It's great to be 42184

That's where my 95 points gets me in the overall league. Anyone know how many teams there are altogether? Where does 151 pts put you, AimBrand Hotspur?

Meanwhile, I nearly just signed Erik Edman to my fantasy team. I really am the kiss of death to Premiership footballers. Does anyone out there have a vendetta against a particular player? If so, I can help you out by putting them in the Miracle of Istanbul (for a small fee, of course).

Dear Mr Wenger

Why are you such a wanker? Can't you see everyone else buying players to make their squad stronger? Hadn't it occurred to you that Arsenal might be better with some new faces? Even Spurs have signed some strong player, even bloody Spurs!!!! You have one more day - after that, I'm supporting Liverpool for the rest of the season.

Yours

Thierry Henry

Further angst

Perhaps I have picked the Anti-team.

After a rigorous evaluation process I have discovered that I have only 3 players that have scored more than 5 points.

Am thinking of selling the rest of the team and keeping the money for myself.

Where is Baros???

I was thinking that to bolster my struggling team, I might pick up Baros now that he's moved to Villa. After all, surely he'd play a lot there and might even help me come second to last instead of last...
But, he's disappeared from the league - or was he never there in the first place?

Anyone noticed this? Anyone care?

In other news, although I am the bottom of the table, everyone should note that it's actually Nick who is losing, since I joined the week after him...

Please post ...

... if only so that a photo of arse isn't the first thing that appears when we check the blog.

By the way, where do people think Michael Owen will end up? Would he be a good signing for Liverpool? Does anybody care? Is anybody even listening?

It's been a bit quiet...

...is everyone bored with the ramblings of our fellow managers? What's it going to take to get people to post?

Porn? If so, i've loooooads. As you can see. BTW, these two hot and hard boys are available for home movies, barmitzvahs, and weddings. For a small fee they'll lick peanut butter off your dog's private parts. And when I say for a small fee, they'll pay you.



Good luck to all tomorrow

The Chairman

Where the fuck...???...

....is Michael R, Mitch, Jim, and Charlotte? It's almost as if this blog doesn't exist for them. Why are'nt they posting message? Do they even care? Can it be true????? Say it ain't so Joe (Cole).

Oh yes, I forgot. Charlotte has been quiet to ever since I invited her to the blog. Some people, eh? As punishment, I've posted another flattering picture of her (Nic does'nt look so bad)......

Kisses to all

Player of the week.

Anyone know who was POTW this week? I'm assuming it wasn't Olivier Tebily, my star right back (1 game started, 2 goal conceded, null points).

Carlton Palmer in Everton snub...

...David Moyes has apparently played down reports that the ex-England star has turned down the opportunity to join Everton. Ricardo Carvalho however does seem interested in a move.

The Chairman introduces even more fun to the blog - unbelievable but true!

Nick Y has inspired me to start some polls here. The first one is below on the right. Vote early and vote often!

I am also open to poll suggestions - give me a question and some potential answers and I'll post it. I'm sure we'll get bored after a while, but lets have a little fun in the meantime!

Meet Geoff: a competition

Geoff has quietly introduced himself (see the 11th message of "Welcome to the League"). In this spirit of our earlier introductions, and following Geoff's attempt to guess the song that CT is air-guitaring, here's a photo of me and Geoff taken on Saturday at a friend's wedding. Your task is to guess whether Geoff is:
(a) Dancing
(b) Imitating a duck
(c) Taking a crap
(d) Other (please specify)

TRI Friday.

A couple of handy Friday time-wasters:

http://www.metacafe.com/item.php?itemID=21260
http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/road_trip_prank.html

The first one is football-related -- check out the dribble where Ronaldinho fakes with the outside of the right boot then cuts inside. How the hell does he do that?

The second one isn't football-related, but is funny.

Welcome to the League

As Chairman, I would like to say hello and welcome t o Charlotte and Geoff. Never met Geoff, never heard of Geoff, never even thought about the guy. But Nick vouches for him and that's good enough for the Chairman. Of course, if Geoff turns out to be a tosser we will have Nick whacked. But we'll do it very humanely (make him watch Deuce Bigelow's new movie endlessly).

Caro and I know Charlotte reasonably well, and in light of the previous "meet the foes" message, thought the rest of you would like to see what she looks like. So, here's one of her being molested by Caro and one of her molesting us with her "air guitar". Lovely, ain't she? If you start beating her in the league she'll make this face until you bring in lots of Spurs players and start losing. Sad what the Kiwis will do.

Once again, welcome. The Chairman

Carvalho in OED fetish shock?

Does anybody actually believe that Ricardo Carvalho understands the meaning of the word "incomprehensible"? He will at least understand the term "reserves" and "not in the first team this week Ric"...

Bottom of the world, bottom of the league.

In a shameless move to get myself off the bottom of the table, I've recruited a couple of antipodean extras to our super league. So please welcome CT -- who you've already heard from in uninivited posts on the blog -- and Geoff Goodwin. CT is a NZ native, currently living in sunny Pittsburgh, PA. Geoff is an aussie, a good man, and a useful target for the blog when England reclaim the ashes later in the summer.

Here's looking forward to Saturday when Bobby Zamora claims his first premiership hat-trick, and the Miracle of Istanbul kicks all of your respective arses.

Managerial genius.

Yesterday I swapped Carvalho out of my team; today cried like a baby to the press:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/4160386.stm

Can these events be related?

In any event, this is another sure sign of my managerial brilliance that has already seen me garner a full 22 points in one weekend. (At least until Carvalho starts playing regularly.) Incidentally, who the fuck is Bobby Zamora, and what is he doing in my team?

Meet the Yeungs.

Here's a recent photo, taken just after Liverpool swapped Michael Owen for Antonio Nunez. I'm the one with the big mouth. Jonny is the one comforting me.

Meet your foes

As the Chairman, I think it only proper to introduce the Yeungs to their competitors. So here they are. From left to right: Mitch, Rohit, Nic, Caro, Jon, and the Chairman.

As you can see, we were lining up the wall for a freekick....

Jim had already left the pitch by this time after a heated debate with the ref. But here he is after the post-game interview......




I don't have a picture of Trainis, but trust me - you're not missing anything!

Oh, and Nick Y you can tell CT to keep her trap shut or there'll be certain incriminating pictures of her floating around here very soon....

Wagers

In the spirit of Premiership football, are there high stakes on the Down the Line season? I am looking forward to visiting Pittsburgh and would appreciate any dollars that might be on offer.

How can a team managed by Rafa with Stevie G as captain be so rubbish?

...and I'm obviously referring to The Miracle of Istanbul rather than the Mighty Reds. Perhaps some general abuse will get my brother on-line. In football terms I think he is suffering from the Phil Neville syndrome...

Just a quick reminder for all those managers - those who support Spurs - who don't get to go to a cup final. This is what its like. And yes, those are my father's real teeth.

Dear Managers

I don't know if this is going to work - lets hope it does and we can have many hours of fun taking the piss out of my dad. And Jayne. With a fucking silent Y.

The Chairman
