    Ok, so my team was pretty much full of players that didn't play for the first 3 matches (count them -THREE), and due to my being on holiday I was unable to manage my team and probably lost somewhere in the region of 40-50 points (and that's a conservative estimate) and trailed the leaders by what seemed a impossible total (40+ points at one point)

    When I returned to my embattered and bloody team I had to put up with posts making fun of me and deridding my managerial ability. How quickly you all forgot my epic Premier League victory just last season?

    But I sat down, ignored the posts that mocked my for being third from bottom, laughed at my player chocies and accused me of being a burnt out wreck and I got to work.

    But, much like Zidane has in this world cup, I have pulled out all the stops, used every tactical and managerial trick I know, and now sit just 6 (count them - SIX) points off the top of the table in second place.

    So where's all your mocking now eh matteys? Before this World Cup started I promised you all that I would be bringing the trophy home (lets face it, England sure as hell aint), and I intend to keep that promise....

    Let the final battle commence!

    I would have been third had I joined the league.

    I didn't because like Great Uncle Welshguy I get a little obsessive and wanted to enjoy the World Cup this year.

    oh and nice one!

    You really think you have a choice in this JonJedi? [face_mischief]

    Start slowly, build up a soild points haul and then....

    WHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Knock your enemy for 106 points!


    Richie: No one can stop me now!!!!! In one week, I shall be a GOD!

    Loon: That's what your post says, but I heard you lost your bottle when I beat you in the Premier League and you couldn't face me again cause you got no balls!




    Sometimes.... I think I need a more balanced life.

    Yeah, I peed in it!!!

    You'd never guess that i'm a 28 year old NHS administrator with a Honda Accord would you?

    And to think that my gf dumped me cause she said I couldn't accept any responsibility, commitment and refused to become more mature....

    [face_shame_on_you]

    But now i'm second in a fantasy football league against people i've never even meet!!

    So who's having the last laugh now biatch!!!

    When I saw the thread title my first thought was "Elvis is making a come-back?! :eek:"

    I'm slightly dissapointed, and slightly releaved too.

    That's what I was thinking. They should have let us choose from all players and not just prem ones. Now we're all going to have to have Henry and Saha up front!

    Why Saha?
    Why waste money and points on him, he won't play


    I kept 2 eliminated strikers, and will rely on my midfield and defense to get points for me [face_praying]

    I suppose the big points will be decided on who you pick as your captain.

    A good game for your captain can easily pick you up another 10-15 points.
