"Faris, Calvin; you don't seem to understand! This is not a thread about homosexuality! Girls can love Barret! Guys can love Barret! It's not gay! Barret's love is beyond any form of gay-ness. It is transcendent; like the sun and moon and stars! It's like loving God! Would you say a boy who loves God is gay? That's what I thought!
So please, don't fight. Just spead the love! And the Barret sexyness. RAWR! =D~"

I hear you brother. But his commentary for Soccer Saturday is so good that I don't mind probably as much as I should.Originally Posted by DK
if only this glorious bastard was still in the prem, guaranteed 500 points.
Windass and Holloway should have been in the PL forever and ever and ever. I miss Holloway. Surely we'd have had a good pre-season warmup rant by now.
EDIT: Also, enough talk about who is going to win the PL. Who's going to get relegated and who is going to get promoted from the Championship? That's six spots, so hopefully come end of the season we can remember to check back at it all.
I'm going to go with my heart for some.
PL Title: Manchester United
Top Four: Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool
Relegated: Norwich, Wigan, Swansea
Promoted: Blackpool, Nottingham Forest, Birmingham
Arsenal only losing out because they couldn't hold onto one of Nasri or Fabregas, and didn't buy a good replacement for Clichy or any of the rest of their defence from ten years ago.
Normally I'd say that Swansea would stay up through sheer grit but seeing Blackpool go down has taught me a harsh lesson there.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Rushden & Diremonds are signed up and ready to finish mid-table! (Did you physically cringe at the name? I know I did...)
PL Title: Chelsea
Top Four: Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal
Relegated:EvertonLiverpoolBlackburn, Norwich, Wolves (I was going to say Wigan, but they seem to miraculously stay up every season)
Promoted: Leeds, Cardiff, Burnley
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
I hope QPR go down. Warnock's bleating when he got utterly ruined was oh-so sweet the first time around.
Warnock has comedy value, but I don't like him. I can see QPR doing either quite well or going straight down again, but I suspect it'll be the former.
Personally though, I'm more looking forward to another one of Delia's half-time pep talks.

Generic Name FC fires up once more to prop up the lower middle order, just like Stuart Broad (except less tit).
PL Title: Couldn't give a toss, but Man Utd
Top Four: Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City
Yawn. Now for the only part of the Premier League that remains interesting!
Relegation: QPR, Wigan, Norwich (smurf you the Swans are eternal)
Promoted: West Ham, Notts Forest, Watford
EDIT: For the love of God somebody fix that ridiculous wordfilter.

Just had to replace Malbranque, because he disappeared to France. Going with Barton in the hope that he goes to a good club and plays every game. Might be a bit of a backfire.
Apparently there's still hope of a reconciliation at Newcastle. I don't know whether that's good news or not, depends whether you consider Newcastle to be a good club!

Rooney did it, Tevez did it, who knows, maybe even Joey Barton can do it. =|

Post your teams if you wish.
Mine (for now):
GK - Given (Aston Villa)
GK - De Vries (Wolves)
DF - Lescott (Man City)
DF - Richards (Man City)
DF - Brown (Sunderland)
DF - Gabbidon (QPR)
DF - Simpson (Newcastle)
MD - Lampard (Chelsea)
MD - N'Zogbia (Aston Villa)
MD - Taarabt (QPR)
MD - Sinclair (Swansea)
MD - Hoolahan (Norwich)
FD - Rooney (Man United)
FD - Bent (Aston Villa)
FD - Ba (Newcastle)
I think anyone who doesn't have Ba in their team is mental.
Ah, I was looking for a third striker and didn't notice Ba on the list. I had Gyan but having checked some reports from Sunderland fans recently, they all were happy with their side but not happy with his, uh, diet. Apparently he's put on a lot of weight, and isn't running around as well as he used to. I'm looking to swap him for someone, and I'd gone for Roberts (given that Blackburn have a game at home to Wolves) for now but wanted to change it.
Going by memory (site is blocked at work), my team is...
GK: Hart (Man City)
GK: Al-Habsi (Wigan)
DF: Vidic (Man United)
DF: Brown (Sunderland)
DF: O'Shea (Sunderland)
DF: Luiz (Chelsea)
DF: ??? (Completely forgot who else I have here, I know I made a change right near the end from Figueroa to... some other player)
MF: Nani (Man United)
MF: N'Zogbia (Aston Villa)
MF: Park (Man United)
MF: Emerton (Blackburn)
MF: Tioté (Newcastle)
ST: Suarez (Liverpool)
ST: Odemwingie (West Brom)
ST: Roberts (Blackburn)
I'll probably shuffle my midfield a little before the season begins, but we'll see. It largely depends on how much gametime Park gets. When he plays, he gets points, but obviously there is solid competition for places in that area. Nani I'm guessing will play more often than not at the start of the season at least. When Chicharito is fully fit I'll possibly switch him in for Suarez, but we'll see... depends on Suarez's form, obviously.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
GK: Howard (EVE)
GK: Moreira (SWA)
DF: Clichy (MCI)
DF: Evra (MCU)
DF: Hughes (FUL)
DF: Cole A (CHE)
DF: Taylor (SWA)
MF: Kuyt (LIV)
MF: Yaya Toure (MCI)
MF: Ramires (CHE)
MF: Huddlestone (TOT)
MF: Ferguson (NEW)
ST: Rooney (MCU)
ST: Gervinho (ARS)
ST: Graham (SWA)
That's right mothersmurfers, three Swansea players. The fact that they're all on the bench is immaterial.
there was a picture here
GK: Howard (Everton)
GK: Al-Habsi (Wigan)
DF: Hangeland (Fulham)
DF: Cahill (Bolton)
DF: Sagna (Arsenal)
DF: Jose Enrique (Newcastle)
DF: Huth (Stoke)
MF: Downing (Liverpool)
MF: N'Zogbia (Aston Villa)
MF: Jarvis (Wolves)
MF: Etherington (Stoke)
MF: Brunt (WBA)
FW: Suarez (Liverpool)
FW: Ba (Newcastle)
FW: Bent (Aston Villa)
I'm waiting to hear if Suarez will be ready for the opener. If not, I'll have to change my lineup a bit more.
EDIT: Also, I've been trying to figure it out, but what exactly does the Vice Captain designation do? Get you an extra 1/2 point for every point earned?
Take care all.
