's counter response as a resource to an adverse situation. A brief offensive action, moved, combined and without error that decides the outcome of two games. The day of Champions League left us two brilliant examples of how to run a counter and swing the outcome in your favor. Although the details differ skip between them, the situation is virtually unchanged. The meetings in question were the Milan - Tottenham and Arsenal - Barcelona.

Contextualization San Siro would be summarized in one of the local attacks (minute 79), persistent for the second half, and a very well-crafted defense of the Spurs. Ibrahimovic tries to filter a pass to break the first line of pressure but finds Tottenham theft Sandro (0'2 "). The Brazilian assists its referent, Modric, who turns his body towards the opponent at the same field time that Lennon uncheck accelerates in Ibrahimovic's back. The Croatian navigated a light touch and pressure milanista Lennon gets the ball (0'4 ") on home soil with space ahead: perfect situation to exploit its strengths . In just six seconds of an attack has passed rossonero a friendly against the Spurs.

Nesta movement leaves only Crouch

just five seconds later, Lennon is facing Thiago Silva on the edge of the penalty area. It's a two for two: Lennon & Crouch and Thiago Silva & Nesta. The English end with a touch of dodge ball to Thiago Silva (0.10) and Nesta try to block the shot in the area. Crouch is automatically unmarked in the penalty spot, receives the pass from Lennon and crossing the ball scores (0 '13). Just fifteen seconds passed since the theft and define Sandra Crouch. A very short space of time may well have defined a playoff. Sandro interception, receipt of Modric, the uncheck and Lennon's career, his dribble and the definition of Crouch. Wonderful.

very similar situation which came a day later in the Emirates. In time of similar encounter (minute 82) to the San Siro, with a tie score and the changes that seemed all made decisive, Barcelona right wing attack. The video that illustrates this entry shows the exact moment where Koscielny moves in to intercept a pass in their own area and assists Bendtner (0'2 "), the starting point in a succession of movements which become decisive in setting the perfect counterattack.

Cesc is released and three of Barcelona are on the ball

First, glaring error Barcelona players (up to three) will cover the pass from Bendtner (0'4 ") Wilshere leaving a clear passing lane. Busquets emphasize movement, leaving Cesc, which is already endangered in essence, and that will be key in accelerating the move. Secondly, Wilshere gets the ball and assist the first touch and an unmarked Cesc (0'5 ") which outlines his body in a turned-fabulous view of the situation for a control-oriented and send a ball. Finally, Nasri, who had begun his career when he receives the ball Bentdner (0'4 "), refers to the assistance of Cesc (0.10") at the edge of the area of \u200b\u200bBarcelona and stops to wait for their peers . By cutting open a passing lane (0'14 ") and Arshavin against manual defines a football (0.16).

3x1 Barcelona and two Arsenal players free

the same time it took Arsenal and Tottenham in making a move to attack based on various movements perfect. Both moves are reminiscent of the famous race Theo Walcott at Anfield in 2009 in a quarter-final of the Champions League, although this time, we should emphasize the merit of rapid flooding of the Arsenal player.

R's on the Road............ To Middlesbrough.

This Saturday the "long ol poke" up north takes us to Middlesbrough as Rangers' look to build/recover from Tuesday nights win/loss/draw against Ipswich.
Here are a few hints and tips for those making the journey to Teeside.



The Stadium.

Current Capacity – 35,100

Middlesbrough were founded in 1876 by Middlesbrough Cricket team players so they could keep fit during the winter. The club turned professional in 1889 but returned to amateur status in 1892. In 1899 the club turned professional permanently and it took them three years to gain promotion into the First Division.
The club moved into a new ground in time for the start of their first season in the time flight. Ayresome Park was Middlesbrough’s home from 1903 for 92 years before the club moved into the brand new Riverside Stadium in 1995. The original Ayresome Park gates have been incorporated in front of the ground along with two statues. The Riverside Stadium was built in a lightening quick 32 weeks.
In 1986 the club came close to folding due to financial difficulties but were saved by a consortium led by the current Club Chairman Steve Gibson.
The club won their first major silverware under the guidance of Steve McLaren in 2004 when they beat Bolton in the League Cup Final, running out 2-1winners.
Just two years later Middlesbrough reached the UEFA Cup Final, after coming back from 3-0 down in two previous fixtures, unfortunately the club were unable to overcome Sevilla and lost 4-0.
For this fixture the away fans will be housed in the South Stand, around 4,500 fans can be housed in there. The leg room is decent but the concourse at the back could get very cramped if there is a decent following at this fixture. There is a Ladbrokes and screens on the concourse, which do show the match once its kicked off, and a list of rough prices from food are listed in the usual grub section.



