Michael Owen in the early 2000's is up there with the Fernando Torres early Liverpool years as the most clinical strikers I've seen

by Marky Fri 06 Jun 2014, 9:51 am

Alright pissflaps

by sodhat Fri 06 Jun 2014, 9:52 am

I always felt he might score when he was on the pitch for England. I can't say the same for Rooney, I mostly feel like he'll give the ball away a lot.

by Azzy Fri 06 Jun 2014, 9:57 am

The league table needs to be in alphabetical order.

What else needs sorting?

by sodhat Fri 06 Jun 2014, 9:59 am

Post?

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:03 am

I really can't be bothered to rearrange the table before anybodys played.

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:05 am

Deadlines I suppose. Final agreement in lawyers, TPs and injuries.

Need a league name.

I'm into a meeting for a few hours shortly so sort it between yourselves.

by sodhat Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:08 am

Few hours? Blimey. I'd need buckets of coffee to keep my eyes open.

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:08 am

Less a meeting, more a sharepoint tutorial.

by sodhat Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:10 am

That's worse.

by sodhat Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:11 am

Is this the best tennis headline ever on BBC sport?:

"Murray not overawed by Nadal semi"

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:12 am

Yeah probably. Been put back to 11 now anyway.

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:14 am

De Gea got murked twice

by Holymiky Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:15 am

In all seriousness that is going to be a tough match for Murray, Nadal is brilliant on clay, his record proves that.

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:17 am

Anyway, feel free to stick up team pages.

I'll see if I can get Hero to make sections later.

I worry that the semi will be too big for Murray.

It'll be a tight squeeze, but I think Nadal will penetrate Murray at the baseline.

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:20 am

Nottingham shortlisted as a City of Football Cool

by Azzy Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:29 am

Murray needs to get on top of the Nadal semi early doors.

by Holymiky Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:30 am

For Scheduling - how about Monday night for Tactics then votes by midnight on Friday night?

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:32 am

I had it other way round no?

Get your tactics in for the end of the week and give the voter the weekend and monday (though with 1 person its not critical)

by Holymiky Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:32 am

Oops sorry, I didn't know that.

That sounds good.

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:33 am

Nah I'm open to suggestions. No need to say sorry Wink

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:36 am

And tbf I can see benefits for both.

Tactics in for monday allows you to start on lawyers/injuries after your previous game.

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:40 am

plus the voter gets 4 weekdays as opposed to 1/the weekend when its pretty inactive. Not a bad shout.

He just can't let Nadal dominate his backcourt.

He really has to attack the balls.

by Azzy Fri 06 Jun 2014, 10:55 am

Murray can't let the crowd put him off, this is the hardest semi of his life and he doesn't want to lose it.

by sodhat Fri 06 Jun 2014, 11:03 am

Can he keep it up for long enough though, Azzy? He might start to flag and soften up in the heat.

by **Afro** Fri 06 Jun 2014, 11:13 am

Given the hardness of the semi, he's probably just relieved he's not facing Roger

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 11:22 am

Delia leaves Norwich to take charge of Celtic then.

by Azzy Fri 06 Jun 2014, 11:23 am

If this semi ends with Murray dropping a deuce, I'll vomit.

by Azzy Fri 06 Jun 2014, 11:39 am

There are some cracking quotes in the old Azzrentice threads:

Hero wrote:The Chelsea 'Blue' Print
The transfer window
In:
Courtois: 2m recall
Lukaku: Freebie
Fellaini: Sturridge + 10m
Cavani: 30m

Out:
Sturridge: PX to Everton
Malouda to Marseille 5m
Mikel to AC Milan 10m

Fellaini - Signing the big Belgian is an essential move for Chelsea Football Club for several reasons. Firstly that he adds much needed height to our midfield. This was something that was solely lacking against Juventus in the Champions League with clearances from Cech being easily won by the opposition defenders. Having someone like Fellaini there to knock it down to Mata/Hazard/Oscar will allow them to play their natural games. Fellaini has constantly proved this season how hard he is to play against and therefore will allow us to dominate more matches. Ideally we will be looking at him going box to box in the Yaya Toure role which will allow him to smash through the opposition. We believe that a deal that sees Sturridge and cash going the other way should be enough to release him from Everton.

Why Chosen? - Adds much needed height to our midfield
- Going box to box he can allow us to control the game
- Has amazing hair that will link up well with David Luiz's
- Is available to play in the Champions League and will be playing teams that will have seen very little of him

THE FACKTS PRESENTATION

PLAYERS IN
Yann M'Vila - £16m - Rennes

Yann is a player who has been highly sought after in the past and has had his attitude questioned from many people. However his talent as a DM cannot be questioned and we want to take him on as we feel he has a point to prove. He would also help us plug a hole in our team at DM, we feel he is an improvement on Mikel. Taking him on may be a risk, but we will nurture him and give him all the tools to become the top top midfielder that he can become.

And this was not that long ago Laugh

by The Special Juan Fri 06 Jun 2014, 12:01 pm

They've changed it to "semi-final" now Sad

(Also, immature to laugh at that when Azzy's name has the word "Coming" in it)

by sodhat Fri 06 Jun 2014, 12:13 pm

I remember that Chelsea task, and I was marked down for signing Schneiderlin because he wasn't deemed good enough.

HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW?

I still don't like you. I still don't rate him. I'd play Ward-Prowse over him every time.

by The Special Juan Fri 06 Jun 2014, 12:14 pm

Where's the Sheep?

by sodhat Fri 06 Jun 2014, 12:19 pm

I'll try and give it a go this afternoon.

But first, I want to overhaul my filing system and shred a load of stuff. Because I'm an exciting guy.

Defiant to the end. No wonder you're not a real millionaire like Alan Sugar. He'd play Schneiderlin.

by Azzy Fri 06 Jun 2014, 12:23 pm

Sugar would sign Ward-Prowse. He likes English kids in his teams. Like Nick Barmby. He doesn't like dealing with agents, especially foreign ones like Schneiderlin's.

I'll play Sheep after 2 xx

by FIFA Diva Fri 06 Jun 2014, 1:05 pm

I'm off to lunch someone out sheep questions up now deadline 2pm.thabk you

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 06 Jun 2014, 1:09 pm

SODHAT DO SHEEP

by The Special Juan Fri 06 Jun 2014, 1:17 pm

1) Who's semi is the most likely to overawe Murray?

by FIFA Diva Fri 06 Jun 2014, 1:26 pm

Tsonga

by Azzy Fri 06 Jun 2014, 1:44 pm

John Isner.

by Azzy Fri 06 Jun 2014, 1:53 pm

Tactics = Monday
Voting = Friday
Lawyers = 2 every Tuesday
TPs = 2 per week, no TP limit
Injuries = 3 per week, drawn on Tuesdays
League name = The Nadal Semi League (NSL)

by Azzy Fri 06 Jun 2014, 1:55 pm

Are we doing releases too? I'd limit those to 1 per week as well.

Also, I have rounded my player values. £4.04m = £4m, £742.5k = £750k etc. We all need to do that else we'll all have stupid budgets.

by GSC Fri 06 Jun 2014, 2:05 pm

Tbh I just took a rounded figure from the values Cherries posted for the budgets. Tis close enough

by FIFA Diva Fri 06 Jun 2014, 2:10 pm

No Sheep I guess.

Whats everyone doing this weekend?

by Azzy Fri 06 Jun 2014, 2:13 pm

Soddy is running sheep. Give him time.

by sodhat Fri 06 Jun 2014, 2:14 pm

If someone does questions I'll take answers

Currently eating and it's impairing my thinking
