I do it. Fabio Capello does it and Sir Alex Ferguson swears by it. José Mourinho hates it, Wenger would prefer to avoid it and Rafa Benitez sticks his fingers in his ears at the thought of it. Of course I’m not describing our mutual love or detest of dolphin based pornography, which coincidentally is true, but this is actually a list of people who love or hate the 4-4-2. I will be looking at the current standing of the most tried and tested formation in the world and how it stands against the new school of thought, the 4-5-1 and the way the pedestal it has been placed on has completely altered the characteristics a manager wants in players they coach.
April Fools!

Today is a sad day in the history of Throw-In.
In recent times, we've been feeling under ever more pressure to live up to the heavy expectations on our shoulders and are no longer getting any sort of pleasure from the site. We've also watched forum visitors and post numbers dwindle to almost non-existant levels.
It was becoming a truly mammoth task to motivate our staff and as such, we have come to the conclusion that it would be best for all parties if we were to shut our doors.
