Fantasy football

[stephen2001]

For those of you that like playing fantasy Football, I have set up a Mouthpiece league on Yahoo.
All you need is a Yahoo ID and then goto this link http://uk.premiership.fantasysports.yahoo.com.

When you get to the page where you can choose to join a Private Group, the Group ID# is "20431", and the password is "brassband" (all lower case).

If I'm feeling generous, then there may be a prize for the best score at the end of the season!

Hope to see some of you there!!

[Pythagoras]

Great idea Stephen. Think I've picked a pretty good team.

[Mike Saville]

I'm gonna have a think and doone a couple of days :D

[dyl]

Nice one. Llanbabo FC for the league!!!!!!! ;)

[Cantonian]

Sorted as llandough57

[Pythagoras]

Come on people! We've only got 10 members so far. Even the Scottish Premier Division's larger than that!

[Mike Saville]

That's my team done - not sure I'll make many changes but you never know . . . . . need to get Steve Gerard in for Murphy . . . .

[rutty]

I'll join later on if I get time.

[manx_yessir]

Manxie All Stars added :wink: :D

[Bariman]

Now up to 13!

Can't see your team Cantonian let alone pronounce it

[stephen2001]

Now up to 13!


Cheers Bariman and welcome aboard. Can we have at least one more please! I don't like the number 13!


Can't see your team Cantonian let alone pronounce it

His team is called Namilow Hotspur.

There are 2 more days after this to get your entry in for the start of the season. You can join afterwards if you wish, although you will be a little bit behind as you team will start with a score of zero!

I am allowed a maximum of 50 teams so you are definately not to late to join in.

Hope to see you soon!

[Dan]

I will definately be joing later on today or maybe tomorrow!

:wink:

[Maestro]

All done except for one small thing......

Where do I find a list of players for my team!!!!!! :oops: :oops:

[Dan]

Yeah I had trouble finding that as well! You have to actually log in with a yahoo logon and password. It will then take you to an area where you can select your formation etc etc.

:P

[Maestro]

Got the yahoo id, got the formation, got the team name.....just 11 players gone AWOL on me. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, must be just like being at West Ham. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

[rutty]

[Dan]

Done :)

Me too!!! :D

Click on your team name and you should get to a page with 11 blanks in (or N/A or something like that) by each of these it will say edit and you click on edit and a list of players will come up for that position then pick 1. Do the same for each of the 11 spaces.

[Maestro]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ss...done it at last.

Ta very much for all help.

[Mike Saville]

Done :)

Me too!!! :D

Bit bright and sunny today Dan???

[geordiecolin]

Beware the Basque Samba Kings comin atcha like a freight train!!!

[Th'Edwards]

The Th'Edwardians are are ready for kick-off!!

[WONKYSTICKMAN]

Croxley FC are coming to get ya

[Bariman]

Getting good. 21 teams and I'm 4th in the table! Shame we haven't kicked off yet.

[stephen2001]

Only just over a day left to get registrations in for the start of the season, and there is still plenty of spaces left :D :D

You know you want to!!! :wink:

[dyl]

Who's 'Toriad Y Dydd' ???

[yorkie19]

Done.

Before you ask Arthur Albiston played full back for United in the late 70's and 80's.

[dyl]

Done.

Sam

Who are United? ;)

[geordiecolin]

Done.

Before you ask Arthur Albiston played full back for United in the late 70's and 80's.


Sam

Who are United? ;)

Leeds, Newcastle, Rotherham, Sheffield, West Ham, Colchester, Hartlepool, Peterborough, Boston, Cambridge, Carlisle, Oxford, Scunthorpe, Southend, Torquay, Dundee, Hereford and Telford.

And there's this team in Manchester who seem to think that if they refer to themselves as "United" we all know exactly who they talking about!!

It really annoys when in a Newcastle v Manure match report, the journalist refers to United pushing foward. Errr which one exactly???

[dyl]

Can't be Manchester United though, can it? If we're talking about someone who played for them in the 70s/80s, cos I was under the impression from Man Utd fans, that their history didn't start till 1992 - the same time as the Premiership. :roll: :? :wink:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Their history did stop though on 16th October 96, or so i'm led to believe. They didn't actually play a match that day!!

[Mike Saville]

Must be a Manchester thing - Man City fans refer to thier team as Citeh!

Waht about Bristol, Leicester, Cardiff, Swansea, etc!

