Trend loves vishy pick...

Him or Mascherano were my pick but thought I'd not get any other decent player who'd be able to play the formation I want to play, so went with him. 

[JerseyKloppite]

It's a privilege to draft Dirk.

[JerseyKloppite]

Now to wait 2 hours to pick again. Flash hasn't been online since Saturday

[Ebenezer-viva]

TBF, it's a really clever pick and because I am well stocked going forward I never gave him a thought. You've really opened a can of worms there, mate!

[RobbieRedman]

personally i think we should move on, Flash is a top fella but he's skipped every round, let's not waste 2 hours

[JerseyKloppite]

I'll leave it in Claus' hands, it's his draft.

[El Lobo]

I’ll speak for Claus....skip it along

Flash will catch up

[JerseyKloppite]

I know who I'm picking (unless Flash takes him) so if anyone who follows me wants to send me their choices I can skip it along when I get the chance.

I'm happy to PM someone my pick so they know I'm not pinching theirs

[deFacto please, you bastards]

I was thinking 1! That way you end up having to search for league winners from leagues outside the big 5/6.

Thats a great idea

[Hazell]

For a fan base that loves to remind people that football started before 1992, we don’t like to draft players before 1992 do we?

I'm guessing he demographic of most people means that they would have only ever seen Premier League players play. Aside from the the obvious pre-Premier League era players like Dalglish and Best (and most other Liverpool players), who have already been picked anyway, the rest are bound to be players who were part of the Premier League.

That comment was a bit tongue in cheek to be honest. I would be doing the same but promised myself to try look at other options if I was going to do this draft

Whats the hold up

Fair enough, Southall aside, I was just defending my picks

[El Lobo]

Blanc definitely the cheesiest pick so far

[JerseyKloppite]

I don't have enough star power to win the draft but I like my side a lot.

                                        GK

RB                   Van Dijk              Blanc                Ashley Cole

                      McAllister            Fabregas

Kuyt                                                                    Milner
           
                           Firmino          Anelka

[Betty Blue]

That crown definitely goes to Henrik Larsson.

Probably better sticking Milner in midfield and going 3 up top. Ashley Cole gives your great width down the left anyway and hopefully you can snag a decent attacking right back down the other flank.

Good shout.

[Elzars brussels sprouts farts]

It's really weird how few full backs are actually of a great standing when you look back, maybe it's due to the advancement and quality of fullbacks in the past few years... especially at our club.

[JerseyKloppite]

I might be tempted to play Milner at RB if I can get a decent CM in but we seem to be running short of those

When I saw him picked I assumed you had him at LB before I realised you already had Cole! Not a bad shout for RB, as you could probably do with a more defensive-minded DM alongide Gary Mac and Cesc.

[Ebenezer-viva]

That crown definitely goes to Henrik Larsson.

I have an even better one that I can't use?

[tubby]

O'Leary is a very solid pick, was going to be my second centre half until the rule change let me get Agger.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Back four of Lauren,Thommo,O'Leary and Irwin. Not too shabby

Never heard of Terry Cooper, what sort of player was he?

[Ebenezer-viva]

One of England's finest ever left backs. Played in the great Leeds sides under Revie. Was England's left back at the 70 World Cup. Quick, all left peg, though he could dig it with his right, got up and down. Played in a back four alongside Reaney, Charlton, Hunter that took no prisoners. Broke his leg, put him out for two years but was never the same.

2:44 watch. All you need to know about him and Leeds from that era

Thanks, looked very good on the ball, something which we don't really associate with fullbacks back in the day.

Great pick mate. He was one of my options.

Especially on some of the mud heaps they played on. In that clip he talks about six inches deep of mud painted green at Wembley ffs. Wonder now some of the fancy dans used to playing on carpets would have handled that!

[Ebenezer-viva]

Great pick mate. He was one of my options.

Ray Wilson was another but he never won a league with the blues which seemed odd to me?

[Elzars brussels sprouts farts]

Where has Tubs gone? Are you all waiting for me to leave work before it's my pick again?

Sorry, got distracted by video games.  Give me a min.

Lastrador kills it

Lastrador kills it

Sounds like he's been reading Konoplyanka's old wiki page. Just needs a quote from Chuck Norris now.

[Ebenezer-viva]

"Wor Bobby asked me if I wanted to buy some cup final tickets off him double bubble, like....so I chinned the baldy twat"

[Lastrador]

Not sure what are y'all talking about, those quotes are 100% legit. And there are plenty more:

"While swimming on my papi's nutsuck in sunny Spain, we used to watch old Leeds games together. He once said to me (pointing at his testicles): Son, I know you´re probably gonna end up in a tissue, but if you don't I want you to be like that man. Who that man was? No other than Jack Charlton." - Fernando Hierro

[Elzars brussels sprouts farts]

Max picked Kolo Toure before who is already picked. I PM’d him straight away but think he must have gone offline

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Claus your gimmick round after the draft better be good

[Gerry Attrick]

You've all been too kind to each other, both in terms of time you're affording and the respect you're showing.
