And Deathray v Sir Creep. Where are those dead certs university presidents? And most surprising of all, Rover is still holding Spade to a draw. Surely I'm not going to have to get a coin out for a "penalty shootout" again? And if so, will Mrs msc mock the shit out of me again? Yes. Yes she will. Yes, yes I am. And I'm as astonished as anyone, let me tell you. Hoping for a Tsvangirai wonder goal Aguero-style in the last minute, but pleased I'm entering injury time for getting a money spinning replay. I rather imagine this is my current situation, now and for the remaining 15 days of February: 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be a decisive death in a number of matches. GCR - is your team an intentional anagram of something? His team is a reference to a meme going on about, yes, eating Tide Pods. Wish I was joking, but I'm not. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,248 Posted February 14, 2018 Been running up and town the touchline directing the team. Now it is time to pull them off at half-time. Wait. I mean give them a severe dressing down. No, that still sounds a little pervy. They're going to get the full treatment...Oh good grief! *tries to think of a non-innuendo* *gives up* Happy Valentines Day... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,558 Posted February 14, 2018 Prince Henrik's death means Rover's valiant defence has been breached right on the brink of half time. Harsh luck, but some pundits will say 45th minute is the best time to take the lead. They are wrong of course, it's the 94th minute. However, Spade moves ahead in the quest to take on DDT in Round 2. Also, last year Sean went out in Round 1 which was rather a significant underachievement. Now he takes a 6 point lead at the halfway point. 1. Charon (Unrepentant) vs Maryportfuncity (Inter Youngboys FC) 3-0 2. Pedro (Trottingbum Hotsores) vs The Dead Cow 3-10 3. Young Willz (Glasgow Ron Weasley Ed Sheeran Slash Fanfiction Thistle Wanderers United) vs The Engineer 0-0 4. Grim Up North (Going Going GUN) vs Yorkshire Banker 6-3 5. Msc vs Wormfarmer 3-0 6. Spade Cooley (Great Railway Journeys with Hughie Gallacher and Robert Enke) vs Roverandout 3-0 7. Joey Russ vs Garn (Video Assistant Reaper) 7-0 8. Bibliogryphon (Bye Bye Biblio) vs Phantom of the Midway (AKA Rad Guy) 0-6 9. Sean (Shaun of the Dead’s Magical Funeral Parlour) vs Fixed Business (Business Fixed) 6-0 10. Gcreptile (The eaten tide pods) vs John Key 7-3 11. Deathray (First In, First Out and Never Invited to an Orgy Again) vs Sir Creep (The Month-to-Month Tenants) 0-0 12.

msc 18,558 Posted February 14, 2018 Morgan Tsvangirai dead. Honestly, if you want a 20/20 DDP team, just get me to give their health a seal of approval. Anyhow, Mugabe outlives another, and 3 teams score. Sean and The Dead Cow have comfortable leads, whereas ROVER HAS EQUALISED!!!! You know poor old Fixed Business is going to come online later and wonder what the hell happened. 1. Charon (Unrepentant) vs Maryportfuncity (Inter Youngboys FC) 3-0 2.

YoungWillz 21,248 Posted February 14, 2018 Well, we do know England's record on penalties.... So far this month I've had three hits in the Grammy Pool and one each in the Joker and Death By Numbers.

YoungWillz 21,248 Posted February 15, 2018 My team take wearily to the field. Pope Benedict is frail, not enough for a boot up the park, but frail enough to let in a goal. Doddy's poking away Tajima with his tickling stick and Greavesy is sitting the month out on the basis he's getting a testimonial in next year's Cup. My defence looks stout...too bloody stout... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ach - I spent (wasted) 15 - 30 mins of my life prior to submitting my team trying to find some sort of positive or negative info on Leo - in the end I couldn't find enough. I'm sure I wasn't alone! I guess that's the difficulty of the 4 week window - sometimes no information is exactly why you should be picking someone! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
