I'm game. Led last season's Aug to mid-April. Having to hold my head up here on a weekly basis might just be the incentive I need to keep my eye on the ball this year.

In response to the ECB’s demand for guarantees, Bankio are putting up… Ronaldo and the Brazilian Kaka, who also plays for the Madrid football club. In 2009, Real borrowed 76.5 million euros to pay transfer fees of 100 millions euros to Manchester United, and 60 million to Milan AC."


The most expensive footballer in history may now be used to guarantee the solvency of a Spanish bank.

Seems like we have just about enough interest to make a league worthwhile. Any ideas for a name? The best I can come up with are

- Roiling Fantasy League
- Dissensusliga
- Serie D

Dissensible Soccer?

(As in: Sensible Soccer, the finest computer football game ever. Pro Evo? Pffft.)

This. Sensible soccer was fucking dope. Get the ball on half way, turn outside, turn back, boooooooooooom! One nil!

Also Norwich were really good on it cos the company was from there or something. And yeah a ring bound print out of the post dubstep threader the winner. Two print outs for the loser.

Yep, Sensible Soccer was the tits.
That Santos v Flamengo match had everything - fantastic goals, comedy defending, inspired comeback - it even had someone missing a trick penalty and the keeper juggling with the ball once he'd caught it to take the piss. It's like they'd been reading this thread and decided to lay it on for us. I wish there had been a sending off or two though, that would have made it perfect.
Also, staying with South America, here's the reaction of a River Plate fan watching his team lose - I think "You used condom, son of a whore a thousand times" is possibly the pick of his insults.

I'm kind of up for fantasy football, but whenever i've done one with my work before I'll just pick a team at the start happily enough, but I can never be arsed to keep up with it every week or change or tweak the team in any way and it just becomes a bit pointless. I once had Dean Ashton in my team for the entire season he was crocked, so I was playing with 10 men the whole time, and I still couldn't be bothered to sub him.

Excellent. You are exactly the kind of player I want in my league.
