Little Johnny Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Did you really need to go back and edit your West Ham for the title post? I thought it was one of your more sensible ones, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebra Kid Mark Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Absolute cracking strike from Miller,either team could have won it, West Ham's star players were pretty anonymous through out. That new player for Cardiff 'Gestede' looks cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I still think that, but thought I may as well start a new page with a new post and I forgot to put it back in, its only one game, and still fancy West Ham for the title though.

patiirc Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 when do points go up for fantasy football?  Some time later on today probably  They are notoriously slow for the first couple of games but get better as the season goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 8, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2011 Entered my friends' season prediction league last week. These were my football league picks:  Championship Winners - West Ham Runners-up - Forest Play-off winners - Leicester  League One Winners - Charlton Runners Up - Huddersfield Play-off winners - MK Dons  League Two Winners - Bristol Rovers Runners Up - Swindon Town 3rd place - Gillingham Play-off winners - Northampton  Not a great start for my Championship picks but I thought West Ham looked much the better team, and Cardiff looked a good side too, and will get better. The goal was a disaster, Ilunga's mistake was bad enough but it wasn't a great hit from Miller and Green should have saved it comfortably.  Forest now gone 5 seasons without an opening day goal. Remarkable! I still think they'll do alright though.  Charlton, Swindon and Bristol Rovers had great starts. Gillingham started steadily. I think I must have been on drugs when I picked Northampton over Crawley. Huddersfield were lucky, there was a cast iron penalty and sending off at 0-0 that should have gone against them.  Oh I worked this out on Saturday:  50% (13 of 26) of League Two goals scored by debutants.  32% in League One (9 of 28).  42% in Championship (13 in 31).

Glenryck Pilchards Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It appears Middlesbrough has dramatically increased its squad size.... Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 8, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hope the FA don't expect anyone to take the League cup seriously anytime soon. We've got the first round tomorrow night, 6 players on international duty and 3 injured! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guvnor Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Looks like we're very close to signing Wesley Verhoek. Could be one of the signings of the season in the Championship. It's created a lot of excitement around the fans the last few days. Â How did Adebola and McKenna get on for Hull at the weekend, Rick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 8, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2011 How did Adebola and McKenna get on for Hull at the weekend, Rick? Adebola had a decent game but was injured right at the start of the second half. McKenna was pretty poor. Looked slow ad didn't pass like you'd expect. Everyone hated James Harper last season but many think he's better than McKenna. There's enough competition that he'll have to get his finger out. Â Verhoek would be a hell of a signing, been expecting him to go to a mid-table PL club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guvnor Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It's funny, with the role McKenna plays, people always expect him to be some sort of cultured midfielder picking out expert passes. His passing is actually shite. All he did for us most of last season was hoof it into the corners and point at people to chase it. Â Adebola should do a good job for you still, although shouldn't really be a starter nowadays. Have you got injuries up front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 8, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2011 Adebola should do a good job for you still, although shouldn't really be a starter nowadays. Have you got injuries up front? Aaron McLean was injured for the first game. Simpson made the bench but was injured in the warm up so wasn't considered for starting. To be honest, Adebola is way fitter than I thought he'd be. He was offered easier work in pre-season and turned it down. Cracking pro, hope he works out for us.

The Maestro Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Since there's a Adebola love-fest going on, I just want to add that out of all the players that I've met in my life, he is by far the friendliest one that I've come across. A nice guy and a true gentleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 9, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2011 Some great upsets tonight. How unlucky where Notts County though? Conceded a 123rd minute equaliser and then lost on pens! Heartbreaking. Â We were dogshit. Still, no loss to be out of a competition that the FA deems worthy of holding while 6 players are on international duty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
