicely. Did you play at our place with the pitch in the middle of the running track?
