If everyone sends their tactics to Hero and me

Need a volunteer to be back up for mine and Olly

by **Hero** Tue 12 Aug - 19:28

He's a Spurs fan so doesn't give two hoots about Vidal, I'll prob be on my deathbed by the time that deal is sorted out though.

Ah is he from down south then?!

Yeah it ain't gonna happen is it

by **Hero** Tue 12 Aug - 19:57

No born and bred in Macc but he's always supported Spurs, he says it was because the kit his school wore was the same colour but I reckon it's because Spurs were a decent side when he was a kid so he gloryhunted.
I managed to get messages of support from Ossie Ardilles and Ray Clemence for him which he was chuffed with.

So glory hunting runs in the family then Whistle

Ah that's cool, what's up with him just old age?

by **Hero** Tue 12 Aug - 20:46

The big C. Fought it for 3 1/2 years but it's finally won.

by **Hero** Tue 12 Aug - 20:48

He got me into supporting Utd, he took me to Old Trafford to watch Spurs v Utd when I was around 5 years old in the hope Spurs would win and I'd support them, at the time they were a decent side whilst Utd weren't that great. Utd though won 3-0 and I decided to follow Utd.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 12 Aug - 20:49

When was that? The 60's?! Wink

I come down the pitch to spinners, I much prefer them to pace bowlers.

I call 606v2 cricket match! Me and Nando captains. I pick Soddy, you get Cherries. I'll pick Viva, you get whoever. I'll then go off the board and pick TSJ.

Would like to point out at this stage I bat at 4, wicket keep and have a high score of 125 off 114 balls in adult cricket

You know Kwik Cricket doesn't count as adult cricket, right?

I am assuming that the extra fingers come in handy whilst wicketkeeping Whistle

by FIFA Diva Tue 12 Aug - 21:07

Hero change my name to Koba

Please.

by **Hero** Tue 12 Aug - 21:09

Can't manage the spacing but done best I can.

Hey that was proper, my tactics are simple. Go hard early whilst the field is up, then milk the singles and go after the Poopie bowlers.

And raspberry

Never a truer word spoken. It's not a sport anyway if only 5 teams play it.

I kind of agree you know. Why isn't it global? It must be a bit sh!t. Like rugby, only our colonies play it.

Although if 5 teams playing is your barometer does that mean the SPL isn't technically sport either? I mean only 1 team plays in that.

Ouch. There's 12 teams in the SPL (in theory, I don't know about practice).

Pleased with a draw given that Marky was going to do tactics and when he looked like he wasn't, I did them on my phone late last night!!

Reading the feedback, it highlights the difficulty in building a team to satisfy a different voter each week. For example, there are players that Azzy clearly rates, that I don't particularly, or that he views differently from me. If the schedule draw had been different and I had been voting on this weeks games, the results would probably have been different.

I have actually done tactics but was offline (and have been offline since yesterday) when I was going to post them due to a family emergency, apologies for not getting them send and glad it didn't have a negative impact.

Considering I've seen others get away with sending tactics on a Tuesday at a cost of £500k I'm shocked Azzy just did his own thing. Then again, I'm not at all shocked Whistle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 12 Aug - 22:07

Of course Crawley decide to beat Ipswich in extra time and not normal time so I lose me accy #Frak

by Marky Tue 12 Aug - 22:15

I've warned people for a long long time to stop backing Crawley in accumulators, we're the most inconsistent side in the Football League!

(At least you didn't back Wolves or Brentford)

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 12 Aug - 22:30

I knew you'd win tonight, but do it in normal time you bastards!!!

by Marky Tue 12 Aug - 22:32

Just be happy we knocked 'em out!

by Trebs Tue 12 Aug - 22:45

I'll vote next week if necessary.

by Holymiky Wed 13 Aug - 9:08

Morning all,

Costa scored a brace yesterday in the match against Real Sociedad as we won 2-0. Quality stuff.

Today's question/discussion is who is your favourite young player around at the moment (under 23)?

by FIFA Diva Wed 13 Aug - 9:15

Morning Miky.

