Probably Giggsy!

If that is Moyes daughter there is something seriously wrong with Zaha for going near thon.

In the 39 games David Moyes has been in charge of Man United he has not picked the same XI twice. For those unsure, I do not mean he hasn't kept an unchanged team between consecutive fixtures, I mean that he has named 39 entirely different lineups this season. Seriously. It's amazing.

This from Football365. Can it possibly be true??

That can't be, surely. Even the mathematics of that would be huge odds:1 that you could do it.

The season record in the matchday programme must be a mess.

I wonder how the staff in the corporate boxes in the theatre of nightmares have adjusted to the new mediocrity. Presumably spivs in the City are not going as often as they would have  last year either.

Corn beef instead of prawn sandwiches I reckon!

Champagne toasts when they pull a goal back against Sunderland.

Imagine you start with a team of:

A
BCDE
FGHI
JK.

By changing one outfield player for the next ten matches starting with (for example) L for B, then M for C etc. you would have played 11 matches with different teams, with 21 different players. (i.e. After game 1 you just change each of the outfield ten giving 11 different teams)

Now start again with V in goal for the 12th match giving:

V

BCDE
FGHI
JK

Then for the next 10 games again rotate L for B, M for C etc and that gets you 22 games.

Then take a player, say 'W' back from injury who hasn't played yet and he plays up front:

A

BCDE
FGHI
JW

That is 23 and then rotate V for A, L for B, M for C again for the next 10 games, that is 34 games with 23 players.

By doing the same with just one more player each time you can get 10 further games each time. Thus with only 24 players you could in theory have 45 different selections. And that is with very fixed positions (e.g. J only selected as a striker) it would be even more possible selections if, for example, you dropped J into midfield and re-selected K to play upfront with W. In fact that looks like a good team!

It would be a ridiculous selection policy, but then again..............

You have too much time on your hands.

Welcome.

You remind me of the first time I saw the inside of a bar.

I thought: They don't just sit there and drink, do they?
