Euro Division Homepage LXXVI

Okay so I am up for selling some players.

If there is anyone that interests you at Bremen then please let me know. Petersen and Hunt are not for sale but I might accept a huge offer for Elia.

FYI, I am on holiday for two weeks, 18 August to 31 August. I think my voting falls then.

Fine, I've swapped week 8 and 10 around. You now vote from the 12th August

Thank you sir. I might ask Marky to run my side for a fortnight.

I'm away from 18th August for 2 weeks although I'm in the country so I should be able to do tactics without a problem.

Fair warning in case you think I've vanished though.

And I might say yes

Any other Euro Division luminaries to come back for a short spell?

Gregers is still poking around the site I see.

That would be grand

As a person, I really hate Steven Gerrard. "Worst 3 months of my life" - that should actually have been the PRISON SPELL FOR ASSAULTING THAT GUY IN THE BAR YOU SCOUSE CON ARTIST!

Lets be honest, if Steven Gerrard went to jail for 3 months it'd be a low security, almost poop hotel like place.

What happened to Gregers? He just left like that.

In his final year at uni isnt he?

He's working.

I think he was probably a bit put off these leagues after the whole N.E.D thing.

I have to say, I barely remember a thing Gregers has said. Which may not be a bad thing.

I remember Gregers saying that he was diagnosed with depression and that was a few weeks before we closed down the other league and started this one. He was also busy with work I believe.

With that said, this is running remarkably smoothly, Thank you to all. 2 missed tactics in 6 weeks.

Thank you too GSC and you are welcome. You have done an amazing job.

My goal for the rest of the season: To win a game!!!!

You were close to a draw Miky. Just felt you needed a bit more detail in how you wanted to get at Afro. Defense and general idea was fine.

Amen to that. GSC, no-one wanted to step up and run the league, but you've done pretty stellar work. Bravo.

Miky you will. Have confidence. And maybe give me manager of the week so I can give you a win when I vote   

Joking, obvs.

I realise now that I should of put something in about that and I was actually going to but I guess I decided not to. Thanks for the feedback though.

I have confidence and I put it into the tactics but I get exposed by better teams I guess Azzy.

Also there's no way im giving you manager of the week when you were trying to charge me 15m for De Vrij!

Just joking I wouldn't want to sell him for less than around that price either if I had him. Completely understandable.

Its fairly easy to be fair. Only takes me around 30-60 minutes a week to update players, league, scorers and draw lawyers/injuries.

Nobodys had any dramas either.

And tbf Miky, you've got Trebs, Afro and Hero out the way.

True but I could still take losses from the other teams.

I want to build a passing side in the long term, possession football. Hopefully I can do that.

At least we're past the phase of 4-2-3-1 or go home.

I still chuckle at the 4-4-2 debacle.

It was interesting I think it was early in this league or the previous league when everyone set up as a 4-2-3-1 except maybe one person I think lol.

I played 5-2-2-1 when I first started in this league.

Mainly because Jordi Alba was my star player.

I perhaps need to pick a formation and stick with it but at the moment I am trying all sorts of lineups and tactics.

With relatively thin squads at present and 3 injuries, you're unlikely to play a similar team each week anyway

Looking back I also got hammered 14-4 on goal votes by Viva in that game. Good times.

I think I then beat Marky week 2 but went to the cinema instead of voting so got bumped down to a draw.

True.

I'm enjoying the league though in all honesty, okay I have lost all my matches but I am getting stuck in.

Oh right okay.

I liked our previous set ups too but I understand the problems that people had with it. The main part I looked forward to was feedback and results because it helped me shape my side.

To be fair I PM people for info and people kindly help me in this league so I still get that feedback really.

What film was it? Twilight?

As long as you're enjoying it. I'm here for the epic bantz mostly.

I see Scholes signed up to do punditry on BT sport.

Wilshere would've got on Sky

girlfriend chose it so probably.

I'm enjoying the league for definite.

Who's going to win the Premier League this year then? Obviously I'm going to say Chelsea and I think they will anyway.

Citeh

I don't get it with Scholes. Spent a career dodging the media and now when he's out of the cauldron after retiring he just re-inserts himself.

Kinda makes me wonder if hes seen Neville and Keane and thought controversial opinions = $$$

Is Scholes replacing someone or is he being added to the team?

They have Michael Owen who I'd imagine could do with a good removing.

Do you know he can't watch fictional films?

Top 12 inane Michael Owen commentary quotes:

“What a feeling it is to be a manager and bring someone on.”

“It’s a good run but it’s a poor run, if you know what I mean?”

“It’s a nightmare for strikers when defences push up. You’ve got to go with them or you’re offside.”

“Wenger will be quite happy that Arsenal haven’t conceded”. Yep, probably.

With Liverpool launching a counter-attack against Arsenal: “They’re outswarming them!”.

“Pellegrini will speak to them and City will come out with a fresh set of impetus.”

“That’s simple as…simple”.

“To stay in the game, you have to stay in the game”.

You have to believe your own eyes, don’t you?”

After Chelsea scored their sixth goal against Arsenal: “This is turning into a rout.”

“That would’ve been a goal had it gone inside the post.”

“You need people who score goals. That’s how you win games”.

I take it you don't like Owen as a commentator Soddy? Lol.

I can hear Owen's whiny voice saying all of those things. God damn you. He is the worst 'commentator' in football history. I'd rather listen to Philip Neville.

He's not worse than Townsend.

Some of these crack me up though

It's the homepage that makes the league.

And of all of them this one made me laugh most:

"He's 23 years of old" - MICKY QUINN

"Ronnie Moran had us as young boys, religiously" - PHIL THOMPSON

  

""And now over to Barnet for another flash from Jacqui Oatley" - IAN ROBERTSON

Well I know I wouldn't mind.

Just googled her. She's not bad is she?

There used to be a lady commentator on MOTD when I was a kid, but she only got to do the round up of the poo games at the end.

"I think one of these teams could win this" - ANDY TOWNSEND, BEFORE UEFA SUPER CUP FINAL
