I'd just get any game don't open it and wait till Fifa comes out and if Gamestation is still around return it back for Fifa 13 or if it comes down to them closing down at least you have games you can exchange for Fifa 13.

Soddy Darrius Heyward Bay will score more than 5 fantasy points tonight won't he?

If not Matt Prater and Heyward Bay would have failed to gain the 9 points between them for me to beat GSC this week

There has been a bit of confusion around who does what in terms of lawyers and injuries. This week TSJ did the Premier League lawyers and posted them on admin ready to be posted this morning, but then Russ did a set as well.

We are going to clarify who should do what shortly. In the meanwhile, please consider Russ's lawyers as provisional for the moment (sorry Marky, but you will need to hold fire on accepting them)

Sorry, I just assumed as I did it all last week, as hero said it was okay,and that's why I did it again this week.

No problem Russ. We just want to avoid doubling up. We had had a discussion on admin and I had also done some (meaning that 3 people thought they should do them!!!)

We are just confirming everyone who we have down to do jobs is happy to do them and then we will let everyone know on here.

Well I've not only accepted both my offers I've signed a TP replacement, so all three transfers would be null and void if you changed it. (Unless one of my offers was still Coloccini then change it by all means!)

He should get the yards but I don't know if he is the redzone threat. I get the feeling that Streater or Criner would be used in that role because they're bigger dudes, and we don't have a tight end that can catch it!

P.S. I haven't seen the score to the Steelers/Broncos game and I would kindly ask no mention is made of that...

Did you see 49ers/Packers?

Unless they are better TPs

This was kind of agreed last week, but we have firmed it up. The following people are going to do the following going forward.

Premier League
Lawyers - Afro
Injuries - Olly

Championship
Lawyers - TSJ
Injuries - Sod

We are also posting up the original list of lawyers that I did on Saturday as I was supposed to be doing them anyway (sorry Russ and sorry Marky, it does mean you'll have to reverse your deals unless you accept one of the new lawyers offers).

Correct lawyers will be up shortly

No worries.

We keeping Russ's Premier injuries though as noone else had done them yet

Thanks for that Russ

My team has only scored like a poultry 3 TD's between them, but have been racking up the yards so I need over 90 points to beat GSC!

Relying on Heyward Bay to see me over the line. I watched the Broncos Steelers game, Mike Carlson is a legend!

I got like 1 touchdown from Shonn Greene, unless Eric Decker went nuts on the Steelers (don't tell me!)

Cam had big yards but 2 picks, none of my other backs were any good. Fleener and Roddy White did well though.

Right back off to school now, considering my lawyers offer for Adebayor especially. Up for a deal if anybody wants to make an offer, if not see you guys later

(Off to try and explain to my English teacher on my first lesson why I haven't read Othello yet. Good start)

Rodgers failed me a bit, but got decent points. Martin and Charles did ok at RB, no TD's though. Maclin and Heyward Bay are my WR's with Maclin doing a solid job. Had Davis at TE, so he got a TD and Prater did alright as my kicker. Cowboys D did well, and Rudolph did alright in the flex for me, but Fleener on the bench outscored him in my only wrong move so far

I left Hillis in the flex and he sucked. I'm going with my instict next time and starting a WR there!

Anyone played Dead Island?
Got it a few days ago, really enjoying it but the weapons hardly last at all.

Is that the one where you're on an island with zombies? It's a kind of Grand Theft Auto-type play where you can run about shooting stuff at your leisure?

Yes that's the one.

Have edited and undone the transfers I made last night.

If anyone wants to sign Mario Fernandes, he's a great Brazilian CB/RB, someone I rate higher than Dede, and counts as a U21 (U22) for the cup

It's a very good game. My only issue with it was that it got a little tedious by the end.

Raheem Sterling and Adam Lallana called up to the England squad alongside Jake Livermore

My friend has it. He enjoyed it but said it got a bit samey I think.

I think that is the issue with most games of the sandbox ilk though, especially ones like Assassin's Creed etc.

I'd really like for a developer to put together a MMORPG involving zombies.

Lallana has looked really good - I remember you drafted him originally for this.

I wanted to buy Lallana but didn't think he was rated highly enough.

I was reading about him over the weekend how Utd dropped him at the age of 7 for being lazy!

And you sold him. You should've trust my judgement, he'd fetch far more now tut tut

The best player in the championship last year btw

I would have kept him but I'd never play the poor boy. Plus no one speaks English at the Silly Nannies, he'd be all on his own.

I realise I have Andy Carroll but he's from Newcastle, so I stand by my original comment.

I might snap him up myself

The athletes of the London Olympics are parading about 200 yards away right now, but I'm so lazy I'm sat at my desk with tea and a cake instead.

Corrected

I think my neighbour has copped it

What makes you say that?

Someone's been wheeled into an ambulance that had been parked in the driveway I think.

I know, a bit morbid for a Monday afternoon.

Best time for being morbid. Worst afternoon of the week.

I'm hitting the wall now, I stayed up til 1am last night to watch the game and I'm really not made to not get loads of sleep

Add in that I paid £140 to be able to watch the games anytime and my decision becomes more baffling.

Go to sleep at the desk for a couple of hours and then you'll be fresh for the tennis this evening

I won't watch the tennis I wouldn't have thought, although I could wake up at 3am for more American football...

I can't sleep at my desk really, my boss is about 3 metres away. Now the toilet, that's a different matter.

I admire you. I don't think I could watch a full re-run of any match of any sport.

I like AF, but I just despise the constant ad breaks which ruin it as a sport for me. When the Beeb have occasionally shown games in the past I much prefer it.

Now the toilet, that's a different matter.

Sodhat, what you do is, drink a cup of coffee, go to the toilet and set a timer/alarm on your phone for 10-15 minutes time, hold it in your hand and have a little power nap. Once awake the coffee will kick in and your power nap will revitalise you.

It gets frustrating sometimes, but when you watch the re-runs they have cut all that out - so it's easier to watch actually

I don't mind the ads they show on American TV because they are entertaining, but the ones on British TV are garbage about toilet duck or buying a Lexus.

How big though was this toilet duck? Was it horse-sized?

Now that's a science experiment I want to test.

The other I've heard is to hold a set of keys in your hand. When you begin to drift too far into sleep (10-15 minutes in), you will drop the keys and that will wake you up again.

Right, see you in 15 minutes

I have considered that before. After the Christmas party I was so monumentally wrecked that I would go to the toilet every 20 minutes and have a lie on the floor for five minutes. If I fell asleep I wouldn't be getting back up...

I couldn't tell - it was only there for a moment and then some nutter jumped out of a tree and booted it in the face before climbing back up another tree.

Now that's a science experiment I want to test.

It works, I justed to do it at an old job when I was a student. Also helps to tell a colleague you trust where you are, as if you not back in 15 mins to come and get you. Thats the back up plan.
The coffee takes 15 min to get into your system, apparently, so thats where the 'extra power nap' comes from.

If the plan went awry and someone was to find you sleeping in the toilet, you could say you have that illness that makes you pass out when you poo. JD had it on Scrubs.

JD had it on Scrubs.

Haha, yes he did. That was a funny ep.

You'd need to have pooed though.

That is the only downfall of my plan. It's the downfall of all my plans.
