Yes - good point.
I agree.
Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ 25th February 2022, 8:18 AM(BTW I don't think Don is the Bogey Man he sometimes makes out to be. Persona and all that.) And his terse use of language is a wonder to behold at times.
Thank you, Alfred. Very kind.
Quote: Stephen Goodlad @ 25th February 2022, 8:40 AMI don't know Don or who he is, he gives nothing away.
But I would have a few lager and limes in't tap room with him. (and that's my highest accolade)
Much obliged, sir. Game of arrows too?

Close.

What post has upset you, big man? I'll take it down.
Quote: Hercules Grytpype Thynne @ 25th February 2022, 10:12 AMI dropped Salah when he went into the Africa Cup, and never got him back, thinking poor lamb, he'll be exhausted after all that playing and getting depressed, he came away with basically nowt.
That's more or less the reason I didn't TC him, that and not accounting for City's sudden wobble which was already underway, and was the spur for his performances, so my slip up. Lost 45pts from just two players in last two GWs by not keeping up with things. Bah.

I was just finding it hard to locate this thread, maybe it was my PC or maybe it was teething problems with the new site, but every time I tried to get on the thread I ended up on the Super 6 or the H2H league thread, one time I even ended up in Godot's bedroom but hopefully it's all forgotten now
Welcome back. Although that's my place above you scuppered as you'll no doubt be doing everything to pass me. ?
Haha
You know me too well Alf
It'll still be fun playing for pride
Don's played a blinder so far this season so well done to him top stuff
Those who win this game merely stand with webbed feet on the unduly substantial shoulders of dubious oligarchs.
We could all easily do this.
Some of us prefer to hand out the few pennies we have - and with as many hands as we can grow - for the building of cathedrals in our tiny back yards to house the most vulnerable of baby mallards.

You're just trying to duck the issue.

Boom boom Mr Corbett.
I've blind lucked my way up a few places in the table in the hunt for the Champions league places, so am happy with that
And very happy to have seen Christian Eriksen get back on the Football pitch today
Great stuff
Quote: don rushmore @ 25th February 2022, 4:28 AMI've responded to all that before, Godot, multiple times. I'm not wasting any more time on it, and neither should you.
Well, you brought it up, dumbass.
Quote: don rushmore @ 25th February 2022, 4:28 AMHope your health improves.
Thanks. You're a tad late though.
Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ 25th February 2022, 8:18 AMIt's all entertainment, as the song goes.
If Don genuinely was entertaining I'd tolerate any amount of c**tishness from him. This season he's been posting according to the rules, and I'm glad, but this is the first time. Steve's a moral vacuum with a PhD in passive aggression, but he does at least make me laugh.

Cultural reference - nice. Though this Beckett play would better sum up my performance:
It's taken me 14 weeks to get back below 1m in rank.

Apparently not. Quote from Don last season:
"Normally at this point our leader is 20K or better. Steve is currently 158K, so I wouldn't call that playing really well." https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/35718/70/
Don's currently 130K. He's got two weeks to move to 20K or better. Hope he makes it.

Seems like it, unless you were expecting to get 12 points from your 4.3m Newcastle defender.
I guess you didn't like me suggesting you and Don had won through luck. (It seems to have brought you out of lurking). If yours and Don's wins weren't mostly luck - how do you explain the much lower positions in the other years? You were first last year but are sixth this season. Don's leading now but finished 10th last season and by his own admission did not give up. In comparison Anton was second last year and is second this year. Gerry, who would have won last year, would be third this year if he was in our league, on his current 1608 points.

Took me ages just to find the correct poses for both of them.............. ?

Hi Godot
A lot of it is luck, I bought the Newcastle players in for the following week not this one, so their scores were welcome, but it was a risk
But I think the game is quite tactical as well as luck driven and some years my tactics work better than other years, also the better I'm doing the harder I tend to try
and there have been a few seasons where I've completely given up either because I've been doing terribly or just haven't been able to dedicate any time to it
But I'm trying not to give up completely any more

Good man. Can you talk Lazza into returning, as he posted regularly despite being bottom. I sense he was embarrassed by it but tell him no one was looking at his bottom, it's all about the banter and he contributed. Ta in advance.
