Joey Russ 7,226 Posted January 14, 2021 As it stands, only one person who competed last year has to compete in round 1 (that being JoeMoneyPenny). So if you want to push some more folk who played last year and force them to compete in round 1, you have until the 20th to do so... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,443 Posted January 20, 2021 Grobler had some good picks in last years DDP and has a good looking team this year, not someone to take lightly at all. Poor Grim though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor Grim though. I’m guessing that as the cup is run by Joey now that it is Spade_Cooley at Grim Up North (like the American football) so our fans are really excited and the gate receipts will really help us.

Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted January 20, 2021 Stadiums are only at 1/4 capacity and fans must be socially distanced though. Probably have to sell some half-and-half scarves to make the money up on merch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted January 21, 2021 Good work - my squad's in training, given my record in this competition I'm confident everyone already selected for action will make it to the field of play on March 1st 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must admit, I was hoping for an easier draw to begin my defence of the title. No easy games I suppose in this competition, but this looks like a real tough one. I'll need to be at the top of my game to avoid falling at the first hurdle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,226 Posted January 26, 2021 A little over five days to go, so here is where the team entries stand at the moment: Annami vs dvsp84 Baby Blue vs CalebH Djemba Djemba vs JoeMoneyPenny BuffaloPhil vs nantonian2013 The Old Crem vs YorkshireBanker Markb4 vs Charles De Gaulle GreatUncleBulgaria vs Gooseberry Crumble ThereWillBeDeaths7 vs GuyFromFuture Perhaps vs xXConmanXx Still not that many entrants, but there’s definitely still time to send in a team... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooseberry Crumble 5,342 Posted January 26, 2021 Oh heck looks like I missed the boat! For some daft reason I thought I didn't have to submit a team until the 30th of January. Apologies @Joey Russ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m anticipating GUB v GC being very close. Charles d’Irlande should put on a show. GuyFromFuture sounds like he has an unfair advantage. My main hope for all this though is that The Old Cock doesn’t create a thread for all of his picks. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
