Media Questions Week 1

1. What are your thoughts over the game just gone? Expect that result?
2. Apart from that game what other games surprised you?
3. Bull this week sold Schweingsteiger, was it the right move?
4. Who's your tip for the Euros?

Questions of the week!


What are your thoughts on your last match?
Tactically I was wrong I have to improve.

How do you see the league shaping up, and who are the frontrunners?
There are obvious front runners, our focus is to be apart of that

Are you looking forward to the cup, and how seriously are you taking it?
Our supports would love to see a win so that's what well strive for

Who will score more at the Euros; Van Persie or Huntelaar?
neither Torres will ours score them both. Though a bit of arrogance from Spain yesterday starting with no natural striker..

1. What are your thoughts on your last match?
To be honest I was a little annoyed at the way the result was revealed, but it has opened my eyes. Expect a different approach from me in the future!

2. How do you see the league shaping up, and who are the frontrunners?
Well Marky is in the lead at the moment and he is hard to beat. For me, it is all about survival. My next two games are against Nando and Cherries. These are the games that will shape my season.

3. Are you looking forward to the cup, and how seriously are you taking it?
No I am not looking forward to it, and because of my injuries I will be putting out a reserve team. Don't expect any first team players to start.

4. Who will score more at the Euros; Van Persie or Huntelaar?
RVP because I really need to win that bet!

What are your thoughts on your last match? - poope

How do you see the league shaping up, and who are the frontrunners? - no one cares it's more fun in midfield

Are you looking forward to the cup, and how seriously are you taking it? - not very it's a pisspot trophy

Who will score more at the Euros; Van Persie or Huntelaar? RVP since KJH is stuck on the bench

The Cherry Cup makes the now defunct Setanta Shield look like the FA Cup. It sucks ass. But Cherries can't DQ me because he isn't a runner. He's a glorified vote collector.

i try my best to run this thing but if it isnt good enoigh for you just live with it

1. Some big results in the Cherry Cup last week, was the result you got one you expected?

Yes I was very much expecting the loss, due to the fact I had made 11 changes and it worked as I have a full first team squad available to me this week!

2. Viva lost his bet with Olly and Hamsik then promptly was sold to Fernando for £35m, who should he buy with the cash?

I'm looking for a striker.

3. Twist has once again strengthened his midfield and now has Vidal, Marchisio, M’Vila and Strootman at his disposal in the centre of the pitch, are they the team to beat?

Them and AC ALSOAM are the ones to beat I think, Silly Nannies are dark horses IMO.

4. Which footballer at the Euros has been the surprise package for you?

This Pilar fella Bull signed is actually a very good player. Really impressed me for the Czechs so far, and Bull has actually got a good player there

1. Some big results in the Cherry Cup last week, was the result you got one you expected?

Not really. I can accept the loss, but by a margin of two goals was a bit hard to take.

2. Viva lost his bet with Olly and Hamsik then promptly was sold to Fernando for £35m, who should he buy with the cash?

A top quality striker. I really think Olly's team is that one player short of being true contenders for the title. He has a quality squad.

3. Twist has once again strengthened his midfield and now has Vidal, Marchisio, M’Vila and Strootman at his disposal in the centre of the pitch, are they the team to beat?

Hopefully..........

4. Which footballer at the Euros has been the surprise package for you?

RVP, for the wrong reasons. I really thought he would have a good Euros and start a bidding war for next season. Clubs would still want him, but maybe not now for as much as they were willing to pay.

1. Some big results in the Cherry Cup last week, was the result you got one you expected?
Yes I always expect a win but I wouldn't be shocked if Marky got the win it was a close game.

2. Viva lost his bet with Olly and Hamsik then promptly was sold to Fernando for £35m, who should he buy with the cash?
A personality

3. Twist has once again strengthened his midfield and now has Vidal, Marchisio, M’Vila and Strootman at his disposal in the centre of the pitch, are they the team to beat?
Yes they should walk the league this season.

4. Which footballer at the Euros has been the surprise package for you?
Van Persie.

1. Some big results in the Cherry Cup last week, was the result you got one you expected?

No, I really thought it'd have been a lot closer and I could have easily have seen a loss to Twist, my boys did me proud out there to put four past such a strong team.

2. Viva lost his bet with Olly and Hamsik then promptly was sold to Fernando for £35m, who should he buy with the cash?

I think he should lose the Premier League fixation and look further afield.

3. Twist has once again strengthened his midfield and now has Vidal, Marchisio, M’Vila and Strootman at his disposal in the centre of the pitch, are they the team to beat?

