Okay…you might have noticed – things have changed around here.

After months and months of time, money, sweat and tears – we thought we’d roll out the new layout just to see if things held together. It’s a gamble – it may disappear before your very eyes and revert back to the old Scout. Then again, it might be here to stay.

We hope that all goes smoothly – the that the new layout settles on our servers and will provide the basis for a new era for the site. Let’s see how we go.

There is more to do (we know the Watchlist is incomplete and the poll is old). More features to roll out – particularly within the comments code. For now, we’re taking baby steps – although this is a pretty big first stride.

So then, if you stayed with us long enough to reach this ungodly hour, you get to the see the new look on the live servers – a proper first.

We hope you like.

Ps: apologies for any lost comments from the last couple of hours – needs must I’m afraid.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

              unsure tbh, part of me wants someone proven like dave jones, then im quite tempted with them taking a gamble on someone like tisdale from exeter or mcinnes from st johnstone (hes odds on at the moment)

                Yeah I seen McInnes was touted up here for the position, he's a decent manager has done well at St Johnstone, but it would be a big step up and I don't know if he's ready for it.

              I must've done more than that in 3 and a bit years. I'm sure on the beta test it only showed comments since October last year, so I'd guess it's that many since then. May be compltely wrong though.

      He seems to deliver consistently over the first 7 games. Anyway, I'm doubt if -4pt hits will be worth for this week. A match with Wigan seems to be low-scoring game as well as games with SUN, saw, STO which are tight at defense..

      Bolton will have Klasnic back. It might be a good factor though.

          He is in great form, but i think when Torres comes back Sturrisdge will be use primarily for the CL. I could be wrong I just cant see him holding his place in the Chelsea team.

              I'd agree with TC on this one. Sturridge up top flanking Torres (Mata on other flank) for PL games...

                Don't think I phrased that particularly well. Should have said: Sturridge (and Mata) will be flanking Torres, who will be up front. But those three will play 'up top' as a front three...

              With the way AVB recently managed his line-up, Sturridge won't be employed in central role, so there should be just Anelka to rotate with him. I quite agree with TIMMY CAHILL RULES that Sturridge should have good chance to get regular start in PL. . 🙂

        Zlatan is my current favourite active player because he's hilarious and probably the best Swedish footballer ever.

    First of all, the new site looks decent but it'll take some getting used too. Now i need some help with my team, 80 points behind the 3 leaders of my mini-league who are the most casual football followers you'd be likely to meet. They've all captained Rooney all the way through and had defenders that without hindsight, really should've been sat on the bench but catch them scoring. Anyway, sorry to sound bitter... i know it's a marathon and not a sprint.

    Here's my team

    Given, Ruddy
    Kompany, Bosingwa, Brown, Simpson, Wilkinson
    Mata, Silva, Arteta, Moses, Dyer
    Adebayor, Rooney, Dzeko

    0.9 in the bank, 2 free transfers.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

        Hmm. Not considered RvP up until now, with their form i was just thinking a Arteta > Ramsey downgrade. I suppose with a bit of saved money i can straight swap him to Aguero when Arsenals fixtures get more difficult. M Petrov a better prospect than Walters and Murphy at the moment then?

    Morning Guys, now i've had a little play around on the site. I thought i'd set you a little RMT

    Currently

    Vorm Given

    Kompany Boswinga Simpson Gabidon Brown

    Silva Mata Brunt Moses N.Dyer

    Rooney Suarez Adebayor

    thinking of wildcarding as I pretty much always planned on using it during the international break, but I don't think my current team is too bad and I'd quite like to keep the wildcard a bit longer. However just had a play around and got the team below.

    Vorm Ruddy

    Kompany Boswinga Simpson Gabidon Enrique

    Silva VDV Nani Moses N.Dyer

    Suarez Sturridge Rooney

    Main reason i like the new team is 1)Stronger midfield 2)More Man U coverage 3) Stronger defence. But the keeper situation is week and i'm not sure about Sturridge getting enough mins. Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers

      Team looks pretty good, I know Brown rotates well with Simpson but Sunderland look crap this year. Maybe Brown > Walker/BAE? Spurs look improved defensively and both get forward well.
      Midfield is fine, Brunt is fine imo, Cabaye i'm not convinced however. Forwards are great.

      I'd probably sell Brunt for Ramsey in your position (well, I was in a similar position and thats what I have done this week). I know Brunt is home to Wolves next, but Ramsey will rise in price and Brunt fall, and Ramsey has as good a chance of doing something at home to Sunderland as Brunt @ home to wolves. And thereafter Ramsey's fixtures are great and Brunt's are a bit crap

    Krul, Vorm
    Kompany, Enrique, S Taylor, Warnock/Hutton, Woodgate
    Silva, Mata, VDV, Nani, Dyer
    Suarez, Adebayor, Sturridge

    Current team has RVP instead of Sturridge, 2 6-6.5 mids instead of 2 big hitters and Bosingwa and Ward instead of Villa/Stoke defenders.

    Thoughts on whether this is a good idea? Basically I want to know if having an extra 2 big hitters in midfield instead of 6-6.5 options is worth sacrificing a £12m striker for, bearing in mind the 3 I propose having are all at top clubs.
