The first thing I saw!! Be interesting to see how things will pan out this season.P.S. Have you noticed Stoke and Bristol's position in the expected points table?

All of the above actually happen, on all games played on fantasy Island.Things I wish players would say next year.
"I handled it, ref. It was a certain goal. We'll take our chance of saving the penalty. I deserve a red "
" come on ref, he doesn't deserve a red for that. It was a good tackle he had to make. See, I've got straight up, not even limping."
"I was offside,so I didn't play the ball. I knew I was because the defence put their hands up."
Wishful thinking.
Did you know our Matt Grimes has represented England in a sport played with a frisbee, but otherwise very similar to football?
The intriguing thing is that it is played without officials. The players call their own fouls!
This ^^^. As a lawyer I can tell you that this case would be rejected in any court in the civilised countries.There is a difference between questioning quality and performance, and challenging integrity. With the latter being the focus of bias and match fixing. Quality and performance is a legitimate criticism ... we all want to improve the quality and performance within the sport, any sport.
See ... I rest my caseThis ^^^. As a lawyer I can tell you that this case would be rejected in any court in the civilised countries.
And I wonder what the mighty Ducks would say .... or Tommy Smith .... “yes ref, I don’t like him because of what he said about your wife in the tunnel, and if he was half as fast as everybody else he would have got out of the way of my studs.Things I wish players would say next year.

Did you ever tell Ducks that????? I've lost count of the number of times I've seen a player being carried off quivering like a jelly, checking to see how many legs he's got left and either crying or screaming out loud in pain!! Meanwhile, Ducks is pleading with outstretched arms to an astounded, disbelieving ref that he had barely touched the guy in a fair tussle for the ball. The guy was a legend wasn't he?And I wonder what the might Ducks would say .... or Tommy Smith .... “yes ref, I don’t like him because of what he said about your wife in the tunnel, and if he was half as fast as everybody else he would have got out of the way of my studs.
Honesty is always the best policy. Cutting a long story short, I once had the need to call Ronnie Rees a f####### asshole right in front of the ref. Ref looked at Ronnie, then looked at me and said “you’re right”, and ran off.
Only from a distance under my breath .... and yes, he was overjoyed to dish it out in training, which is why nobody went near himDid you ever tell Ducks that????? ....
PS: And I have to add that the bastard, as you well might know, was not averse to giving his own team mates a thunderous clout in training or practice games if anyone was daft enough to take liberties with him.
ME included!!Only from a distance under my breath .... and yes, he was overjoyed to dish it out in training, which is why nobody went near him
