Links schminks.

Use the forum navigation system that Hero pays £300k p/a for.

Does anyone actually use the homepage links?

Yes yes and yes.

Hero does not pay 300k he gets all the donation money and uses it on meet ups with people.

Hero is an internet millionaire though, so the 300k he spends is a drop in the ocean compared to the revenue from this site. Which reminds me, have you paid your annual fee yet Viva? £1,349.99 + VAT.

Yeah and Afro has managed back to back league titles on the Internet don't mean nothing in real life.

Haha no I haven't, I have a feeling I'll have to make out the cheque to you.

Is it OK for grown up men like us to be playing fantasy games where we pretend to be football managers. Somewhere in the back of everyone's mind they know it's not right.

It's only the same as playing FM on the PC though really except this is harder as you're against real people (though a Speak & Spell rivals Cherries on tactics plus it can actually spell).

I hate the international break. Would rather internationals were played every summer and possibly a winter break.

Good point Hero, didn't look at it that way.

On the flip side, we're all massive nerds living secret fantasy lives via the internet.

Tactics sent, good luck my beloved

Tactics sent to Sodhat as I'm playing Polly

*being defeated by Olly

This is just merely a stepping stone before I enter the football league as a manager. This ain't no pretend Poopie for me

Good luck to you too 

Anyone want two England v Montenegro tickets for tomorrow night? £65 per ticket but can negotiate price for the pair as will go to waste otherwise. I would have them but I'm going to see Jason Manford in Brighton tomorrow!

do i have to hand in tactics tonight? If so, to who?

Yes and Olly

ok thanks...is it cup or league?

There is no cup. Thanks for paying attention

my mind has been elsewhere past couple of days

i will get tactics sent to olly in a minute.

sent

Marky why did you pay £130 for 2 England tickets?

Saved the money that he would've spent being disappointed by FIFA and put it towards being disappointed by England

Morning sheep please.

Tactics will go uo when im home from school. I may or may not have overslept quite badly

£130 is far too much money for two people to watch England draw 1-1 at home to Montenegro. You could buy FIFA 14, two crates of beer, order a kebab in, get pringles and mars bars, and have a much better night for two.

Azzy Mahmood wrote:Marky why did you pay £130 for 2 England tickets?

I didn't, my mate did. Now he's trying to sell them as he's going to a Miles Kane gig in Brixton instead. Already as low as £90 for the pair!

In theory I could take them...

If you gave them to me for free I'd turn them down, getting over to West London for a game England aren't going to win is pointless. Donate them to a charity on Twitter and they can give them away in a competition

Good to see CF got tactics in, that PSC side is going to be banging!

Go on...

On a side note, Jack Wilshere to score first at 14/1 seems nailed on after the week he's had.

Well I'm free tonight and I think I have a friend who'd want to go along.

Equally, do I want to spend all that money when I could go and watch it in the pub with a beer?

Plus I'm at work, I can't collect them.

I could get them to London Bridge, for a small fee. Only if you're 100% having them mind.

London Bridge is falling down Marky, be careful.

Question of the day for everyone:

Top five striker partnerships in this league excluding your own?

I best not Marky. I need to save some money before I go on holiday and frankly it's a ballache to get to and from Wembley on any match day.

Hero wrote:Question of the day for everyone:

So basically, name half the league

Also subjective, as not all sides play 2 strikers...

My top 3 would be: Neymar+Streller, Benteke+Aubameyang, Remy+Giroud.

Hero wrote:Question of the day for everyone:

Excluding my own...
 
1. Drogba and Villa
2. Benteke and Aubameyang
3. Remy and Giroud
4. Neymar and Strellar (99% Neymar there mind)
5. Mandzukic and Riviere

Azzy Mahmood wrote:Neymar+Streller, .

Agree 100% with that and then Remy & Giroud and Mandzukic & Riviere

Just as well this league is judged on the whole team, not just the strikers

Di Natale and Berbatov get a shout from me.

Quality players and Berbs could lay goals on for Di Natale all day.

Berbatov and Benteke > Berbatov and Di Natale, then Azzy sold Benteke.

I prefer the mesh of Di Natale/Berbatov than I do Benteke and Berbatov. Personal opinion maybe, but I see Benteke better as a lone forward.

I'd have to agree with soddy on Benteke, he is better as a lone striker. I don't think he'd fit at Arsenal as he likes to be the guy doing the work himself, rather than just tapping in chances like Giroud.

Only the second time I've used di Natale this season too

Gary Linekar slating the FA commission put up by Greg Dyke. Called them beaurocrats (i cant spell it). Cos Dario Gradi, Ritchie Humphreys, Danny Mills and Glenn Hoddle fit that mould. Negativity for negative sake. Didnt see him putting himself forward the naughty naughty boy

Btw, did you guys see this?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24481016

Serie A has been ace this season, I don't want it to become like the Bundesliga was 5-6 years ago

Lineker seems to be getting ever farther up his own bum whenever I hear him. He certainly rates his own opinions.

Why can't I say @nus? It's not that offensive, it's a scientific term!

I don't want to have to type bumhole every time.

YOU BLOCKED SPHINCT3R AS WELL?

BUREAUCRACY GONE MAD

We don't want to offend Bull do we soddy? Better safe than sorry.

Plus, it stops me telling you all my s3x stories from uni

If they all involve your bumhole I don't want to hear them
