  1. Imagine looking back at the history of the clubs 150th year, with a beautiful kit made by Adidas, that's soiled by a BK8 logo! *Not to mention the underwhelming new crest!
  2. Emery spreading his DNA all over the place. [Insert South Park.gif]
  3. The script writers really don't like us
  4. Don't care who we get but a home tie would be nice
  5. This is the third year in a row that I've finished 7th! Average at best!
  6. Congratulations to Simon on winning this year's league... This year's final positions: 1. Amnesiacs @Beastmix 2. Rhys @rhyscartwright_avfc 3. Cleveland Frowns @Hornso 4. Watership Brown @Xela 5. Great Olof's Vikings @sexbelowsound 6. It Ertz When Eifert @Brumerican 7. The Brown Stuff @Tubby 8. Punters Unanimous @rjw63 9. Lancs Villans @LancsVillan 10. MAQ Attack @maqroll 11. Area 51 ETs @abdomlahor 12. Self Isolate @Dante_Lockhart It felt like a good competition and I look forward to competing with you all next year. Edit: swapped 3rd/4th
  7. The considered points changes in full effect. Also, 3 wins separate 2nd to 12th. I've never known it so close. It's made for an exciting season.
  8. I'm fairly certain that you'll beat my rag tag bunch, next week.
  9. Hasn't it always been pure luck? Just this year the luck is more evenly distributed. You have no control over the players performance and we've all left points on the bench. It is what it is. Admittedly, your season has been super unfortunate. Not seen one like it for a long while.
  10. This week is giving 'any given Sunday' vibes. It feels like anyone can beat anyone at the moment!
  11. Sorry, I didn't mean to seem like I was targeting your comment, more so referencing your point. So far as I can see, the league is well balanced. Seven of the 12 teams with the highest points scored, are separated by just 70 points. Aside from some teams falling foul of 'any given Sunday', the scoring seems to be resulting in a competitive league.
  12. I don't get this argument that the changes have had an impact. We've removed one position (flex RB) and made some decimal changes to PPR scoring. The same number of players still exist. Maybe we should blame the players performances before our own? Many, many players have underperformed this season, many others have exceeded expectations. Just one of those things that requires research and being on the ball with the waiver wire. If the changes are truly to blame, say why and provide the evidence, not just the feelings.
  13. Ha ha, oh yeah? Waiting to see if he plays first cause I'm not going to make a decision on 7 carries alone. But at least I could if I wanted to...
  14. Not everyone can say that they have the ability to play 3 RBs and that's where the imbalance is. Almost everyone can play 3 decent WRs. If you have 3 spots, some people draft 4 or 5 RBs and the gap is wider still. 2 spots and theoretically you could get by with 3 RBs; then there are enough for everyone. The alternative if going back to full flex, is to revisit the scoring for RBs (or all positions) as inferred by @Brumerican We are a 12 team league, if we want every team to be competitive, 2 RBs feels like a reasonable compromise.
  15. I would still pick Washington if given the chance to pick again
  16. I don't. There just aren't enough good RBs in the league to justify a third RB slot whereas there are more than enough pass catchers. The current setup requires a bit more skill.
  17. Good to see how close the league is so far this season. No runaway leaders, no one team truly adrift. The games are close. A lot will happen over the coming weeks, but it bodes well and is an acknowledgment that we may have finally got the scoring mechanism right.

    Unai Emery

    Would love to be able to buck that trend. We've got a good one here, I hope we can keep him. I think we can.

    Unai Emery

    The number of managers we've had over the past 40 years is alarming. No manager with more than 190 games (MO'N) in charge since Ron Saunders, Dean Smith the longest serving since M'ON with 138. Could Unai become the longest serving manager since Ron Saunders?
  20. I'm definitely going to go with the speed and movement of Achane as even against Buffalo, I think Miami will find a way. I think I am going to put Stevenson in for Robinson, but it's a tough call. NE play 31st ranked Dallas and Washington play 32nd ranked Philadelphia! Which of those two will have the best week?
