For a start you can have my Fantasy Football team for this year:
As for your predictions, BRFC were awful last season, not even having a player with a cool name like Junior Ago-go could save you/them. For them to be promoted you're having a laugh. Plus Southend are way too good to be relegated first off, unless someone shoots Freedy Eastwood. |

Yea, Rovers Are Piss. Unfortunately for Southend, League One is not the same pushover that it was last season |

| Hey what is this - Gang Up On A Gashead week? |
| Posted by: Bettia Aug 2 2005, 03:56 AM | ||
Awful? No. Mediocre? Yes. Thankfully the manager's resisted the urge to chop and change as has been the case over the past five or so years, so a bit of squad stability should do us good. From what I've seen, a few people regard us as an outside chance for promotion, at least via the playoffs. Being an eternal optimist, I've gone one better. As for Saahfend, I didn't rate them that highly last year and I think they'll struggle. |

week! oh boy mate, you've got it coming all season save if city are relegated with rovers going up, but since you know NEITHER of those are happening.... yup, you're in for a long season  |

Perhaps City won't get relegated, but seeing as they're consistantly losing £1M a year, maybe they'll go bankrupt first just like they did in '82! |

It'll be spending their money on all those lovely new flesh-gold away kits, won't it, Vil?  |

City crack me up with some of their novelty away kits - their violet and lime green affair springs immediately to mind. |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Aug 3 2005, 07:38 AM | ||
Lime green and what, sorry? Yellow, did you say?  |
| Posted by: Bettia Aug 3 2005, 08:19 AM |
No, violet. You know, like that middle stripe on your flag. A fine colour on its own, but imagine it combined with the most garish shade of green you can think of... step forward Andy Cole. Lovely. |

| Looks like BCFC needs to employ some kit designers who aren't blind |
| Posted by: Nedalia Aug 3 2005, 11:28 AM |
| Classic stuff. Who comes up with these designs? |

| Hahaha, Star. By the way, anyone heard where Owen is headed? |
| Posted by: Starblaydia Aug 4 2005, 05:33 AM |
| He'll be off to ManUre or Newcastle, afaik. Though Newcastle can't give him Champs League football, which is what he needs. Arsenal said they don't want him because they're 'not looking for a centre-forward'... so why were they chasing Baptista all bloody summer? Can't be much fun being behind Raul, Ronaldo, Baptista and Robinho in the pecking order, can it? |
