Just played my wildcard; not that the team were doing badly just there's money to be made in the long gameweek, and I hate having the fecking wildcard and want rid of it.

Though having said that I suppose as you're both Americans you probably signed up whilst the vast majority of the most likely entrants (Brits) were fast asleep.

btw, how's everyone doing on their Head-to-Head Leagues? As luck would have it, billsaysthis and I are in the same one.
That's an astonishing coincidence unless you picked your teams in unison. As I understand it the Head to Head leagues are just each 20 entrants in order of registering their teams.

Fine by me as I always run out of mini-leagues. You still wouldn't win though.

So there are two Spofi leagues as it stands now: the incumbent auto-renewing one and the new one. Are we going to keep both? I'd say keep the incumbent auto-renewing one as it's less effort for the participants. Newbie players can request the code to join.

Yeah, I'm in. Who f-n told squealy? No one told me. The admin of last year's league chose to reactivate the old league. I did this myself for another league that I admin. This automatically puts all those teams who were in the league last season into this season's league as soon as they set up their team. Those who don't want to take part in this reactivated league have to opt out themselves. Boy that was confusing.

Who could disagree with such an eminently sensible suggestion? Bravo DrJ.

Was watching the game with some mates. I tried the chat room thingy during the world cup and found I wasn't following the game properly so I stopped.

Squealy, here is the best description of Cisse! Ah yes, I remember that vaguely from the SpoFi campfire chats. My natural condition during World Cups is drunk so it's no real surprise I'd forgotten

What's the Cisse one about? I must have missed that.

Lampard!!! 50 points this week for anyone who had him as captain. I didn't even have him in my squad.

I hope Torres pulls the cat out of the bag on Wednesday or I'll have made a very, very stupid double transfer unbalancing my team for no reason. He was bloody hopeless against Bolton. Irony was is that I was going to ignore the Liverpool double gameweek and swap idiot Petrov for Cahill but got greedy. Will I never learn?
posted by squealy at 04:51 AM on March 03
Crap week for me. This week was far better. Aside of course from that petulant idiot Petrov getting sent off in the last minute of injury time.

Can't shake that pesky garfield off my tail so I'll just have to copy his team instead. Mwahahaha.

I should concentrate on my own game and stop giving tips to my opponents.
posted by squealy at 09:44 AM on January 25
I've warmed to him somewhat, which wasn't difficult seeing as my perspective after he got Rooney sent off was glacial. He coped well with the grief he got after that, a little like Beckham's pathetic sending off against the Argies proved to be a turning point. He's even started doing post-match interviews now and comes across as a self-effacing, modest young man. And he plays with a smile on his face, which is always good to see. He's still a twat though.

No kiddin'. 83 points and not a hint of color. And I did it without Ronaldo, no less! That's admirable, and I like the look of your team. Fact is though you'll do shit all in this game without Ronaldo. He's the new Henry.

Thanks CRon.

I need to get Ronaldo back in to my team somehow or other. It was a schoolboy error to underestimate him and overestimate Fat Frank.
posted by squealy at 09:20 AM on December 24
Even at that rate, there aren't enough weeks left in the season for me. You never know. It is possible to make huge jumps in the standings just by getting your captaincy choice right a few times. As if that were any easy thing to do. Must dash, I've got £3.2m to spend on squad strengthening to avoid the traditional Xmas carnage with rested players and the like.

My season has gone tits up, big time. Ah well.
posted by squealy at 05:46 PM on October 28
gspm's right, he was second/third in line at the start of the season level with Joe Hart. He also put in a very dodgy perfomance away at Fulham before he was dropped. I expect Isaakson to be first choice keeper at Citeh sooner rather than later now that he's recovered from injury. But you never know with Sven.

Squealy, if I didn't love your "sports bio" so much, I'd curse you. No need. I'll make a drunken, knee-jerk transfer soon that will knock the stuffing out of my tream. This week it's bye bye the "injured" Mikael Arteta who then promptly plays and gets an assist.
posted by squealy at 06:16 AM on October 04
Replacing Owen with Adebayor was an inspired decision, especially as Owen did sod all and then was subbed due to groin knack.

Hi Folkways, glad to hear you're doing alright. Best wishes from Nottingham, merrie olde England. I'll also shout you a warm beer if you ever make it over to this neck of the woods. Robin Hood sends his regards too.

Just in case anyone isn't aware of it you should be able to see match highlights of every game here. I'm assuming it works whether you're in the UK or not.
posted by squealy at 08:14 AM on August 16
It's too early in the season for league tables to mean anything much. However tselson seems to have a strong squad - something you gain by leaving out the really big money players. I'd already used my free transfer this week getting rid of Berby to jump on the Tevez bandwagon. Now I'm going to have to consider wasting four points getting rid of that idiot Ronaldo.

And Martins doesn't play this gameweek.
posted by squealy at 01:13 PM on August 13
It could have been a lot worse but it was rather irritating leaving Fprssell (goal) and Nosworthy (clean sheet) on the bench. I got the captaincy choice wrong at the last minute too.
posted by squealy at 08:31 AM on August 13
Damn all these bleeding pre-season friendlies. I've already had more players injured in pre-season than I did in the entire 2005/06 EPL campaign.

Well I certainly didn't do anything, the SpoFi league just appeared in my leagues section suddenly. Drat, there goes my plan of seeming noncommital about the game this season to lull people into a false sense of security.
posted by squealy at 07:30 AM on July 06
That's impressive. I got signed up to the SpoFi League automatically. How the hell did that happen?

All strikers I think, though Nemeth and Simon are only kids.

No need to apologise trox. I can only speak of what I've seen of the pitch on the telly - ie three playoff finals, an FA Cup final and an international friendly. The pitch didn't look the best and was breaking up quite a lot, but it is fairly newly-laid and hopefully will "bed in" properly given some time.
posted by squealy at 02:27 PM on June 04
Squealy, even a few paragraphs would be appreciated, if only for your impressions of Wembley. I would do trox but it was salmacis who went to the game, I just watched it on the telly.
posted by squealy at 02:14 PM on May 31
Writing a column seems quite daunting to me and maybe a bit overblown for something that might just be a couple of paragraphs.

Well done gspm and thanks for all your hard work. I'm against two divisions and have been ever since it was first suggested about three seasons ago.
