    Looks like a couple of you rookies managed to squeeze your way into pot 1 with the champs.

    World number 1s in pot two. Hope we get them so we can take them casuals out.

    Living on past achievements Jimmi, sounds like a man under pressure of the FSA Renegades coming to send your squad into the also rans of this competition!

    Ah, lookit we'll never have the budget to compete with some of these other sides. When you look at their squads, lads like Lemlin, busts, the French fella, lookit, they're premier division players! We just need to work hard and not make it easy for them. All I can guarantee the supporters is we'll not be found wanting for honesty of effort.

    It's the Ollie Horgan school of playing down your own chances to a comical level for the uninitiated.

    If by past you mean current champions then I guess we are. We're happy for you guys to ride on our coat tails on this one all you johnny come latelys will be dropping by the wayside pretty quickly once things get serious.

    I definitely think that is a good probability. Once it hits knockouts one bad week could kill you, but I think with our ORs we all have a good chance in a group scenario.

    The good thing about the team format is often you are able to ride out one team or even two having a bad week. Teams were rampant with their hits last year in the final we started 20 points up or something stupid like that talk about trying to take yourself out before it even starts!

    Ah lads it's no place for fighting yet. First let's all reach the Quarters and make full FSA Semis. Yeah, let's rule the world first and then have no mercy for each other to grab the laurel wreath :pac:.


    Our 5 FSA teams in the top26 (out of 80 teams): 4 top seed and 1 second tier. 3 of our teams in the GW8 top7 and 2 of our managers in the GW8 top9. If there was any time to praise ourselves, it is now :D.

    I probably jumped the gun on this a little. By my count it's a 16 point lead with Ayew vs Gomis and Naughton

    But the Mikita cup was a chance for the creme de la prems of the world to win a bit of silverware, you should be embracing this competition because you never know when you'll meet the anti Ramseys on an off week.;)

    They probably have Martin also which will cancel each other out.
