great result for spurs yesterday, Zokora was a superhero, Im becomin convinced that Malbranque is our player of the year, what a cool french dude.

PAULYBEE2656 12.17.2007 12:09 PM

yeah malbranque is great. we need ledlay and gareth back big time, we really lack a strong defence. im not sold on zakora at all to be homest, we dont need chimbonda at all! boateng looks like a good player and may i play mt tim huddlestone card again..... a future glenn hoddle, he just needs a bit more nurturing! lets hope this is te start of something good , top 6 finish and uefa cup, maybe a domestic cup?

Bertrand 12.17.2007 01:20 PM

Where does your Tottenham support come from, both of you ?

the ikara cult 12.18.2007 02:57 AM

It certainly doesnt come from sound judgement and a love of success.

Bertrand 12.18.2007 03:39 AM

You won me smiling.

the ikara cult 12.18.2007 06:34 PM

What a performance with 10 men for Spurs tonight (this is turning into a Spurs thread innit. Sod it, its better than another My Bloody Valentine discussion).
Christ i hope Defoe doesnt get dropped against Arsenal. If he does i think he will go

You're gonna lose points on that, thinking you did something wrong, and unwillingly selecting the wrong player...


I certainly did pick the wrong folks!

- captain Gerrard = 1 point, kindly doubled by Fantasy Premier League... 2 points
- Fat Frank = 1 point (I even transfered the bastard in for 4 points, so his netto result was -3)
- Pamarot = cheap and clever transfer I thought, but I benched him (only player in my team to keep a clean sheet! :mad:) and he immediately got injured for about a month.
- Transfered Fabregas out because I had no clue he already would be playing again.

Those super sunday weekends are really hard to estimate... oh well, at least I didn't transfer Santa Cruz out just weeks before his hattrick! :D

I wonder how many people are still playing this?

the ikara cult 12.20.2007 08:18 PM

:fuckyou:

Cunt on a stick

edit; just watched that clip in full and its bloody funny, good shout

pokkeherrie 12.21.2007 08:37 AM

there's another one, but it's not as funny imo.

i think both ideas are stolen from other vids too.

Bertrand 12.21.2007 09:06 AM

Santa Cruz's retaliation made me sad; but I already had the feeling something had gone wrong, when Kuyt scored twice after I kicked him out.
Nevermind, my team's still shining.

Bertrand 12.26.2007 04:52 AM

Hey, there's a bundle of gameweeks in a short period of time !
Today, on the 29th and on the first of January !
Don't miss that !

PAULYBEE2656 12.26.2007 07:36 AM

ha fucking ha!!! at least we dont have to resort to two footed flying tackles to win a game!!!!!

totally forgot about this this week. ive got an injury, i need to economise to get my star players back namely keane and fabregas!

who did everyone get in the cup draw.....
i got some polish bloke!

sonicl 12.30.2007 06:01 AM

It's been a pretty good Christmas for point-scoring, if people have picked the right teams. Any of you lucky buggers got Berbatov?

How do you find out?

PAULYBEE2656 12.30.2007 06:45 AM

its on the site, just click on it and then click to view yr opponents team....

... bertrand, why i support spurs, they are the first team i recognized as a kid and the first football shirt i wanted (i was about 3) maybe i connected with the cock or something!!!!

we would be on top of the league if we could defend, 6-4, incredible game, spurs are officially the most entertaining team in the league!

PAULYBEE2656 12.30.2007 06:46 AM

remember guys 3 weks until the african nations cup so get rid of yr african players now!

PAULYBEE2656 12.30.2007 06:48 AM

i got through the first round of the fantasy cup, now in the all irish 2nd round!

OK. My personal faves come from my younger days too, when Dalglish played for Liverpool and looked like the youngest player on the field, which was the easiest way for me to relate to anyone involved in the game.

I'd add that I have a fondness for Villa and Nottingham Forest for the same reasons (and their beautiful shirts, that didn't look like any French team shirt).

PAULYBEE2656 12.30.2007 12:31 PM

my first footballing heroes were probably ricky villa and ossie ardiles and of course the man, hoddle!!!

anyone remember this classic...
 

live on top of the pops!!!!!

pokkeherrie 12.30.2007 07:26 PM

I fucking hate this game so much. I really suck at making choices!

Last week I had Gerrard vs Derby captain but changed it 5 minutes before the deadline to Fabregas for fear of Benitez resting good ol' Steve against the bottom ranked team in the league... of course he wasn't rested, scored and got bonus points while Fabregas was largely invisible vs Portsmouth. Oh, did I mention that I had Distin (man of the match, 9 points) benched in that Portsmouth game as well?

