I PM'd Max at half 11 so he knows he's on the clock

I’ve just done the same for Lin.

[Lastrador]

Sorry for the delay lads. Early hours in these lands.

[Samie]

Pretty sure Lewandowski is German lads.

[Max_powers]

Puskas is allowed correct?

[El Lobo]

Have to say....actually a little surprised so many strikers are going early. From my shortlist (which is a work of art by the way) I've got absolutely loads of top strikers, and many from pretty obscure countries.

[Lastrador]

Yeah, there's ridiculous world-class depth in the striker department. Not so much in other parts.

[Crosby Nick]

That’s because some of us Mavericks don’t have a shortlist yet. And in fact, given I’m resting on my laurels, and a bit busy, I probably won’t bother.

This title defence will be up there with Leeds United in 92/93.

Yeah, but this is RAWK drafting. We're all going to pick about 10 strikers each.

[Lastrador]

I think I have a pretty good idea of who you're going for. It would be pretty topical. 

[Betty Blue]

I don't even know who I'm going for, so I'd be surprised if you do   

[Crosby Nick]

Max, think you’ve picked Alf Roberts by mistake.

[Lastrador]

I don't even know who I'm going for, so I'd be surprised if you do 

Fair enough, I still would be pretty surprised if you don't go for who I have in mind. Not Hazell Redondo's or Samie Gullit's levels surprised, but close.

[Lastrador]

Haz you fucker. Two great picks in one go.

[El Lobo]

Hard to be annoyed, no chance either were lasting another 6/8 picks!

[AndyMuller]

One horrible man Hazell.

[Crosby Nick]

One horrible man Hazell.

He is.

I do t like him in this Draft either. I too can’t be annoyed, mainly because both completely slipped my mind. Laudrup is a great pick. I suppose his hair was just bouncy enough for Hazell to be a fan. Also enjoyed him in Crowded House.

[Lastrador]

You never know, I always try to be optimistic. Tubby might get entertained with dessert and miss his pick. Lin might be occupied on an anti-vax protest and also miss his pick, and then you have Laudrup or Souness there for the taking.

You can blame Lobo as well, I was going to pick a striker but saw his post saying there's loads left so changed my mind.

[Linudden]

Too many covids there

[Hazell]

Now I just need to find a striker when it comes back around to me. Jozy Altidore's American isn't he?

[Linudden]

Luka and Yaya. Adds some nice flexibility going forward.

[Lastrador]

Love me some Hristo.

[Linudden]

Love me some Hristo.

For some reason he was a proper shitlord as manager in FM2010. I remember once with Valencia playing his Barcelona side his team injured three of my players requiring instant substitutions the twat Not to mention his brick wall 3-5-2 at Aston Villa that was the only team my Middlesbrough team couldn't find a way past. Dammit.

I will never know how such a shite manager turned into such a pest to play against in that game!

As a player, no question that he was amazing although probably should've scored a few more for his talents.

Mercurial hotheads don't usually make for great managers, except on simulations it seems. 

I love him as a player, had it all you want in a forward. Pace, strength, skill, great finisher and assister, and was an absolute madman with an incredible will to win.

[Lastrador]

There goes Betty's Sheva pick. 

[Samie]

Ahhh what a forward lineup. 

[Linudden]

Ahhh what a forward lineup. 

At least you've sorted your presidentials

To be fair, I've usually bested him and bar a lucky CL win he won fuck all at Villa

[Betty Blue]

Dammit, Samie. I had the best picture of Weah lined up

[Samie]

 



That is a boss pic but you can't deny me my Weah.

[Betty Blue]

That is a boss pic but you can't deny me my Weah.

And you picked the definitive one for once too 



Are we pasuing for the match by the way? I'm ready to go whenever, but might not be fair on Sir Bobby to plough on.

[Drinks Sangria]

I think we usually pause for the game. Only fair as none of us will be paying attention to drafting for a few hours at least.

I’m all for Bobby having til 08:00 tomorrow AM to pick, unless others can think of a fairer idea.

[El Lobo]

Yeah pause for the game. He’ll be in bed by now anyway bless him

I remember the days I was picking Chelsea or Man City Weah. Fuck me! 

[Drinks Sangria]

Shall we try and get moving again now?

[El Lobo]

Yeah I'd say Bobbys hour is up at 10

[vivabobbygraham]

on it now

[Betty Blue]

Crisis averted. Sorry about that. Assume Bobby has been PMed already?
