i'm in as well. hopefully this team i picked doesn't suck ass

8/13/2010 9:30:30 PM

I'm in both and will probably abandon all interest after the first few weeks...

OR MAYBE NOT.

8/13/2010 9:52:56 PM

It's fun.

8/13/2010 10:01:02 PM

Yeah, it's not so much about losing interest as it is about remembering to check the status, especially with my job schedule being so unpredictable.

8/13/2010 10:05:54 PM

me and cody always remembered to pick last year the night before the first game of the scheduled week.

8/14/2010 12:28:14 AM

I think we have 6 signed up on Barclay's site. I'm ready to get it going with Rooney at captain for the week.

8/14/2010 12:33:03 AM

can we get one last moment of silence for west brom before the season starts?

after intense deliberation, i have decided to make my triumphant return to fantasy futbol...i shall select my team shortly

this is the kind of shit i was talking about earlier in this thread i believe about city:

Quote :

"City manager Mancini has told Ireland, who has played for the club for his entire senior career, the time has come for him to move on to pastures new. "Stephen Ireland is a good player but he has been here all his life and he needs to change,'' said Mancini. "Sometimes it can happen that a player stays with the same squad for 15 years and plays well but a moment arrives when he needs to change. Now is time for him. I really think he can improve.'' Rather than pay Ireland £2million to leave, City would be more likely to up their transfer offer and buy Milner in a straightforward purchase. But Mancini said he is confident the transfer will go through as originally planned once Ireland considers his options over the weekend. "We need two or three more days with this situation,'' said the Italian. "It is right that everything goes well for everybody but I am confident it will be OK.''"

thats some total BS from mancini and once again they are gonna treat another long time City player like shit as they try to force Ireland out...

Quote :

"I really think he can improve.'"

then why get rid of him? some bs shit that would piss me off further if i were ireland.

not sure how anyone can like this team as they are demonstrating nothing but piss poor management and class...i dont blame ireland asking for more money on the way out. hes obv not gonna get the same contract as he would at aston villa if he ends up there, so he wants the money he is due. man city are gonna spend a shitload of fuckin money in the next 5 years...this is gonna be retarded as hell

ive played both fantasy sites that are listed up here and found that this one is def more fun. no offense to you other guys playing the barclays one..had i not played it before i would be trying it out too. but i just found that it got boring on that site quickly. not as much things you can score points off of.

[Edited on August 14, 2010 at 6:35 AM. Reason : edit]


holy shit my team has the possibility of being epically bad or epically great...depends on if some of my "gambles" actually start

8/14/2010 6:35:15 AM

oh we back

8/14/2010 7:54:23 AM

Spurs could have scored three times already 17 minutes in if Hart wasn't standing on his fucking head.

8/14/2010 8:05:48 AM

seriously, that reaction save on defoe was brilliant

8/14/2010 8:06:47 AM

joe hart has been so good this game. same with gareth bale, almost a goal there

8/14/2010 8:18:52 AM

HOLY FUCK SCORE ALREADY SPURS!

this is getting ridiculous

[Edited on August 14, 2010 at 8:20 AM. Reason : There is some sort of invisible forcefield around this goal. It could be 5-0 right now]

8/14/2010 8:18:56 AM

outside of joe hart, man city has looked pretty shitty.

its hilarious when the ref is talking to tevez, he probably understands 10 percent of what the ref is saying

8/14/2010 8:21:16 AM

Defoe should've squared that ball to Crouch instead of shooting himself.

8/14/2010 8:22:44 AM

yaya toure has been awful

8/14/2010 8:24:03 AM

Citeh has been awful.

8/14/2010 8:25:30 AM

I really like those Spurs jerseys

8/14/2010 8:33:17 AM

If Aaron Lennon were half as good as Gareth Bale, England would be great.

8/14/2010 8:34:27 AM

Coffee brewed. Dog walked. Time to settle in and be a bum until 2pm today. Definitely a fast-paced first half. Gareth Bale was, by far, the best player on the pitch in the first half.

I should hate Spurs being a West Ham supporter and all (and the fact that they are my brother's favorite team SOLELY because he researched who West Ham fans hate the most in the EPL) but I find myself liking them and I like Redknapp.

Also, I'm so glad I get FSC-HD and Gol-HD now. Can't go back to SD after the World Cup.

8/14/2010 8:49:28 AM

Balotelli most likely won't make his debut until the Liverpool match. We could obviously use his attacking presence in the second half.

8/14/2010 8:49:54 AM

wow tottenham sleeping

haha, swp vs peter crouch, good luck marking him

[Edited on August 14, 2010 at 8:53 AM. Reason : z]

8/14/2010 8:51:46 AM

Crouch just did a full backflip haha

He was nasty, but Hart outdid him that first 45

8/14/2010 8:56:14 AM

at least City is dominating possession

8/14/2010 8:57:03 AM

Possession doesn't mean shit if you aren't doing anything with it. City is getting used at every opportunity.

8/14/2010 9:02:17 AM

^

8/14/2010 9:06:01 AM

someone finally makes a run toward goal

8/14/2010 9:07:38 AM

man city need to bring on adebayor or somebody, it's just 8 guys making slow passes around the box, theyll never score like that

8/14/2010 9:14:50 AM

Tottenham need to score soon. They've played too well to not take full points from this match.

[Edited on August 14, 2010 at 9:16 AM. Reason : holy shit that was close]

8/14/2010 9:16:33 AM

almost shades of Argentina vs. Mexico for Tevez

8/14/2010 9:17:06 AM

fucking shit!

One of these has to get by eventually...

8/14/2010 9:18:13 AM

Pavs goin for the home runs there

8/14/2010 9:18:22 AM

Adebaywhore on for Judas

[Edited on August 14, 2010 at 9:29 AM. Reason : DAMN IT BALE]

8/14/2010 9:28:32 AM

Kompany may have made the best tackle of the season in the first game of the season.

8/14/2010 9:33:28 AM

more like Gareth FAIL amirite

8/14/2010 9:34:21 AM

8/14/2010 9:37:32 AM

LOL

8/14/2010 9:38:20 AM

hahahah

8/14/2010 9:40:49 AM

City (except for Hart) looked inept the duration of the game.


They lost steam and lost direction near the end, they had no clue what to do or what was going on. I can't wait to see this team fail.

8/14/2010 9:41:17 AM

Sucks Spurs didn't get 3 there

One of those seemingly millions of opportunities has to find the back of the net in the first half.

[Edited on August 14, 2010 at 9:42 AM. Reason : .]

8/14/2010 9:42:18 AM

mancini is a dumbo for starting 3 defensive midfielders (yaya, barry and de jong). they created no real offensive chances and were incredibly lucky to draw.

tottenham should feel like crap for not winning that game. hart was awesome in goal, but they still shouldve scored about 3 times.

8/14/2010 9:43:17 AM

^ u right

So when do the scores appear in the Yahoo fantasy league?

oh well, Hilario won't lose me any points.

West Ham United.

8/14/2010 10:14:28 AM

BLACKPOOL!

8/14/2010 10:17:38 AM

villa up 1 on a maybe offside goal by downing. ashley young almost scored on an awesome goal flicking it over green, but he just got a tip on it.

8/14/2010 10:21:29 AM

West Ham look fucking terrible so far.

8/14/2010 10:22:55 AM

too bad my Blackpool feed has the Fulham audio :-/
