Nah I've had pretty good week today.

Yeah I had a pretty good year last month too.

Leave me alone I'm tired.
Woke up early for a crappy race.

F1 isn't very exciting at the moment is it?

I can't believe West Brom vs Arsenal is picked for Sky over Spurs vs West Ham.

Norwich defending  

West Ham scored the least amount of away goals out of all the top 7 divisions last season, maybe Sky wanted a shot at a decent game?

am i in guys?

Will you trade me Ogbonna and Paulinho?

Half time, Albion 1-0 up. Wilshere looks dreadful, both Ozil and Ramsey are far better. Sessegnon is so dangerous, Flamini is cr@pping himself every time Sessy gets on the ball

Fate says hello.

And where is Lukaku+? Is he on the bench or injured again?

Well I may be alone here, but Sky have dropped the ball on this one.

Still can't believe we lost today.

Willian's goal was ridiculous, as was Hazard's for a different reason.

Thought RVW did really well today actually, certainly becoming much more effective

Soddy - Wilshere's goal was a deflection, all he did in 90mins was moan, dive, lash out, should have got 4 yellow cards, was given one, and put through one beautiful pass for Giroud. One of his very worst games I've ever seen him play.

Anichebe was at home washing his hair.

Great win for you guys!

il put team page up tomorrow then..?

...you trade me Paulinho and Ogbonna.

Haven't we been here before. CF takes over a team, signs Giuseppe Rossi then leaves. Paddy optional

He won't sign Rossi atm, he's bang in form.

I was going to sign Rossi a couple of weeks ago and TM put his value up the day before I got the money together.

Might have to settle for Hitzelsperger then

so should i put the page up or not.

Morning

Votes by 11.59 pm today?

Morning all.

Yes Viva

Cheers Mighty.

Yes put the page up.

But non-participation will result in the page coming straight back down.

Good weekend for me. Both my teams got wins over rivals, West Ham gloriously pounding Spurs (my 8-0 prediction doesn't look so silly now) and the Oakland beating San Diego. I even got to watch that live before I left for work.

Safe to say Gregers can expect an increase in Ravel Morrison's current TM value of £650k.

Ravel has an evil look in his eyes, not a friendly guy.

I'd imagine Sodhat pretty much danced his way to work today!

I know what you mean, he looks 100% like a wrongun. He's supposedly got his head in the right place now though. If it lasts he is a quality player.

My 6 a side team won it's first ever game yesterday (at the third attempt), a deserved 1-0 win for Chicken Kiev

It was great, there were birds singing and flying around me, rabbits and squirrels were following joyously in my wake, and the rare duck-sized horse was skipping alongside me. It was ruined a little bit when some nutter jumped out of a tree and kicked the horse to death, but aside from that it was thoroughly delightful.

Right, CF you are in. Get your page up.

Completely coincidentally, I take this random opportunity to remind managers about some rules around transfers..

For anyone that joins the league after it begins then the following rule applies for the first two weeks:

For any deal made with a new manager in the first two weeks, the value of the deal going TO the new manager must be equal or more than the value of the deal going FROM them

Note that once 2 weeks have passed then the manager is allowed to buy and sell as they please but this rule is in place to combat new managers being robbed of their star players and the team being weakened.

Transfers that are stacked heavily in one party's favour may be reviewed by the runners and cancelled if it is held that it is unfair for it to stand.

Also with regard to it being CF and his past history of being in and out more times than an overworked gigolo, I am slightly amending Azzy's finders fee. Azzy, you will get £1m each week that CF submits full tactics and votes for a maximum period of 5 weeks, meaning if CF is completely on board, you will get £5m

Andy Reid back in the Ireland squad so there's another one that will inevitably get injured over the break.

You should probably clarify what full tactics are to prevent paddys

Okay.

Have a look at all the tactics posted up this week and last. They need to be at least as comprehensive as those.

So starting XI and subs, a team talk and individual tactical instructions aimed at specific players.

My mate is back from Hong Kong and he's shared some insider tidbits if you wish to believe them or not...

The reason Utd floundered so badly in the transfer window was that they were counting on getting Ronaldo, they had made the 7 shirt available for him but they just couldn't get the deal to fruition.
As the deal looked dead they did make a last ditch effort instead for Bale.
A certain player known to play around (with family members wife's etc) is at it now with a member of the PR team.
Another certain player who joined last year and is well thought of and just became a dad is also a bit of a player with the ladies still.
And the rumour involving why a new player isn't getting games due to knocking off the managers daughter is true.

Well Perez said United tried for Bale.

We tried to get Zaha on loan so he can't be that far out of favor

So what am I offered for Barzagli.....?

So that's why he's been able to play so long...

Imagine how fit he must be to knock off all these women?

I've been robbed by William Hill so I'm going to complain until they give me my money and I will go to another bookie. Who is good?

Have you guys seen Moyes's daughter? Fair play to Zaha for boning her

Good old Zilf.

Final call on Barzagli, or he is offski to lawyers

beat £12.5m and he is yours

And by contrast to Soddy, my sporting weekend threatened to be great, but ultimately ended up with me consoling myself with a tube of pringles at midnight

That's quite a brag

Lauren Moyes she's peng.

Bet 365

Trust Azzy to set a 11am deadline for the Azzrentice then no-show it...

How sad I am determines the flavour. Yesterday it was Salted

I had "any other Bronco" to score a TD any time and from my memory the people better priced (than 3/1) were Welker, Decker, both Thomases and Moreno.

I am 100% sure that Peyton Frak Manning who hasn't scored a TD for 5 years wasn't better than 3/1 to score and yet I've not been paid out.

Then I had "any other Raider" to score first, and I saw that Rivera and Streater were below the line, which was at 16/1. Streater scored first. I got nothing. I know for a fact that Streater was below the line when I placed the bet because he was the reason I placed it!

I bet they offer me my stake back only. I'm not quitting without having a proper go at them though.

They'll just pay you out if you shout loud enough
