[belboid]

your cup opponents havent signed up (having been relegated) again, the shame or summat, so you win by default, like innit.

they've all had pms apart from: Gwylannen kernewek, Cymru XI, Teddys Tigers

aah well, fuck the welsh, eh

(GK was Dr Christmas I think)

Proper Bo.

 

[flimsier]

Give it to Herr null belboid, else he/ she will have nothing at all to play for due to starting late.

 

[wire thing]

bloody nora I'm second in div 1!!!!!

How did that happen!!

 

[Kevicious]

ummm, is there a cup competition? Am I in it?

doesn't the world move fast these days?

 

[belboid]

Southcoast Splitters? you miss the first round due to your league placing, and will join in in round two.

tho given those teams suddenly disapeared the first round could virtually be scrapped. just have herr null play irn cru - for being a cheeky bastard & entering both divisions

 

[ernestolynch]

Can someone put up the URLs for both divs please as this div can't find them.

Ta.

I just noticed summat - Malbranque, captain, is there fiddling going on?

 

[easy g]

is that at me ernie!!

aye i had malbranque as cap'n cos I dodn't get chance to change my team from last week

and yeah it would be interesting to see wot's going on in the 'top' divvie

 

[ernestolynch]

Yeah you see I was on the site at around 4.45pm yesterday waiting for the updated points and I'm sure your captain changed from Owen (or was it Henry) to Malbranque which meant you got another 9pts...did you flick it over before the update?

Fair play if you did, but a bit shifty, no?

 

[easy g]

no....it was still on Malbranque from last week...honest (cos Fulham played twice last week...)

I was going through some personal shit yesterday morning and clean forgot about fantasy footy till about 1pm

I thought that about my team a few weeks ago, and now I'm scrapping for points in mid-table. Be warned. It's a marathon not a sprint, the Christmas period is important, etc, etc.

 

[butchersapron]

Aye i know - that's why i'm trying to get my gloating in now whilst i can!

 

[Epico]

It's a shame there are still some teams missing in Div2.

Come on you Panthers!!!!

 

[past caring]

past caring in transfer shocker!! Didn't want to do it, but with Woodgate, Wright-Phillips and Savage all injured or suspended, it had to happen. So Savage out, Beasant in for Crossley and the 1.5 profit is enough to bring in Izzet. Don't even have to drop a place.

 

[flimsier]

I would be mid table in Div 2...?! Arrghh!

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

God I'm going to have to pay more attention to this. Cup competitions and everything that i didn't know about. I should start making some restructuring to the squad too!

 

[belboid]

Aaargghhh, wel I've just realised that I'm away for Game week12 results, and wont be back till after G13. Will quite happily recompile the scores upon my return, but if someone else wants to break the excitement early, how could i refuse (i'm thru on a bye anyway, so what do i care)

just a reminder of who is actually playing this weekend:

Arsey Whingers v Ultraworld AFC
The Dorset Knobs v InterTwoBob FC
irn Cru v Everywhens
Super Tottenham v Wildcat FC

[easy g]

erm...how does all this cup thing work then??

 

[belboid]

oddly enough, as simply as i could make it!

points scored for the two teams in that gameweek and that gameweek alone - any points dedecuted from the main comp for substitutions etc are irrelevant here.

in the case of a draw, replays to be held in gw14.

i think it's on a roughly 6 gameweek cycle, if i remember rightly. tho it might have been 5....

 

[Winston Legthigh]

this probably won't last very long, so please ignore me whilst I milk a tiny drip of success out of my pathetic life....

TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sings: Top of the League, Top of the League,
Top of the, Top of the, Top of the
LEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA-GGUUUUUUUUE!!!!!!!!!!

and I'm done.

 

[Relahni]

I might have got this wrong but I think I'm through to the next round of the cup! <faints in disbelief>

Still in a dog fight in Div 2 though!

 

[easy g]

even with a respectable 49 points this week I still get knocked out of the cup

 

[ernestolynch]

Anyone putting up the cup results then?

 

[belboid]

forgot about them there internatinal thingies, so i am back before g13, so here's the complete cup round up:

44 Arsey Whingers v Ultraworld AFC 36
49 The Dorset Knobs v InterTwoBob FC 60
33 Irn Cru v Everywhens 61
51 Super Tottenham v Wildcat FC 48
49 Dinamo Pwllheli v Red Star Rude Boys 42
40 VS Relahni v The Yellows 38

so congrats ernie, proble the cup upset of round 1, & bad luck to the dorset knobs, beaten in what looks like the tie of the first round.

round two draw - with everyone left involved, to be made later today. probably

 

[ernestolynch]

Yes! Result! Giantkillers! Are the Red Star Rude Boys any good then?

 

[belboid]

up to fifth in div 1 - after narrowly avoiding being relegated at the split
