Morning chaps, been a late one after a few beverages hence I’m still up at stupid o’clock. Well I’ve had a most entertaining hour or so reading all of the comments in this article – I never normally do this but after seeing Init’s post above, my curiosity got the better of me. As pretty much everyone else other than Deano seemed to do as well, I must say I found the whole thing rather bizarre.
There are NO obligations from anyone to anyone here – the site runners and contributors give up countless hours of their own time to help the community with both articles and advice, WITHOUT asking for a single thing back. Not only are there no fees and full access to everyone, I haven’t even seen the usual ‘Donate’ button anywhere. I have no idea if the owners make anything from ads or not; like Bob said I doubt it, but even if so they deserve it in my book. So to say they should be here during match-time because it’s what the members deserve (or words to that effect) is crazy. For people with lives, the weekend is usually not free! (not that all of you fine posters from today don’t have lives… :manic: ) People go out, catch up with family, or could actually be at one of the grounds watching the football and therefore be unable to post. And also, during matchday people are hardly after advice anyway! It’s mostly commenting on the games and how well or shit their teams are doing, so no huge need for the ‘experts’ to be on hand during these times (and from memory they often are anyway).
So don’t want to beat a dead horse (or however the hell that goes, it’s late), just giving my two cents. Have to say haven’t had an issue with the guy until now. He’s clearly confrontational, but I like debates and we had a good one the other day. This was just ridiculous though.
And in the off-chance you see this Burnsy, your post made me chuckle as I was skimming through
I would indeed be mortified if Clyne was responsible for my demise. I’d have to think up a new name, make a new grav, pretty much just rethink life in general!
Hi mate.
Yes, strange day indeed.
Please tell me how did we do in the doubles today?
Then get to bed!
I think I just answered your question
Eyes getting droopy, catch you tomorrow.
You did indeed! Nice one!
Speak later mate.
Chins fella, I didnt know youve moved to the States!? Im pleased the games work well for you there timing wise, they are aweful in NZ! Just add (give or take) 12 hours! How did you go today?
PS What page do I need to find to read about the nutter Init was talking about? Im curious now!
Alex, think its about page 16, on this article.
PVR/Bo Selcta! Hows things mate? You have a good week?
Hi Alex,
Wow, that is some bad timing for watching some football. Do you get to see any games at all?
No wonder you spent last season copying my team! You clearly had nothing else to go on! 😉
Not a great start but certainly not terrible. 37 i think, with 5 to play. But that includes Colocini, so my score could actually go down if last seasons scoring machines turn up!
Siggy on the bench though. Oh well. Gives me something to imrove on thats for sure.
How about you? Wait, what am i saying?! 37 too right?
Let’s have it clyney?
You know I had a feeling Winter Is Coming would be your team haha. Gonna be a close one.
Calvin Clyne just had to +1 this post. Totally agree.
Well said mate!
Things are good mate, its great to finally be back into things. Team went pretty ave tho, davies and chambers let me down, and baird nd bruce arent any better. Captained costa so hoping for things. No sigs in my team, but still got jovetic, Sterling, filipe, and Costa to play.
29 pts :/
Did anyone get a good look at how Lukaku and Giroud played? I have Giroud but I want to boot him.
I’m going to monitor Pelle in his game because if he performs against pool, he will be great in his other fixtures that are coming up.
Makeya
Lukaku didn’t look especially good yesterday but it is just the first game of the season. Giroud came on as sub and flashed one shot/cross late on. I think he may start next week v Everton which would be the perfect chance for you to see both players.
Wouldn’t rush out to make quick transfers just yet.
Pelle could well be a top fantasy player but he may also need time to settle to the league.
Morning and good luck for today everyone! Guess a few are rooting for
some Sturridge magic? Sterling for me and that’s it for today
Morning Cookster. Just Lovren playing for me today and hopefully the Chelski sort out my gwk tomorrow! Haha. Good luck to you too buddy.
Cooke
Morning. I have Sterling and Forster today. My head may explode.
GP – Morning mate. Nice start for you! Long may it continue 😉
NIN
Thanks yeah I’m very happy for an opening day.
You’ll be hoping for a Chelsea extravaganza tomorrow!
GP – Big time! Haha. Woeful week so far for me. Might just get Siggy off the bench yet 😉 The United match is still horrifying me!
Cookie – How many points have you racked up mate? Your team link doesn’t seem to be working for me…
Sorry NIN only just seen this – 41 so far
Hey lads, yeah what will be will be – marathon not a sprint and all
that!!
Be interesting to see how City go too
NIN, Cooks, GP, How are we lads? Been an interesting opening day ay! The big PL story on the sports news over here (and this is after rugby, league, boxing and, I kid you not, women’s golf!) is that Chris Wood scored! Oh and something about United losing!?
Just seen the sport on the news haha, showed woods amazing goal about twenty times!
PVR, probably the one and only time Wolves will get mentioned over here! You sorted Twitter yet!?
NZ – Horrible day for United fans, that’s for sure. I haven’t a clue who this Woods chap is! Ha.
NIN, join the club! I had Chester on the bench AND don’t have Siggy so try and shoehorn him in to my team! Thoughts on being worth a 4PH? He scored the equaliser for Leicester after coming on 5 minutes before and was meant to be sold to Wolves earlier this week!
So overall ranking almost 600k. Ouch ouch ouch. Bad start
Morning TD, try 885k! Oh dear haha. Feck it, as Cookie said, t’is a marathon.
thats what I telling myself NIN. Van AAnholt (first sub) and Siggy (second) would have made a big difference. Bloody Baird coming on for 14 mins.
I see you have Siggy smiling at you from the bench too
Yeah mate, quite a few surprises yesterday! At least our subs are performing i suppose. Still cant believe United lost though, really weak performance.
Id a bet on United at half time/full time. Fully expected them to win
TheDreamers,
How you doing mate?
Watched VanA closely yesterday. Going to get him in my team definitely. Looked really good. Not the best defense yet at Sunderland, but he looked really attacking and actually very assured on the ball in the opponents box for a left back.
the bonus points seem a bit weird in some games. O Brien gets 2 whereas Hangeland gets zero.
