Did kps PM anybody?
False. Definitely can be argued

one of the more pg ones being honest.Not now it can't. Wait until the keepers are selected, then we'll talk.
With hindsight, it was actually an inspired pick. One of the top three keepers in the draft, not CL-tied... I picked on that when I first came on but as I get more familiar with what the talent pool is like and what different people have picked... It's probably middle ground in terms of third round picks, far from the worst, and it could serve him well.
Anyone else feel the overall talent pool is actually pretty huge?
Starting to really come together.
Very cute with the ball and the flags... Oh wait... Brown envelopes!!!!
Christ...that's one Google Image search I won't be trying! Great pick though. Thought you were going to struggle for wingers but he suits your team brilliantly. You've got loads of width from your full backs anyway, and its easy to imagine Cantona, Alonso and Messi picking out Ljungberg's super-intelligent runs. Your team is shaping up very well.
You've drafted really well there Jakey boy, looks great
Yeah, we really shouldn't have all flipped out when he said he wanted to play Messi out wide and Cantona up front.
Aye, its actually surprised me a tad. Very few obvious weak links visible in the teams so far, and there's still loads of quality up for grabs. I'm being as un-specific as possible here, but there's one player in particular that is going to be a steal for someone imo.
Yes. Looking at some of the players who have not and will not be picked, there's some real depth in many positions.

Indeed!
And re: having to double check about me, I've had a stomach bug and been in bed for a couple of days now
, that's why I seem to be the most active person on here.Yups, i think the one Pat is thinking about won't get picked, or will be a sub at best.
I'm sick/have very little inclination to move as well, hence me posting more in the past two or three days than I have all year!
Any idea where kps is from, gents? Has he gone to bed for the night or will he likely to be online within the next hour or so?
India, or the US.
Hope that helps...

You have to get better at the subtle patronizing!
By the way, Feeky. patronizing means treating someone with an apparent kindness that betrays a feeling of superiority.
weird font
That being said, I've really enjoyed this one so far, learned a fair bit.
Yes, a strong pick at this stage. Lightning quick, stylish and used to tear Barcelona a new one more often than not.
Indeed!

No worries. At least we have someone here that we can PM multiple picks to if necessary.
You always learn, there's always some player you didn't quite have a full picture on, or the odd random story... Less so with such a recent generation, but nevertheless.
If anything, the CL constraint has helped the younger ones here wake up and smell the coffee re: how different european competitions used to be, and how it didn't all begin and end with the CL. The UEFA Cup was a top quality competition.
Sure. It also helps if it is many of you as I can give people the heads up if their choices will go before their turn.
Brilliant player at playing on the shoulder of the defence. Once he was away you couldn't catch him and he always scored when 1v1. As you say seemed to tear Barca apart every game he faced them.
In fairness, Barca's defence was fecking atrocious.
True enough, poor Rivaldo and Figo had to perform miracles to keep that mob competitive while Real and Valencia were safely marshalled by the like of Hierro and Ayala.
There central defense wasn't that bad with the likes of De Boer doing well, it was that rightback (can't name) who was one of the worst defenders I've seen play for a big club.
Yes.
Aldo's talking to himself here, it seems.
It was the entire Dutch brigade if you ask me, but that chap in particular. What about the one who ended up sitting there picking a massive wage at Chelsea?
Although it is fair to delete that, I doubt anyone's really considering him for their team.
I did!
Dodged a bullet there nahealai
Anyone I can PM my pick to in case kps appears and tito is still online? Won't be around till the morning.
Go for it
