[Drederick Tatum]

anyone keen? Premiership season starts this coming weekend.

group name: Not Soccer
password: cantona

[TAL]

I'm not joining, just wanted to congratulate you on a great password (y)
I wrote that a year ago for the exact same reason.

[Planetary]

you want to start one on the premier league website.

they're better.

[Drederick Tatum]

have you tried the yahoo one?

[Drederick Tatum]

I'm looking at the Premier League one now and I'm not impressed. yahoo is alot easier to navigate and has more options and stats involved. you can't even change your formation on the PL.

I'm not even going to bother with that one.

[na§tee]

will it count if i get my boyfriend to do it for me with his football administration skills (he does actually, uh, work in football administration.. for, like, a living) and it'll be cute and funny and i'll contribute by having peter crouch involved as my vote? no..? i wanna play! /throws dummy.

i havnt tried the yahoo one, but atleast i made you waste your time looking at the PL. whatever, i'll sign up to anything, just .so i can beat you suckas..

[Drederick Tatum]

whatever makes you happy, man. do what you must to get you through the day.

[na§tee]

:(

[GetYourWarOn]

i'll join.

[Planetary]

sure why not. the more the merrierer...er.

[na§tee]

okay, i don't need your permission. edit: i do! cool, drederick. as i said below, i'm committed and unnaturally excited! WOOH!

i promise i will stay until the end, tal has told me what happens to girls who don't fulfil their fantasy football promises!

i really honestly do want to learn. but i am collaborating with the better half. hey, he lives hundreds of miles away and works at a football club, it'll be good for our relationship! his name is ranald. ranald, meet board. board, meet ranald.

imma DO THIS ISHT!

[na§tee]

okay, this is quite hilarious as i am falling on my female face here, but we need a) links and b) instructions. i just want to join the group atm, not set up my team as it is half two in the morning and i'm not sure R. will be to happy me calling him to see if john terry can be in ours cos he broke my heart when i saw him crying in the world cup..

[GetYourWarOn]

so if i tell yahoo that i'm a russian oligarch, will they automatically give me an additional 100 points to spend?

[na§tee]

ooh, i'm working it out. slowly but surely. need group ID #, not name.

[Drederick Tatum]

sorry there, party people. I studied at the Echewta School of Commisonership

ID# 9061

http://uk.sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/index.html

[na§tee]

oooh, i'm in! exciting.

imma create my team tomorrow, if you don't mind. i need consultation, research, and zen mastery.

we need to recruit MORE! more more more!

[Drederick Tatum]

alright! with nastee as co-commissioner this league is going to be awesome.

by the way nastee, I appoint you co-commissioner.

[na§tee]

lolz. well. what a great sarcastic t-shirt header that would make!

you have, like, trophies and shit, drederick. you're a pro.

when do we need to have our first line-up done by? the yahoo rules are out of date..

[GetYourWarOn]

i'm registered

[Drederick Tatum]

well, the Premier League will start this weekend, so by Friday I suppose. but you can still join after that, you just won't get the points from the previous weekend and since this week there are two games it's definitely worthwhile getting it done.

[paul jones]

I'll be doing one shortly soon laters soon(y)

[thegoodmrbrodie!]

see. a good reason for using the OFFICIAL PREMIER LEAGUE WITH BUDWEISER fantasy thing is that i have already set up my team and i could have been really lazy. now i have to think about things. goshdarnit.

[Drederick Tatum]

expect a PM from Co-Commissioner Nastee.

[icy manipulator]

done, i've prolly done it wrong but oh well. some players seem ridiculously cheap

[Planetary]

ok im signed up. now prepare to be destroyed!!!!!!!!!!

[Drederick Tatum]

done, i've prolly done it wrong but oh well. some players seem ridiculously cheap

just make sure you have 11 players each week.

[na§tee]

expect a PM from Co-Commissioner Nastee.
haha! i was about to do that but i logged in, checked up, and mistah brode was all signed up so he beat me to it. good show!

i've been reading up and i have all the point chart thingies and stuff.
ranald's gonna call in a couple of hours and we're gonna draw up a shortlist of players, none of this charging on in there stuff! it's going to be a precise science. yeahhh!

