The board won't care.

They agreed to sell Del Piero to Liverpool before he went to Australia. It was Del Piero himself who turned down the move and he's a proper Juvenita. Vidal ain't

I think any United fan who is pinning his hopes on Liverpool not getting Vidal because of Heysel are kidding themselves. It'll be whoever charms Vidal best out of United and Liverpool IMO.

Fair play Afro. Really the only option i saw with the players available

by **Afro** Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:27 pm

Cheers GSC. Wasn't expecting it so a nice surprise

by Azzy Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:34 pm

Unlucky Miky, I thought for sure this was your week! I liked the formation and the 5-5 split.

Can we add our £1m?

by FIFA Diva Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:36 pm

Half effort tactics? That's some Bull crap propaganda and I'm not just excepting that, the whole point of this league was limited short tactics, if we're going to scout the opposition and do team talk it should have been agreed from the start. I've lost out there.

by sodhat Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:37 pm

I wasn't swayed by it Viva, I assure you.

I almost docked a goal for the reference to the "BBC's best World Cup CB" too.

by FIFA Diva Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:39 pm

I've just seen Azzys tactics for last week, I guess no one is sticking to the rules of this league.

by Azzy Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:40 pm

Yeah, that was some Grade A baloney from Hero Laugh

"And here comes the BBC best World Cup CB 2014, passes it to the 2011 Chelsea U21s LB of the season, forward down the line to Poland's 2006 Young Sports Personality of the Year, crosses to the BBC-voted three time African Footballer of the Year. Goal!"

by sodhat Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:42 pm

I think Azzy's look longer because of the sub bits but mostly because he used bullet points and not flowing text so it spreads the page.

Word for word I didn't think there was anything wrong.

I'm not blaming you one bit, I'm blaming everyone who can't stick to the rules of this league. It's pointless me doing tactic when I'm getting North Korea type of lies from Hero and Azzy writing a novel like his name is Stephen King

by FIFA Diva Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:44 pm

Don't forget subs.

We need clarification on what are short tactics because I've lost out 5 times because of this.

by sodhat Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:44 pm

Why don't we all calm down with a cool glass of mafia?

by FIFA Diva Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:46 pm

Let's play.

by Azzy Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:47 pm

I'm so getting murdered.

No, I'll save that for our match this Monday. You're going down home boy.

Damn, should have given GSC the win. He's the voter this week.

A manager using propaganda to big up his own team and discredit the opposition. Well that'd never happen in the real world.

Sorry Viva but I stick by my comment, your tactics this week were pretty much the same as the week before and whilst we've been instructed to shorten them, there's a difference between 'shorten' and sending your team haikus.

by sodhat Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:53 pm

And by the way, I shall be keeping up my end of the bargain by running a game of sheep tomorrow. I should hope all managers don't forget their duties when it's their week.

by Azzy Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:55 pm

I won't soddy.

Can we have our £1ms? And who is manager of the week?

by **Hero** Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:56 pm

Player of the week has to surely go to the BBC's centre back of the World Cup Giancarlo Gonzalez?

by FIFA Diva Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:58 pm

Before the league started I was told that tactics must be short and to be about your own side. It's OK I'll follow your lead from now on when doing tactics.

Unfortunately some managers have not stuck to the agreement Sodhat, they shouldn't have received their bonus.

by FIFA Diva Thu 24 Jul 2014, 2:59 pm

Don't forget Mahmood you'll be doing Sheep instead of me when it's my turn to do voting.

by GSC Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:01 pm

To be fair Viva, rules were always going to evolve as time went on. People seem to have settled on a few points for attack and defense which isn't gregarious. When FL posted an essay week 1 I did say it was too long. As long as people aren't taking the urine I'm not going to get overly strict.

Everyone but Olly can add 1m, Sodhat 1.5m

I wasn't about at the start of the league, nor was I informed of this rule, nor is it in the rules.

