The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thread

The Theycallmedan'lboone Season Contest. Currently I have all of the responses below, season starts Sunday, I most likely won't be keeper. Lumpold I need how many goals allowed. Anybody else in? it's for a 5ver of cigars, Predict the Win/Loss/Draws from a 10 game season with the number of goals allowed and how many I score as the first and second tie breaker.

Don Fernando
I am going with 5-3-2 you will score twice and your defence will allow 11 goals.

Joey
I'm going with 3-4-3, You'll score 2 and allow 20

Jason
I know nothing of your league or Team Pittman but I'ma go with the classic 4-4-2 setup, a bit of a drought for you I'm afraid at 0 goals and your defense will allow an average of 1 per game so, 10.

Lumphold

The Misfits PL10 W3 L1 D6 GD+4
Daniel 'Jaime' Boone's season was highlighted by his only goal of the season, a sublime header from an inswinging corner, scoring the winning goal in a nail biting 4-3 victory over Arsenal.*

[Lumpold]

Oh. Er.... I go for your defence will let through...... 15 goals. Including one spooner of an own goal

that's what i like to read.

well lets be real, fulham will need as much as they can get to beat/draw with united. GT you want a chance at a 5er of cigars? you should play in my contest!

[GTsetGO]

what is said contest?? show me the way and i will see.

top o the page lad.

anybody else? beuller?

Pick how many wins/ties/losses my brand new team will have this season out of 10 games. Obviously I think we'll go 8-1-1. Tie breakers are how many goals will I score, and how many goals will my defense allow.

[GTsetGO]

well. don't i look like an ass.

*lifts skirt and heads to top of the page*

[GTsetGO]

Is this an adult league, regulation size field?? if so, this is my guess

7-2-1

goals scored - 4

goals allowed - 9

regulationish field. mighty generous about 4 goals. did I mention I'm a big jamie carragher fan? If I score an own goal lumpold gets my humidor.

[GTsetGO]

yeah, forgot to ask what position you will be playing as you said you won't be playing keeper

oh just about everywhere, utility player, defender, winger, striker, left back sweeper, goalie at least once I'm sure..

[GTsetGO]

I am my teams "starting" keeper and play right mid when the games are out of hand. We start the playoffs for the Co-ed season this saturday and then it is on to the fall over 30 league. those are always fun as our team is good for those seasons.

see if you can swing a spot as ref, I think your team will excel in that case

I am not looking forward to the spring season here, I am 40 today and will likely be playing with my nephew and half his high school team. Not sure we'll be fielding a full squad every match. If I die before I have to pay up on this fantasy league just get hold of my wife and tell her which team you support, she'll have her orders and fill yours.

wow, well don't drop dead old man, I've got 2 50+'s on my squad one striker, and one defender. You've got a long way to go.


on the ref note.. it might actually be called properly too.. ;-)
