I'm inclined to agree. If Brendan Rodgers thinks Joe Allen is going to help them, he's obviously a poor manager.

Got my tickets for the first two away games. Going to Sheffield Wednesday and Peterborough next week. Never been to either stadium. Heard Wednesday had a cracking atmosphere and Peterborough is the only Championship team with a standing section so both should be a good day.

something I've always wondered, is football really popular in Ireland peter? or is it just watched by a few while most don't care about it in general

I'm still trying to work out how I'm supposed to feel with Van Persie leaving...

Am I right in thinking that's the one we leave alone for half a season and change once at the transfer window?

Ummmm yea. Surely thats how it should be done, why is there other fantasy football syndicates that do it differently?

@SC, yea the Premier League is as big over here as it is in England. In the north though, there are also huge support for Celtic and Rangers depending on what your politics/religion is. There is little to no support for the homegrown leagues, both north and south.

Check out the game at fantasy.premierleague.com and you'll see what I mean. Pretty much every week you're tweaking it as you have a starting XI plus 4 subs to switch in between games, you can make the odd transfer so if someone's injured you can ship them out for someone else etc...

And I'll be doing what REAL fantasy football managers should do... Play Football Manager instead. Then again, I'm on my 10th season, about to cement myself as THE dominant force in English football, and I've been hit by the crash dump shite. Oh, woe is me.

Michael Johnson will only do two things this season, and they both involve bars. Sittin at them or behind them.
