Nick - mentioned going to the football section and putting an advert up for it, bring some new blood into the gaming leagues.
What do you think?

by FIFA Diva Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:37 am

I'm just kidding Nick, I will join and so will Afro, give Smarts a few weeks and he'll give in.

Them two really urine me off, they've done it before when we used to be on 606, plus they live in a diffrent country 5 hour time difference I wanna punch them. Afro with your imposing frame and experience in Karata (Pink belt) would you help me beat them up.

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:38 am

Shame if you left Spurs mate. As you know reliable managers are hard to come by and I'd be loathed to lose you.

How about you swap teams with someone instead? Give yourself and new challenge?

by Trebs Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:41 am

What if we just end this league at the end of the current season?

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:45 am

No chance I want to end this league.

This is league is still going strong with a good core of managers, plenty of transfers still happening.

by nick_fury Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:45 am

I remember captainunited doing it on 606 think twice.

Its not that Afro, I love my Spurs team, I want to make them into the Man United of this league. But no one seems top be having a laugh like we used to. The other day with PineApple was the funniest day on here for ages.
Im staying for the time being, not going to give up on what I know has can can be a great thing. Just wanted you to know im not the happiest with the league right now

by Trebs Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:46 am

Afro, I mean if this other league kicks off, then we could end this league?

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:49 am

Not for me.

I won't be leaving this well established league with reliable managers for a league that will have the same reliable managers, but almost the same number of other managers. Nick will put the effort in and give it his best shot, but ultimately it will come down to the managers whether it lasts or not.

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:49 am

Hey guys. Next week TP's will only be open on Monday as I'm on leave after Wednesday and need a chance to do my tactics as well.

That being said I will open TP's today. So today and Monday to help make up for it...

by nick_fury Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:52 am

Actually you know what, I think id like to quit. Just been reading bits here n there from last few days and I cant be bothered with the cowpat.

Ahhh, im in two minds

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:55 am

If you really feel that way with the league then just quit. It's no point to you or us if you stick around and your hearts not in it.

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:55 am

Nick,
Your an emotional guy who likes to feel needed. You want us to beg you to stay. But you know me I'm a stubborn guy who would never do that, but I'm pretty sure Afro and Viva will so by the end of the day you will decide your staying Smile

by nick_fury Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:56 am

Smarts, im staying for sure.

What the Flip is this cowpat !!

Borussia are happy to negotiate a deal but this will incur additional fees.

Firstly the fee will now rise by £2M to £11M as you could not pay on time. This fee is payable as soon as possible.

For every fortnight the fee has not been paid it will increase by £2M (The first £2M increase will be on the 24th August).

Reus will stay at Borussia until the £11M sum has been paid off by atleast 50% (i.e. £5.5M).

As soon as Tottenham generate any income this income goes direct to Borussia Dortmund until the fee is paid off in full.

These terms are non negotiable.

Flip that Poopie !!! I aint paying Poopie how about that one, Flip the player I aint signing him. Fine me, Auction a player do what the Flip you want as if you want to come up with cowpat like that I will cause cowpat

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:57 am

Nick,
You define Cowpat lol
Thats done and dusted, get a grip and move on :-P

by nick_fury Fri 12 Aug 2011, 10:59 am

Oh and rant over, I have nothing further than the above to say on the matter.

Everyone finished their fantasy teams?? Im just tweeking mine as I have a few injuries already. Smarts, is Van Porcelain fit??

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:00 am

I can't believe you let something on a game on an internet forum bring you down so much.

Smarts is right, get a grip. I ain't going to beg you to stay because I want managers who are totally committed.

You are a top bloke and a great pretend manager, but you aren't irreplacable.

Pull yourself together man and stop being such a girl.

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:02 am

I do think you need a new challenge though.

I was the same with Liverpool and got very bored with them in the end. The switch to Sunderland has worked wanders. Much more entertaining.

by nick_fury Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:04 am

Hell No. Im getting screwed here and Im not letting it happen, game or no game.

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:07 am

Flippin heck.

You have more mood swings than my missus.

by nick_fury Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:11 am

Im not in a mood, im just just using expressive language.
I will not put up will cowpat. An agreement was in place with yourself so I dont see where this Poopie has come from. Either way it will now not be paid

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:15 am

I think this is going to be Andersons real breakthrough season in Utds midfield.

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:15 am

Tough game for Arsenal at Newcastle tomorrow.

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:16 am

Is Wiltshire fit for the game tomorrow?

by nick_fury Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:16 am

I hope your right Smarts. I remember when he took Cesc out the game in his first season. Since then he just hasnt preformed, few injuries didnt help but still. With Scholes gone that CM role is his for the taking.

Ive heard Wiltshire isnt

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:18 am

There seems to be a few Arsenal players out, Wilshire, Verm, Diaby and ? Marks over RVP, Koscielny.

