I would presume results will be pushed back to Wednesday, with votes deadline tomorrow with it being a bank holiday today?

I will be doing espionage tomorrow!

Injuries and lawyers will be up as usual in about half an hour, I'm in the process of drawing them.

Injuries and lawyers are up.

No one want's to know why i will be on an espionage mission tomorrow It has something to do with football.

Why are you on an espionage mission tomorrow?

Because I a Manchester United fan will be going to the emirates tomorrow...so its an espionage mission, I must pretend to be one of them.

I took my mate to Anfield a few years back for his birthday, beforehand Utd v City was on the telly in the Anfield pub outside, had to keep very very quiet when Utd scored.

Yeah, It will be hard though I am a neutral in the game, don't really care who wins: My cousins wanted me to go so I just agreed to it, though will be hard not to talk about RVP  

Perhaps don't start singing about Arsene being a ....

Or about how he needs to spend?

I went to the Emirates last week, it's a quality stadium.

I have sat as an Everton fan in with Liverpool fans in the away end at St Andrews as Birmingham beat them 2-1. Listening to there moaning about losing made up for having to endure you'll never walk alone for 2 hours

You'll be halfway there with your southern fairy accent.

That's most Utd fans though.

Bull, won't you be at the Emirroids to be a secret Turk?

Hey Bull's only 18, if he puts on a French accent and dribbles aimlessly about outside Wenger may sign him.

"Good moaning Monsieur Wenger"

The Emirates was like a building site when I was there a couple of weeks ago. Flats going up left right and centre, presumably generating more money Wenger won't spend.

Morning

Straw poll

Do I take Thursday and Friday off work to play Madden 25?

Morning all!

I'll be doing votes momentarily.

No rush on votes by the way, it's all moved back a day so results will be tomorrow now unless everyone gets them in early.

Morning all.

Will vote later in today, but in the meanwhile, anyone interested in Benat, as I weigh up his lawyers offer?

Votes now sent.

Nah, save the days for GTAV

Benat was quality last season. Im not interested tho Afro.
Anyone want to beat Granero lawyers offer?

I wasn't planning to sell him tbh ZZZ, but given the lawyers offer and that I have Oscar de Marcos in his position as well, I am weighing up cashing in to improve elsewhere.

What date is GTA released?

How boring were Chelsea they came for a point.

17th September Viva so it's getting closer!

Nope Marky ill be on Arsenal side and pretend to be one of them.

I'm 17 btw Hero not 18.

You know what, I would usually be interested but I cant afford 12m+ on a midfielder. I have to strengthen other areas.

West Ham and Manchester City have played the exact same opponents through 2 games.

West Ham have 4 points, Man City have 3.

#winning

I'm not that excited for GTA, they've never really been great games had a couple of good missions but story line always lacking.

Thursday so you can tell me how good it is before I get it on Friday.

It looks so so so good

Save your money, don't buy Madden 25. It won't be that much different to Madden 24, it's not worth £40. Get Madden 26 next year.

Maybe sdo Soddy but Fat Sam still didnt play Rat!! Why not huh? Im taking him out my fantasy team this week.

Viva, whats wrong with you? The last one wasnt so good but this one looks epic. Three playable characters & the ability to switch anytime, even during missions adds a new depth to missions.
Im looking forward to it.

My money has already been committed I'm afraid. I always get my use out of Madden though, because I play it to death.

I don't reckon I'll buy Fifa this year, 13 is pretty good still. I've only just started a new career on it too.

Soddy are you drafting in the East league tonight then?

Have you got some sleepers up your sleeve? I have a couple if you want some tips...

Yeah the draft is at 8:30pm. I don't really have a plan at all. I'm going in blind and I'll see what I'm left with at 9.

I'm guessing AP is the consensus #1 pick. I wonder if I can get Brees at #9 because he'll always throw a billion touchdowns.

I would be drafting, If I was not being dragged to the emirates!

ZZZ don't forget how awesome GTA Online looks!

I'd still go with Rodgers first overall. You might want to take a punt on Kaepernick if he's still there at #9, or if not someone like Brees or Brady who's more of a guarantee should be there.

My sleepers are Eddie Lacy, Zach (STUDFELD) Sudfeld and one more I can't remember at this moment

I knew you'd say Sudfeld!

I think Brice Butler will have a nice year if we go with TP at quarterback. Which is really possible now...

STUDFELD is a machine. Seriously though he'll be our starting TE barring injury, and you know Tommy B loves a TE that doesn't murder people

Isn't it time that EA found someone other than John Madden for their AF games? There must be higher profile personalities to market them these days.

I mean imagine how many copies of Tom Brady 1 Olly would buy, just for the picture on the case

Bull wrote:ZZZ don't forget how awesome GTA Online looks!

Damn right!!!

I saw he was slated to start for you guys. We still don't have a TE locked in, we have about 5 maybes.

The 49ers back up TE, McDonald, he looked good when I watched him. I guess it depends how many 2 TE sets they run and whether they throw all that much. That's mostly why I'm staying clear of Kap.

I hope David Wilson falls to me at RB. He looks electric if he gets room to break it, and he's a clear #1 back at the Giants.

I think they're stuck with the brand now. I mean, he's been retired for a while and they still use his name. He supposedly chips in on development and scouting but I can't see him sat at an Xbox in his pants playing the game.

Realistically, someone like Brady would cost them a bomb and it would probably need to be someone that high profile to risk changing the branding.

But is a bit like Tiger Woods Golf being Arnold Palmer's PGA Tour instead

Either that or Madden is threatening to sit on them...

Is John Madden even alive?

Yes, he's still alive. He still pops up at Raiders games and he lit the Al Davis fire thing before. I think he looks older than he actually is. Massive bloke though.
