They are Joey. I dunno it's even running yet but I'll say here and now I've accepted Sean and Deathray and any arguments about the bit in rule three about "once entered..." will only serve to amuse people with your reticence about prematurely spunking the low-hanging wad. 2019 game on, or summat Obviously, I'm not that much of a bastard and should Deathray or Sean find themselves lacking 20 topplers because death has laid waste to their first team and generous subs bench I'll allow in enough fresh talent to make up the 20.

I was writing the post above when you wrote yours - I won't see you short of 20 in the team. But the early entry may be a little - ermmm - rash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
