Death Watch Beatle

I belive it's a hybrid: Seasonal Affected Disorder - coupled with Gastro-Intestinal Tract (disorder) That's what his doctor initially thought. DWB

Monty Don also suffers from this strange depression that strikes people in the winter. Something to do with the seasons and not enough sun. I'm sure somebody here will enlighten me. DWB

LFN already knows, but for benefit of others, the lesser-spotted DWB will be with you all at DL2. DWB

And Knickers United relegated? I admit it we were pants! Lucky old you, no relegation this year - but you are right - you were pants! Fat chance I suppose - but does anyone want to join us in a few weeks for the next exciting season of the Death League? DWB

All hail the new Death League Champions . . . Bury FC and their manager Anubis! With two games to spare the ashen-faced supremo has cruised to victory. Well done! Congrats also to OoO and FF for gaining promotion from Div. 1 (in old money). Div 2 (in even older money). DWB

I fear the Kickers aren't the side they used to be. Perhaps a Manchester City style re-invention is required. Except the Kickers haven't got any money. DWB

What a come-back! Well done LG on a classic cup win. Bad luck MC - tough luck losing in a penalty shoot-out. DWB

Thank you all for your kind words of congratulation. I believe General Gordon is the Director of Football at Hearseton - whoever he is. DWB

Holy crap, another victory. Watch out Dee double ya. I'm on fire now. Another victorious victory (eh?) tonight 4-3. 4-0 tonight and 4 wins in a row for the Dyslexics Untied. Things are getting interesting at the top now, eh dee double ya? BUGGERATION! DWB

Our league so far consists of 10 teams in one division. We have interest from another DL member, so all we need is a least one more player and we can have two leagues of six with relegation and promotion and everything! It only takes five or ten minutes to set up your team for the next game (2 games a week) so no major drain on your DL posting time. We are keeping the Death League a DL members only league, so we kind of rely on responses to plugs like this. Give it a go, it costs nothing and you can bow out whenever you so wish if you find it not to your liking. DWB

Holy crap, another victory. Watch out Dee double ya. I'm on fire now. A return to those heady days of Season 1 perhaps? DWB

Grobler - I've now found out why you were barred from joining our league. This snippet from the rules: "To join a second private league where someone else is the league boss you must have been a member for at least 2 months and have an Xpert rating of at least 95." I see your rating is 28 at the moment, thus stopping you joining a 2nd private league. So, get working on that rating - we'd love to have you in the Death League. DWB

It is a pretty bad situation when a part-time manager overtakes you. Can we expect to see the cheque book being waved in the coming weeks? DWB

Oh crap! 3 conceded tonight. Serves me right for picking German players. I think I'll sack the lot of them Jeeezzzuussss! Another 3 conceded again, ah well, not all bad, at least I scored 2. Four this time, What's the record? You have such a long way to go! I am aware of 8 going in - not against me you understand. DWB

While HCW wallows in despair, now would seem to be a good time to put out the first call of the season for anyone who is interested in joining us for Season 3 of the Death League. Our current season ends in about a month, so you have plenty of time to have a look at the league and see what goes on. If you do want a team, reply to this thread or let me know by PM. Come On You Kickers! DWB

It came through with some bloke called Marco di nello(?). Just lettin you know. Oh, that's not right. When you resubmitted I didn't see it. Best thing to do, submit another name of a footballer you don't want on your team, like say, David Beckham, I will OK it, then resubmit your more sensible name and I will OK it again. See if that works. After all, Vincent Price did join my team this week! DWB

Here's somebody else to keep a watch on. I personally haven't heard of him, but I am sure the more cultured of you out there have - he got this large write-up on the BBC. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts/4075979.stm DWB

And again, holy crap, I think I'll change my team name to Wrexham or Gretna. The changes are on the horizon Dee duble ya, can you please authorise my new player name? No names to authorise - FF or Odstock may have done it for you. It says in the team stats that you are the second richest club in the league (behind Knickers) - so maybe you should spend, spend, spend? DWB I've re-sent the request. The names been sitting there since you authorised leatherface. The system is a bit crap - it does just sit there even when it has been authorised. Your next youth talent should have this name - if not, let me know. DWB

You wont actually see any difference if you click the cheat button on. It allows your players to fake situations on the pitch to fool the ref into giving freekicks, penalties etc. Players with the oscar statue icon are best at doing this for you. If you cheat in front of a hard and/or skilled ref he could book you for simulation or similar! However the dirty trix button on the left hand menu is something else . . . DWB

I thought striking was what you required? DWB

Thanks for the congrats. I'm not used to this looking down the table for my team after the heady days of season 1! DWB

Do elaborate HCW . No, HCW, don't elaborate! DWB

Get busy people, the new season kicks off in 1 weeks time! DWB

Hopefully the transfer window will open up sooner, rather than later. I already have an eye on a player or 2. FF Tomorrow morning at 5am I believe. Not sure how that relates to your time zone mind. DWB
