He wouldn't have picked up the injury though - they would have never played him.

Apparently they have a clause to take him back in January if they wish. I won't forgive them for that if they do, selfish scousers.

Oh well, Carlton Cole will terrorise defence in his place. Now if only he could get the ball under control...

Holt to still not make the England squad

I don't want to blow my own trumpet (although we would if we could), but I think my team might me an advert for the benefits of selling the big names for the benefit of the whole team.

Gav's last set of tactics:


Subs: Speroni, Santon, Clyne, Samuel, Elias, Sulejmani, Jelavic


My best tactics now:


Subs: Speroni, Toure, Gibbs, Medel, Maher, Vucinic, Jelavic




I have had to sacrifice a few big names, but feel the overall team is much, much stronger now

I need to make a couple of deals today, anyone interested?

We'll still beat Norwich.

We'd beat Norwich with a footless midget up front.

I don't care about that, it just means Carroll won't be able to play against us

ello governor

There's only one deal I want to do, and Hero knows what it is.

Wanna bet on that. Look how Marky's bet nearly turned out

(It will be a hypothetical bet, that won't affect the league but we can pretend)

For the record, I'd have been happy to pay up and let you have Tevez after our bet, unfortunately the rules prevent such a deal happening.

Marky wrote:There's only one deal I want to do, and Hero knows what it is.

That sounds ominous and sexual.

I'll make a bet Olly, obviously no players can change hands.

To be honest if Nando would have said nothing I wouldn't have even remembered we did the bet! I was just so happy to see us not lose away

Lets do it so it involves the NFL fantasy thingy. Lets say if Norwich win you have to trade away your 1st round pick, but if West Ham win I have to trade away mine.

Hell no!

I don't care about the fantasy football thing on the Telegraph and I would happily transfer my highest point scorer for Titus Bramble, but the NFL one matters more.

Plus we don't have a footless midget up front, we have Carlton Cole. We're at a significant disadvantage.

Ok whoever loses the bet has to take out there highest points scorer in the Telegraph Fantasy Football for Titus Bramble. It's on

I'm not having a good day. I'm to oil the table (euphemism?) today but when I went to take the lid off I tweaked my back I'm worse than Michael Owen!

How big is the lid????

What is the funniest injuries to footballers you have heard of?

Ones that spring to my mind are:

Canizares missing the world cup after someone chucked him an aftershave bottle and he dropped it on his foot and severed a tendon.

And two former Bristol City ones are Rob Edwards missed the start of the season with a bad cut to his head after he banged it on the ceiling whilst trampolining during pre-season training, and Matt Bryant was out for several weeks after injuring his back whilst taking of his pants!

Was it David James who done his back after reaching for the remote?

Actually lol'd at this BBC Sport website headline.

"Scunthorpe manager Alan Knill suffers squirrel accident"

Wayne Rooney's gash.

It's a small lid but it's one of those ones where you have to press the sides and turn it at the same time. It's completely stuck too, I still can't get it off

I'd say Darius Vassell using a Black and Decker drill to burst a blood blister underneath his big toenail and gétting an infection is the funniest injury.

Not an injury but didnt Phil Babb use Football Manager as a tiredness excuse??

I once had to drill through my own big toenail to release a load of blood and pressure that had built up after I dropped a coffee table on it.

What about Phil Babb sliding full speed into the post and crunching his you know what's..

I laughed very much at that moment and still do.

Liverpool provide a lot of footballing comedy.

I still chuckle at the Djimi Traore accidental Cruyff turn in the cup v Burnley

Just to cheer up my lunchtime, here is the link...

Djimi Traore. Might sign him in TP's

It was still not better than Jamie Pollock's own goal

Which one was that Sod?

Don't blame it on the Biscan has to be one of the best football chants ever

I can't provide a Youtube link because of my work fun blockers, but type in Jamie Pollock own goal and it will be there!

He lobbed a player and then went to nod it back to his keeper but put too much on it.

Marky wrote:Djimi Traore. Might sign him in TP's

Why don't you then?

That was the Man City one wasn't it. I think it might have sent them down as well.

I'm pretty sure he scored a belter of a volley own goal when he was at Middlesboro too

Chris Brass scored one by kicking it off his own face too - broke his nose while doing it.

Iain Dowie scored a belter though. Planted a Stockport corner into his own net with a proper strikers header.

Because I've already used up my 2 TP's for this week. If you sign him, you can sell him to me?

An you will buy him?

Why would you want Djimi Traore in your team Marky?

Quiz question I saw elsewhere on the board (no googling):

A match at the 1966 World Cup was played at a London venue - but not Wembley Stadium. Which venue?

I'mnot trying to be rude mate but can you please mind your own business.

'mnot trying to be rude mate but can you please mind your own business.

OK mate, Frankie says Relax!
Your supposed to make me feel welcome and want to join this league. Id suggest you work on that

Of course Viva. Sign Traore and I'll make you a cash offer.

Meet Viva.

He's the Brendan Rogers of our league, in that he has no strikers and is going to end up playing his reserve as he can't get another one in

I think Viva got fired from his day job as a greeter.

No Marky I'm not silly, you are going to buy him off me for the same amount I bought him for.

Zidane I am a very warm and welcoming person but when people start to interfere into things that don't concern them I get a bit annoyed. I'll let you of with a warning pal

Afro no I'm the one that won't get bullied into doing deals because it suits the other party.

Sodhat I didn't I resigned and now I'm going to a press conference.

I want to go Nandos today.

Sorry Brendan