The History between the teams.

At Middlesbrough (21)

Middlesbrough 12
QPR 5
Draw 4

Before last season's 2-0 defeat, both goals were penalties, a League fixture had not occured 8th November 1997 when Middlesbrough ran out clear 3-0 winners. Middlesbrough also beat Rangers’ in the FA Cup 3rd round replay at the Riverside in the same season when they won 2-0.
Rangers’ last win on Teeside came in January 1993 when they won 1-0 courtesy of a Les Ferdinand winner. Incidentally that is the last time the R’s scored at Boro’ so there is some history to be written, if a Rangers’ player can put one in the back of the net.



How to get there.

By Car:- The postcode to get you there today is TS3 6RS.
Go up the M1 to junction 32 and join the M18. On the M18 come off at junction 2 and join the A1 (alternatively you can just use the A1 from the start). Leave the A1 at junction 49 and join the A168, which leads onto the A19 and then onto the A66 (just follow the signs for Teeside). You will pass Darlington’s new(ish) ground along the way. As you enter Middlesbrough you will see the Riverside Stadium signposted.
There is no official parking at the Riverside so it has been advised that you follow signs for ‘away coaches’, this will lead you towards a host of private car parking areas that will cost in the region of £4-5 and is a 15-20 minute walk from the stadium.

By Train:- The ground is a walkable distance from the train station so here’s a rough guide on how to get to your destination.
Leaving the station via the main entrance you take a left onto Zetland Road and then another left onto Albert Road and go under the railway bridge. After going under the bridge turn immediately right onto Bridge Street East, going past the Bridge pub and take the next right onto Wynward Way. The stadium is just down this road.


Pubs 'n' Grub.

After reading reviews the pubs that are recommended are Doctor Browns just at the bottom of Corporation Road in the City Centre and Barracuda on Albert Road in the City Centre. The Bridge Pub by the train station isn’t recommended to away fans, but if you’re not wearing colours then I can’t see any harm in paying them a visit.
The usual host of food outlets are available in the City Centre but there isn’t much available around the ground.
A few prices of the food inside the ground are as follows :- balti pies (£1.80), minced beef pies (£1.80), rollover sausages (£2.40), cheeseburgers (£2.40), pizza (£2.30), chips (£1.50) and curry sauce (£0.50).

Russian Officers In Racy Video Row

Russian customs officers claim they only wanted to humorously depict the lavish lifestyle that comes with their government jobs in a racy new video, but Prime Minister Vladimir Putin isn't laughing.

Reuters is reporting that Putin rebuked the head of his country's customs service offices after a clip which shows a group of normally strait-laced officers going wild in their offices became a viral YouTube smash this week.
Set to a Russian hip-hop soundtrack, the sexy video shows the officers in Vladivostok dancing, swigging champagne and dive-bombing across the floor, while another scene depicts a lingerie-clad female officer rubbing customs documents against her breasts. These segments are intercut with shots of a mysterious Batman-like figure, perhaps an intentional dig at Putin, who was infamously referred to as the character in one of WikiLeaks' leaked U.S. State Department cables.

"I also like a laugh and a joke, but artistic creativity is best left for the house of culture," Putin is quoted as saying by the AFP. "Their talent needs to be put to use somewhere else. But not at work. At work they need to work on implementing customs rules and doing their job."

14 Cup Finals

Nottingham Forest, history now it is all about Tuesday night and the visit of Sven-Goran Eriksson's and his Leicester City side. They have not lost in the last eight game a run that must end Tuesday.

Results around Cardiff helped them out again today with only Swansea City of the top six won and of course Nottingham Forest.