Well they're the team I did just beat , but yes they certainly look the cream of the Premier League.

4. Which footballer at the Euros has been the surprise package for you?

Going to actually say Modric, I knew he was good but in every game for Croatia he was fantastic, he outplayed the likes of Xavi and Iniesta last night wish says a lot.

1. Some big results in the Cherry Cup last week, was the result you got one you expected?
Rested a couple of players, could have gone either way if I'm honest, maybe I should have went for Marchisio and Vidal.

2. Viva lost his bet with Olly and Hamsik then promptly was sold to Fernando for £35m, who should he buy with the cash?
Megan Fox

3. Twist has once again strengthened his midfield and now has Vidal, Marchisio, M’Vila and Strootman at his disposal in the centre of the pitch, are they the team to beat?
Marchisio and Vidal are over-rated anyway

4. Which footballer at the Euros has been the surprise package for you?
Alou Diarra and Cabaye have played very well together for France, Danny Welbeck scored a quality goal, Arbeloa's been good for Spain, one of those I think.

1. Some big results in the Cherry Cup last week, was the result you got one you expected?
yesi was happy with the result in that game.

2. Viva lost his bet with Olly and Hamsik then promptly was sold to Fernando for £35m, who should he buy with the cash?
Lampard for 30m its a bargin

3. Twist has once again strengthened his midfield and now has Vidal, Marchisio, M’Vila and Strootman at his disposal in the centre of the pitch, are they the team to beat?
one of the teams to beat yes

4. Which footballer at the Euros has been the surprise package for you?
Pilar and Jicek have played fantastically well and i am happy to have gambled on Pilar.

1. Some big results in the Cherry Cup last week, was the result you got one you expected?

I was confident of the win, but I did not expect the margin we won by

2. Viva lost his bet with Olly and Hamsik then promptly was sold to Fernando for £35m, who should he buy with the cash?

Some integrity. And with the change, a striker.

3. Twist has once again strengthened his midfield and now has Vidal, Marchisio, M’Vila and Strootman at his disposal in the centre of the pitch, are they the team to beat?

I think they really lack a playmaker amongst that group. They will be solid, but you wouldn't fear them doing something from nothing and that makes it easier to plan against. They will be up there, but I think they could struggle to break down any teams who are really well set-up.

4. Which footballer at the Euros has been the surprise package for you?

Not really a surprise package, but Modric has been excellent and proved last night that he wouldn't be out of place at a massive club. Pirlo has also been brilliant to watch, a magician.

1. Some big results in the Cherry Cup last week, was the result you got one you expected?
It was a little bit of a shock in all honesty. I didn't think we'd edge out cherries full strength side but we stuck to our game plan and it paid off.

2. Viva lost his bet with Olly and Hamsik then promptly was sold to Fernando for £35m, who should he buy with the cash?
It's hard to say. I think olly needs to drop the premiership players only rule.

3. Twist has once again strengthened his midfield and now has Vidal, Marchisio, M’Vila and Strootman at his disposal in the centre of the pitch, are they the team to beat?
There are plenty of good midfields in the PL. 2 out of the 4 are proven, the other two have lots of potential. But there's not point of having a well built house on a weak foundation. He needs to strengthen his defence.

4. Which footballer at the Euros has been the surprise package for you?
I liked the Russians. They were unlucky to go out Modric Pirlo have both showed their talent from the midfield. Manzukic has impressed me as well

1. Some big results in the Cherry Cup last week, was the result you got one you expected?

Yes. I would have put my house (I don't strictly own a house) on a 2-0 win. It was a hard fought game probably but we got the win and a couple of lesser lights got a game before the big boys come back and crush their dreams again.

2. Viva lost his bet with Olly and Hamsik then promptly was sold to Fernando for £35m, who should he buy with the cash?

Probably a striker but I'm sure he'll spend wisely on a player, and then release them later for a massive loss.

3. Twist has once again strengthened his midfield and now has Vidal, Marchisio, M’Vila and Strootman at his disposal in the centre of the pitch, are they the team to beat?

If they are I'm glad we've already played them. All teams are strong, top to bottom and in both divisions. It's getting harder and harder to keep pace.

4. Which footballer at the Euros has been the surprise package for you?

Mario Mandzukic, because I want a cheap plug.

