Right, new page. The previous line of conversation has stopped.

Anyone who is unhappy with the way the league is run, or the site is modded, now is your chance to leave.

by Marky Tue 29 Oct 2013, 12:59 pm

Have posted an End of Season Awards page and assumed,none of the runners object. One less thing for them to do mind.

by **Afro** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:00 pm

No objection from me clap

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:02 pm

Are we going to do the TP Llimit idea I suggested or similar?

by **Afro** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:04 pm

To be honest, it didn't really get discussed that much so it is impossible to tell the consensus opinion

by **Afro** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:05 pm

What would people prefer, results today but no live text, or results with live text tomorrow?

by **Hero** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:06 pm

To echo Afros comments, it stops here. Azzy has requested to have his account deleted, I've banned it for the time being and if you're reading this Azzy I'd advise as someone who since you joined I've enjoyed chatting with to take that time to reflect on what's happened and once you've simmered let me know if either you wish the account to be reinstated or removed completely.
If anyone else wishes to test if I can be 606v1 level of authority then please be my guest, I'll happily today start dishing out bans if it continues.

Now let's play nice pretend football managing.

by Holymiky Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:09 pm

I am happy to vote on the awards but is it ok for me to do so? I mean I want to but if I have arrived in the league too late that is okay I don't mind.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:12 pm

I dont mind on results as im playing for nothing.
Wouldnt it make sense to do the results for the rearranged matches now + teams not playing for the league title. Then tomorrow Live Text Results on teams playing for the league title.
Splits the work load & less work on live text for fewer match (as id imagine live text takes a bit of work to do).

Agreed, live text solely for teams with something to play for

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:16 pm

Not a bad idea ZZZ, like him I'm not too fussed as you can probably tell by my tactics this week lol

by **Afro** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:19 pm

It's a good idea, although personally I don't really care about live text and would be happy just to get the Southampton v Ballbag result

by Marky Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:22 pm

Results and feedback today for me. Forget live text as I'd rather just know all results.

by Holymiky Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:22 pm

I don't mind either way.

lol yeah I noticed that. Felt a bit gutted as Id written some out. tbh I wrote more than what I planned.

Who's on TV tonight, Arsenal v Chelsea yeah?
Lucky Olly, you wouldnt have to watch Norwich get spanked.....oh wait you do on a weekly basis muhahaha
(Im aware thats rich coming from me considering our current form) muhahahahaha

I'll find a stream for the Utd-Norwich game, sure to be one out there for a Utd game

Haha you get used to it after while, the feeling of hope that this might just be your time to turn it around before kick off, only for it to be swiftly taken away within the first 15 minutes and reality hits. The hope kills me

by **Afro** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:36 pm

Marky wrote:Results and feedback today for me. Forget live text as I'd rather just know all results.

So at the moment, results and feedback only today for all games except Lille v Ajax and Fool Em v Corinthians?

Mind you, I don't think all the votes are in

by **Hero** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:38 pm

I'm happy just for results unless the guys who do the live text are happy to put the effort in that it requires.

by Holymiky Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:42 pm

I wonder if my last 2 games of the season will see me move off the bottom of the table.

Who do you use for a stream? Front Row doesnt seem to be working lately.
Oh mate, I had the lads round on saturday for Soccer Sat + Classico & UFC. When we were losing I was well depressed (even tho my bets looks good), just said to them im not used to it & asked them how to cope as one was an Arsenal fan & 2 are Wolves fans lol.
Arsenal fan just said accept early on you wont win a trophy.....I already have, well major one as I think Moyes will go for the Carling Cup.

by **Hero** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:52 pm

Just so you're aware the site doesn't allow conversation regarding illegal streaming.

Thank you.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 1:53 pm

I'll PM you if I find one ZZZ Ok!

I'm hoping we just give it a go tonight, hoping Redmond starts. But the inevitable 2-0 loss is just staring me in the face

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 29 Oct 2013, 2:07 pm

OK Hero, didnt realise that.

