Grim Up North 3,717 Posted January 20, 2019 It's supposed to be like FA Cup in UK though - random and magical. My opponent sounds a bit spicy too (took a coin toss to split us in year 1) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,397 Posted January 20, 2019 What Grim said. Luck of the draw. Or no luck of the draw, if yer me! I think Reptile is overdue giving someone a revenge thumping tbh. Some killer ties, yes, but for all we know the new Heef Award winner* is waiting in Round 1 right now as we speak. And so ties not pictured as killer actually will be... Best Newcomer - previous winners Heef, Sir Creep. I think there's also the Most Improved Player, which was Willz in 2018 iirc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing as you murdered some fine deadpoolers last year on route to the final, I suspect folk will bemoan drawing you as much (if not more) than you drawing them.

FixedBusiness 407 Posted January 20, 2019 I've had a team prepared for a while now, but I'll wait 'til the 30th since about 2 or 3 people from the original have already croaked :P Good luck all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heef 166 Posted January 21, 2019 Hoping for a 2nd round tie against John Key. I’ve always wanted the opportunity to take that berk down a peg or two. Now, only he and I need to deliver. #KiwiGrudgeMatch 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,616 Posted January 21, 2019 Aye, I've just diaried to check eleven pulses this time next week and enter the team after that. Nantonian 2013 stands between me and what would be my greatest ever achievement - a second round place on merit rather than a rule infringement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,353 Posted January 22, 2019 Since sending our illustrious host my starting 11, 2 have died in just as many days, one of whom was my joker. I’d just like to congratulate BuffaloPhil on his imminent victory over me; it’s apparent I’ve done my bollocks early doors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No doubt I will be corrected here but iirc only player to need 2 or more subs before Round 1 last year was charon, who still won his tie comfortably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goddamn it, you take your eye off the ball for a few days and when you get round to checking the forum, you find not only are you fucked in terms of your opponent in round one, you've already been written off by Sir Creep....harsh, but fair. Time to drive to Norfolk in a Sherman tank and loiter round junctions to see if any Range Rovers pop out and see if I can improve my odds of achieving more than zero in what is likely to be the only round I play in. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can do this Squonk! I'm also up against a deadpooling legend in round 2 and by the power of positive thinking alone (with perhaps a little frantic googling on deadline day) I reckon I'll prevail.