What I will say about the Forest game Cardiff, maybe in the eyes of the management, away fans eyes and the thousands of fans watching naughty feeds on the internet they deserved to get something from the game. However, for all the chances if the ball doesn’t go in the net it means nothing. You can play all the pretty football in the world but if you don’t score and win it means little to the majority of fans.

They are only 14 games left to secure automatic promotion! a play-off spot in my book will be a failure. The play-offs are a pressure cooker a lottery on club would want and after last season something I could do without.

Every game left is and must be treated as a cup final. Form means nothing these days particularly in the Championship as we seen again yesterday with bottom club Preston get a draw with top of the QPR. Scunthorpe took all three points off Forest mid-week.

The pundits say we have the team to win promotion and go on about Craig Bellamy, Michael Chopra and Jay Bothroyd but we need a team, not individual players. It takes blood and guts to be shed at a time like this the team must lock together. On Tuesday night take a minute to look around the stadium at 20,000 plus fans, they paid good money to watch the game and when you move on they will still be there.

The fans have they piece in this, support the team with your voices, hands and flags. Chant about the players, the team, the manager and forget about England/Wales crap it should be about CARDIFF CITY.

If you are first you are first. If you are second, you are nothing. - Bill Shankly Liverpool manager.

The person that said winning isn't everything, never won anything. -Mia Hamm American female soccer player.

It a full fixture list for the Championship Tuesday here are the top seven

(4) Cardiff v (7) Leicester

(15) Coventry v (3) Swansea

(6) Leeds v (14) Barnsley

(5) Norwich v (17) Doncaster

(2) Nottingham Forest v (24) Preston

(1) QPR v (13) Ipswich

() donates league position

Looks like it us (Cardiff) again with the game of the night as rivals fish for points in the lower half of the Championship league table. A win for the visitors could see them in the top six.

Calories In Veggie Stir Fry

The feeling of suffocation caused by the edge of the drop is incomparable to any other decision of a league table . While the European places are most competitive never-five teams qualify for four seats and there is even favorite take the Premier League ", the decline covers eight points in just ten positions. Direct duels, tension in every game and not always self-reliance. Surprised to see teams like Everton or Aston Villa in late position but presumably more or less suffering will eventually solve their problems.

First, would a group of teams that finish the season without pain or glory, one beyond their means (Stoke City) and others wishing he had better start (Everton, Aston Villa). Those of Tony Pulis is an example of how to make an ideology game and squeeze every last point. Both Everton and Aston Villa began as the negative surprises but inertia has allowed them to take pace. The 'Toffees' Premier combine their progress with a boost in FA Cup, while Aston Villa is using the signing of Bent and its own quarry. Also Blackburn, who has fully exploited its resources and, if everything continues as it seems, have no problem in staying.

There is another group consisting of Newcastle, Fulham and Birmingham, the theory says it will end up saving. The Newcastle should live, not without problems, the income obtained with Carroll as a striker. Now, orphans of a reference, each point will be a world for them. Fulham were clinging to the imminent return of Bobby Zamora and the good run they have achieved (8 points from the previous 15) plus the latest draw against Chelsea, which may well be a victory Dempsey had not missed the penalty. Finally, in the Birmingham highlight the good work during the winter to be with Bentley, which has already been instrumental in two games since playing at St Andrews. The wide player is intended to be understood like a charm with Zigic, who seems to have done-finally-with a hole in the side.

Zamora's return seems paramount

inevitable that Blackpool is presumed, West Brom, Wigan, West Ham and Wolves will play the relegation zone. Five teams to three positions. Both Blackpool and WBA, newly promoted, started the year in a superb form but have been involved in a disastrous run of results despite the good game (not always good, but attractive, fun) that have been relegated to the tail classification. Wigan Roberto Martinez has all season to limit the stay, holding weekly posts that lead you to Championship. Much has to change its dynamics, especially on defense. The West Ham is a team for well below their means, subject to a tug of war but will not finish booting, each time with less margin. It seems that the signing signings Demba Ba, O'Neil, Bridge, in addition to good performance Piquionne, Mark Noble and Scott Parker serve as an impetus to the permanence . Perhaps those who have fewer options to stay are the Wolves, bottom side for many days, they can only imagine the stay if the above was sung at the end of the year. Jarvis, O'Hara, Doyle or Milijas are our hope.

decrease Bet: 18 º Wigan, WBA 19 th, 20 th Wolves.

