Just renewing the Fantasy Premier League for all those interested. It ran very close last year with first, second and third changing nearly weekly.

The code to join is 46w2mc - https://fantasy.premierleague.com/

The summer is nearly gone. You'd missed the oul football, didn't you? I know that there was the Women's World Cup, The African Nations Cup and the Copa America but I mean real football. Proper football. Not that any of the aforementioned aren't great, of course but I'm talking the football where you know 80% of the players at least.

Coutinho wondering what happened to his career as himself and Eric Lamela try to pull in a Sheffield Wetherspoons after drawing with 1-1 with the Blades.

Jack Cork toe-poking the ball out of the mud on a pissing rain Tuesday night in December at Turf Moor.

Steve Bruce looking like your uncle whose wife has just left him but who still turns up at a wedding - every weekend.

Arsenal supporters chanting that they're going to win the Premiership in November and by March looking at hotels in Azerbaijan while they hoping they'll make the Europa League.

Rafa Benitez swooping in like Batman to save some relegation threatened club.

Newcastle supporters sending up the Rafa-signal.

Fellas telling you they have always, ALWAYS! followed Man City. 

Lampard getting a bollocking from Chelsea supporters while John Terry hangs around their dressing room in his manager's suit in case they win anything.

Spurs fans shitting themselves that Pochettino will leave.

Man Utd fans shitting themselves that Solskjær will stay.

Jurgen Klopp doing the electric boogaloo in the technical area after hearing there's 4 minutes of extra time.

All the things that make football great.


I'm thoroughly looking forward to it myself, I always complain every year saying the game is gone to shit and then suffer from withdrawals during the summer

Same here. Pre-seasonal affect disorder.

Liverpool kept me occupied for longer than usual this season - thank fuck they won something.

No doubt at some point around Christmas, I'll be fed up of the whole thing until late January (after the transfer window closes) and then the love will come back.

How wrong I was.

Just a heads up - unlimited free transfers until 1700hrs. The league is tight at the top. 3 teams within touching (social) distance.


Ah sound, I didn't know about that. No fear of course of any of the other cunts in my league giving me the heads up1


Grand, can't wait to fail miserably again this year

Link for anyone interested.

Never did one before. So I signed up, but how do I join this particular one?

Once you have your own team picked, you can join by clicking the link. Also, for those in it last year there should be a renew leagues option under the Leagues tab. Failing that, Stout and Ale will have a code you can type in.

Any forfeits?

A great idea that is sure to add a bit of spice to the bottom of the league. We should get brainstorming. Hopefully it isn't the russian breakfast!

Got.in. hope that isn't my team for the year?  :laugh:

Right fuck it I've never played fantasy football ever before but I told a few lads I'd give it a go if a league turned up here.  Suppose i'll figure it out so

What's with all the strikers listed in the midfield category?
Wearing jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes

Never did this before..obsessed at the moment. Had to do a load of transferring yesterday to get Calvert Lewin in the team. Gets a hattrick today..nice!
