C'mon guys! Only five days to go until our lives once again have purpose and meaning. Get your tenner out and register.

@ RJ - You should find 'AC PiB' pending at sometime in the near future ...

AC. PIB is now in the league

Thank f*ck! I'm so scared to keep my teams name under wraps it's not been published in open forum so far. Phew!

Oh come on, tell us

FuCking Gorgeous?
A Very Nice Team?

I'll keep guessing badly then

Let's just say I had a 'moment' and went with a German theme.

If I had a tenner, I'd spend it on something else entirely.

fags or booze? or both?

Erm................Both I think!

I had some bizarre idea that I might be enjoying a 'fantasy' moment in the sun. It appears I'm wrong ...

1 Detonation Boulevard FC (RicheyJames) 39pts
2 AC. PIB (pain it black) 39pts
3 Craig's Barmy Army (Yoda) 38pts
4 Chris's Critters (mr chris) 34pts
5 gunners glory (ali p) 33pts
6 FC FGB 1970 (Johnny M) 25pts

So I'm 6th. Out of 6. Oh dear ...

It's early doors/a marathon not a sprint/you can't win a league in August/it's a game of two halves/you don't want to be bottom at Christmas/*delete as applicable

It's all pretty close and tense stuff, and I have officially become a fantasy-league junkie. Thank you for ruining my life, you lot!

Johnny's team will win - at the end.

You complete and utter bastard!

I look forward to my weekly ritual humiliation in open forum from now until the end of May.

Perhaps if I actually paid attention to my team selection, I wouldn't be picking a player week in week out who was injured pre-season and hasn't kicked a ball in anger during the new campaign ...

Yes, I think that would work!

Time for an update, no real reason

1 AC. PIB 437
2 Chris's Critters 420
3 gunners glory 374
4 Craig's Barmy Army 350
5 Detonation Boulevard FC 342
6 FC FGB 1970 288

Yep that’s right; the gap is indeed 149 points

Thanks. I don't even bother to look at the website anymore.

But proof, if it was ever needed, that if you cryptically name your team after a girl ... they will then play like a bunch of girls.

So all the standard cliches (in an "O'Leary" accent) that " ...my players have given me and the club 100% effort and 100% committment and I couldn't ask for more than that ...", "... the fans have been let down but they've been terrific all season with their support, week in, week out ...", "... no? I didn't see the 'hate' banners on saturday ..." and " ... with some money available in the summer we can start rebuilding for next season and take this club to the heights it rightfully and truly belongs ..."

Or some other such cliched football nonsense-speak.

Don't worry Johnny, everyone knows you're a massive club, just a bit of a sleeping giant.

Maybe for now though you should focus on the Watney Cup.

Yes, but you can probably undertsand why I thought, based on other threads, that I wasn't naming the team after a girl.

I daren't ask what FGB actually stands for. I mean, I can imagine a good man possibilities, but...

Actually, something quite logical and obvious for all of you who do The Times cryptic cross-word puzzle.

Thank fuck you directed her wrath away from me. With comments like that Ravey ... I suggest rennen. Really. And fast. Or even really fast.

let's just hope that Ravey runs faster than your poor team players, Johnny.

Easily my best typo ever! Where did the 'y' at the end of 'many' disappear to? Oh God, this just sounds like a grim excuse, dunnit?

Jess, hi, err, fcuk.......meep meep, piaooooooow.

You did get a pat on the back and a kiss and a hug at various times tonight. Take that as a positive.

Cool Ravey Davey.

Johnny M wrote:You did get a pat on the back and a kiss and a hug at various times tonight.

Blimey, virtual reassurance. Whatever next!

And back on track (it's about time), maybe if your players stopped swan-diving all the time you'd get more points.

(assuming you've got RVN and Ronaldo in there too )



EDIT - it doesn't surprise me in the slightest to find Ez at the top of the table. Class will out, and all that.

Could be. My first guess was Fcuking Gorgeous Berliner.