[burbboi]

i'm in. The Choda Chompers will truly be a force to be reckoned with. :D

[ToucanSpam]

If synch and freebasser arent in it, it's not good enough.

[Planetary]

stop kissing ass and sign up.

[ToucanSpam]

uhhhhhhhh


They were the best two from last year, I'm simply stating what kind of a league is it if first and second arent participating?


A second rate league, I guess.

[Planetary]

no. it's no second rate league. there are people in this year who werent last year, plus, if they're not there theresmore chance for you to win, even though you won't 'cause im there.

[Drederick Tatum]

uhhhhhhhh

pffft, last year I didn't participate, but in the years before I dominated the shit out of the league until there was no shit left. rirv got so upset, he threw a cyber tantrum and stormed out.

I expect this year to be no different. plantery keeps talking shit but really he's just some guy who's into rollerblading so whatever.

as if you just mistook my skateboarding for rollerblading.

rollerblading is a mugs game. as is underestimating my awesome power.

[Drederick Tatum]

your awesome rollerblading power.

[Planetary]

yeah we'll see, bitch bawls.

[ToucanSpam]

Well, I guess I'll join, just to make a point.

[Drederick Tatum]

we already know you suck.

[ToucanSpam]

What is that based on? Your fantastic people skills?



Right. We'll just have to see.

[icy manipulator]

shit, i've forgotten my yahoo details already.

[na§tee]

ranald and i finalised our team last night over the phone and with much humming and haaing. i think he had had a few beers which made him much more "listen claire, this is what we have to do..!"

our most 'expensive' player is the fucking goalkeeper! :confused:
i don't know, i kept on going "but it's not who we would want on our ideal team within these limits, it's who is going to get us the most POINTS! goalkeepers only get points when they x, y and z.."
but he insisted on this person - "whenever i see him he is just savesavesave!" so he's in. i got a few of my fellas in so i'm happy though, too. i guess we can all see each other's teams at the weekend, wooh!

[Drederick Tatum]

the reason he's savesavesave is probably cause the defence in front of him is piss poor.

however, if he's your most expensive player it's probably Cech or someone like that.

[na§tee]

the reason he's savesavesave is probably cause the defence in front of him is piss poor.
yes! that's exactly what he said. but that means more points for us, right? if he continues saving and doesn't let them in. cos you get points for, uh, saving.

it's not whoever you said it was though. it's some other guy. why on earth can't we share our team info already? are we meant to be secret and all sussing each other out and shit?

it's exciting. we were really serious. we drew up lists of pros and cons. he put me on speaker phone because it was THAT SERIOUS he needed both hands (to research with! research on the interwebs, like. shame on you!)

[Drederick Tatum]

well as Commissioner and Co-Commissioner I don't think a couple of sly PM's are out of the question.

and while it is true that saves do give points, he is only one man and some shots have to go in. I prefer to go for clean sheets with a couple of saves thrown in.

research is the way you win. I remember winning the BBMB American Football league a while back. I didn't really know an excessive amount about the game, but at that time I had so much time on my hands I could afford to read every article and analyse every position.

[na§tee]

(y)

[Drederick Tatum]

yeah, it was fun beating Americans at their own game.

[na§tee]

but will you get to beat teh brits at their own game, that is the question!

p.s. i thought you were american. bummer. canadian? there is a big gap of air where your location should be! forgive me.

[Drederick Tatum]

American? thankfully not. New Zealand is the name of the country where I live. Perhaps you've heard of us. We are a small island nation in the South Pacific. Go to a map, find Australia, look right and there we are.

[na§tee]

new zealand! i had absolutely no idea. i'm sorry, my lovely. forgive me. i'm still gonna beat yo ass, though! ;)

so have you met and touched dear gareth yet, or is that an honour that is reserved only for visitors to your island?

i was talking about nz in a thread recently.. mostly about those yacky weta-thingies you have. GAH!GAH!GAH!

[Drederick Tatum]

Gareth and I actually live in the same city, but have never really felt the need to make a connection. I think we're both content to leave the BBMB on the internet.

wetas are awesome and some of them can get real big. once when I was little, my friend had a weta on his back and he was so scared that he froze up and literally pissed his pants. hahaha, giant bugs and pee pants.

