[Gareth]

ill save time and say well done gareth now

Thanks... I'll go ahead and book the open-top bus for the tour, then... 

[Gareth]

Thanks... I'll go ahead and book the open-top bus for the tour, then... 

But seriously, looking at this year's prices, it's going to be tricky to pick a decent squad for the start of the season. I could really use an extra £5 mil...

[goat]

just ordered a gareth and brenda half and half scarf

[Gareth]

You can always put it on ebay if Andy wins...

[goat]

you will be alright, just  make sure you get  frank lampard for the goals  from midfield, always worked for me  that

[lee]

come on you lot.. join the feckin league..it resembles the scottish prem league at the moment

[bluebrendan]

Bit harsh on Gav... 

just ordered a gareth and brenda half and half scarf

I'm not worthy... 

[Gareth]

I'm not worthy... 

Hahaha! Now I just know you're going to beat me out of sight...

[gavin]

Be good to get a few more regular posters in there before the season starts. I'll hopefully be a bit more competitive this year. Gonna have a good look at my team on Friday before the Scouse Scum game and keep an eye on my team more through the season.

[goat]

Should let those uber lads join up

[bry the guy]

im in but i think i was last last season so i guess i wont count.

[bluebrendan]

I think the "no rags" rule could usefully be extended to "no rags or dippers". 

[gavin]

I did think that myself but lets see next season.

[Gareth]

You mean, let's see if the Dipper who has joined this season's league goes on and wins it?

[lee]

thats my mate al..the dipper

please ban him gav

[goat]

gareth booking his open top bus yet?

[Gareth]

gareth booking his open top bus yet?

My rule of thumb is that (at least until the last 2 or 3 weeks of the season) you're not ahead of someone unless you're 100 points ahead, or behind them until you're a hundred points behind. Right now pretty much the whole league is within 100 points of the leader so it's still all to play for. And anyway, there's no bus, I just go for a bike-ride round where Maine Road used to be...

How's that half-and-half-scarf looking?

[goat]

the brendan half is a bit tatty looking

[gavin]

He's actually behind me in the table in fourth. Even Brendan isn't far behind in fifth.

1 Bacon Sané niall mather   54   473
2 Junkyard Gods Andy Gould   49   448
3 GavCity G av   47   443
4 Red Star Morningside Gareth Hughes   36   440
5 Atletico Cleveleys blue brendan   30   426

[lee]

You both must be cheating if your in front of me

[bluebrendan]

You both must be cheating if your in front of me

Don't worry about Gav, he'll be heading down with the Xmas decorations. 

[goat]

not many fantasy world cup winners in that top 5

[gavin]

Kinnell, can't believe you're still going on about that. Been running scared for years.

[goat]

i was in it last year you bald sod

I'm otta sight of you all literally no sight of me 

[lee]

Some despicable cheating going on with a rag in the team!!

StetfordBlues

[Stephen Paul]

why would you ffs

[gavin]

Hopefully the offender will remove them before the next deadline. If not, then he will be ejected. To be honest the sight of Van Dijk made me m ore vomitorious thatn Rashford which shows how things have changed.

[lee]

next season no scousers and rags

[Gareth]

Hopefully the offender will remove them before the next deadline. If not, then he will be ejected. To be honest the sight of Van Dijk made me m ore vomitorious thatn Rashford which shows how things have changed.

It's his "Free Hit" team, so his whole squad will be switched back to what it was the week before, automatically removing Rashford. Looks like including Rags in your free hit team is a nice way of gaming the Citymancs League rules, then...

[gavin]

I hadn't thought of that. It will be interesting to see if his 'normal' team has rags in it. Either way it is probably going to end in a ban considering.

[Gareth]

The answer to that is just the one - Greenwood.

[lee]

greenwood..another horrible twot

[Stephen Paul]

what happens to the players and points if the match is off

[Gareth]

Your subs bench is used.

[Stephen Paul]

fookin subs bench all injured

does it not carry to the rearranged date?

[Gareth]

Only if they rearrange the match to a date within the same game-week.

[Stephen Paul]

for fucks sake

[Gareth]

You must've played your "Get out of jail free" chip!

[Stephen Paul]

back in game week 26

[Gareth]

We really going to carry on with this when it all starts again?
Tbh, I'm really not in the mood for it, but I'll do it if Gavin doesn't stop the league where it is now.
What does everyone think?

[Stephen Paul]

I am out , cant be arsed at the moment

[gavin]

Doesn't bother me either way. Just looked at the table and it looks more exciting than the return of the Prem itself.

[bluebrendan]

You're not stopping it until I'm ahead of you Gav. 

[gavin]

There's a few more years left for it yet then

[goat]

You're not stopping it until I'm ahead of you Gav. 

your team is sponsored by heimlich

[bluebrendan]

There's a few more years left for it yet then

You can stop it now.

I know it's nearly over and probably no-one cares much, but last week's score of 65 by Bacon Sané (niall mather) looked suspiciously good, so I checked, and sure enough, he has 24 points from his captain, Rashford.

It's worse than that, actually... he has 3 rags in his team, and it's been like this since he played his wild-card after the re-start - 2 or 3 rags every week, worth over 100 points in total.

The usual response is, let's give him a couple of weeks to sort his team out... but come on, Gavin, by then it'd be too late. Surely we can't let this slide...

[gavin]

Okay he's gone. Trust me Brendan cares that he is sinking below back again.

[Stephen Paul]

3 rags in his team

fuck that

[bluebrendan]

Okay he's gone. Trust me Brendan cares that he is sinking below back again.

Yeah but like Liverpool your win will have an asterisk next to it. 

[lee]

looks like im going to finish above you both again

[Gareth]

looks like im going to finish above you both again

What all 3 of you should be more concerned about is that you’re all getting beat by a dipper! I thought this was supposed to be a a City fan league, ffs. If it wasn’t for Andy having another great season, there’s a good chance the fkr could win the league and laugh at us all. Citymancs for City fans, I say!

[lee]

haha..ban him gav 

[gavin]

If I had Gareth's record, I'd be very disappointed to have little or no chance of winning going into the last game. We expect better next season.

[gavin]

Well done to Andy who finished top. Alvin and Gareth put in good efforts to reach the top three. All three admin in mediocrity but Lee came out top of the three. Well done Lee but lets face it, we all should be aiming to be in the top three next season.

[bluebrendan]

Yes, congrats to Andy on his win, and to Lee for the not exactly difficult task this season of beating me and Gav! 

Roll on next season preferably without another lockdown hiatus.

Come on goat, get back in so we can take the piss. 

[Gareth]

Great stuff Andy! I never really managed to get going again after the re-start as Andy disappeared into the distance.

[goat]

gareth to be given the dreaded vote of confidence by mrs gareth, alan pardew and big sam in the running for the job

[Stephen Paul]

Well done Andy

[Swiss]

Sevilla's Reguilon looks good as an attacking LB

[lee]

Setting it up again Gav? No scousers
