The Fifth Redcafe Sheep Draft

[Ecstatic]

Teams without a keeper also did not try to get Mandanda in the last round either.

The #2 French GK according Deschamps would have been a good idea in this context.

PUZZLES 3 AND 5: Three didn't lend itself to very funny answers, just technically correct ones which weren't as simple as the actual one. Five was mostly guessed as variations of Iron/Irons or Bolton.

Exceptions:

Gio: they famously used 3-5-2 whereas the other two didn't

P-Nut: West Ham, known as the Irons and have a female high up the leadership in Karen Brady

harms: The actors names are Gemma Whelan and Alfie Allen => Glenn Whelan and Joe Allen played for Stoke together.

harms: Arsenal. Theon/Alfie supports Arsenal, plus his impotence in the series also goes well alongside their public image

Enigma copy pasting anything on the web even if he couldn't understand half of it:

Spoiler: Beware the essay

Stoke City – House Greyjoy

“What is dead can never die, but rises again, harder and stronger”

A bleak collection of unforgiving stone edifices set against a backdrop of grey and cold waters, Stoke and the Iron Islands share many of the same forbidding characteristics. Their fortress at the Brittania Stadium has become synonymous with a hard and dreaded game of football as much as Castle Pyke has with the fearful promise of a descending hoard of rapists and pillagers.

All those who travel to the Brittania must be prepared to pay ‘the iron price’ with their players for the rest of the season. It is also widely believed that their sigil – the mythical deep sea monster, the Kraken – is in tribute to former legendary manager Tony Pulis. No other creature has ever risen from the depths of league football to strike such terror in the hearts of men.

if not Stoke, probably the answer is West Ham United:

Its apparent from the episodes of Game of Thrones that the Greyjoys are universally disliked and somewhat feared. They are noted for their harshness and brutality and have a way of life completely different from the rest of Westeros. Another trait of the Greyjoys and all Ironborn is their high opinion of themselves. There were two Premier League candidates to represent House Greyjoy, West Ham and Stoke. Both teams play a very physical, bruising style of football and most teams do not enjoy playing against them. The choice is West Ham because no sets of fans in the Premier League have a higher opinion of their football history and heritage than West Ham fans. They always talk about ‘playing the West Ham way’ but have not enjoyed a period of great success since the 1960s.

And add to that Hammers and the iron islands crap I read about that Greyjoy stuff.

@mazhar13 owes you all his detailed analysis of each and every German game at the 1982 World Cup, the hairstyles of all the rival goalkeepers and German forwards, and how therefore that could only be Uwe Reinders scoring against Chile.

You have some top players tho so will see how you'll set up. Have no idea at the moment whether you'd go with Maradona and the beach boy so you have the element of surprise

Have to do some research on your sheepesque ones to see what I can expect. Didn't even know you had a keeper until anto mentioned it, but still an upgrade to the last draft acrobat.

 

[P-Nut]

Monday then?

Yeah can do I'll get a write up done after the game.
