Have you listened to the fancast I did with trebs about 1 and a half years ago? I had a listen to it again and by gawd was I speaking non stop I'm gonna take it a bit more easy later on. Let hero do all the talking

Don't worry Nadz I know when to shut people up better am a better host since doing the v2 football fancast.

You have "the voice" that's what makes you a good host trebs. Some of us are cursed with the voice of Timmy like nando but you have a gift. Use it for the greater good.

That was a nice podcast. I enjoyed it alot. Cheers hero, trebs

Was a good one, enjoyed it, gathered pretty early on when we were talking about La Liga that Trebs had been reading the same report about it that I had though lol.

When/where can I listen to it?

Cheers lol.

If anyone is in the Christmas spirit would they be willing to sell me a goalkeeper on the cheap

Nadz Mannone or Mika available

Mannone for 2mill?

Anyone want Craig Dawson for 5mill? Thats less than his tm value. He's been playing good for WBA irl this season.

You can have Guzan for 2.2m which is what I've been offered as lawyer

2mill?

Why would I do that when the lawyer is 2.2m ........

And I don't care its Xmas. Bah humbug

Well we now know who's the grinch of v2

Need someone to take over from Azzy.

Lindelof to Utd rumours doing the rounds again, Sky have picked it up now

Yeah it had quietened down for a few weeks but is gaining pace again currently, seems the Benfica President has been in talks with Utd.

I Frak that up a bit. It was meant to be in £20 differences, so if you chose £230 it would go in the £250 answer pile but it sounded better in my head but I just couldn't type it down properly

But how can anyone get it bang on if they're answering for themselves lol

They all chose £250. I have to give them some props for that!
