The Criteria Draft - The Drafts

Ouch. Senna would have been a great pick for you. A lot of people who are adverse to tiki taka here have a sweet spot for that Euro 08 team, which for me as well was the most entertaining Spanish side in the three tournaments they won.
 
He was pretty good, actually - for a spell.

I procured, via dubious sources, some Italian beer a while ago. Never tested it until now. Had a bottle - and it ain't bad. Not great, but not bad.

This must be a sign, I think.

It was the perfect pick for me especially that i can't acquire the man who phased Senna out. I fully agree that the 08 side was the most entertaining of all the Spanish sides of this era.
 
So it has been established that the Charity shields and Supercoppa Italiana etc don't count as trophy's yes ?

They don't.

@rpitroda About the ballon d' or category (bronze, silver and gold) - we're talking exclusively about the old ballon d' or and the new, so-called FIFA ballon d' or, right? FIFA's own award (which preceded the "combined" award does NOT count)?

When i was researching him yesterday i came across a quote where he said that Ferguson wanted to sign him but the sponsors wanted an Englishman in Hargreaves instead.

Feckin' sponsors. But yeah, that sounds about right. Fergie had his eyes on Hargreaves for a long time but what eventually made him pounce could well have been something like that. We live in terrible times. Not that Hargo was a poor buy, as such - he clearly wasn't, just a bloody crock - but still.
 
I wouldn't have had the time for it, but I really regret that I'm not part of this crazy draft game. It looks fecking brilliant.

It really is fun, a lot of research going down to it and you learn the most absurd factoids about different players.
 
Get a move on, girls.

I want to make my pick before I become too inebriated (fighting off the urge to pick Fellaini for kicks as it is).
 
I thought i had a great one but it turns out he has played 4 European games. Without doubt the toughest criteria to meet.

Feck it. I'm going out if nothing happens within the hour. And then I may never be back at all. Who knows these days.

Potentially PM someone a pick?

Yes...but I have no idea who to pick. So, there's that. I need the rush of the moment to get the brain cooking.

Anyway, there should be time. I'll just ask the lady who owns the property I usually pass out in front of to kick me awake at dawn.