This week I finally sold Kitson and he immediately took revenge by scoring twice AND getting 3 bonus points vs Spurs. :(

(BTW, I Didn't see the game, but how the hell does Berbatov only get 1 bonus point after scoring 4 goals!?)

the ikara cult 12.30.2007 07:56 PM

Fuckin hell, today i had Jones from Sunderland and Hart from Man City on my bench both giving me 10+ points and they didnt automatically substitute them in???

pokkeherrie 12.30.2007 08:02 PM

... unfortunately automatic substitution only happens when one of your original starters doesn't play.

the ikara cult 12.30.2007 08:35 PM

pants
thanks for explaining that cos ive been annoyed massively for the last couple of weeks. bloody Ashley Young

sonicl 01.11.2008 03:57 AM

I shouldn't be doing this, bearing in mind that I'm slipping down the table pretty fast now, but don't foget, folks, that the African Nations Cup starts very soon, and a lot of African players aren't going to be playing for the next few weeks. Get your transfers and substitutions in quick.

pokkeherrie 01.14.2008 06:14 PM

Ouch! I just checked on last weekend's results... It seems like not having Ronaldo in my team is seriously killing me these past few weeks... But, I'll manage without him, I have my pride*!



* .... and by that I mean that I can't afford him.


(OK, I guess I could afford him but ditching Gerrard for Ronaldo just feels dirty. The form Ronnie is in at the moment is pretty much forcing me though. Ugh.)

Bertrand 01.15.2008 04:45 AM

Gosh ! I'm not allowed to rep you for that definition of pride...
Talk about bad luck...

PAULYBEE2656 01.15.2008 08:47 AM

yep. ranaldo not being present really has scuppered my chances. im going to take the gamble and reorganize my team and get the sulky talented bastard! i wish i hadnt used up that wildcard now!!!!!!! last portion of the season is gonna be all out attack from me!

sonicl 01.15.2008 08:57 AM

My wildcard is still safely in my pocket, waiting for the end of January when the transfer window closes. Ronaldo still won't be in my team after that though, on principle.

Bertrand 01.15.2008 10:05 AM

I admire principles.
That's classier that my personal shame at thinking that Ronaldo might only wave my team bye-bye on Gameweek 35.
I've got something in mind for the day I use my wildcard.
I hope the gap doesn't shrink too much, so that I can keep the card for the very last day...

sonicl 01.15.2008 12:01 PM

It's not an admirable principle, I'm afraid - I hate Man U and Liverpool, and refuse to have any of their players in my team. I went against my principles for a while and had one player from each of those teams, but it made me very ill, so I got rid of them.

I once had a fantasy team which was picked on the basis that I refused to have any players who played for a team that wore a red kit. Surprisingly, it did quite well and I won the FA Cup in the competition that I was playing in.

it's probably better that way, as it's likely i'll have to add him to my team anyway. he's scored 120 points in his last 5 games for everyone who captained him during that period.

btw, doesn't anyone else think it's silly that he's listed as a midfielder in fantasy premier league? that means he gets points for clean sheets even though he's not defending and 5 instead of 4 points (like forwards) for every goal. of course i won't complain about that once he's in my team. :rolleyes:

PAULYBEE2656 01.16.2008 09:44 AM

gerrard and ronaldo in my midfield.... jeez, my defence has to struggle with that

sonicl 02.01.2008 04:26 AM

Thw transfer window closed last night - albeit without much action having taken place. Time for me to think about playing my wildcard.

Bertrand 03.21.2008 04:00 AM

I've seen that on GW33, the Manchester City-Chelsea clash had been delayed. Make sure you get 11 players available.
No new date for that game yet. But some are gonna play twice again for sure.

Bertrand 03.23.2008 03:49 AM

^^
It's now back to where it formerly belonged.

pokkeherrie 03.23.2008 12:47 PM

Oh dear, I forgot about the deadline a couple of times in a row in January, then I just skipped it altogether completely. I shudder to think about what my position could be now.

pokkeherrie 03.23.2008 12:51 PM

hmmm...

Death & the Maiden 03.23.2008 10:05 PM

I wish I'd joined the board earlier, I would have participated in this.

PAULYBEE2656 04.20.2008 10:03 AM

nearing the end now people... im hot on the heels of a fantasy place in europe.. up to 8th and going to stay there with still a million in the bank for my last charge to semi mediocre glory! just like spurs!

PAULYBEE2656 05.10.2008 03:39 AM