Didn't we do this a few weeks ago? I choose Pogba and I still pick Pogba.

No worries mate. I'm wasn't bothered, it's only a game and other things are more important. I only did them because I could. If I'd had the default loss instead, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have lost any sleep over it.

by GSC Wed 13 Aug - 9:21

So EoS bonuses?

by Holymiky Wed 13 Aug - 9:22

Yeah I think we did Viva.

by FIFA Diva Wed 13 Aug - 9:24

Did you pick Hazard?

by GSC Wed 13 Aug - 9:27

I need a volunteer to act as reserve voter for mine and Ollys game.

Everybody needs to send their tactics to me as well as Hero. (except me and Olly who will copy in a volunteer/nominated individual)

Marky the rules are there for all to see. Tactics deadline is midnight Monday/Tuesday, and I then have until Friday to do results. I chose to do them at the time that was most convenient to me, Tuesday morning. Which is after the tactics deadline.

Tactics deadline = passed
Results deadline = adhered to and met

There should be zero problem here. And I gave all fair warning all throughout Monday that I was going to do that.

EoS = £5m for all teams, champions can nominate all 5 lawyers.

by GSC Wed 13 Aug - 9:28

Tbf, I don't really have an issue with it.

Deadline is still Monday, voter can vote after that. I said before you can have tactics in late as long as its before the voter votes.

by sodhat Wed 13 Aug - 9:29

I think late tactics should get no bonus personally. And then we send Maurice round to give them a good seeing to.

What time do you guys all go to bed? I'm getting progressively earlier and I feel like a square.

by GSC Wed 13 Aug - 9:30

Between 10-11 generally. Up at 6 so I like to a reasonable nights sleep.

by GSC Wed 13 Aug - 9:31

Going to set a precedent here I think.

If the voter can't vote for whatever reason, I'll give 5 volunteers a game each, extra 500k for voting.

by Holymiky Wed 13 Aug - 9:34

GSC I'm willing to vote on your game.

I usually go to bed between 12-2am unless I fall asleep earlier which does happen at times.

by sodhat Wed 13 Aug - 9:35

I'm up 7 and I still sleep between 10 and 11pm

by GSC Wed 13 Aug - 9:35

Works for me.

Olly copy Miky in tactics.

by GSC Wed 13 Aug - 9:36

sodhat wrote:I'm up 7 and I still sleep between 10 and 11pm

Yeah I usually head to bed about 10 and browse the web on my phone for half an hour or so.

by Azzy Wed 13 Aug - 9:37

Sounds fair GSC.

I go to bed any time from 11, normally closer to 12. Up at half 6. At weekends, I go bed about 2am, up at 7.

by GSC Wed 13 Aug - 9:42

Obviously

by sodhat Wed 13 Aug - 9:44

Half an hour is a long time mate. You're watching the wrong stuff.

I barely make it past the foreplay.

by FIFA Diva Wed 13 Aug - 9:45

Between 10:30 and 11:00, sometimes I feel like there's not enough hours in the day. I've joined gym 2 months ago and that is eating up my gaming time, so it's work, gym, eat watch TV for a bit and sleep.

Who watches that? Watch first 20 seconds, skip it to the middle watch that for a minute and then skip it to the money shot. Boom boom, goodnight.

We're p0rn brothers, Viva.

We should watch together.

After I was offline and dealing with family related issues, I should add. You didn't say it Monday morning. That's not "throughout Monday". Either way no harm done.

We can be the new bang bros.

Would you hump a midget?

I have a friend who really wants to do a midget, so when he's engaged I'm going to arrange midget strippers. They exist, right?

by **Hero** Wed 13 Aug - 9:59

Lucky you Sodhat, you get to be Viva's DP bro.

by **Hero** Wed 13 Aug - 9:59

My wife has a phobia of midgets, which is ironic as she's only 5ft 1 herself.

by sodhat Wed 13 Aug - 10:00

We'll Eiffel Tower a midget