[Lex Diamonds]

Look at you all. "Consulting", "researching", "planning", "rollerblading". PATHETIC.

I just made my team in about 4 minutes flat and it is going to own the puny balls off each and every one of you. Except nastee, cuz she hasn't got balls (I think). She's a girl anyway so it's not like she'll be a challenge to me and my uberteam. :D(y)

lolz! haha. this is hilarious.

look now, we'll see who is right at the weekend, shall we? if this uberteam of lore can stand up to the powerful Nastee United? research and brains will triumph over frivolity and slapdashery!

i've seen the future, and it begins with §!

[Lex Diamonds]

Dicks and balls will triumph over tits and no balls! Why you think it's called football?

Wait and see, bonnie lass.

[na§tee]

Dicks and balls will triumph over tits and no balls!
haha, the base-ness of this sentence is making me hurt with laughter. stop it! i'm at work. giggles. hahaha! put that on a t-shirt!

btw, my boyfriend, has, uh, dick&balls. we are a partnership. or do my tits&noballs make his void?

and also, i'd like to point out that out of everyone, we have used the most amount of points at a whopping 99.93 so obviously our precise mathematics paid off. we have more bang for our buck. and you can see it all at the weekend! wooooh!

[Lex Diamonds]

Aha, so you're in partnership! Cheating by using two different brains are we?

It's like the Juventus syndicate all over again!

[ToucanSpam]

You're all gonna fuckin die.

[icy manipulator]

i had 4 aussie's in my team, now just down to the one :(

[burbboi]

You panzies better pick your teams soon.

[icy manipulator]

so has anyone been willing to fork nearly a quarter of their points for Henry? do we ever get to see what teams ppl choose?

[burbboi]

Negative on Henry. Can't justify the mammoth salary. The Choda Chompers are all stocked and locked with a buck and change to spare. (y)

Oh and commish or co-commish...are we going to be able to view each others' lineup at some point? When I go to check everyone's linup they look empty.

[Lex Diamonds]

End of this week we can see each other's teams. Like with the real Premiership. (y)

[burbboi]

Bangin'

[thegoodmrbrodie!]

i think i went with henry. i really cant remember though.

[Lex Diamonds]

I got Louis and Craig up front. (y)

And that's all the tips I'm giving.

[na§tee]

it is killing me not knowing what you guys have!
could we all just name our, uh, goalkeepers or something. no?
actually, we shouldn't. imma keep quiet. god, can you imagine me at christmas when i was a little girl?

[Lex Diamonds]

I bet you have Petr Cech.

[na§tee]

I DO NOT!
you just assumed that because i am a rookie and a girl i am stupid and just took the most famous one!
NO! YOU ARE WRONG, PADSTER!
I WILL BEAT YOU DOWN AND SPIT ON YOUR VERY WRONG FACE!
I AM SO NOT GOOD AT SHIT-TALKING!
RARRRGGHHH!

[Lex Diamonds]

Hey... spitting on my face? Now that's just cruel. You took it too far. :(

[na§tee]

okay. i admit, that was a bit harsh.

about about dribbling.. a light dribble?

[Planetary]

Hey... spitting on my face? Now that's just cruel. You took it too far. :(

unless this were a german porn shoot.

otherwise i agree

[paul jones]

how do I sign up and get in and all that?

[Lex Diamonds]

how do I sign up and get in and all that?
Sign up for a Yahoo account and then you're pretty much in. You just need the league number and password which are earlier on in the thread.

[paul jones]

cheers,I'm in now(y)

gonna go look at some wankers to put in the team

[burbboi]

I've got an inside source on Pele, so you're all FUCKED

[icy manipulator]

I got Louis and Craig up front. (y)

And that's all the tips I'm giving.
dirty dirty liverpool. well at least you dont have crouch, or you best not

[Lex Diamonds]

.

[icy manipulator]

is everyone choosing lots of players from one team or spreading it all over the field? i've only used players from 4 teams

[na§tee]

my boyfriend started to show a clear liverpool bias, but i managed to talk him out of some people.

[Drederick Tatum]

I only use players from Sheffield United.

not true! i didn't want the pringle-eating fool anyway! pringles, schmingles!
i tells ya, we haven't gone for the obvious in most cases, even though you all think i've gone for the most famous people. you'll be pleasantly surprised!

