Teams vs Manchester United (a) (competition)


Recommended Posts

This isn't a pre-match thread, more of a mini-fantasy football competition.

 

The objective is to accurately name the Starting XI plus 7 subs for both Newcastle United and Manchester United next summer, plus the formation, final score, plus the first goalscorer.

 

Deadline is 23:59 on 30th June. Any edited posts after that run the risk of you not being entered if I haven't got you on spreadsheet.

 

I'm locking this thread until I've made the first few posts to explain the rules as well and as clearly as I can.

Fucking hell!

 

Done this before, about 30 people entered, hardly a precedent.

 

Who won?

 

Good question Souness was manager last time I had time to do this. Think it was either Aphrodite or Geordiesned.

James: six signings

Jawsome: two

George Bailey: three

mozy: four

gdm: five

 

Average: four signings

 

I didn't imply we'd only make 2 signings.  I merely stated that 2 new signings will be fit for the Man Utd game!

I'm just keeping a track for no particular reason; considering the negativity, an average of four is quite high. James is skewing it though. ;)
