Loan News
I make a bid to loan Manchester United's striker, Giuseppe Rossi. The loan would be for 3 months.

Contract News
Lee Morris agrees to our terms and signs a contract with Luton. The good thing is that since he's played in a bunch of friendlies during his trial, he's already match fit and ready to step in...

Transfer News
The latest Sarr bid is rejected, I let it go, for now...

August 19, 2006
Match #5: home vs Burnley (currently 18th, but tied on points with us, with 4)
odds: Luton 13-8, Burnley 6-4 (fav)
S: Morris/Pinnock/Tarachulski
AMC: Bridge-Wilkinson
DMC: Keane/Evans (with up arrows)
D: Davis/James/Coyne/Foley (full backs with up arrows)
GK: Murphy
As we get to the game, they show a 4-4-2 formation with moderate push from the wingers.

34th minute: We're giving them a pretty good run for their money, 6 shots to one for us. That is until they center a lucky ball and convert it. We go down 0-1.

44th minute: Oh crap! Paul Evans gets his second yellow, both within the last 5 minutes and he's sent off. Trying to come from behind with only 10 mean is never easy.

52nd minute: They pump a long ball to a man that makes himself free in the 6 yard box. He's got an easy finish. We're down 0-2. This will be the final score.

For once, we dominate in shots, but can't convert. We can't let that happen too often this season. Wins will be tough enough to achieve, we can't drop them like that...

Final Score: Luton 0, Burnley 2
Shots (on target): Luton 12 (4), Burnley 9 (4)
MoM: Burnley's keeper Danny Coyne with a rating of 8. They also had a total of 7 of the starters that had 8's...
HoM: Keeper Joe Murphy with an 8. However, he was the only one with a rating of 6 at some point into the second half, until he made a couple of big saves.

Possession: (us/them)
our zone: 16/14
middle: 21/22
their zone: 12/15
Overall: 49/51

We drop to 19th. Relegation zone starts at position 22, with only three teams of the 24 that relegates.

Paul Evans is banned for one match for being sent off on 2 yellows. Another bad news is an injury to Kevin Foley. He twisted his knee in the game and will miss 2 weeks.

Loan News
Manchester United accpets our loan bid for Giuseppe Rossi. Now we'll see if he accepts to come on loan with us.
