    Frenchman Bruno Metsu, 58, who guided Senegal to the last sixteen of the 2002 World Cup, has been diagnosed with stomach cancer.

     

    I was hoping this one might be kept under wraps, I was going to go with him on the basis that he'd be a rare choice not sure he's worth a pick now as he could easily survive to 2014 if he's just been diagnosed.

    I can still win if Lisa Lynch drops dead in the next three months. Considering she said last November she had "months to live", she's been well enough to go on holiday recently, but she has been in for a scan in the past few days so.... nah, I have no hope.

     

    Roll on next year and a heavy decision to make as to whether I go with her from Emmanuelle or the former chairman of Burnley as captain.

     

    Do we even know if Bazza's cancer is that serious?

     

     

    I had five minutes spare at work the other day and did some googling about my longlist... found a few threads on one of the Burnley message boards, one saying "it'll be a miracle if he's still alive by Christmas" and another saying "he's back at work". So you take your chances....

     

    I'm willing to be half of the serious contenders for next year's trophy will have Ryan Buell as captain, tbh.

     

    I'm pretty content with my team at the moment but then if it's that good a lot of them will be dead in the next three months and if they're not, it sort of suggests they're more resilient than I've assumed...I reckon I'll hold off on Kilby for the moment.

     

    Buell's a safe bet but tempted to go all out risk next year (after a poor year) and try and get even more joker points than he offers.

    I've got someone in mind for next year's DDP, except I don't know their name (their first name at least)...I take it I would need to find their full name for them to be eligible?

     

    Cheers.

     

    Sportsman's aunt, by any chance?

     

    Sportsman's mother-in-law (but his wife is famous too)

     

    She's not in my 20 at the moment anyway, and I've got enough risky-obituary picks although with 3 months to go I might want to bring her in as a replacement (but I won't unless I find her blasted name)

    I should've gone with Williams really...ah, hindsight...

    Well....we do have a "Mrs M" on this year's list, so it's possible...

     

    They're a famous person's relation so I would have identified them previously if they died, even if I didn't have their name beforehand

    Please come back DDT...this place is dead enough as it is

     

    What is he sulking about?

     

    There's always the possibility that he isn't but he hasn't posted since the 'Jo Bryant Incident' (as he legend will become known as) so it seems likely that a break has been taken (at least I hope it's just a break...)

    He says he's glad to have 'caught it early' - either the the media's reporting the wrong diagnosis or his doctor hasn't explained to him exactly what stage IV entails...

     

    Edit: It's just me who's misinformed...prostate cancer is staged from 1-10 rather than 1-4 so he's much more likely to be cured than it seems
