Finally in week 20, I have overtaken the great (not really) Robert Pittman. I'm on top of our league, Liverpool is on top on tables, I'm visiting the sister in England, Life is good. Time to go celebrate the New Year London style

you're a dirty man joey, a dirty dirty man. Tell Jill I said hey, bring me back a pint... or two...

7 stiches for Xabi Alonso, he might be out for a few weeks. And Chelski, oh oh, a draw against a league one team? Shame on you!

Congrats to my new favorite club: Nottingham Forest!

Liverpool and Everton in the 4th round! THATS PRETTY INTENSE!

Transfer window is already hot n heavy. How are things in the place of the people I hate, Jason?

What is this Futbol you speak of? Is that Manute's brother?

look the bammer is avoiding the sugar bowl thread!;-)

Jermaine Defoe is soon to undergo a physical with the Spurs staff.

Tevez wants his stuff straightened out quick fast and ricky tick.

Giggs admits he's bloody ancient and needs to retire soon, before he's old(er) and worthless.

boro have said stewart downing is going nowhere. where you going? No where.

Landon Donavon, the (former) boy wonder of the US national team has completed his loan move to Bayern Munich. He could feature on the 30th.

I've been busy rearing kids. I commented in your little thread, just for you sweetums.

The only thing you'd be interested in is golden balls at milan. They beat Hamburg today in Dubai, Beckham started. Ronaldinho and Kaka both have come out in the media over the last couple of weeks and said "gee, wish Dave would stay longer than his loan".

Beckham steals CRonaldo's transfer window soap opera thunder.

dear God in heaven, if it's not one soon to be ex-united player it's an already ex united player. beckham won't be back in the US, to play.

Looking forward to having ManU ruin you life again in a few months.

Mini-contest-threadhack-

My winter league team starts thursday night- you get to pick how many wins we will have out of 6 games from Jan-Feb. Pick the correct amount of wins- win 5 cigars. tie breaker will be how many goals are scored against us for the season.

Full disclosure: my team "should" be better than we were in the Fall.

and someday Everton will be the biggest club in the town of Liverpool

you guys are bunch of bastages!

aldukes:

4 wins 1 draw, 1 loss ( do y'all do draws? )

speaking of local teams... my season starts, well, February, but I may not be on the same team, as the captain and I had a bit of a bust up last year... ( imagine, me and someone having a row )

[Don Fernando]

3 wins, 2 draws, one loss

goals against 13
