Romo

Right, I got it... no taking advantage of the fact i'll be sleep deprived! I don't want to wake up and find out I spent £200 on Kevin Kolb!

Just making sure I have the rules right... You get given a budget and then have to make your picks and keep within the budget

Yeah if we want to get started on the predictions now aswell, we've got a full week this time instead of a day so hopefully we can get some more involved! I'll update the first post with the table aswell in a little while. heres my predictions for the games Wednesday 22nd August: Chelsea 3 v Reading 1 Saturday 25th August: Swansea 3 v West Ham 1 Aston Villa 1 v Everton 2 Man Utd 1 v Fulham 0 Norwich 3 v QPR 3 Southampton 2 v Wigan 1 Sunderland 1 v Reading 1 Tottenham 3 v West Brom 0 Chelsea 0 v Newcastle 0 Sunday 26th August: Stoke City 1 v Arsenal 1 Liverpool 1 v Man City 4

Glad its nothing serious, with Witten out and Austin hurting we need bryant!!!

Apparently Robin Van Persie made his debut for United tonight... I watched the entire game and I didn't see him... but I did notice Jagielka and Distin's pockets looking mightily full

A news site over here in the UK are saying that he had been diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer, which if the case I guess he was just ending it now before having to suffer through the cancer so sad I hope his wife and kids are able to get the space they need from the media.

Just watch, Theres a reason I've put Torres in my dream team he'll go goals galore at Chelsea the formation that Mav put is the one i'm expecting aswell until they play a team that is better then them and then they'll go Cech Ivanovic_terry-luiz-cahill-cole lampard-ramieres-essien-mikel torres

Yeah I really do hope Torres does well though, admittedly i'm a fan of his! once they get all the team fit and ready Chelsea could do alot of damage and if Torres can get going he'll get 20-30 goals! 4-2-3-1 would be the best bet with the players they have Hazard & Marin out wide with Mata in the middle and then just let them switch round and find the space!

Yup RVP was always a good player in an average team, I mean don't get me wrong Arsenal were great but all their big names went to the big clubs and then all it took was RVP to be the only one who scored goals and then he gets hailed a god. Totally agree I've been a fan of Hernandez for a long time and theres not many better then him when you put him inside that penalty area! depending on the Torres situation (if he plays well or not) then Chelsea could be a team who may be interested in him! Completely the whole Modric to Madrid has gone crazy, Spurs screwed up, they rejected £40million expecting Madrid to go higher but when they refused and just went lower they backed themselves into a corner!

Personally I think RVP is highly over rated. He's had one decent season in an Arsenal spell filled with injuries and I don't see Rooney & RVP working well together, both will want to be the centre of attention and the main man, eventually they'll collide. I feel had for Hernandez in all this, he's now fourth choice striker in a club where arguably he's a better finisher then all of them. Finally got round to watching the highlights of the games. Southampton look like they'll be the dark horse team, this years Swansea is you like, Lambert will be a massive player for them he'll score plenty of goals in similar fashion to Grant Holt. Tottenham need to get rid of Modric now as they truely needed the money to 1. Get a new goalkeeper, friedel is good but not as good as he used to be, the guys 42 years old, they need a new young fresh keeper and have friedel tutor him. They need a target man striker like Fernando Llorente, they've got two of the fastest wingers in world football and yet they've got no target to hit in the middle. City fans need to pray that Aguero isn't out for long luckily if his tweet is anything to go by, it should be weeks not months Swansea look good but I mean Bolton beat QPR 4-0 last season and look where that got us... Truely hope QPR go down... Arsenal are screwed, Giroud and Poldolski are average at best strikers they've just lost Song to Barca and eventually Walcott will see the light and go off elsewhere. Newcastle looked good, HBA if they can keep him happy he'll be world class but the problem is if a big club comes in for him, his ego takes over and he'll be off.

Right okay yeah I'm down for that.

Locker officially named the starting quaterback http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000052160/article/report-titans-to-name-jake-locker-the-starting-quarterback?campaign=Twitter_atl_mcintyre

so this 10pm stuff is that EST?

Just think, they've got from Kurt Warner to this in the past few years

Swansea fans must have been wetting themselves, Brendon leaves um and then they go and stuff QPR 5-0 and then to top it off Liverpool lose 3-0

Lions & Ravens I like both sides and do keep an eye out on their performances I like Lions more so they would have to win!

LMAO completely forgot to do mine I'll do the sunday/monday picks now Wigan (0) v Chelsea (4) Manchester City (6) v Southampton (0) Everton (2) v Manchester United (4)

I'm quite willing to stay up as late as like 5amish UK time to get it done, the only nights I can't do are Tuesdays and Wednesdays because I have work the next morning. If we were to do it at 11pm EST time on the Friday which would be 3am UK Saturday morning and then for our Aussie friend it would be early Saturday morning depending whereabouts in Australia he lives.

Players will never learn because $21000 is nothing to these guys they earn more than that weekly! funny thing is a football (soccer) player called another player a choc ice and got fined £45000, crazy minimal difference in fines from aggressively tackling someone and then borderline racism

ah right thanks, you can lock, delete or do whatever you want with this thread now

So basically I was just wondering if during the season you have a game where you predict the outcomes for all the games, its not a massive game that takes hours and hours to play its just a simple game that, if you don't play it would you be interested in taking part in the game??? How the game works is each week the fixtures get posted and then you predict the scores, 0 points for getting it wrong 1 point for the correct outcome and then an extra point for the correct outcome and the correct score... scores get totted up weekly and then at the end of the season you have your prediction league winner. Also i do understand that the majority of this post doesn't make much sense... i'm just too tired to want to go back and edit it

I'm not sure if you meant this or not

Thanks, bout time I dusted off photoshop

I made a real dumb ass error, I've forgotten to save the PSD file