Sofia Vergara for Bally Total Fitness in 1998

You know how sometimes a celebrity becomes really popular and all of the sudden all sorts of embarrassing clips from commercials or movies they’ve done start surfacing and we all have a good laugh about it? Yeah, this isn’t that at all.
Sofia Vergara is more popular than ever these days thanks to her role on the ABC comedy Modern Family, but in 1998, she was still mostly just known as a model. So it’s not at all surprising that she’d agree to do a Bally Total Fitness commercial. She’s certainly got the, um, “fitness” for the job, that’s for sure. But unlike so many celebs before her, this acting gig from days gone by is no reason for embarrassment. In fact, it’s about the sexiest damn thing we’ve seen this week. And, hello, five dollar signup fee? What a bargain!

R's fail to leave Preston in Deep-er trouble.

On this cold Saturday the Rangers' faithful took to the road as our table toppers travelled to bottom of the table Preston. Could the R's take the opportunity to potentially extend their lead at the top of the table as the chasing pack play each other, or will the fixture prove to be a banana skin, much like Nottingham Forest found on Wednesday night against Scunthorpe.

Jenson was in charge of the driving today as Lofty and PK arrived at Hillman HQ at 10 before meeting me, Sam and Luke at the second meeting point at 10.30 and heading to Deepdale.
We first hit traffic as we entered Birmingham on the M42 and took a quick pit stop just before the M6 Toll and got in supplies ready for another dash up the M6. In the services we bumped into many a Crawley, Brighton and Man United fan. PK managed to catch a few words with a Crawley fan as he was asked who we were playing and just as you thought the conversation was going to end PK uttered words that you just wouldn't ask, "who are you playing today?" PK replied, its only the most talked about FA Cup tie and PK forgot about it! Its fair to say that he has not lived it down all day, poor git!
We carried on up the M6 and we were held up in sheer weight of traffic due to the 9000 Crawley fans driving up from West Sussex and the other 40,000 Man United fans travelling up from Surrey, I have come to the conclusion that Man United should have bid for the Olympic Stadium so that they are closer to their fan base!
Having battled through and arriving at Preston at 2.15, we made our way into the stadium to grab a pie(or two in my case) and have a quick chat before making our way up to our seats. Lorna made her arrival as we were having our chat on the concourse with Michael and Debbie.
We were in a cautious mood and know that this could be a very dangerous fixture and had to be professional in order to pick up three points today.

Two changes were made from Sunday's game against Forest, one of which was forced. Tommy Smith missed out with his hamstring injury and Rob Hulse dropped to the bench. Their replacements were Ishmael Miller and Heidar Helguson.



The opening ten minutes were pretty even with Rangers' struggling to get a hold of the game but it wasn't long before they slowly asserted themselves on the game with Faurlin in particular pulling the strings and being as influencial as possible from his holding midfield role.
Taarabt tested Turner in the Preston goal with a few efforts, the best one being a free kick that was tipped wide for a corner.
Rangers' were so in control and at one point they knocked together around 40 passes with Preston unable to get hold of the ball.
Myself, Lofty and PK were saying that what we needed to do was stay patient and we would get the breakthrough, two minutes later that breakthrough came.
Derry passed to Miller and the big striker ran to the left edge of the penalty area and drilled a ball across the six yard box and there was Helguson to grab a goal on his return to the first team after recovering from injury.
Rangers' could have been two up minutes later. Taarabt danced down the left and played in Miller behind the Preston defence and he played the ball across the box once more and this time Helguson was unable to get a touch and the ball was cleared from danger.

At half time Lofty and PK made their way downstairs for refreshments and a crafty fag as the rest of us stayed in our seats. Sam and Lorna were dancing away to something, it definitely wasn't the band that played at half time, the music was bad enough to make your ears bleed! I was being entertained over bbm as Jess was informing me of how well our accumulators were getting on as we were on course to win in four seperate accys, as you can imagine the excitement really got my blood pumping.



