It's been a manic day so far. First I wrote a fantastic piece on Jermaine Jenas, then West Ham won the preferred bidder status for the Olympic Stadium (or did we lose it?) and now Harry Redknapp's appeal against tax evasion charges has been turned down and he'll face trial later this year.

New season. New faces. New roles. New tactics. As we move ever loser to the start of the 2011 season, the PSP takes a look possible tactical formations the Union might employ. Today, Adam argues that last season's 4-2-2-2 ought to become a 4-1-3-2 formation to take advantage of the team's wealth of defensive minded midfielders.