[Tompz]

Good lord what a glorious team ive picked. Perfectly balanced. Rough yet gentle. im getting quit excited now.

[Planetary]

Why don't you just answer the question and spare me the trouble of scanning the first page?

because i dont know off the top of my head and id have to scan the first page. and why should i do it?

[Lex Diamonds]

because i dont know off the top of my head and id have to scan the first page. and why should i do it?
I did it, ballsbreath, because I'm nice and helpful and everybody's friend.

[Tompz]

because i dont know off the top of my head and id have to scan the first page. and why should i do it?

Because you are less busy than me. I got 18 girlfriends.

[Planetary]

its not my fault your dad never used a condom.

[Lex Diamonds]

ZING!

[Tompz]

its not my fault your dad never used a condom.

Still my girlfriends.

[Planetary]

Still my girlfriends.

lol whatever inbred boy

[Drederick Tatum]

not true! i didn't want the pringle-eating fool anyway!


hahaha, Totti Totti!

[ToucanSpam]

PETER CROUCH

[Lyman Zerga]

PETER CROUCH


thanks thats all i wanted to hear


and now toucie my crouchie

[Lex Diamonds]

He's big! He's red! His feet stick out the bed!

CROUCHY!

CROUCHY!

[Drederick Tatum]

He's ugly! He's tall! He can't head the ball!

[Lyman Zerga]

how rudish of you

[ToucanSpam]

He's ugly! He's tall! He can't head the ball!
You must have missed the England/Trinidad game at the 2006 World Cup.

[ToucanSpam]

how Ruudish of you
;)

[Drederick Tatum]

You must have missed the England/Trinidad game at the 2006 World Cup.

don't talk to me about football.

[synch]

I'm in.

[icy manipulator]

oh yeah, Reina's looking good to make me some sweet points this game. seems i wasn't the only one that realised Shevchenko was fucking cheap:mad:

[icy manipulator]

woohoo looks like i have more bias towards any one team than anyone else! :cool:

[Planetary]

andy johnson scores. boo ya.

[Tompz]

when the hell do we get to see the squads on yahoo? today?

[icy manipulator]

go to last week when you click on another player. fyi, toucan chose the worse team :p

[Drederick Tatum]

I dunno man, I assume you're Patimir CFC. your dependence on Chelsea players could get you burnt, especially when J Cole is out, neither Ballack and Essien are 100% sure to play, Gallas is unhappy and wants to leave and then depending on what formation Mourinho plays, your strikeforce might play a combined total of only 90 minutes.

however, they haven't actually played yet so you could turn out to be a fantasy football genius. good luck.

yeah well i'm coming last atm. chelsea better fucking hose man city, otherwise i'm fucked :(

[Drederick Tatum]

man, Fulham are getting smoked. 19 minutes gone and 4 goals down against dirty Man Utd.

[Lex Diamonds]

YEAH SUCK IT!

WE BRINGING IT HOME AGAIN BITCHES!


+ a goal for one of my strikers within 15 minutes :cool:

[Tompz]

Good lord what a glorious team ive picked. Perfectly balanced. Rough yet gentle. im getting quit excited now.

Everyhings workin out just fine it seems...Im up by 2,5 p over the Saucers, grabbing the first spot. Diouf and Vassel up front is where it's at.

Might as well hand over the trophy now. I've got plenty of Cristal to fill it.

(y)

[icy manipulator]

7 of my players have yet to be tallied, we'll see how things pan out

[Lex Diamonds]

Goal + an assist for Louis Saha. Thank you very much. (y)

[GetYourWarOn]

bahhh. up until 3 days ago i had christian ronaldo on my squad. i sold him off to free up salary so i could sign terry






edit: terry scored today... lol @ my complaining.

[GetYourWarOn]

btw, thanks for setting up this league drederick. it's a good time. (y) (y)

[na§tee]

10 out of 15! fuckpants!

10 out of 15! fuckpants!
better than 12th. at least i'm not coming last anymore :D

[Lex Diamonds]

better than 12th. at least i'm not coming last anymore :D

Yeah, well... I'm 11th so ner!

[na§tee]

oooh, i've moved up to 8th! bonus!

