Two away games! How can I pay my players? I need match day income.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

The random fixture generator has thrown up lots of "HOME" games for some and lots of "AWAY" games for others. Probably because the teams play each other only once. Good job home advantage doesn't mean much playing behind "closed doors" ;)

Firstly well done for setting this up again Ralphy 8-)

Who is this GiveusaB fella and has he been tested? :)

A N Other has been a trialist at Burnley for years, so he will be a difficult opponent.

I thought you'd played before Steve. Simply, "spot the ball". Exactly the same as was done in the 50's 60's and 70's in The People and News of the World papers on a Sunday.

Instead of putting a Cross where you think the ball is, you select a square, e.g., "F6" I'm sure your opponents will tell you how it's done ;)

I'm in the same boat, but more concerned about the travelling. With no overnight stops my lads will be knackered.

It might be an idea to put all the names that you have on a thread and ask if there is anyone missing, then give them a day to respond.

Don't worry. Once we have rounded up any "stragglers" the fixture list may change ;)

Don't worry Steve, what you need to do, especially when up against me, is pick the square you think is furthest away from the ball ;)

I’m in 12th position. If I slip you £20 can I start higher up the league?
