RoverAndOut 3,455 Posted January 21, 2017 Can I say I feel slightly embarrassed and humbled at receiving a bye to the second round. On the other hand, this is the furthest I thought I'd get so....WINNING!!! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mad Hatter 1,091 Posted January 21, 2017 I predict that captain cazoo,me,joey,heef,Shaun,cow,penguin,Pedro and grceptile will advance forward. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockhopper penguin 2,264 Posted January 21, 2017 I predict that captain cazoo,me,joey,heef,Shaun,cow,penguin,Pedro and grceptile will advance forward. Thank you for you vote of confidence. I'm hoping that an early goal settles the nerves and it doesn't become a game of two halves where I have to revert to a long ball game in squeaky bum time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,119 Posted January 21, 2017 Here's my prediction for winners (though seeing their squad could change them):1. CaptainChorizo2. Too early to call3. Me (sorry Grim)4. Too early to call5. Garn26. RadGuy7. Dead Cow8. Switch (sorry rockhopper, also basing on DDP performance)9. Jiroemen Kimura10.

Pedro67 227 Posted January 22, 2017 Right then. Squad in training till midweek, then name the team. Signed one today from a parks team. Not sure she's ready to give it all yet, so may be on the bench. Will be a unique with a national obit though !

Grim Up North 3,565 Posted January 23, 2017 Hey I got a bye. Second Round here we come. Does save someone an embaressing first round thrashing....... ....probably me! It did though give you an opportunity to embarrass yourself with your spelling! I find Morbidkid and Joey's confidence in my lack of ability to pick 11 people that might die during February quite intimidating. I think I've lost the face off! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,013 Posted January 23, 2017 I predict that captain cazoo,me,joey,heef,Shaun,cow,penguin,Pedro and grceptile will advance forward. Aye, well - the squad seeking to stop you just turned up for action Let's put it this way - if this was a real football game it would be cruelty above and beyond anything in the Geneva Convention to put them on a pitch 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,761 Posted January 23, 2017 Tempted only to give points to MorbidKid if Steve Summers (apparently a non-entity Tory councillor down south) dies, rather than the World Cup chap, tbh. MPFC, Skellern lives but Sarstedt's dead. Though given Skellern's a Drop 40 and not on the Pan Breed team - long may he live! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, I know - were you addressing that to Rockhopper... who appeared to have the two musos confused. I've actually seen Skellern play a gig (not summat I'd readily admit to just anyone). Since Morbid has gone public I might as well make my line up common knowledge too: Emma Morano Alice Ducat Gord Downie Tony Booth Mark Sims Ralph Clark – centenarian paedo Sara Coward Billy Graham Mark Sims - DNS DUE TO DEATH Leah Bracknell Errol Christie Sub: Anne Hamilton-Byrne Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,013 Posted January 23, 2017 On a serious note re teams - msc - what if... Some cynically minded sod were to take advantage of an oppontent naming a team on this thread and then exploit it by naming ten of the same individuals and one conspicious low hanger to swap for the - apparently - healthiest member of the opposing line up? Clearly morbid and I have a few in midfield who will - literally - cancel each other out; but doubtless there's potential for more blatant cynicism as the final rounds bring out the competitive beast in whoever is still standing.

msc 17,761 Posted January 23, 2017 That's why I strongly suggest PMing me the teams. Someone asked me if they should put it in here instead earlier and I hinted to much that issue. Essentially, if you post your team here early, and thus give your opponent an unhealthy advantage, you're a fool, imo. Either that, or the entirely impartial and lovely referee... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye, well - fair enough then, buyer beware or summat Clearly you'll confirm you had a PM of my team before morbid announced his line up so the collision of the odd blatant low hanger in each line up is down to deft picking by both managers.