[burbboi]

I'm in the hunt baby! A respectable 6th place out of the gates. (y)

[ToucanSpam]

I'm a respectable.........oh, what is that?

[thegoodmrbrodie!]

gah. i went down from second to tenth today. toss.

[icy manipulator]

I'm a respectable.........oh, what is that?
you got lucky and you know this. half your team didn't even play!

[Freebasser]

I'm not sure Rooney will be picking up quite so many points over the next 3 matches.

[ToucanSpam]

I'm not sure Rooney will be picking up quite so many points over the next 3 matches.
Me neither, but I'm going to keep him around in case he decides to continue.


All I know is I feel like in my second season I can compete decently with the big boys.

[Lyman Zerga]

I'm in the hunt baby! A respectable 6th place out of the gates. (y)


you really need to listen to get it on the floor - dmx while looking at your avie

cause thats what ive been doing for the last few hours

[synch]

Oh if only lamps hadn't wandered offside... an extra goal and an assist would have been mine... mine!

I'm not sure Rooney will be picking up quite so many points over the next 3 matches.
:D

[ToucanSpam]

HEY.


You never know.

[synch]

Do your homework mate :)

[na§tee]

slow and steady wins the race!

[icy manipulator]

Oh if only lamps hadn't wandered offside... an extra goal and an assist would have been mine... mine!


:D


how the hell did shev not get a single point is what i wanna know! :mad:

[Drederick Tatum]

these rankings will change. the second game of week 1 has yet to be played. Berbatov and Shevchenko to score a hat trick each...hopefully.

[icy manipulator]

ah, so week 1's team includes the games on tuesday and what not? damn

[na§tee]

without consultation with teh boyfriend, i got rid of pennant and replaced him with someone altogether more, uh.. talented. i hope he agrees or i'm going to be told off tonight!

i want to sell chimbonda too but he was really adamant at him continuing but he earned a BIG FAT ZERO (still, not as bad as pennant's MINUS point five of a point - and he cost about 10 bucks or whatever!) so i'm keen for him to go.

next week, we'll see!

[Planetary]

who am i second behind at the moment? dont say toucan please.

[na§tee]

slazinger II.

who is that?

i'm finding it hard to figure out who is who because some usernames don't match the ones on here.

[Planetary]

i think it's toucan. :/

[na§tee]

all you rooney-loving fanboys will suffer for the next couple-a games. oh yes.

[Planetary]

i'm pretty sure rooney will pay off for them quite well. but nevermind.

[icy manipulator]

yeah it's toucan, i cant beleive it either. he just got lucky

[Freebasser]

For those with Carragher - he's out for at least two weeks with an ankle injury.

Love, me.

[Lex Diamonds]

For those with Carragher - he's out for at least two weeks with an ankle injury.

Love, me.
FUCK CUNT SHIT TWAT BALLS

[na§tee]

wooh! thanks for that, freebasser. i'll take note.

padster; can't you just sell him? is selling a bad thing to do? i'm just getting rid of some of my bad players. carragher will be the 3rd when i do him. what's the 411 with this shiznit?

[Lex Diamonds]

I dunno man I just sold him but I guess it'll have some kind of negative effect... otherwise everyone could just buy the best players straight after they've played well in a match.

Fuck knows mate, Carragher was just one of my best players. :(

[Freebasser]

The main problem with selling good players is that you sell them for the price you bought them, and if they increase in value, you might not be able to buy them back.

Like I heard 2 days ago that Gabriel Heinze had been ruled out for 2 weeks to allow him to recover from the world cup, but because he was injured all last season his value was quite low when I bought him and if I sell him now, when he comes back from injury they might increase his value and I wouldn't be able to buy him back because I would only have the money I'd spent on him in the first place.

The trouble is that now you only ever have 100 million to spend at max when you used to be able to sell players for their current value in order to make more money :/

[na§tee]

The trouble is that now you only ever have 100 million to spend at max when you used to be able to sell players for their current value in order to make more money :/
this was what i was wondering.
meh; that sounds crap. surely we should be rewarded if we show managerial skills with more money to spend?
i got rid of carragher anyway. that's it. i've made three changes and i'm sticking to it.

