Hi Understudy, welcome back! You back to celebrate Mourinho's departure?

Peks has done a great job with the predos league since he took over, the season end predictions add a bit of spice to it, but wasn't it you who set it up in the first place? You'll have to get on board, would be a great way to keep you involved with La Liga.

Renoog rarely comes on. When he does, he sticks around for a couple of days, then vanishes against.

Young Upstart's another who still posts, now known as Dot.

Luna made a really promising start to his career at Sevilla, but then had a couple of loan spells in which he went off the radar a bit. I suppose Dr F will be able to give you more dets, but he's not been around much in the past few months.

Morning

Also, if I'm not mistaken this'll be our 4th predo season. Champions roster is:
10-11 Dan (CroCop)
11-12 Coolinter
12-13 Pekster

It's proved harder to retain than the CL - to the point that none of the former champs have even tried. Peks would be the first player to actually try to defend his title if he doesn't cave in to the pressure in the next 8 days.

Morning LRF. Give up on those games you play. Enter the predos league, do one for the BL and spend the additional time that'll leave you doing something more productive like finding a Mourinho vaccine.

Give up on Sports Gaming!! For Predictors!!! Not a chance. Andrei runs my Bundesliga one, I might enter this and I'm doing CEF's predictor as well as running a league and being involved in one. I still yet have a lot of time on my hands.

Have you given up on trying to cure people, or were you never really a doctor?

posted on 9/8/13

Why would I have ever given up on curing a patient? That was my job. If I was to give up, I'd get sacked.

posted on 9/8/13

You cure them really quickly then.

What do you mean?

I can't claim all the credit for it!! And yeah sounds like renoog... What's Hammy's name these days? Girls had more name changes than parmos. And that was when I was on here!

Luna has looked alright so far. Quietly optimistic about this season actually! We've done deceptively well in rhe summer.

Whoops. Double post there.

'Hammy' is now DiRestaules or something like that, but just named Di.

posted on 9/8/13

...but we still call her Hammy here. Hardly ever pops round though, think she's only ever active on the gaming section really.

I always remember you being bullish about Villa - but you did miss the past two seasons...

posted on 9/8/13

LRF, I was just joking re your comment about all the time you had to spare. I 'spose I'm just jealous.

--------------------------------

Haha I think I've earnt the right to be bullish after the last couple of years

We looked shafted last season after we lost to Newcastle in late January. Then we signed Yacouba Sylla and went on a storming run!

Not happy with Benteke's antics/transfer request over summer but he's staying 'til next summer and he is an incredibly talented player.

Wish we'd sign Kiyotake off Nurnberg but that looks dependant on shifting our deadwood (Bent, Hutton, Ireland, Given, Bannan etc)

Jores Okore looks an incredibly good signing though he's been injured in pre-season a bit. He only cost 4m which is decent. Bit of a beast of a defender and still only 20. Big talent

Leandro Bacuna looks reliable and versatile. He cost around a million. Still young, and likes to shoot from distance

Nicklas Helenius is the interesting one. We paid about 1.5m for him and he looks a very raw and capable talent. Considering Cardiff overspent on a player with roughly the same ability (Cornelius) I'm glad we signed him. He's 6'5 and is a foot player all the way. Doesn't use his head enough IMO

Tony Moon, cost around 1.5m-2m already a cult hero here, been given the "Daddy Cool" song for him, my idea that btw :D , also has one fantastic beard and is a generally likeable player, incredibly enthusiastic and deceptively quick. Hope he's the kick up the backside Joe Bennett needs. I haven't given up on him either.

Jed Steer - Signed as understudy to Brad Guzan, for a nominal fee that has yet to be decided by a tribunal as his contract had run out at Norwich but he's below a certain age. Looks alright, needs a few years to mature but no doubt he will.

Aleksandar Tonev - the wildcard. Again around 1.5m from Lech Poznan. A winger with two very good feet, and one hell of a strike on him. Also raw but considering none of these players are over 23 that's unsurprising. I think he'll need time to settle but I like what I've seen.


Hope that covers it

Wasn't Bannan the lad who was destined to lead Scotland to winning the World Cup?

posted on 9/8/13

Haha. He showed some promise a few years ago but attitude and lack of ability. ...

Yay!

Oh I mean, I'm sorry to hear that pekky.
