SportsFilter: The Tuesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
JZ 1982 FC would like to join.

Tom Clancy is me. And I am he.

I am in the current league (el tigre negro de holden). Happy to join the new league. Some of the other participants no longer actively participate on SpoFi, so while I am sure we will add some folks, we will lose some as well. Would help to have rcade or someone who will be around in future years as the manager for the new league though, as those things just get renewed year-over-year.

A question of etiquette: who does one root for between MK Dons and Man U? If it's MK Dons, I have good news for you.

Yikes. 4-0! Paddy Power said 14 people bet on Franchise FC to win 4-0 at 500-to-1 odds.

Some kind of asteroid strike?

AFC Wimbledon and FC United of Manchester.

I'm in the league and would of course join a new league.
And frankly out of those two I'm happy for the result since Utd get the manure piled on heavier (watch out for Burnley this weekend chaps) and MK get more attention paid to their origin rather than less (as their gaffer forlornly suggested at the post-match presser).

Our Fantasy Premier League has the following owners: el tigre negro de holden, BS Johnson, Tim Truxell, Wade Duchene, Lawn Wrangler, billsaysthis, John McClure, Jeffwa Hogue, Tom Clancy, me, t s e l s o n and ca buki.
If you're playing Fantasy Premier League this season, post here and let me know, and indicate whether you're in the current league. We can create a new SportsFilter 2014-15 league, but I don't want to lose anybody in the old one.
