I feel confident that once again I will make an astonishing late run into the top twelve.

Rumours abound of disharmony in the Villa camp, payers fighting each other at pre season tournaments, players not supporting the team when they haven't been picked, that sort of thing.
It's all rather fantastic, unlike my dismal early season form. Is it too early to say I hate this game?

Shane Watson will play in the next test and I will zoom up the league!

That damn table looks righteous enough to these eyes|
Can we call the season closed now? Before I start my inevitable, inexorable, slide down to 15th place?

I'm game for a bash a the Guardian league, as I am so crap at this one!

OK. I'll concede that Squealy might just have edged this one.

I was sent here by Mefi also...............is there any way out?

Speak for yourselves, I could kick myself for not choosing the captain wisely though.

My particular stroke of genius last week was to buy Richards, take a points hit on him and then make him 3rd sub.

May I congratulate my self on making the 4 worst transfers in the history of fantasy football.

I have sacrificed eight chuffing points already. I hate this game.

It looks like the Times doodah is doomed, with only 3 of us signed up and less than a week to go.

Never mind having nightmares, sign up for the Times doodah! Pay no attention to Bill, The Times of England is a model of probity: it is owned by Rupert Murdoch, for gods sake!

Bloody 'ell. 15 teams is looking slightly over optimistic! We have to have a minimum of five or it's goodnight Irene before a ball is kicked. Where is starfucker when I need him!

I saw an interview with Leipheimer yesterday where he said he will be making his big move in the Pyrenees.

There is some very good tour related stuff here Chapeaux! After about 70 miles, which is to say already into unknown territory, dehydration set in. The water bottles had been empty for some time. Suddenly the country lanes of Kent started to waver. There was a wave of drowsiness that felt almost hallucinatory. And the idea of riding a stage of the Tour de France seemed like a very bad idea indeed. Charlie's Tour de Farce A brief history Watch on Google earth

The Bazooka Joes are in, how do I get in the mini league?
posted by Fat Buddha at 05:18 AM on July 07
I'm against two divisons too. If you are stuck down the league, amuse yourself with private battles with those around you. You never know, you might surprise yourself with an astonishing week and zip up the table.

Yes, well done to gspm on breaking the Brummie hegemony!

Botheration! I heard Lampard had been dropped to the bench just too late to remove him as captain.

The Damned Utd, by David Peace, a fictional, but minutely researched stream of consciousness account of the great Brian Cloughs 40 days at Leeds Utd, is destined to become a classic. Train by Peter Dexter is utterly brilliant, and, non sporting, Steve Hamilton writes highly readable thrillers with an ex baseball catcher as hero.

I don't want an update, my crazed transfer dealings failed dismally.
posted by Fat Buddha at 04:06 PM on January 16
DON'T PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just sacrificed another 12 points, that's 24 over the course of the last two games. I hate this game.
posted by Fat Buddha at 01:37 PM on January 01
I came very close to getting rid of Saha and I wish I had done! I also came close to buying Shorey instead of Taylor, and I bleeding well wish I had done that as well!
posted by Fat Buddha at 01:24 PM on January 01
I picked the right day to sell bloody Samaras and buy Anichebe. I hate this game.
posted by Fat Buddha at 11:01 AM on January 01
How, very, very, fucking droll. Good week this week for all those who made the Ladyboy captain, I fully expect to drop many places, especially as on top of having a crap week I have just sacrificed eight points in transfers.

John Terry has been kicking a ball and running about this morning.

Is this the same idiot who took 120 test wickets, including 7-66 in the second test against Australia in 1977?
posted by Fat Buddha at 04:27 PM on December 29
Is it just me or has this whole thing become more interesting since everybody got rid of Henry? There is now much more diversity in the teams which leads to a much greater fluctuation in the scores. It doesn't explain the sad demise of Squealy though!
posted by Fat Buddha at 05:05 AM on December 28
Well it would be nice to keep the Brummie hegemony going. I know Salmacis is only an imitation Brummie, but sod it, it's close enough for us to claim him as one of our own!

So, a guy will punch me in all my faces?
posted by Fat Buddha at 01:25 PM on December 17
I've often been tempted to buy Taylor, in fact, I think I did last season, and he disappeared without trace. I took the inspired decision to make Carragher my captain on Friday, reasoning that Arse and Chelsea would probably cancel each other out, then on Saturday morning decided to give it back to Lampard. I hate this game.
posted by Fat Buddha at 10:39 AM on December 12
Never mind the actual game, some silly sod has made a prodigious leap and deserves a bit of chuffing kudos!
posted by Fat Buddha at 10:35 AM on December 05
Jeez, how could I have forgotten Pieterson, who couldn't be more South African if he tried. Ed Joyce is the Irishman, but he is unlikely to get a game. With the battery of pace the Aussies are likely to select, expect many catches behind the stumps and in the slips.

Well it has nothing to do with achievement, because the man who has put on the single best sporting performance of the year doesn't even make the list.
posted by Fat Buddha at 05:47 PM on October 06
After being rather pleased with myself for sticking the Viler in my team last week, I am rather less pleased this week, having dropped him and sacrificed 9 points.

I think I will just have to concentrate on beating starfucker for my thrills this year.
posted by Fat Buddha at 12:36 PM on September 14
This year I won't feel any misguided loyalty to Blues players, so will pick a full squad of heavy points scorers. Be warned, the Brummie hegemony is set to continue!