[Freebasser]

Meh, Yahoo has been slowly fucking itself up over the last few years, by doing things like implementing the 100 mil transfer cap, not tallying points for over a week, forgetting to tally points for entire matches and awarding goals to the wrong people.

On the plus side, the 100 mil cap means you're always guaranteed to be able to buy players - two seasons ago I made something like 25 million to add onto my starting 100 and then the players I bought with it slowly went shit and I ended up with about 90 million to spend :/

[na§tee]

i think i need to work out who everyone is now so i can make fun of everyone who is getting beaten by a girl (well, half a girl) (uh, we're a partnership, i'm not some sorta hermaphrodite!)

hrmph.
i made three changes. 2 defenders, one midfield. how about everyone else?

[ToucanSpam]

Changed my whole team.

[Drederick Tatum]

^yeah, that was the right thing to do. I was checking your's out and Rooney's production kind of put that team in a flattering light.

anyway, Head vs Chest flies from 2nd last to 2nd. exxxxcellent.

[na§tee]

anyway, Head vs Chest flies from 2nd last to 2nd. exxxxcellent.
i don't get it.
was it my team that i changed around that scored me the points that have been put on today? it looks like it.
i thought last week's team would have lasted for, uh, a week, and my "week 2" team would start on saturday. i'm sorta miffed.
also - can't some teams play more than once a week and therefore earn you a cheeky few more points?
someone explain! :(

[Drederick Tatum]

nah, go back to week 1. those are the players that will have scored you the points. break out the XP calculator and add their scores up and you should get your current score. your current team will play this weekend's games.

yeah teams can play more than once a week and it's up to you to recognise who those teams are and pick your team accordingly. Henry and Fabregas only played once last week but I rate them highly enough to overlook that and pick them.

[na§tee]

thanks, dee.
so my 'week 1' team will play from last saturday to friday, and earn me points for those 6 days.
and some teams play more than one game. i realised it would have to be up to me - actually, the boyfriend was narky about it.
hmm. i wonder who is playing more than the one next week?
this shit involves much more work than i originally thought! i think my changes were good though. how many did you change, dred?

[Drederick Tatum]

oh, I definitely changed a few spots. Seven to be precise.

It definitely requires some work. you can't just pick a team and see how they go for the season. weekly checks is the least you should be doing. I read the sports news each day anyway and react accordingly.

[na§tee]

so, since in my week 1 team i have players in chelsea and portsmouth, i should expect more points to be added tonight? they are playing this evening.

i am reading the telegraph's fantasy football spread (i read the telegraph as part of my job, fyi, not a ususal subscriber!) and they have a "match facts" page for week 1 which is proving very useful. they also have suspension news.

for interest, alan hansen "the world's greatest football pundit's" fantasy team is:
cech
eboue - brown - terry - heinze
lennon - lampard - gerrard - nolan
saha - bellamy

[na§tee]

okay, correct me if i'm wrong, but according to the fixtures every team is only playing once from saturday 26 august thru to the next saturday. there are only games on saturday, sunday and monday. and everyone plays once.

so was last week just a one-off (some teams playing more than one game) or do some teams get to play another game based on their performance?

help!

every team except for liverpool and arsenal are playing today or yesterday, those 2 arent coz they're playing in Champions league qualifiers today. well there's 38 games that each team plays and to fit in all those games sometimes they'll play twice in a week. they usually just play one game a week tho

randomly? Cech has had surgery on both(?) shoulders recently and can't lift his arms higher than horizontal.

Sorry, I'm just filled with hope and excitement about the new season due to United's good show of form during the first couple of games. (y)

[Drederick Tatum]

hahaha, Chelsea. I don't give a fuck how they do as long as Shevchenko scores.

Arjen Robben suffered a calf injury in the warm-up. ahahahaha

The key words in that sentence were "last season" ;)

[Drederick Tatum]

errr, what?

[synch]

Last season Cudicini had a game or two without any real warning so I took Cech out and put van der Sar in.

What I'm saying is that whether he's injured or not Mourinho gives him the odd game.

[Drederick Tatum]

and?...the fact is that he's playing cause Cech is injured...I'm not sure what we're discussing here.

