If you look at the AMR, you'll see I've sent Sonic to the pub to get the first round in. Or done a Cantana. What? with your dodgy kness/legs?

What? with your dodgy kness/legs? Well I am expecting a landing pad when the take-off occurs. Knees.

Me too I guess. And I'm a goalie too so take the hint Moo. Good grief we're awash with keepers, That was the position I played for the last 14 seasons of my footballing life. (Between the ages of 28 to 44). The prior years I could play anywhere in defence or midfield, though right or left back were my preferred positions. Coffers a fullback? That explains why he's so good at FM. SpInG doesn't believe he exists. Meanwhile, I played football on Tuesday night and got into a laughable fight with some plank who forgot it was a friendly game and thought he was trying to avoid relegation or something. After cutting my ankle open by going in studs-first he later went in with a diving thigh-high challenge that got me right in the middle of the muscle on the front of the thigh. In a sunday morning game I wouldn't have minded so much, because you can either get some protection from the ref or you can have a quiet word yourself, but in a fun kickabout, what's the point? So I got a little annoyed, barged him a few times in challenges and then when he turned away from a defender with the ball right in front of me I made a very poorly timed™ challenge kicking the guys heels away. He wasn't too pleased at that, but about ten minutes later he was sprinting for a loose ball, looking at the defender who was the other side of him and didn't see me about to put all my weight into a shoulder-to-shoulder challenge, which ended up looking a lot like a hockey check as he went flying off his feet and landed in a big heap. He got up and there was some push and shove while people "held us back" when in fact I spent most of the time laughing about how ridiculous the whole thing was. For the rest of the game he went and played on their left though, as far away as possible from our left where I was. I've had a dead leg for a couple of days and you can almost read adidas backwards on my shin from the bottom of his boot, which is nice. There's another game tonight.

You need to point Pops in this direction. Even though he won't be able to predict England to lose 17-4, he can still join in.

Note the deliberate mistake, 44-28 =16, but I spent 2 of the 16 years not playing due to a knee injury during that period.

Just stumbled in. Not so quick on the uptake these days since I stopped taking my Omega 3.
I'm in.
What is it?

Nice work.
The scores predictor thingie where you usually have Engerland to be thwacked by an eight goal margin. Unfortnuately, they aren't there this time around, so you might have to take it more seriously this time.
And yes, yes, yes, i know I haven't sorted this yet. I'll get on it tonight and tomorrow. Possibly.

I've updated the 2nd post, so that you can see the schedule.
Any questions, give me a shout in here, in case others are thinking they are as stupid as you.

Arse! I thought this was the one where you rank the teams from 1 to 16 and you get their points * your ranking of them.
This one's harder. Boo!

Moo: You have PM's for phases 1a & 1b.
I haven't got a clue about whose bad and good on the international scene these days, so I pretty much expect to come last.
Oh and I'm also crap at score predicting.

Count me in please moo, and can I also be the keeper, as that is what position I've been playing in since middle school, (and cause I'm fat and can't run very fast)

Post by Moo on May 28, 2008 8:35:34 GMT
Yes you can join in and no you can't be keeper. you're a sub.
Yes, I know we only have ten on the pitch.

(and cause I'm fat and can't run very fast) That description probably fits 60% of the people posting on here. Well me anyway.
