my team is strong imo:

 

[The_Chaser]

So yeah we've got Hughton, I'm a bit apprehensive because tbh since Newcastle were really expected to be promoted at first attempt and he didn't do much better than expected with Birmingham. I hope he does well, by all records he's a great guy but still feeling a bit negative about the upcoming season without Lambert. Hopefully he can get us Curtis Davies and I wouldn't mind Guthrie on free (provided wages are low enough).

Newcastle look to be swooping in on Kalou on a free... not sure if want.

 

[Lee]

Do want - at worst we just use him in the same capacity we used Obertan last season (a role in which he will be infinitely superior!)

 

[Dubby]

Joined the league.

Also Dubby, droooool.

Not even fair..

 

[Darkaxis]

Do want- He won't be awesome, but atleast he won't be a useless player..

'didnt do much better than expected' err seriously? are you aware that bhams owner is currently being done for fraud and so birmingham had the equivalent of a fire sale and they STILL got to the playoff finals? be pleased with your new manager.

on this note can we PLEASE put this holloway thing to bed now, i don't know who the fuck thinks it's going to happen but they don't have any idea of what swansea are about :(

If youre doing Euro fantasy, I recommend you check the substitution rules, theres some information you might find v useful there!

 

[Dubby]

Villareal coach dies one day after being hired as the new coach..quite sad and shocking news.

 

[Nosferalto]

nice to see toon standards have gone up lol

kalou would be an excellent signing for you guys and he's much more suited for the left of the attacking trio of a 4-3-3 than demba ba.

Kalou------Cisse/Ba-------Ben Arfa
(LW)--------(CF)-----------(RW)

honestly that is pretty good.

 

[Lee]

Not sure what that means Mr. Liverpool but you have absolutely no right to criticise our recent signings lol

 

[Django]

Really glad to see Hughton getting the Premier League job he deserves.

 

[akuchi]

just sad he hasn't come to us :( I'D LIKE A NEW MANAGER NOW PLEASE

 

[Zoro]

Lewandowski you beast

 

[shade]

in times of economic hardship at least the greeks still have their football...

 

[Kinneas]

My first points in mcdonald's fantasy football are... a red card for 2 fouls that weren't even worth a yellow.

 

[shade]

just as i make a greece joke they score

fuck life

 

[Kinneas]

Wojciech Szczęsnoob

 

[Blue_Star]

ow, i was rooting for poland, that was a terrible result

and wtf was that, chesney? x_X

 

[phalanx]

that ref was poor in the first half

 

[Django]

Samaras was god awful. Bad red card for Greece as well.

 

[akuchi]

apparently that ref has given 16 cards in 19 games in la liga, was bound to happen!

 

[Zoro]

Russia is scary.

 

[Dubby]

I feel bad for Kerzhakov, he tried so hard to get his goal and then he gets subbed off for Pavlyuchenko who scores a brilliant goal.