Liverpool behind again. Zamora scores for West Ham off a Reo-Coker pass. fortunately I've already removed Reo-Coker from my team so there's no danger of getting points for that.

[na§tee]

WWOOOHH AGGER! CROUCH!
i told my boyfriend it was worth hanging on to crouch! YES!

[Lex Diamonds]

When do they update the points again? I should be winning by miles man.

[Drederick Tatum]

and why is that?

you actually have a pretty decent looking team. some of the others are flying by the seat of their pants, relying on a couple of players to get them points. you did a nice job with your midfield and forwards.

[na§tee]

When do they update the points again? I should be winning by miles man.
how so? you don't have any liverpool players. *looks* well, you have zamora but he's the only person who's gonna be getting you points on this game. i CHALLENGE THEE!

[synch]

and?...the fact is that he's playing cause Cech is injured...I'm not sure what we're discussing here.
I was making an unrelated comment about my goalie choice for last season and you figured I thought Cudicini being in the team was Mourinho being flakey :)

[Lex Diamonds]

how so? you don't have any liverpool players. *looks* well, you have zamora but he's the only person who's gonna be getting you points on this game. i CHALLENGE THEE!
So what? Saha and Ronaldo will score today. So will Shevchenko, and Zamora will probably get another goal or an assist. The rest of my team aren't bad either. I can see Ljungberg scoring against City. (y)

Rilly tho, when do they update the points?

[na§tee]

well, i was actually referring to the fact that you were assuming you would be "miles ahead man" because of this one game. but if you mean you will be winning after all of today's games, then fine, that's a perfectly reasonable comment to make. just not after this game... man.

[Lex Diamonds]

[na§tee]

zamora FOUL! heehee

[Lex Diamonds]

Hmm Saha picks up an assist. I wish he or Ronaldo would hurry up and score.

Whoever's got Giggs in their team is getting a few points off this game. He's looking good this season. (y)

[Drederick Tatum]

Giggs is like Peter Pan.

[GetYourWarOn]

some of the others are flying by the seat of their pants


that would be me.:cool: :cool:

of course it would be nice if the players who were getting me points were the ones to whom i paid outrageous amounts of fake money. cough*henry*cough

fuck yeah, jumped from 12th to 6th. and i'm beating both other pat's so double fuck yeah!!

and it looks like i got the highest points for the week so far!!!

I haven't signed up, but you can pretend I'm winning the whole league just to make yourselves feel better if you'd like.

[burbboi]

I'm chomping choda on the ass-end of this fantasy pool. Bah!

[Drederick Tatum]

whoa. West Ham just signed Tevez and Mascherano.....Tevez looks like he moonlights as a pitbull wrestler.

[Freebasser]

Word on the street is that West Ham might be the next club to be bought by a billionaire, and Tevez and Mascherano are being bought to sweeten the deal.

[Drederick Tatum]

well, West Ham did buy them off some company called Media Sports Investments, who apparently were looking to buy the club last summer.

[Freebasser]

Methinks I doth smelleths a rat...ths

*wipes spit off monitor*

[Drederick Tatum]

yeah I've been trying to work out the benefits the company would get if they now bought the club. they'd be funding their own takeover bid with the money they just got from the club?

[Drederick Tatum]

now it's Ashley Cole to Chelsea for Gallas and 5 million quid. hopefully Wegner can get Gallas to consider the move a permanent one. he's an awesome replacement for Sol Campbell. Toure and Gallas at the back looks as good as any Premiership DC pairing. good to see Arsenal getting some good players to compete with the annual Chelsea spend-up. Reyes for Baptista and signing Rosicky keep them up there in terms of talent.

[synch]

Crap. I rate Gallas more highly than Ashley Cole, although Chelsea needs someone with Cole's specific skills.

Still not too thrilled but hey, Gallas wanted to leave.

[icy manipulator]

so is gallas out on loan like crespo or is he gone for good?

[synch]

Not too sure about Gallas but either way I doubt either of them will ever wear a Chelsea kit again.

I'm still hoping to see Crespo back with us (Parma) some day though.

[Freebasser]

LONDON (AFP) - European football chiefs have expressed their concern over the shadowy transfer deal that saw Argentinian stars Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez join English outfit West Ham.

