As it happens, this so nearly became a reality

Everton 2 - 1 Wigan

Better but, unfortunately, still feeble. Frankly, the international break couldn't come soon enough.

I might go for that actually. I'll drop you a line if I'm definitely up for it.

I'm in if we get enough people together.

Bulldog · 08-31-2009, 04:16 PM

Might as well put my name down for it too.

How many people do we need on board for this to work? It's been years since I last gave this kinda thing a go after all.

I have no idea. I imagine there is a minimum amount of folks required to set a league up. If there isnt then I would say realistically we would need at LEAST 4 to make it worth our while, although ideally it would be 6 or more.

I'm in if there's enough troops. I'm terrible with fantasy leagues though.

On a different note, it's the best day of the season! I want to see more Notts County related madness.

Mojo · 09-01-2009, 04:06 PM

So is 4 enough or do we need more?

Kind of a disappointing deadline day today! I was holding out for some big transfers and then nothing really seemed to happen. We lost a far few though, more than I was expecting.

I'm just pissed off that instead of going for a good striker which is what we blatantly need Martinez is intent on some dodgy Swansea midfielder. With that in mind, why the fuck did he let Henri Camara go?

And for the record Mohamed Diame is the worst signing since Steve McClaren's England contract.

EDIT - I think 4 can make a league. Don't take my word for it though.

Yeah you lot haven't really seemed to do much business and I think you could do with it.

We've made some good signings but i'm surprised we've let so many go whether we've sold them or loaned them. Most of them are expendable though so i'm not too arsed but i didn't think he would sell Collins.

Chelsea have been caught doing this crap before, so they deserve it for continuing to be mongs about their transfers. I hope it does stand though since most of the big clubs do this stuff but just don't get caught.