That leaves us short in defence and definately midfield as Nasri and Cesc not named in the squad. Newcastle have a lot of new faces though so I hope they have not gelled properly yet. Cabaye is a top signing for them and Demba Ba can score goals but I hope thats after tomorrow.

by nick_fury Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:20 am

RVP out or not?? Hes in my fantasy team so if he is im taking him out

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:20 am

Just seen on the BBC.

Walcott is injured too

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:21 am

It seems he will play, not sure how fit he is as he had a knock in the week.

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:21 am

BBC Gossip says that Jadson is one possible replacement for Cesc

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:23 am

I have my heart set on Raul Meireles.
If we can bring in Meireles, and 2 of Dann, Jagielka, Samba I think we will be solid this season.

by nick_fury Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:26 am

Jadson cant get a work permit. He hasnt played enough international matches

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:27 am

Good, I wouldn't want Jadson

by nick_fury Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:30 am

Meireles, and 2 of Dann, Jagielka, Samba I think we will be solid this season. - Sorry but I dont. With the looming losses of Cesc and Samir do you not think your midfield is short?

Jadson is a good player. But he is over Wenger usual age policy so I doubt he will pay the money if he can get a work permit. Never know

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:30 am

How about Rodwell for £20m. We could do with the money.

by nick_fury Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:31 am

Wenger spend £20m on one player? come on. Whats the most hes spent on one buy? Is it Arshivan at £17m ??

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:34 am

Crikey, even Everton have spent that much (nearly) on one player

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:36 am

Arshavin was about £12M I think Nick.
Gervinho is the transfer record I think.

If we brought in Meireles I dont think our midfield is short Nick. Ramsey will be like a new signing, while you forget Fabregas had his most ineffective season to date with us last year. Nasri was great for half the season but he was playing further forward in the 4-3-3 he was in the top 3. Gervinho will be replacing him. I'm more concerned with the defence, don't think the problem will be scoring goals.

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:37 am

Afro have you got Andys tactics? Going to post mine up in a bit.

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:45 am

I have Andy's tactics Smarts

by FIFA Diva Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:49 am

Watch how Wenger will cry during Christmas saying injuries have cost his team but he won't buy anyone.

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:51 am

Tactics posted. I don't think that will be the case Viva.

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:51 am

Nobody taking advantage of Transfer Pendings being open?
They will only be open today and Monday...

by FIFA Diva Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:52 am

It will like the last few years, Wenger blamed injuries on his teams season even though Man Utd had injuries probably worse but the thing was Ferguson knew how to deal with it Wenger does not.

Or will this season be diffrent? How long have you been saying that for? The new Liverpools.

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:53 am

No cash.

I may do if Viva opens Lawyers early too!!!

Wenger Cry

by FIFA Diva Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:53 am

You guys want lawyers today?

by nick_fury Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:58 am

If we brought in Meireles, Ramsey. - I still thingk you will be. You really need some experience in there.
Looks like RVP will be captain. Another great captain choice by Wenger, "errrr you will be injured half season, I pick you Bobin"

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 11:59 am

I have been hearing from you guys for years we will drop out of the top 4 but we have not lol.
That season we had much worse injuries than you Viva. But still you need to adapt the squad and get a bit of luck to.
I still think Arsenal will be competitive at the top this season, but I also realise we need 2 new signings before the season starts.

by **Afro** Fri 12 Aug 2011, 12:03 pm

If you are going to be realistic title contenders, I think you need 4/5 signings Smarts.

2 x CB, a DM, an AM and a striker. Once injuries hit any of those positions, your replacements just aren't good enough. United, Chelsea and City have much deeper squads.

by smartestgooner Fri 12 Aug 2011, 12:06 pm

http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2011/08/12/2616008/simon-vukcevic-set-to-leave-sporting-lisbon-with-the-english

^^^ Could be a decent signing for somebody?

You need that squad to compete in all competitions, we have to overcome Udinsese without Nasri and Fabregas first lol

by FIFA Diva Fri 12 Aug 2011, 12:07 pm

No you haven't been hearing it from me, I still think if you don't replace Nasri or Fabregas you will finish 4th, still better then Liverpool and Spurs. But does that show the ambition of the team, once winning the title was the objective, then competing and now finishing in the top 4. It depends what you mean by competetitve, if you mean that Arsenal will be fighting for the title and other competitions come March/April I don't think you will.

At the moment I can see you fighting for the title, fading early and then fighting for 4th and maybe get to a semi final in one of the domestic cup competitions and get knocked out.

You are too biased about your club and are blinded by your love, you can't see the fact you are not the same team from the 03/04. What season are you on about where you had more injuries? An it's not about the amount it's how you can deal with them, Fletcher playing RB.