The second half got underway and Rangers' continued to look in control as Taarabt tested Turner once more.
Ishmael Miller was then replaced by Petter Vaagen Moen.
When Miller left the field it looked as if we lost our balance in attack and this allowed Preston the chance to retain more possesion in defensive areas.
We all knew that we could not remain confident with a one goal lead and needed to push for it so we could not give Preston a chance of rallying back, unfortunately that didn't not happen and Preston started to grow in confidence and put us under pressure. Instead of trying to stifle Preston we stood of them and let them play and give them the hope they needed in search for an equaliser and sure enough the leveller came.
Barton's ball was well controlled by Nicholson before he then proceeded to lob Paddy Kenny in what was a very well taken goal. Game on!
Preston took good heart from the goal and went close to taking the lead a minute later when Ellington fizzed one just over from 25yards out.
We were looking nervy in defence but positive in attack as Adel Taarabt done his best to try and win the game for Rangers' and went close on a few occasions and also had a few shots blocked. In some instances we were screaming for him to pass to people in space but you could see that all he wanted to do was ensure we didn't drop two points against the leagues bottom club.
Taarabt and Rangers' were twarted in their efforts as the game ended 1-1.



In summary, having dominated the first half and looking so comfortable it is extremely disappointing to only come away with one point from the game, however Preston deserve a lot of credit for battling away and upsetting us in the second half and trying to win the game.
I feel that the absence of Smith was a blow for us today and when Miller was subbed we looked to lose a balance in the attacking third. As mentioned earlier, I feel Taarabt probably tried too hard to get a winner for us and we needed to be a bit more patient and knock the ball around on the floor more because that is where we are at our most comfortable. It seems like sometimes we hit the panic button and tend to go long too early when we need to just build up and break teams down with patience and we will benefit more from it as we have the players to do this.
It was good to see Buzsaky back in action again at the end of the game and he will have a big part to play in the final 14 games of the season.
Lastly I'd like to mention Rob Hulse. Hulse has come under scrutiny from Rangers' fans as of late and is being made a bit of a scapegoat when things aren't going well. If people looked at his work rate rather than the amount of goals we are scoring you will see how much of a good player Hulse is and now he is pretty much match fit we will now hopefully see him flourish, he needs our support and once he gets back on the scoresheet we will see him come good for us. Keep the faith in Mr Hulse.

Finally we go onto our Man of the Match. Matt Connolly and Kaspers Gorkss looked very nervous in defence after Mr Warnock's critisism on the defence last Sunday and didn't do too much to help their cause today. Adel Taarabt wanted to be a winner today but unfortunately for him he had to settle for a point like the rest of us. Despite his attitude we will once again award our Man of the Match to a person really showing his class and pulling the strings from the holding midfield, that man is Alejandro Faurlin.

Our journey home had a determined Jenson wanting to get us home extra fast so we could enjoy our evenings. We ticked off the results of todays prediction competition, which had a record pot on offer of £30 to the winner. Going into the final division we had myself, Lofty and Sam all tied at the top with PK just one point behind. The final scores read that Lofty and PK were tied at the top on 21 with the Man United remaining and with them both predicting a convincing United win we had to go to the tie break game, Montrose vs Berwick Rangers(the big game of the day!) Lofty predicted a 1-1 scoreline as PK went for a 2-1 home victory. The final score was 1-1 as Lofty won, or so it seemed, in a late twist we noticed that Luke could tie level if the final score of the United game was 2-0 as he had his banker placed on this game. As it was the game finished 1-0 and Lofty claimed the money(when it all get paid to him).
Finally I'd just like to mention the fantastic driving of Jenson tonight. We left Preston at 5.30 and we were stuck in traffic until we hit the motorway at 6 and then flew home. Usually I write and publish the report in the car but because I started the report slightly later than usual and Jenson's fast driving I am finishing this off at home(at 8.25), he managed to get us from Preston to our meeting point in Marlow in two and a half hours, quite incredible driving! Its safe to say that his spot as the driver for Middlesbrough is safe ;)

Lofty will return for the Ipswich match report on Tuesday night and I will be publishing the R's on the Road to Middlesbrough at some point(either Monday, Weds or Thurs).
