I think this will continue to be a problem, as Valkeakoski is becoming more and more of a suburb of Tampere. 4,000 members sounds extraordinarily high, but I suppose if you include all the junior players in valkeakoski, and their families, you might edge towards that figure.

TPS have been crappy, but they got the equalizer at TamU and came back to win Honka last night, both occasions being something that wouldn't have taken place last year. On the other hand TamU are losing or drawing games they should win and have yet to record a three-pointer. It looks damn interesting now, with the top title candidates TPS and HJK having only one point separating them. (Interestingly, HJK have only conceded once while TPS has both and conceded six goals). I thought Jaro could be up for surprises, but it seems their work has been cut out for now. I'd love to see them go up in the table though. However, I hope Sunday is not gonna be the day they do that... Things have changed since last season.

That result came out of nowhere, and it does piss on HJK's chips a bit as their next game is away at 100% Inter, which will be tough for them. Haka and TamU were both pretty poor. TamU's system was a bit more solid as Saarinen played well in his midfield holding role, but he's not as fit as he used to be. Pohja was everywhere, Niemi was decent, Rafinha was stupidly fast and skillful, but they're still not quite a 'team'. Mikko Manninen was excellent, and for the goal showed the problems TamU's midfield has, as he was left to pick his pass with ease, only 30-40 yards from goal. TamU were lucky to get a point.

I have no idea there, to be honest - it will be a good indicator as to the kind of season both sides can expect.

IFK strong performance in 2st half and they deserve to win at awful defensive KTP, i think that today we will see plenty of goals and i will support Jaro, what are u think about that game? hey
