    Looks like im in League 1...

    I wonder who will finish in 2nd below me?


    Predictions:

    Prem Champ: HokemPokem - Real Madrid - RM are different class and he should walk this season.

    Championship Champ: Parawind - Too good to not be in the Prem

    League 1: :D

    League 2: Im gonna go with Paddy Small Balls because of his name.

    League 3: DjayForza because hes a frequent poster.

    Can't wait to get back into this :D

    One suggestion I have is why don't we have a cup tournament over all of the leagues? It'd be like our own FA Cup. Could get a few League 3 teams knocking out Premiership teams :)

    Agreed :D, well i have nobody to blame but myself for my current situation, except for maybe Neill Mellor. But my goal for this season is to teach a cocky young upstart a lesson he won't soon forget!

    Oh and Hokem has Chelsea, not that it will make much difference.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,920 ✭✭✭The Floyd p


    Pissed off that Inter and Bayern were picked

    Oh and yaps won't finish first if I'm in the league. :D

    Mod Note on Season 8:

    Hoping to get this kicked off over the weekend. This thread will be the main thread for banter etc. There was enough whinging and moaning last year over custom formations and everything else. There is no need for a repeat of the same debates this year and the moaning is to be kept to a minimum.

    The league used to be about banter and a laugh and we intend for this season to be that so anyone giving personal abuse, causing persistant arguments or stepping out of line again the rules of boards will receive a ban.

    Fixtures etc will be posted in another thread once team picks are finalised.

    Enjoy the league!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,565 ✭✭✭Parawind


    Will the use of video technology be allowed this season?

    Since we can save important match events and show the results online. ie: To prove a last man tackle etc.


  • Moderators Posts: 8,754 ✭✭✭x PyRo


    Lyon to win League 1, you've heard it here first folks. :pac:

    Yup if its required but the issue will be dealt with by the mods so save it and send us a link to the video and we will take it from there.

    excellent news, well done Mods, that could clean up the league a little(eg I dont know who was right but I remember an argument between Kirk the Dog and HokemPokem about a certain tackle). and well done Parawind, good suggestion!

    on who will win the Prem, i have a feeling Storybud will swing it this season, he's still a great player and milan are an excellent pick

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 701 ✭✭✭Paco Rodriguez


    Going to be the easy points opponent i think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    Yapa thinks I will walk it with Madrid......

    Pity I have chelsea though :p.

    Seriously though, chelsea are good and I expect top 3. Winning though, doubt it. Some quality opposition in there. Joe is consistent so look out for him and Corcaigh has won it before.

    Mistake! You sir shall be taught a lesson you shall not soon forget! If i were you i'd get practicing since i beat you 3-0 with Liverpool already and you couldn't manage a shot on target!

    It's about time you got a little conservative with your posturing, perhaps you should worry about how badly your going to get spanked!

    If it helps i back you for promotion 100%!

    Here look, I knew you'd bring this up. Yet you leave out that time I bummed you like 7-1 with Bayer Munich. I told you.. I was watching season 2 of Veronica Mars while playing you, so beating me 3-0 when I was Shamrock Rovers isn't much of a feat mate. I look forward to taking you down in the league. Just like in Blur, you're gonna be runner up! :D

    I know you've been confused for your whole life. Wondering why you have 2 Daddy's. Me & Kevin will sit you down one day. You can take my RS and I'll play CB for you sport! Daddy has lost his touch anyway. He can't hack it up front anymore.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,181 ✭✭✭✭Jim


    Looking forward to starting this now. I was hoping to get the same league as Kirby to stretch our rivalry across another game :)

    My defense has improved 100% in the past week so I'm hoping to do better than Wolves currently are IRL :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 151 ✭✭Public Executor


    Fair play for picking Wolves, man. Almost makes me wish I had picked Sheffield Wednesday. Almost.

    Don't worry I'm Stoke so if you're good it could be an easy win. May even be a top of the table clash, both attack minded sides....:P

    Yea, I only have interest in playing a team I support tbh, regardless of how poorly rated they are compared to others. If Wolves were already picked I'd probably have picked Bohs heh.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    League Details have been sent by pm to everyone that gave thanks to the rules thread.

    Those that didnt need to thank the rules thread and then pm for details.


    Fixtures will be posted by Mr Moon tomorrow


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,175 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Moon


    Week one's fixtures can be played by those who have thanked the rules and joined the league.

    Fixtures can be found here use the drop down menu to select your league and click on your team to see the fixtures, click on your opponent to see their name, you'll notice 5 names for most teams, divided into PREM CHAMP L1 L2 L3 to tell you which league they're in if you need to add them to your friends list

    I'll post up the fixtures tomorrow properly, please only play the 3 fixtures assigned to you for each week otherwise they'll be considered null and void and will have to be replayed
