1) Transfers have died down, did you do enough to be up there at the end? Yes I think so, still always looking to improve but the main part of my team I am very happy with

2) With teams fairly well supplied with talent, have you decided how your team will set up? Will you be offensive, or defensive for example? I have some talented attacking players, Kroos and Falcao in particular, I would say Lyon have a good mix and can playe both formats

3) Who would you say is your best player? Will they be leading your team out as captain? Not going into who is my best player, that is for others to decide..For captain I have chosen Claudio Marchisio, who will be a mainstay of my team and has shown great leadership qualities since his arrival, Hugo Lloris will be vice captain

4) Look at the team directly below you in the league list, have they got a chance against you? (Bottom of the leagues look at the top of their league).Ill come back to this one

5) Sponsorship deals have been found and signed, are you happy with yours? Yup

6) All teams were offered two choices, why did you reject the other option? I only gave myself one as my chairman couldnt be bothered looking for another one

7) Earlier in the Media Pages I asked who the best striker was, now let's find the best CM. Who is the best CM in the league? Do you have or want him? Claudio Marchisio is mine other thatn that Arturo Vidal

8) Football boots came in for some criticism last week for being flimsy, could you think of a protective element to compensate for weak boots? Lead lined socks for example...Steel toe caps

9) Well, I suggested Spain looked set to dominate for 10-15 years, looks like I'm wrong. But do GB have a chance of a medal now the Spanish are out? lol no

And finally, 10) A few children were having anagram based fun with some footballing names, for example: Alex Ferguson = $ex Organ Fuel. Can you make any funny names for your team?
Not really

I want a couple more players in, but im happy with what i have currently

2) With teams fairly well supplied with talent, have you decided how your team will set up? Will you be offensive, or defensive for example?
ill be going with my tried and tested 4231

3) Who would you say is your best player? Will they be leading your team out as captain?

4) Look at the team directly below you in the league list, have they got a chance against you? (Bottom of the leagues look at the top of their league).
Well they have messi, so they always have a chance, but they also have quite a few weaknesses that i can exploit

5) Sponsorship deals have been found and signed, are you happy with yours?
Yeah

6) All teams were offered two choices, why did you reject the other option?
Network rail offered more money overall

7) Earlier in the Media Pages I asked who the best striker was, now let's find the best CM. Who is the best CM in the league? Do you have or want him?
for me it would be iniesta, although i will be playing him in a more advanced role

8) Football boots came in for some criticism last week for being flimsy, could you think of a protective element to compensate for weak boots? Lead lined socks for example...
retractable studs, so if you decide to make a reckless challenge, your feet take more damage than the opponent

9) Well, I suggested Spain looked set to dominate for 10-15 years, looks like I'm wrong. But do GB have a chance of a medal now the Spanish are out?
no

I have a top CF in mind, and once I strengthen that.
2) With teams fairly well supplied with talent, have you decided how your team will set up? Will you be offensive, or defensive for example?
Goals goals goals
3) Who would you say is your best player? Will they be leading your team out as captain?
Ronny, yes.
4) Look at the team directly below you in the league list, have they got a chance against you? (Bottom of the leagues look at the top of their league).
Spurs have a quality side, and it would probably be a very close game. One would hope Ronaldo could turn something special on and make the difference.
5) Sponsorship deals have been found and signed, are you happy with yours?
Quite.
6) All teams were offered two choices, why did you reject the other option?
More cash upfront.
7) Earlier in the Media Pages I asked who the best striker was, now let's find the best CM. Who is the best CM in the league? Do you have or want him?
Xavi. Yes. Yes.
8) Football boots came in for some criticism last week for being flimsy, could you think of a protective element to compensate for weak boots? Lead lined socks for example...
Charlie Adam repellent.
9) Well, I suggested Spain looked set to dominate for 10-15 years, looks like I'm wrong. But do GB have a chance of a medal now the Spanish are out?
Yeah, no.

1) Transfers have died down, did you do enough to be up there at the end?

Hopefully, think I may well have the best central midfield pairing. Let's see how others rate it though.

2) With teams fairly well supplied with talent, have you decided how your team will set up? Will you be offensive, or defensive for example?

Full out offensive, there's no place for sitting back in this league. Weaknesses can be found in defence, not attack so we need to exploit these flaws.

3) Who would you say is your best player? Will they be leading your team out as captain?

Currently have Buffon as my captain, experienced and a known name and figure. My best player? Possibly Schweinsteiger, Alba and Buffon are both bloody good though.

4) Look at the team directly below you in the league list, have they got a chance against you? (Bottom of the leagues look at the top of their league).

Arsenal Dog's Leverkusen are a decent side. Think I might have the edge on him though. But again, let's see what the others say.

5) Sponsorship deals have been found and signed, are you happy with yours?

Yeah...ish, looking back at the other offer it might've made sense to take it. More money up front.
6) All teams were offered two choices, why did you reject the other option?

I picked the one that offered a lot more for league positioning and cup wins, looking more to the future. But the other offered more upfront...

7) Earlier in the Media Pages I asked who the best striker was, now let's find the best CM. Who is the best CM in the league? Do you have or want him?

Schweinsteiger. Xavi's a brilliant passer, Iniesta is just sublime, but Schweinsteiger has it all. Carrick's a very underrated CM too.

8) Football boots came in for some criticism last week for being flimsy, could you think of a protective element to compensate for weak boots? Lead lined socks for example...

Football should be non-contact. It's that simple

9) Well, I suggested Spain looked set to dominate for 10-15 years, looks like I'm wrong. But do GB have a chance of a medal now the Spanish are out?

I'd love them to get a medal, purely for Giggs to be up there.

And finally, 10) A few children were having anagram based fun with some footballing names, for example: Alex Ferguson = $ex Organ Fuel. Can you make any funny names for your team?

In all honesty I ran out of questions here... erm... Saha could be changed into a Partridgesque "AHA(s)"
