Hadn't really thought about doing one TBH. Never done one before.Hurry up with what?
Getting your fantasy footie team in, d'oh.
How long does it take to register and get set up? Not got a lot of time this week.
So you don't fancy a beer tomorrow, just down the road in urm Brighton0 -
Took me about an hour or so to select the team. The rest is just a form filling exercise - 10 mins.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

Will see what I can do. Bound to be crap at it."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

I'll load a team up by the weekend, I usually enter the league at work every year. It's just bit of a lark Stevo, no need to take it seriously...you'll go insane if you do as it really is bit of a lottery.0

I'm going to try and get a team into this on Thursday / Friday hopefully. Should be a good bit of banter. Does it require a lot of on going tinkering?Cannondale caad7 ultegra

I was going to ask that as well. Don't you need to study form and check injuries etc every week at least? How much time do people usually spend on it once it's started?I'm going to try and get a team into this on Thursday / Friday hopefully. Should be a good bit of banter.

You can spend as little or as much time as you like. I usually sort mine out in a few mins over a cuppa on a Saturday morning but I think some people wade through stats and probably make their own spreadsheets!0

Cherries sign Lee Tomlin. I am told by a mate from up that way that Tomlin has fitness issues and is a sulky sod who can be a bit disruptive. Good business for Boro. Goodness only knows why Howe signed him.Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.0

I did for Football Manager. That's before I discovered Bike Radar and the toots came along. Dunno how many times I was up till 2am before a day's work. 3 years of the addiction took a lot of weaning off.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
I see. Wondered why you were so keen for me to join. You're more competitive than I thoughtYou can spend as little or as much time as you like.

Being a Chelski fan you ll just need a National Express timetable, I m sure you will see enough buses in Wales, gotta get up them hills somehow Stevo.0 -
Tim, welcome back. I thought you'd reappear much sooner after Arsenal won the treble before the season even kicked offOnly kiddin. May have to do this on Friday night after I get back from Wales.

BTW congratulations to Arsenal who appeared to have been taking bus parking lessons based on last Sundays performance "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Shouldn't that be quadruple winners? They forgot the FA Cup.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

OK, you keep your Community Shield and we'll keep the league title, that's fine by me.

Stop Bitchin' and pick a FF team.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Made a couple of changes to my FF team (busy day at work today!) I think my early season enthusiasm will quickly die away so need to make the most of it!www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0

Have Arsenal considered a name change for Jack Wilshire?? Maybe they could rename him Owen Hargreaves 2nd!!
I have never ever known a player so injury prone..or is it the other reason … because he has such limited talent his tackling is ALL OR NOTHING even in training!! I personally opt for option 2…I think he is vastly over rated and relies on a very physical style of play to make his mark…Hargreaves on the other hand was the original Mr Porcelain, closely followed by Wilshire, them Micheal Owen.
Its all well and good teaching young players to be physically aggressive but at the cost of your career? Maybe if he had foresight he might see he won't be playing many more seasons if he continues to get injured so much…especially when most of them come in training!!!0 -

Some one needs to keep the Arsenal Treatment room going now Abou Diaby has gone. As for Wiltshire being over rated! I don't think England have a better ball carrying midfielder Box to Box , when he's Fit.
Fair enough he is Rash and his timing in the tackle is atrocious, maybe holds the ball too long and draws the foul, but still the only England player I see running with the ball in the middle.0 -
I remember watching a programme on Manchester United and when Tommy Docherty was their manager he was having an affair with the physio's wife so he promoted him to the reserve team coach so he would have to travel away a lot and he knew when he'd be out! maybe something similar is happening at Arsenal, keep the physio busy so his wife can play!www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0

Think you need to edit that Chris. was he having an affair with the Physio or the Physio's wife?0 -

Who's up Mrs.Brown? Who's up Mrs.Brown? Tommy, Tommy Docherty0 -
Ah, Jack Wheelchair as he's also known. Must be maddingly frustrating for the guy.
Team is entered. Well provisional anyway, no doubt a spot of tinkering will be done before ko.0 -

Hardly a ringing endorsement though is it Tim. It basically makes him this generations Kieron dyer? Sure he's a better passer but they're both made of glass.Cannondale caad7 ultegra

Well on the eve of a new season I'd like to wish you all, whoever you may support, the best of luck, but I can't! I hope you all trail in our wake again and you all whine like **** as you did last season. Come on you Blues.0
