Have got 6 so far, 14 places left!! C'mon peeps. This is better than fantasy teams. blueyes.gif

Looking at the shite we've spent money on the past few years 3m for an established rb isn't too bad. Still got a good 2 seasons left in him at least I reckon.

B Especially at 31.

Would be perfect for our system, very attacking.

Inevitable. Paul Scharner.

Basically, this is a similar game to a fantasy league/ dream team thing run by the times, the twist is is you get a squad (20 players) and you get these players by ranking them. You rank all the players in the league (does take a bit of time but just bother with the goodens) and then each team is drawn a squad according to these rankings. Obviously each person will put the same 20/30 players near the top so who gets the good players is evened out. After your squad is drawn you can propose transfers with others in the league and also the remaining players who weren't drawn to any team will be available on frees that you can swap with any member of your squad. I have set up a league, but there's a maximum of 20 players per league, so get in quick!! It's just a bit of fun and it's well worth doing imo. If you do sign up you have until thursday this week to rank your players, the draw will take place on thursday. We're only competing against others in the league so it doesn't matter that the league has already started as we'll all start from the same place. Sign up here: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/playthegame - and the password for the league is allardyce. The league is called Newcastle-Online.

Shame Bolton haven't got a decent right back we could nick aswell.

Yes. Us and out tinted spectacles.

Take out Stevie G and Carragher and a few good signings on our part we'd certainly be not too far behind imo.

Haven't seen enough of him to make judgement, but he seems like a bit of a beast.

Yak. blueyes.gif Arteta oozes class.

Mwahahaha. Don't quite know why I'm so happy.

A very enjoyable half.

Have you got to grips with this at all? Spent a bit of time on it last night and it's a great idea. Might have to start a thread on it.

Don't underestimate Anichebe Im not, I just think they need another good striker to add depth and competition. If they get the Yak they will get that. Johnson and Yakubu would turn out to be a good partnership imo. Nice blend of pace and strength. Anichebe is going to out perform both this season in my opinion. If Yakubu signs, I doubt he'll get the chance to this season.

Think Spurs will win, Bent to get his first goal, Berbatov also. 2-0.

If Berbs gets injured they'll be around there no doubt. Looking forward to seeing more of City this season. Candidate for my 'second' team this season.

If he hadn't come out Anelka would have just taken it closer to the goal and shot, as it was he was unlucky not to save it. Just went past his leg.

Excellent.

Zogster! In my fantasy team 8)

aye. Funny guy too. A bit self-mockery in the studio at the start of the show btw, just remembered are Sky going to have that shitty score and timer thing down at the bottom again?! Oh christ, hope not.

Is that the one where you have to put the players in order of how good they are and then each team gets one, then the next team gets one, depending on where they have them ordered? I'm doing that aswell and it's fucking complicated, didn't know what I was doing to start with so have a shite order.

Actually looking forward to this quite a bit. Should be a good watch. That line up is a tad underwhelming isn't it.
