Let's Make It Third Time Unlucky For Pablo

By Bill on Tuesday 11 July 2006 at 16:49

Yes, It's that time of the year again. We all get excited over the current transfer news (an influx of Italian players this year, I think). Billy picks his team to support (this year I'm sticking with the Toon). And we pledge to beat Pablo to the top of the Fantasy Premier League.

Normally, after a month, half of us have dropped out, stating “not enough time” as our reasons. Well this year, my brothers and sisters, I call for your ongoing support to defeat the evil, Portuguese sounding, Chelski supporting, bastard and stop Pablo from making it three in a row.

Most of you should have received an invite to the 'Connected League' by now (hope you don't mind me pinching the name, Mark). If not the code will appear here soon. Just type it in once you've registered your team.

Join up now! You can continue to make changes at no cost up until the first day of the Premier League.

COME ON! LETS MAKE IT A GOOD ONE!

It's no good, he's too powerful. We can never defeat him.

And I never used 'not enough time', I used 'cannot be arsed anymore' - there's a distinct difference.

Also I am very, very confused about the cod...

Anyway yeah, I'll sign up.

And also, I'd just like to say, Argyle are playing Real Madrid at the end of this month.

I never, never expected to say that. Ever.

it does sound a little bit pro-evo doesnt it but apparently true - something to do with Holloway, the bristol mafia and dubious hotel bookings I understand. Anyway, I'm just bitter - we have to settle for playing bury pre-season - away! Now I ask you, what the fuck is all that about?

Stu, we've talked about this before. Please try and use some element of your real name in your username, so we know who we all are.

The cod is 55714-15040.

New Rule. This year you can select Man Utd players in your team, just not Ronaldo. Anyone caught with him in their team will be deducted 15 points and banned from playing the 'Champions League' Fantasy game. Consistent use of the poncy twat will result in exclusion from the 'Connected League'.

The 'Connected League' is growing. It's good to Jack has joined up. I still want to see Dan, D, Al, Bar, Sarah, Neo, Mark and anyone else who might be reading. There might even be a trophy for the winner!

I'm already playing the “I can't be arsed” card. It'll save me twenty minutes or so of my life that I would have spent picking a team and then promptly realising I can't be arsed to login every week.

Actually I've changed my mind. I'm going to play. I think everyone else should to. Oh yes, I almost forgot. Isn't Bill looking dashing these days. I wish I could be just like him.

Um, would it be professional suicide for a girl like me, who knows very little about football, to play?! I'm considering.... on the bright side you lot can exult in the knowledge that none of you will be the ultimate loser if I play. I'm good to you all.

Its nice to see you roped Liz into playig this year Bill, or is it so you can secretly have 2 teams??

On Wednesday 19 July 2006 at 18:11, Stu said:

I agree. Bill is looking very dashing. Debonair (is that how you spell that?), some might say, what with that intelligent facial hair and everything.

Thank you, Matt and Stu. I find that by stroking it, whilst thinking, makes me appear thoughtful instead of stupid.

Get on, Racheal.

Dont woory Racheal OL always comes last for some reason

I'm a complete cock for faking a post using another name.

As if Matt even uses the word “dashing”. Ever.

I bet Ol does not incorporate my top quality losing team picking technique! I decided to pick a team mostly made up of stupid names e.g. Duff, Dickov and Yobo. If this team does not suck ass I am going to be very very disappointed.

On Friday 21 July 2006 at 09:05, billybean said:

Actually, Rach, that appears to be quite a good technique. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Sorry Bar. But I am rather dashing, don't you think?

Pablo... I didn't come last last year, that was bar. I'll accept that I came last for the world cup one cos then I was watching too much of it to be arsed about the fantasy thingy. Think I came fifth last time. So kiss it.... And Rachael's tactic of picking funny sounding names is a good un, I bet she finishes higher than me too. I'll have to do that next year. Anyways - I will win this year, or at least come in the top 3 - wipe the floor wit tha lotta yaaa. Hows that for cocky arrogance you stinkin mutha luvvaaaas??!!

Welcome aboard Andrew. You've got to get involved now, Bar.