What defines short?
Shall I put 'Win' next week, then moan if I lose and my opponent put 'Go win' as his were longer than mine?

by FIFA Diva Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:05 pm

I understand GSC and yes my tactics haven't been as good as they should have been. I'll make up for it this game week.

Hero have you completed breaking bad yet?

by **Hero** Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:06 pm

YES! ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND NEED SOME OTHER SERIES TO GET MY FIX

by **Hero** Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:06 pm

WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?

I guess you must be moaning every time you hit the changing room.

by sodhat Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:07 pm

A two goal hero is the player of the week as he made Bordeaux Depay for being too defensive.

The manager of the week is Viva for giving us all a lesson in graceful acceptance.

by FIFA Diva Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:10 pm

Who was your favorite character? Mine was Saul I heard they're making a spin off starting Saul.

Games of throne is supposed to be really good, there's a few good shows on Netflix.

by FIFA Diva Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:11 pm

Do I win anything for manager of the week?

by Azzy Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:12 pm

LOUD NOISES!

by GSC Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:12 pm

1m Viva

by sodhat Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:13 pm

Oh hang on - change in manager of the week. It's actually me.

So I'll take that cash.

by FIFA Diva Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:14 pm

On top of the 1m I already get?

by GSC Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:15 pm

by FIFA Diva Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:18 pm

Great.

by Azzy Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:27 pm

Seems being a whiny bitch pays. Prepare for Uber-Azzy next week gents.

by GSC Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:29 pm

I'm voting, you won't get jack.

by Azzy Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:31 pm

Will I get Paul?

by GSC Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:36 pm

Hes not a bad stepdad but everyone has a price

Oh I thought you were already acting like a whiny, moany, cry baby bitch.

But seriously please don't turn to that Azzy, nobody can cope with him.

Yet it's set a few years back as a prequel. I need to find something to replace Cartoon HD that allows me to watch GOT on an iPad.

by FIFA Diva Thu 24 Jul 2014, 3:45 pm

I thought you watched it on Netflix.

Just go on pirate bay and download the shows from there.

Four top Chelsea players have been fined by their club after a drinking binge in a hotel packed with American tourists grieving over the US terror attacks.
The incident happened just 24 hours after the attacks and included stripping, swearing and vomiting at the hotel near Heathrow airport, which was full with Americans stranded by flight cancellations, according to the News of the World.

The group included England Under 21 stars Frank Lampard, Jody Morris, John Terry and former Chelsea defender Frank Sinclair.

They were joined by Icelandic International Eidur Gudjohnsen, 23.

Chelsea's football game that night against Bulgarian team Levski Sofia had just been called off as a mark of respect for victims of the attacks when the players went on the five-hour binge.

Antonio Parisini, a manager at Heathrow's Posthouse hotel, said: "They were causing lots of noise and knocking things over in the bar and upsetting everyone. They were really drunk."

The players later moved on to the nearby Airport Bowl bowling alley, where they shocked onlookers by diving down the lanes head first.

Chelsea managing director Colin Hutchinson condemned the players' behaviour as "totally out of order" and said they had each been fined two weeks' wages by the club.

The money - more than £100,000 - will be donated to the fund helping families of the victims of the America disaster.

Hutchinson also stressed that none of the four Chelsea players had intended to insult or abuse any member of the public, least of all Americans affected by the events in their homeland.

He said: "Obviously we are condemning their behaviour by fining them. We have acted very quickly in this matter as we were only told about it on Friday night.

Jody Morris
Jody Morris was amongst the troublemakers
"Claudio Ranieri and myself met the players first thing Saturday morning.

"Normally we would not tackle disciplinary matters on the day before an important game, but because of the seriousness of the matter, we have done so.

"In the meeting with the players, we reminded them again of their responsibilities.

"They were categorical that in no way had they intended to insult any individuals and they said that they certainly didn't abuse anyone.

"They were loud between themselves but they, like everyone at the club, have been as hurt and moved by what has happened in the United States as anyone else.

"Their behaviour was totally out of order but there is no way that the players went out to insult or abuse anyone."
