Lukasz Fabianski has spoken about his aspirations for the coming season. He highlighted his hopes and his excitement at the signings of Djourou and Kuszczak "They are quality players who deliver the goods every week"

He also spoke of his admiration for the backroom staff, Megan Fox received tons of praise from him "She is a pro and she really knows how to assist a manager, I want to get to know her better as she is ho- intelligent and experienced in footballing matters.

[Bammers05]

Djourou for £4m will be an absolute steal, if he plays.

[Cesc Fabregas]

He will, can't see Koscielny doing much better, unless Djourou gets an injury :(

[Bammers05]

Kos > Djourou :)

[Cesc Fabregas]

Army of 1 million FC is sad to announce that it will not be participating in this year's Fantasy Football League. The club headquarters has been sold to pepsi who intend to use it as a factory. The club has cited the new bidding rules, as the Egyptian owners have trouble bidding in the manner, thus putting it at a serious disadvantage. When asked about where he was going to this season, The manager said "I intend to move to the official fantasy football league". No news yet as to where the players will be going but the club has stated that it will most likely release them, to cover some of the lost costs. Lukasz Fabianski said in an interview "Well, the new rules are pretty bollocks and put us at a huge disadvantage, there was no way we were going to compete. I thanks the club and fans for their support and hope they are not too disappointed." The club president, Cesc Fabregas talked about a multitude of problems that faced them from the new bidding system for players, which included the time of bidding as well as the method.

The club were favourites to win the league as their manager was careful yet smart and quick when it came to bidding for players, and their players were real performers, bought for pennies. While other clubs had 400000 left for midfielders and forwards, Army of 1 million had 1110000 pounds left over.

:huh:

[PEM]

:huh:
Double :huh:

[Cesc Fabregas]

Double :huh:

Triple :huh:

[Bammers05]

Tbf my :huh: was at 'The club were favourites to win the league'

[Cesc Fabregas]

Everyone knew I was the favorite to win it, people just didn't like talking about it.

[PEM]

my :huh: was at the fact that he said the new rules are bollocks when they are pretty much the same but now just use chatzy.

[Bammers05]

Everyone knew I was the favorite to win it, people just didn't like talking about it.

If your team's such favourites to win the league, perhaps you should stay in the FL and prove it :hmm:

I don't think he's got the balls to do that Bammers. :iransmug:

[Cesc Fabregas]

Yeah but bidding times suck for me, besides the fact I can't be arsed to even ask what Chatzy is(obviously a chat program, unless i'm wrong :S) and download/install it.

[PEM]

its the same time frame as before and its an ONLINE Chat room. Just google chatzy and create a room and send me and sminky the link. Simples.

but to be fair, Phat is right, you aint got the chutzpah

[Bammers05]

Yeah but bidding times suck for me, besides the fact I can't be arsed to even ask what Chatzy is(obviously a chat program, unless i'm wrong :S) and download/install it.

Chatzy's a site, where you can very easily and quickly set up your own chatroom - basically all you have to do is create a username and password and you're done.

As for the bidding times, they go on all day, so I'm not sure how they're bad for you.

[Cesc Fabregas]

I read it as 4pm to 7pm. :S

Don't even need a password, just a username and the name of the room. Here's the link Cesc: http://www.chatzy.com/

[Michu]

I read it as 4pm to 7pm. :S

I scrapped that. You can bid any time. 3 bids max per day though.

[Cesc Fabregas]

The club has decided to un-liquidate for the time being, the players have started the celebrations already. Interviews coming soon
.

When did everyone start bidding btw?

[PEM]

.

When did everyone start bidding btw?
Today.

[Cesc Fabregas]

Alright, I created it but I'll need one of you to walk me through it since I'm not sure I completely understand.

[Cesc Fabregas]

In the midst of all the excitement within the club, Army of 1 million is proud to announce the signing of Chris Baird from Club Universidad de Hounslow for a fee of 5 million pounds. The manager and the players are ecstatic with this new signing who is the just the type of players the team needs.

[Ali_BWFC]

That's 22 players by the looks of things. 1 more than the allowed amount. As a result, I think you should have to forfeit RVP to the person who discovered your rule breaking..... ie me.

[Cesc Fabregas]

I'm aware but Iron said we don't have to trim the squad until before the next gameweek. So hands off RVP.

[IronCity]

I was thinking more that gervinho was who busted the 21 so he should have to forfeit him back to me free of charge.

[Ali_BWFC]

It wouldn't have been Gervinho that busted it, since it was a player swap. It would have been one of his auction signings. Surely he should have to foreit one of them?

[Cesc Fabregas]

Want Tevez, Ali? Maybe Squillaci?

[Ali_BWFC]

Well, you've already released them.... so if I did, I'm sure I'd go in for them.

Shaun won't be in the starting 11 Cesc, he was dropped against Liverpool on Wednesday and Taarabt took his chance to impress.

[Cesc Fabregas]

Thanks Smink

SWP Out ---> Raul Mereiles In.

[IronCity]

be sure and change your lineup page as well - you can use the post above as a time stamp but it helps me to fix your lineup when changes spill over to a new page.

I would have thought Taarbat would be replacing Barton.

Nope. Barton is captain has been played on the right this season and Adel has always played on the left, say for a couple of games. That is why Shaun has been playing wide left. Although to be fair to Shaun the lad has lost a lot of pace and confidence and mainly wants to play centrally.