1. Some big results in the Cherry Cup last week, was the result you got one you expected?
Yes I always expect a win

2. Viva lost his bet with Olly and Hamsik then promptly was sold to Fernando for £35m, who should he buy with the cash?
A Decent Creative Midfielder

3. Twist has once again strengthened his midfield and now has Vidal, Marchisio, M’Vila and Strootman at his disposal in the centre of the pitch, are they the team to beat?
Rather defensive but shall be interested to see how it works

4. Which footballer at the Euros has been the surprise package for you?
Nicklas Bendtner

1. Some big results in the Cherry Cup last week, was the result you got one you expected?
As interim manager of Munchingballsack I was very pleased with the perfomance from the lads last week. Afterall it was a trashing we gave the Canaries.

2. Viva lost his bet with Olly and Hamsik then promptly was sold to Fernando for £35m, who should he buy with the cash?
Someone who can control the match for him, he needs someone to be his Ramires or Yaya.

3.
Twist has once again strengthened his midfield and now has Vidal,
Marchisio, M’Vila and Strootman at his disposal in the centre of the
pitch, are they the team to beat?
As long as Twist doesn't want to go forward he'll be fine, now if he buys a great attacking midfielder so he can play the Spain way he'll be unstoppable.

4. Which footballer at the Euros has been the surprise package for you?
Bendtner, who knew he was any good?

For the ha ha's.

1. Some big results in the Cherry Cup last week, was the result you got one you expected?
Well, my interim manager has been excellent. Can't believe it was a 6-1 win. We've smashed our previous highest win which was the biggest win ever in the ED history. I hope Afro looks to beat this when he plays his arch nemesis this week.
2. Viva lost his bet with Olly and Hamsik then promptly was sold to Fernando for £35m, who should he buy with the cash?
I'd be lying if I said I cared.
3. Twist has once again strengthened his midfield and now has Vidal, Marchisio, M’Vila and Strootman at his disposal in the centre of the pitch, are they the team to beat?
I don't know. So much brawn in that midfield but not much brains. Reckon a team who sets themselves up to deal with them could win. Real Ale v the Silly Nannies will be a brilliant game.
4. Which footballer at the Euros has been the surprise package for you?
Pirlo. I knew he was good, but he's shown he can still perform on the international stage. First time I've seen him for Italy in years.

1. With three games gone, are you pleased with you position in the league, and does it change where you expect to be next year?

Of course, I'm top where I rightfully belong. Now to carry that on to next year and the Premier League where I will finally will challenge for the big one.

2. How did you view your last result?

Disappointed to be honest, the chance was finally there to banish the hoodoo that Afro has over me and I was a gnats whisker from victory.

3. The Euro's are drawing to a close - who are you backing in the last 4?

Germany, I backed them from the start.

4. Would you rather have one regular length arm, or two very short ones?

Two short ones and I could pretend to be a dinosaur.

1. With three games gone, are you pleased with you position in the league, and does it change where you expect to be next year?
Yes I am happy with my position so far in the league, no it's too early to say what my goals will be for next season.

2. How did you view your last result?
I got the win that was the most important thing and I was happy that we were able to hold the late pressure of Cherrys when they were looking to get a goal.

3. The Euro's are drawing to a close - who are you backing in the last 4?
Intially I went with France and Germany, France are out so I am backing the Germans now.

4. Would you rather have one regular length arm, or two very short ones?
The Tyrannosaurus was the king of the Jurassic era and only had two short arms so I'll go with that.

1. With three games gone, are you pleased with you position in the league, and does it change where you expect to be next year?

I came from behind last season, to clinch the title. So I am happy to be still in the hunt.

2. How did you view your last result?

Fair one.....it was a odds on draw.

3. The Euro's are drawing to a close - who are you backing in the last 4?

Germany....I could do with the money from a sweepstakes win

4. Would you rather have one regular length arm, or two very short ones?.

Erm.......chop one arm off halfway and I will tell you.

1. With three games gone, are you pleased with you position in the league, and does it change where you expect to be next year?

I am very pleased with 7 points from 9 and it keeps me above the relegation zone for now. I know it will be immensely difficult still but I hope to keep picking up points in the next few games.

2. How did you view your last result?

I was happy with a win from a game I knew would be close. To do it without Mesut, who definitely has a vendetta against him, was a boon too. He's back this week so you'd expect us to be stronger.

3. The Euros are drawing to a close - who are you backing in the last 4?

I've always liked Italy, and even though they knocked England out I hold no grudges. Aside from that, Portugal could win me even more money in the sweep.

4. Would you rather have one regular length arm, or two very short ones?

I'd have one regular length one, so I could reach high shelves and claim to be a war veteran.

1. With three games gone, are you pleased with you position in the league, and does it change where you expect to be next year?
I think third place is around the right place. Would be nice to get up to the premier league, that's this seasons target. I don't know yet what my target it for next season, evaluate this one first.


