Ha! Mid table obscurity for me...

I'll take being out of the relegation places having missed the first few weeks.

As I said, my goal was to finish above tomtom.....

 I neglected to manage my team....

3 years on the bounce! Time to get out at the top and avoid a humiliating Wenger like decline next season

A rich Arab Sheik has purchased a large stake in my FF team - are you interested in managing it next season?

[Richie Crouch]

I don't feel massively respected as either a man or a manager by the owners, it's nothing to do with money... although a nice cake wouldn't go amiss!

David Hockaday to Leeds as head coach not manager?? Who?

Oh, Forest Green Manager who got sacked after losing 7 out of 8 games in the conference. Sounds ideal 

[Jaspersharpe]

ROFL!

As cake is a recurring theme on this page, readers will be riveted to learn that the Culdrose Military Wives choir, every practice, have a `Break for cake`.

Things get even more metal at Leeds.

"Cellino completed his takeover of Leeds in April but only after an appeal against the Football League’s decision to try to block him entry on the grounds he had a previous conviction for fraud"  - unfortunately the Football League forgot to check if he was a raving lunatic.


Of course it could be that Fatty Kenny is the second highest earner at the club  , if you can't afford lunch or to wash the player's kit, you might find it hard to cover the fat lad's wages.

Personally I think he's a nutter though, well at least it won't be dull this year.

Here's a photo of lagers Paddy Kenny at the training ground, last week. Maybe when his weight hit 17stone the numbers were stacked against him.

Interesting piece on Suarez written before the world cup.
Apologises if it's a repost.

I find it interesting that Barcelona have signed Suarez, this being the same Barcelona that was given a 14 month transfer ban in April and Suarez, who is currently serving a four month ban "from all football-related activity"

Are we doing a Fantasy Football league again?

Just got a reminder email about it and as I'm going on holiday on Friday I'm determined to get a team set up before I go this time!

[fatneck]

I've set up my FF team. Who normally sorts the league out? Crouchy?

[fatneck]

Ha! Beat me to it Jasper!! Will text Rich...

[Jaspersharpe]

Ha ha. I'll set one up if nobody's done one yet?
