Jeff please send your picks to bocadillo.

I'm going to change those buggers; it's the only chance I have of catching him up.

At least my opponent is going to turn up for this, unlike some of my recent ones. Do they see the fixture list and just resign themselves to losing so they don't bother? If I was in their situation I'd try extra hard against the leaders.

I only wish they would. Look at my Goals Against and compare it with yours.

One of the reasons my goals against is so good is because I haven't had to play against myself.

In the last 10 games I think only me and Gaz have actually given you a game.
Had Blackburn only hung on.:icon_sad:

 

[DesertFox]

One of the reasons my goals against is so good is because I constantly play with myself.

Interesting tactic. Hasn't worked so well for me yet.

[Blue Maniac]

Please remember, everyone, that now is the time of year when we're starting to see matches postponed or abandoned due to weather. Several non-league and FA Trophy games have been called off this week, and Portsmouth v Wycombe was abandoned due to a thunder storm. It might make sense, if you're picking a number of lower league clubs among your picks, to name a couple of reserves in case some need replacing.

 

[Motown Fox]

So we came name the "reserves" at the same time then.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Yes. With you it could get confusing, since your picks come in two or three batches :icon_wink

 

[bocadillo]

With you it could get confusing...

A massive understatement, in my experience.

Are we allowed to pick rugby teams now?

 

[Blue Maniac]

Are we allowed to pick rugby teams now?

Ah, bollocks. It's the SPFL renaming that's put that word in my head.

 

[Jeff]

Needham Markey?



Shambles. You should be docked 50 points from this weeks score. Not that I'm worried or anything...

I'm 100% sure I can't cheat. I sent my picks Monday.

He did.

 

[Jeff]

I'm 100% sure I can't cheat.

So am I. But I think you should be docked points for spelling a team's name incorrectly in the fixture list. Not the first time you've done it. I think it's deliberate, just to upset the pedants and put us off our game.

I bet someone will read that and think I'm being serious...
