Who are you? Who are you? Fantasy manager profiles Part 10
Here at FF247 towers we’ve often wondered… how many manager profiles it takes to fill an international break. A lot apparently! We shall be back to normal on Monday with Fixtures, Tips, Capos and Team Talk etc and we may have an Interview with a top 100 ranked player over the weekend but until then… Back to the profiles!
Next up to the examination table are the young and the (semi) old. A contrast indeed as we warmly welcome billisBob and Potty.

Just to clarify veterinarian is meant to be vegetarian!!!
cool to see I’m now published – really have found all these very interesting and I think it’s cool to sort of know the people we chat to a bit better!
Unlucky with the final results on the awards – amazing to get so far though, especially considering how young the site is!! 😮
hope all is well lads,
billisbob
Billis – is Raymond even running still?
Nice one with the article.
Unfortunately yeah, channel 4 in the morning, American crap comedy. :p
Iv got a mate from Vegetinaria! Haaaahaaa
Billis & Potty
Great read boys thank you.
Potty, you really like haggis or was that for your pal’s benefit? If so, I’m touched.
Evening everyone. Hope you are all well.
Gee Pee
Yes I adore Haggis as its taste is unique
Only thing I like about you Savage’s
Potty
Nice article Potty. How’s the blog going?
I’ve stalled it for now til my health has an upturn.
Planning my 2nd FPL Captain Blog for next Friday
Anyone fancy an insight into my world please look at
http://pottyprockysworld.blogspot.com
Comment please if you would
Potty
Hope your health improves Potty
Potty
I know you love me so that’s two things pard’ner. . . . .
Great job with the interview Bob and Potty!! I really like these and they’re great fun while we wait for the league matches to resume.
Bob, you’re a top FPL player and you always have great advice. I’m curious to know what your hair looked like before your parents made you chop it off!
And Potty, it was interesting to read about your football past and the different teams and trials you had. It makes me curious who else has played football beyond their school years, I wonder if we’ve any ex or current professional players who like FPL and post here…
Anyway, nice job fellas those were great interviews!
Red – meant to ask. Why Brick top?
Haha, no real reason Dreamers. I like the movie Snatch so I just picked him to use for an avatar at the old FFC site and have stuck with it since then. Been thinking about changing it up at some point though, just haven’t gotten around to it!
Good as any reason Red. Class film.
RedVt
The trials I had were bloody expensive
All in all about £2,800 in fines,18 months in 2 HMP ( Wales and Manchester), plus 400 days of Community Service spanning 6 years,the plus side of all of this is…..I shower alone and i love painting.
Potty
Red, i asked this question last week i think, i was wondering if any professional footballers were posting about fantasy footy.
Elle, I bet there are a few that stop by. There aren’t that many decent FPL sites/forums really, and this one is top drawer. If they don’t come around their fantasy team probably blows.
haha do you wanna see?
It’s nothing much really but I just hate short hair, and my parents don’t love my long hair!
It’s basically a mop. Right out f the 70’s.
Evening all.
Great write up Bob and Potty, some cracking stuff in there. Potty, you sure it was the pig’s penis you ate and not the leper’s?
And Bob, tell us more about this “irrational passion”!!
Cookie
The pigs penis was eatan after a full day on the Malaysian pop.
I bought it from a grubby back street food stall.
It was at least 7″ in length but rather gristly, it was smoked too.
Potty
Should of put some mayo on it Potty.
Ok Cookster, did you see the captions to the photos mate ?
Seen 2 Elle, were there more?
No mate just those, i’m offski catch you tomorrow no doubt.
Night Elle, happy nicking
I’ll be of out in about an hour, doing a warehouse tonight, i’m the getaway driver, easy peasy. Keep schtum when Basher is about though?
caring waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much about our school matches.
I play out of school too, which is even worse as I literally just had a two-year winnless streak. It ruined my weekends for many weeks tbh…
but i mean, football’s football, and why shouldn’t you care?
I do run to much tho – I’m wrecked after every match!!
Oh, and teaching a referee offside (and getting a yellow card for it) may have also been a factor!! lol
Haha good skills Bob! Better to care too much than not at all. Keep that mentality and you’ll go far mate.
For those it may concern,
Steven Fletcher left the play at 55 mins tonight with what looked like a minor injury.
GP, is that your go at doing Team Talk?! :hippo:
Cookie
That’s it covered :p
Love the write ups 2 bob & Potty – golden effort boys
Thanks farqs
Thing is I never bloody lied its all true
Potty I know
Potty