A swirl of intrigue has surrounded Mascherano and Tevez' shock move to Upton Park, with speculation raging that the South American duo are merely being placed in the shop window before being sold to a bigger club next year.

Though the deal has been described as "permanent" by West Ham, no other details about the transfer from Brazilian club Corinthians have been divulged.

Reports have said the two players would have been valued at between 40-60 million pounds in an open transfer market -- money that West Ham plainly does not have.

The deal is believed to be part of a takeover bid of the Hammers by British-born Iranian businessman Kia Joorabchian, whose company Media Sports Investment (MSI) owned the two players.

Yet the lack of transparency surrounding the deal has has caused concern at European football's governing body UEFA.

"This is certainly a strange deal and it is worrisome because it is part of this evolution of football in which money always plays an increasing role and more traditional values such as loyalty or regional roots or liking for a club seem to be very old fashioned," a UEFA spokesman said.

"We feel the same as the supporters. Football is more than a business. It is something completely different, it involves loyalties, emotions, fidelity. "These are two exciting players but, at the same time, this was the jersey of Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst - people who spent their lives at the club. "Maybe these players will be at West Ham 10 years from now. If so, that is great. But, at the same time, one cannot help but have some doubts."

Sources close to Joorabchian meanwhile denied that Tevez and Mascherano would be sold on to a bigger club next year.

"It is preposterous to say they have just come here to be put in the shop window," a source close to Joorabchian was quoted by the Press Association news agency as saying.

"There are no plans at all for them to move. This is the best place for them to be and show their talent to the full extent. It is good for West Ham.

"They are obviously not going to play in a team that is struggling against relegation but, if it all goes well, they will stay at West Ham."

West Ham confirmed in a statement to the London Stock Exchange Friday that they had held talks with Joorabchian and MSI over a potential takeover bid.

Joorabchian has been repeatedly linked to various Russian tycoons, including Chelsea's billionaire backer Roman Abramovich. Joorabchian has denied any link to Abramovich.

!

[Drederick Tatum]

they sell the players to West Ham on the cheap, then they buy the club and when they've torn up the Premiership for a season, sell them on for big moneys.

[Freebasser]

The news today is that several bigger clubs including Manchester United (for definite) and Chelsea, Arsenal, Portsmouth, Sevilla, Roma (rumoured) refused offers from MSI for either big bucks transfers or season long loans because they thought the deals were too dodgy.

Not surprising really, when they knew that they wouldn't actually own the players.

[Lex Diamonds]

Peter Crouch is a gangly clown. I don't get why he scores so many goals. It's one of the great mysteries of the Earth.

[Freebasser]

Because the majority of his goals are just the ball accidentally hitting his head when he's up in the air.

[na§tee]

i don't care if he scores goals by magically farting them or sprinkling the ball with fairy dust. i just care that i wanted him and he was working for me.

he replaced crouch with andy cole and drogba with some rossi newcastle guy.

i don't want an "and ranald" part of my team anymore :( :mad: :( mean, i know.

[Freebasser]

Erm, 'some Rossi newcastle guy' is Giuseppe Rossi - Manchester United's rising star, and a fucking excellent player to boot. Newcastle are lucky to have him on loan.

[Lex Diamonds]

Get rid of Cole, he's going to score fuck all this season. But keep Guiseppe Rossi, he's on loan from Man U and he's rapidly becoming a mature yet tricky skilful player. (y)

but i know that here, at least, i can read statistics and i can read comment and i was sorta finding my feet. it appears that the rossi change is good.. so i guess we can keep it but i just wish he had told me first.

hmm. i am getting pissed off for no reason, i'll stop it now.
i have a thumping head cold and i'm at work and i have to go home and clean my flat for a visitor coming and :o i'm sorry i'm grumpy.

ooh, on week 3 i have howard, too.

can someone please explain what week we're playing in? getting points for etc. is it week 3? how come week 4 and 5 are up.. and no players have values?

[Drederick Tatum]

in week 3(and 4?) there were no games due to internationals.

[na§tee]

hmm. i know that, but what's the point in changing your team and having zero points for each of those weeks? i made changes that i thought were going to earn me points, but then ranald hopped in and his changes have stuck for weeks four and five. it's confusing. so we're playing on week 5, then?
