After two games, the standings are thus: Team Name ..... CRP.. ESP.. Pts 1 The Party Cinos ..11 ...3... 17 2 Arthritic Gadgies .8 ...3....14 3 Milburn FC ....... 8 ...2....12 4 Hnunga Gimps.... 10... 1... 12 5 Warnockicide.... 8... 1... 10
Week 3 is showing some "interesting" international games. And it isn't too late to join in either. 10 points is easily attainable in a couple of weeks.

At last, I get to my true level. Fricking West Ham. I really need to try and get over my lack of willingness to predict a Cellik win.

Pops - I'll let you into a secret... I always put them for a draw, as I can never convince myself that a win for them is going to be a good thing. I'll let you go for a draw, i won't tell anyone.
As for the table, it can get very tight, Coffers. I was in one a couple of years ago where there were only five players like this one and we were like this up unti labout november. Then one of the lads hit six scores and three results in one week and we took a big lead. He did the same around about February and it just seemed like an impossible task to catch him.

I'm liking this, and can see me crashing and burning after half the season is completed Pity I didn't get to do the confidence thing. I always never leave myself time for it. Who's Wanockicide? They seemed to be fairly consistent.

Warnockicide is Hornet. He doesn't like the Sheff Utd manager very much.

I heard Warnock on a podcast the other day and he actually sounded like an OK guy. He even admitted Sheffield United play awful football, saying that there's no much else he can do given the inability of his players which made me grin.

The (half decent) football magazine When Saturday Comes has a pre-season fan fest each year and the Sheffield United fans seemed ok, much to my chagrin.
First off, their most disliked person in football was Steve Bruce because he'd "blame someone else if he lost at solitaire." Anyone who doesn't like Steve Bruce is fine with me. Secondly, when asked where they'd finish this year, they answered "Top 17."

My dad's sister's family are all big Sheffield United fans, and they are very nice people, so I find myself wanting them to do well most of the time. Top 17 is a good target...

I have an aversion to Yorkshire, because I lived there for four years and it depressed me. I had to turn to beer to cheer me up.

You should have lived in Middlesbrough where you would have been shown the error of your ways, then you could have been really depressed.

Huddersfield, Coffers. A student town if ever there was one and all the locals hated us. Like i was bothered.

Huddersfield, that's the back end of beyond and near Halifax to boot. Funny buggers down there, they're all southerners or something.
I think that's the same for students wherever you go; the locals always hate layabout drunken students.

I was a student in Aberdeen and there was an "incident" when an English first year went into a local bar, a fisherman's bar to boot, and asked for a white wine spritzer.
Brrr.

I was a student in Aberdeen and there was an "incident" when an English first year went into a local bar, a fisherman's bar to boot, and asked for a white wine spritzer. Brrr. Class. What A Poof! When I lived down south, Basingstoke to be precise, I went into a rough local bar with a mate, and ordered a round. Guinness for me and a Brown Ale with a Glace Cherry on top for my mate. The barman sneeringly asked in a loud voice, " What sort of Puff wants a cherry with a Brown Ale?" The entire bar of rough necks looked around as my mate stood up and announced "Me! I like cherries! Anyone got a fooking problem with that?" The entire bar turned back to drinking their pints, muttering under their breath. Said mate was 6' 7" and about 18 stone of solid muscle and clenched fists. I recall saying to the barman something like, "I think you can forget about any fooking tips for tonight, apart from keep your voice down in future".

To be fair, why the fook would you want a glacé cherry in a bottle of Brown Ale? That's just sick.

Not in a bottle, on a cocktail stick balanced on top of the half pint glass that he insisted on, he didn't stir it or anything.
To be fair I think he pulled that stunt in rough pubs more to get a reaction, he liked seeing so called hard cases backing down, which they always did.

Out of interest Moo, did the BTB forum on TD die? It hasn't been posted in for a while.
