Yeah, more about how you want to play than specific instructions to players.

by **Afro** Tue 17 Jun 2014, 11:15 am

And it must contain 4 different forms of punctuation. No more and no less

by FIFA Diva Tue 17 Jun 2014, 11:45 am

I can't see anyone doing domestic deals with the current squads we have.

Thanks GSC I've got a base on how to do it.

Punctuation takes up space.

Valentin Stocker was the only player from this league I had interest in, and even then, he's not worth his TM value (as his real-life transfer proved). TPs all the way Euro Division Homepage LXXIV - Page 12 3559488474

So do vowels, but don't worry, I've fixed your post to get rid of them.

You best get practicing.

Haha not so clever now London Boy, it's probably that water they drink that makes them think like that. London has the worst water ever, no wonder these Londonites drink bottled water.

by **Afro** Tue 17 Jun 2014, 12:11 pm

Technically, a y can be both vowel and a consonant to be fair.

Unless your are speaking a Breton language of course

by sodhat Tue 17 Jun 2014, 12:11 pm

I had an argument with an ex-girlfriend about this and it got heated. Not in a good way.

I used to be like you, not accepting Y as a vowel, but I was wrong apparently and it is when there are no other standard vowels in the word.

In which case I was wrong to take it out of "anyone" all the same.

Ha, what an odd stereotype. Most people drink extra skinny frappe lattes with cream down here. Water is for the poor.

Just having a read. It is related to the sound, not the presence of other vowels. I would say you might have been right to take it out

She was older than you...just. You can only dream of scoring a mature chick like that.

Corrected.

Hey look I ain't taking no blame for circus gate, who doesn't wanna go to Britain's largest circus

Anyways she text me on Sunday so she clearly still wants the D Cool

by sodhat Tue 17 Jun 2014, 12:39 pm

Maybe there is a boot sale you can invite her to?

by **Afro** Tue 17 Jun 2014, 12:41 pm

Did she ask a second chance with your Big Top?

Excellent

by FIFA Diva Tue 17 Jun 2014, 2:15 pm

On my lunch break I signed up too William Hill, I deposited 10 pounds with them.

I've never betted with bookies ever before, Afro any tips pal? Should I do accumulators? Just sticking to Football bets.

by GSC Tue 17 Jun 2014, 2:16 pm

Btw I'm happy for people to round numbers to the nearest 100,000. TM got extra fiddly.

Depends how much risk you want to take.

Long term, you are highly unlikely to make a profit, but I would view it as a way to add a bit more interest in something. If you are watching a race, have a bet. If you watch a match, have a bet.

Always good fun to do an anytime scorer or something like that in a match. My current world cup one is that I popped £20 on Neymar to be top scorer, and as a bonus Paddy Power give me a free £5 bet each time he scores.

I am looking at a Belgium, Brazil and Russia treble today as well, whilst I also think Kingman will get revenge on Night of Thunder at Royal Ascot

Has anyone ever sat and thought about octopusses and how utterly freakish they are?

I would lose my sh!t if one clamped on to my face with its suckers. Everything under the sea is much creepier.

by The Special Juan Tue 17 Jun 2014, 3:27 pm

Why do white girls walk about in odd numbers?

Because they can't even.

Alright guys,

I've sorted out my transfers, updated my TPs page.

I have a suggestion though for the sake of my sanity. Can we all agree to round all transfers up to the nearest £250k? Be that lawyers, TPs, anything. Because all these little numbers are doing my head in.

by FIFA Diva Tue 17 Jun 2014, 9:04 pm

Mighty I've done an accumulator on Russia to beat South Korea, Croatia to beat Cameroon, England to beat Uruguay, Spain to beat Chile and Dutch to beat Australia 5 pounds and I win 58 pounds. What do you reckon?

by Fernando Tue 17 Jun 2014, 9:07 pm

I think you are going to lose £5

I would go along with suggestion, although perhaps go to up to nearest £100k. That way the smallest we are dealing with is £0.1m rather than £0.05m

who's going to cost me?

by **Afro** Tue 17 Jun 2014, 9:22 pm

One of the Croatia or Spain games will cost you.

by Fernando Tue 17 Jun 2014, 9:23 pm

Spain vs Chile, Russia vs Korea & England because we always do.

So on that note bet on the Aussies beating Holland been wrong alot so far Laugh

Yeah, I said people can just round up to the nearest 100k, given I rounded the budgets anyway

So, after game 1 of your acca, how do you feel?

by GSC Wed 18 Jun 2014, 9:23 am

Anyone else feel like Schedule release day is always a big let down. At least the WC is on.

Australia 1-3 Holland
Cameroon 0-1 Croatia
Chile 3-2 Spain

by sodhat Wed 18 Jun 2014, 9:25 am

I dunno, I mean we get Spurs on the first day. A big enough win and we'll be top and them bottom.

Then I will photograph that table and frame it.

Olly wrote:Why is Wilmots playing Chadli in behind Lukaku????

It was a bizarre starting line-up anyway. Lukaku was clearly not fit, while Chadli has barely played. He loves De Bruyne for some reason too. I'd rather have had Mertens on from the start as he's special, and Mirallas up top with his pace until Lukaku is fit.

Also I'd never play Witsel, I'd have had both Defour and Fellaini ahead of him personally.

by GSC Wed 18 Jun 2014, 9:34 am

Teddy Sheringham off the bench?
