  1. It really wouldn't take much to fix though. Allowing trades would solve a lot of problems immediately.
  2. Still a chance my random hunch decision to triple captain Vardy might pay off . Milivojevic on the bench is mildly annoying.
  3. Sunderland definitely playing you next year. Hopefully Man U join you too.
  4. Oh FFS, forgot to put Young in my Draft line-up, he's on the bench.
  5. I'm not watching the game, but BBC said Barnes passed it to Wood who hit in the rebound after Schmeichel blocked it. Does Barnes not get an assist?
  6. It’s been in the stars from day one.
  7. Oh I know, but I can live with that to make it more of a "World" cup.
  8. I wondered how the breakdown would work. Apparently this is the likely deal: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/10/48-team-world-cup-fifa-plan-2026 Europe - 16 teams (was 13) Africa - 9 (5) Asia - 8.5 (4.5) CONCACAF - 6.5 (3.5) South America 6 (4.5) Oceania 1 (0.5) Host Nation So that's great for New Zealand . Asia has 47 countries so that makes sense. Europe has 55 countries, of a generally high standard, and Africa has 56, so that makes sense too. It starts getting particularly sketchy when you look at CONCACAF and South America. South America has a grand total of ten countries, so 60% of them will qualify. No wonder they're up for it. That would be like 33 teams from Europe. CONCACAF has 41 members, but 31 of those are in the Caribbean. Eh, I don't really care. I would say the more the merrier, if I didn't loathe FIFA with a burning passion.
  9. Yup. He was absolutely wide open in front of goal and about to bury it. It's so weird to argue that it wasn't a penalty.
  10. It was a penalty, but I don't agree Buffon should have been sent off. It that situation, id be fuming like, and Oliver should have had the presence of mind to realise the situation the game was in and take a step back. Players have been allowed to be utter cunts to refs for years. I'm all for a line being drawn tbh.
  11. Still a chance that our U23s might get relegated this year, although it's more likely to be Man U and...Sunderland. Could be fun having them in Div 2 next year.
  12. If you’re English, over-35 or so and don’t hate Liverpool then there’s something wrong with you. If you’re under 35, have ever been on RAWK and don’t hate Liverpool then there's something wrong with you. I'm well over 35 and lived through their dominace, again I never really got the hate for them, that I did for Manure years later. Maybe because we were never their rival, NUFC were abject in those days. Yeah, that might be. I never hated Man U anywhere near as much, because as a kid in North London you were either Spurs, Arsenal, or Liverpool. There were more Orient fans than Man U fans in my primary school - the only Man U fan was Tasos Anastasiou . Then when Man U really started to kick in we went to shit. I genuinely can't remember a single Chelsea or Man City fan. Honestly, I feel like I've been surrounded by sanctimonious, glory-hunting Liverpool fans all my life, whether at school or at work. At least there's more of a mix of glory-hunters out here in the US now - comedy Man City and Chelsea fans. If Liverpool win the CL again it will be insufferable.

  14. This. Who are the insane bastards who want Liverpool to win it FFS?
  15. Congrats on the win, and probably the title. Cheers. Hopefully next year they get trades up and running so people will be more engaged. They need to overhaul the entire site for drafts it's awful to use. They did tweak it a bit a few weeks in. Frankly, they should get our NFL thread fantasy league in as a focus group.

    Footy trivia

    Yeah, I thought it was established that the prime SF is Kitson, with others feeding some of the stories in.

  18. Someone said that there was a camera on Soccer Sunday or something that showed it. When I saw it live and on replay I thought that the defender might have touched him and he thought it was the ball. Hope he doesn't get it just because that would mess up my amazing FF week .
  19. I have similar feelings. Reading through the thread kinda reinforces them. I have a sneaking suspicion you're going to get gubbed, but happily it doesn't matter any more, for either of us.
  20. 86 before bonus points. This is weird - my gameweek rank is all the way down at 1.8 million, yet I've gone up in overall rank (up to 22,792) My Gameweek rank was 96. 96th in the world. At least that's something I can tell the grandchildren.
  21. Don't know if this was posted anywhere on here: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/5965054/premier-league-spent-211million-agents-2017-2018/ I like that Huddersfield appear to have spent just under three quid. Bus fare?
  22. Wow, 66!! Is that even possible from yesterday? I'm on 17 with 4 to come. Captain Auba and Azpi today too . I'm enjoying this week, at least. What's your team? That's crazy. Have 32 and the best in my league has 38. Well I screwed up by playing Foster and Lascelles instead of Pickford and Smalling, but the Bench Boost rectified that. Then I had Van Dijk, Milivojevic, Eriksen, and Vardy. Nothing special. That’s why i’m amazed that everyone else was so terrible. I guess people went for Kane/Lukaku or left Salah in?