2. How did you view your last result?
I thought we played well. Elmo put in some good tactics and make could have got the draw but I think overall we needed the win to get our promotion campaign on the road.


3. The Euros are drawing to a close - who are you backing in the last 4?
Spain seem to be unfancied, which surprises me. I'm seeing a Germany-Spain final, who wins that is anyone's guess.


4. Would you rather have one regular length arm, or two very short ones?
One regular length arm.

1. With three games gone, are you pleased with you position in the league, and does it change where you expect to be next year?

I am far from pleased with my position in the league. It's all well and good having close games and being competitive, but we have no points to show for it. If we don't win this week, I see us struggling to stay up. Expect a revolution if we lose this week.

2. How did you view your last result?

I thought I was at least worth a draw to be honest. Pretty annoyed at the loss.

3. The Euros are drawing to a close - who are you backing in the last 4?

Italy. Purely cos they knocked England out.

4. Would you rather have one regular length arm, or two very short ones?

Two short ones

Week 4 questions
1. With three games gone, are you pleased with you position in the league, and does it change where you expect to be next year?
I'm very happy to be fighting for the title, but we aren't really looking to next year, focusing on this year.

2. How did you view your last result?
A fair draw between two very good sides.

3. The Euros are drawing to a close - who are you backing in the last 4?
Any one of Portugal, Spain, Italy and Germany.

4. Would you rather have one regular length arm, or two very short ones?
One regular length arm. It didn't harm the career of that one armed girl from CBeebies.

1.dunno not checked where we are as long as where not last im happy.
depends what happens next year as we are in talks with C.Ronaldo.

2. Very unfair result in my book

3. Portugal to be the underdogs and take it or Germany

4.two short ones.

1. With three games gone, are you pleased with you position in the league, and does it change where you expect to be next year?
Unbeaten in three games is good; no win in 3 is not. There is a lot of work to do as I see this team belonging in the top division, and the current league position is unacceptable.

2. How did you view your last result?
A good battling draw against a very strong team. If we hadn't drawn the first two games, then I would have been pleased with the draw, but we need to turn those draws into wins.

3. The Euros are drawing to a close - who are you backing in the last 4?
I initially said Germany and I still expect them to make the final. However, to win you are going to need to score goals, to score goals you need the ball, and noone is going to be able to get it off of Spain. As with the World Cup, this will be when they raise the bar and I see them winning now.

4. Would you rather have one regular length arm, or two very short ones?
Whilst badboys like Viva would struggle to reach the pockets on their jeans with two short arms, I can see the benefits of both. I'll go for two short arms so that I could pretend to be a penguin in exchange for alcohol at the local freak show.

Week 4 questions

1. With three games gone, are you pleased with you position in the league, and does it change where you expect to be next year?
still a lot of the season to go

2. How did you view your last result?
Let's not talk about that

3. The Euros are drawing to a close - who are you backing in the last 4?
Spain

4. Would you rather have one regular length arm, or two very short ones?
What sorta arm we talking about?

1. With three games gone, are you pleased with you position in the league, and does it change where you expect to be next year?

With the takeover complete we'll be looking to maintain our position and start to push on.

2. How did you view your last result?

I was shocked that we won post takeover with what was quite a week side. We're much stronger now and don't want to live off of past success.

3. The Euros are drawing to a close - who are you backing in the last 4?

Portugal - Germany final in my opinion. Germany to win it overall. As long as Spain don't as they bore me to tears.

4. Would you rather have one regular length arm, or two very short ones?

Two small ones like a T-Rex, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Sporting Sideburns confirm for the umpteenth time that Podolski is not for sale. Any further offers for him will be ignored without reply.

SEU say that rumours of Cristiano Ronaldo are true and are close to signing the player.

1. With three games gone, are you pleased with you position in the league, and does it change where you expect to be next year?

No and yes we're going down like a 50p hooker

2. How did you view your last result?

I was shocked that we won

3. The Euros are drawing to a close - who are you backing in the last 4?

Italy - Balotelli to score the winner

4. Would you rather have one regular length arm, or two very short ones?

Two small ones

1. Quarter Finals of the Cup this week, who do you expect to go on and win it?

Billbao Baggings to retain.

2. Some big moves have taken place over the last couple of weeks, who got the best buy?
Marky with getting Khedira and Schwein from his B team

3. Are Spain the greatest International side ever?
Not the best but one of them

4. What one rule change would you like to see happen for season 3?
there fine no need of change.

1. Quarter Finals of the Cup this week, who do you expect to go on and win it?
Viva City look strong, but you can't look past Bilbao Baggins as they appear to be an expert cup side.