Cheer Olly, Ill do the same if I find one.
Im hoping Zaha starts. Adnan should & id like Chicharito too as well.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 2:10 pm

I reckon we'll line up like this

Bunn (if fit)
Whittaker---Bennett---Bassong---Garrido
Redmond----Johnson---Howson---Pilkington
-----------------Hoolahan-----------------
-----------------Elmander------------------

Really don't want Elmander to start up top by himself but I see it happening tonight. Don't expect Fer to play tbh, or Ruddy

by **Afro** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 2:16 pm

RIght, Nando and Soddy's votes still outstanding..... Otherwise results are all but ready

by **Afro** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 2:30 pm

When do we tell Viva the new page has been up for an hour and a half

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 29 Oct 2013, 2:43 pm

Elmander or Wolfwikie, neither can score Laugh

Watch them score tonight lol.

Id like to see us line up like:

Rafael----Smalling----Jones----Fabio
Fellaini----Clevz
Zaha----Shinji----Adnan
Chicharito

Give Carras the night off. But I doubt we will line up like that.

by sodhat Tue 29 Oct 2013, 2:44 pm

Before results go up - and I assure you I don't know what they are at the time of writing - I would like to say that I will be stepping away from the league for a bit. An unspecified bit...

I'll still be around the site and stuff but not managing a team or owt. Who knows, I may yearn to come back next week but we'll see how it pans out.

by Fernando Tue 29 Oct 2013, 2:55 pm

I shall be joining Soddy in stepping away from my team as the last few weeks have made it not a pleasant place to be and no fun what so ever. Plus ive managed to get a job which means i shall not be around from 9-4ish anymore.

by FIFA Diva Tue 29 Oct 2013, 3:04 pm

Could have told me guys.

I hope you're not leaving because of me Sodhat and Nando (I've done something without knowing)

Not cos of you Viva, I could never be mad at you Hug

It's not because of anyone though, I've just realised I've been doing this for 2 years without a break so I thought I might take one now and see how it goes. Plus I'm finding my spare time dwindling as it is.

Well done to Soddy on his title win clap

A good send off king

by FIFA Diva Tue 29 Oct 2013, 3:15 pm

I know what you mean, when I went on a break for a couple months I came back refreshed and looked forward doing tactics and voting.

Hope to see both of you guys around the site, thanks for making the leagues we've been in as good as it is.

Well done Miky on your win

by sodhat Tue 29 Oct 2013, 3:16 pm

Need a trophy lifting smiley...

Well done to all participants. I am as surprised as anyone my team was rated, and that it won a league with so many great managers in it.

by **Afro** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 3:17 pm

Gents, I sense a slight restructure of the league needed given the changing of managers.

Season 2 down to 10 teams then?

I hope that's how it turns out for me too.

I'll still be around. I can possibly help with some of the running stuff if required but I won't have a team for a while.

by FIFA Diva Tue 29 Oct 2013, 3:18 pm

Yeah congratulations Soddy.

I expected to lose to both PSV and Glad so well done hero I do think your team is better then the league position shows.

by **Afro** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 3:18 pm

Anyone care to calculate the final table. I'm spent

Would make sense!

by Bull Tue 29 Oct 2013, 3:19 pm

That really got out of hand fast.

I leave for 2 hours come back and the league crumbles!

by **Afro** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 3:21 pm

I was tempted to follow Nando and Soddy. Doing those results took me too long and knackered me.

I am clearly getting too old.

But rather than giving up my team, I will just give up any admin duties. Time for me to enjoy the fruits of someone elses labours, so please organise and divvy it up amongst yourselves.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 29 Oct 2013, 3:22 pm

Enjoy your sabbatical Soddy!

Congrats on the job Nando Get the Whisky

in!
Were you unemployed up till now? I didnt think you were.

by **Afro** Tue 29 Oct 2013, 3:23 pm

As a parting gift to the runners, you need to decide on Zidane's TP proposal and the change to how the results are calculated

by FIFA Diva Tue 29 Oct 2013, 3:25 pm

Who runs the league now?