[stephen2001]

Well, I support Wednesday!
As there's only one in the league, it should be easy to work out.

And yes, I am ashamed we lost to bloomin' Hartlepool in the League Cup last night :cry: .

[PeterBale]

Well, I support Wednesday!
As there's only one in the league, it should be easy to work out.

If anyone remembers the old Will Hay film "Oh Mister Porter", there's always Buggleskelly Wednesday :lol:

Anyway, you can't be much of a supporter if you only support them one day of the week - what about Monday, Tuesday, Thursday... :?:

[Pythagoras]

Well, I support Wednesday!
As there's only one in the league, it should be easy to work out.

And yes, I am ashamed we lost to bloomin' Hartlepool in the League Cup last night :cry: .

HaHaHaHa :D :D :D :D :D
Is there any limit to how low the pigs will sink? :wink:

pigs = Wednesday fans for anyone not from Sheffield

[Maestro]

At least they got beaten by a team nearer their own divison.
My lot went down to Northampton......COBBLERS :hammer

In their own division. Wednesday losing to Hartlepool is not particularly a shock :twisted:

[MoominDave]

Who's 'Toriad Y Dydd' ???

Me. Was feeling more than usually arbitrary.

WRONG!!!!!!!!!

I told LipService about this competition, and she tried to register her team before midnight, (11:15ish) only to find out that she couldn't get any points for the first week, but only starting in week 2.

No doubt I will suffer for more than the season now, plus the fact that I'm a Norwich fan as well will make it a very very very long and painful season.

You are all invited to the funeral. :evil: :cry:

[Cornetto]

Just entered a team for week two... no worries tho coz my teams obviously that great that itll still cane everyone elses by next may anyway ;) i wish...

[Borfeo]

THat's me in, not in time to get week one out the way though :(

What's happened here? I only posted the table last night and it's changed this morning without any games being played since Sunday? Is it just that Yahoo are slow in updating the results? :?

[Aidan]

g'wan the T-Horns :D

[stephen2001]

Is it just that Yahoo are slow in updating the results? :?


I think you've hit the nail on the head there dyl!
They do appear to be a bit random in the way it works!! :?

[neiltwist]

but still, 5th isn't bad for someone who doesn't even follow football!

[dyl]

I think you've hit the nail on the head there dyl!

Who cares! I'm top of the league! Mind you, when someone else is top next week, I'll be moaning!

[sparkling_quavers]

but still, 5th isn't bad for someone who doesn't even follow football!

yeah I know I hadn't even heard of most of the people I picked :lol:

[Aidan]

and ive just discovered that most of mine are out injured! :shock:

[Bariman]

Hey, I'm 2 of 26!

At least that sounds better than 18794 out of 186155! But I'll not get too complacent, it's a marathon not a sprint - only another 37 sets of matches to go.

[Pythagoras]

Have risen 2 places despite none of my players playing anymore matches :?: :D

[deave]

My team was **** last wk, but I'm sure they'll come through!!

I'm doing a Hoddle "don't judge me till my players are all fit!"

[dyl]

I'm doing a Hoddle "don't judge me till my players are all fit!"
As long as you don't bring in a faith-healer I'm sure you'll be ok!

[stephen2001]

Dunno about the random points changes.
It means my Mum's now ahead of me in the league :(

Deadline for entries is 11:00pm BST or midnight GMT if you want to enter for this weekend's round of matches!

[Maestro]

When can we make transfers, and how many can we do?

[super_sop]

is it too late for me to enter :(
this is the first year in a long time that i havent enterd a team :cry:

[stephen2001]

Transfers are unlimited.
Above your team list, there are links, so if you click on "Week 3 lineup" you will see your team, then as per other weeks, click on edit, and change you team.

And it is not too late too enter, you will have to play catch up. I will probably take an average weekly score as well so that those who haven't had a team in time for week one can relate to how well they are doing compared to the other teams.

[Pythagoras]

Whose still playing actively? Think that a lot of people can't be as some of the teams are getting poor scores every week. Looks like a 3 way race for the title at the moment! I'm always looking at my team, though don't change it much as there pretty good. Pythagoreans for the league!

[neiltwist]

had my internet access to it cut at work in the summer and went down hill, so i gave up :(

[manx_yessir]

Oops I'd forgotten all about this! :roll: Am I anywhere near the top of the league? :shock: I doubt it some how! :?