2. Some big moves have taken place over the last couple of weeks, who got the best buy?
I feel us signing Gaitan and Tevez in recent weeks was masterful, they will really improve our side.

3. Are Spain the greatest International side ever?
I think they have a long way to go before they can be compared to the likes of 1970's Brazil, but the World Cup in 2014 will be the key to that tag being put on them.

4. What one rule change would you like to see happen for season 3?
Maybe the introduction of a transfer window, have it closed for a period to make people use their existing squads better.

We would like to clarify there is no link in place between ourselves and Go Ahead Eaaagles, although we may do so with any side in future. There's nothing in the rules about having links with another side in another league.

1. Quarter Finals of the Cup this week, who do you expect to go on and win it?

I expect Cherries team to win

2. Some big moves have taken place over the last couple of weeks, who got the best buy?

I think it all depends on how the signings work out in real life. Certainly having established PL players is the way to go now the Euros have finished.

3. Are Spain the greatest International side ever?

I still think Brazil 1970 team is the best.

4. What one rule change would you like to see happen for season 3?

A new cup competition and format.

1. Quarter Finals of the Cup this week, who do you expect to go on and win it?

Go-ahead Eaaaaaaaaagles!!! I joke, Bilbao Baggins are a strong squad. But we will try our best to progress with a few tactical surprises here and there!

2. Some big moves have taken place over the last couple of weeks, who got the best buy?

It's what is expected in football. I'm happy with all the dealings I've made so far!

3. Are Spain the greatest International side ever?

They're up there but Brazil in the 70's still get my vote.

4. What one rule change would you like to see happen for season 3?

I think the money received from winning games, getting tactics in on time etc. should be lowered to make it worth a bit more. Especially as bigger, more talented players will be available in season 3

1. Quarter Finals of the Cup this week, who do you expect to go on and win it?

Really couldn't care less about this competition.

2. Some big moves have taken place over the last couple of weeks, who got the best buy?

Me. Carroll for £16 million will be a bargain.

3. Are Spain the greatest International side ever?

Nope England 1966 are. Pure patriotism.

4. What one rule change would you like to see happen for season 3?

Introduce a new cup competiton or something, just to give us something different to the Crappy Cup

In a shock move, Cunning Canaries FC have changed there name to the more commercially viable Holton FC.

1. Quarter Finals of the Cup this week, who do you expect to go on and win it?
No idea, I'm out of the cup. Hero won it last year so could do well.

2. Some big moves have taken place over the last couple of weeks, who got the best buy?
Olly's done well I think.

3. Are Spain the greatest International side ever?
I dislike Spain.

4. What one rule change would you like to see happen for season 3?
I was going to ask if we could turn this into a realistic league.. doesn't seem necessary though.
I would suggest resetting squads

1. Quarter Finals of the Cup this week, who do you expect to go on and win it?
Any side which views the cup as a priority... so none of them.

2. Some big moves have taken place over the last couple of weeks, who got the best buy?
I think premier league players are the way forward with their prices being pushed up, so Carroll for £16 million could be a great buy.

3. Are Spain the greatest International side ever?
They are when Torres plays... I dislike Fab as a pseudo striker especially when Navas and Pedro are on with noone to cross to...

4. What one rule change would you like to see happen for season 3?
Maybe resetting squads for next season which would keep it fresh? Or teams are only able to hold onto 3 players or something like that. Oh and a better cup...

1. Quarter Finals of the Cup this week, who do you expect to go on and win it?
I hope to see my team in the final I believe we can win this.

2. Some big moves have taken place over the last couple of weeks, who got the best buy?
For me the Khedira deal stands out he has been very impressive and I would have him ahead of Schweinsteiger in my side.

3. Are Spain the greatest International side ever?
Not enough time to answer the question, unlike the other guys I wasn't born in the 60's to see the 1970 Brazil team so I would say yes from 08-12 this has been the greatest International side I have ever seen.

4. What one rule change would you like to see happen for season 3?
Don't go around picking and choosing the rules to fit you, for example the case of the star player in TP's earlier this season regarding Cherrys and Hulk.

1. Quarter Finals of the Cup this week, who do you expect to go on and win it?
Does anyone care about the cup?

2. Some big moves have taken place over the last couple of weeks, who got the best buy?
Marky signing Tevez and mugging off Olly for Hernanes to fund it

3. Are Spain the greatest International side ever?
No

4. What one rule change would you like to see happen for season 3?
Teams in the lower division should get 1st choice on Star Players
