You guys don't care if I join the fantasy league do you?

Please do. And do so before this weekend, as that's when the season kicks off, and if you miss it, you'll miss the first round of points and be at a serious disadvantage.

Having said that, I like the look of Darren Bent at the moment. Good price in the FPL too.


Yeah, I've been looking at Bent as an option as well. (No need to keep it a secret really) He was the only thing that kept Charlton afloat there for a while, but last season he didn't seem to settle in (hard to do so when you're competing with Berbatov, Keane, and Defoe. But Ramos appears to have taken care of that "problem".)

Cool, thanks.

Let me know which team you are. So I can ban you for a clear violation of league etiquette.








this is, of course, a joke.

The League so far is:

Lochgilphead Untied Craig Sueñoniño Campbellio
Wharfedale Generals Daniel Chapman
Dykstra Academicals Nicolas Adie
Los Alpacas Tommy Dski *
Don Gon Achletic Piut Phhst
Trumpton Celtic Gerry Hastings
Red Star Portmeirion Patrick McGoohan
Hip Priests John Hirst
Twyford Element Spyros the Cutter
Clumsy Field Goats Doug Beridon
Pauli Hamburgers Aldofarian will spill again
Lithgow Shamrocks Tim Wright
Cee Bee FC Cathal Brennan
Faceless Mediocrity Nick Dudley
Chairmanese FC Ben Hall
n.n.y. seth bennett
Elsdon United Jon Goodwin
Ladies in Red Shaun Westphal

* denotes defending champion

18 teams. We just need two more, and I think we've already got a few more lined up. As long as they get in before the deadline, we should have a fairly competitive league again this season.

That's me.

Rysie got me in a league last year. I called my team that because he's such a massive Chris DeBurgh fan.

"Dos beers, por favor, Pedro, please thankyou yes."

Just when you thought Steve McClaren couldn't get any more embarrassing - this is cringe after cringe after cringe.

I can't take all the credit - it's begun doing the forum rounds. One forum is taking particular delight in the way McClaren keeps saying "ah, how you say..." even though he's talking his own freaking language.
