Topic: Betty's Christmas Football Draft Draft Sign-up and Discussion Thread

[Crosby Nick]

you! If we can't pick a Liverpool player in a red kit no way can we pick him on a green kit. Great pick for atic player though.

Mate, I just spent an hour posting pics of Vieira, Keane and David’s, then searching for Maschersano in that green kit from 08/09 before seeing they’d all been picked already.

My kit man had a tough job on his hands with Molby and Puskas to cater for!

[Drinks Sangria]

Should we go back to Lawnmo, what’s the craic?

[Lawnmowerman]

I don’t know what I’m doing to be quite honest with you.

[Lawnmowerman]

Did I? Well it’s good you don’t hold a grudge.

[RobbieRedman]

Yes, no confirmation from others so lets get moving again

[Lawnmowerman]

Did I? Well it’s good you don’t hold a grudge.

800 years!!

[Drinks Sangria]

I’ve PM’d Lastro.

I usually like more of a blend of eras in my team and will be trying to correct that with the next few picks, but I like the balance of Fabinho, Yaya and De Bruyne. Power, skill, flair, passing ability and loads of goals.

[Adz LFC]

Happy to either wait a bit longer for Las to appear or pick if others are needing to pick and dash just after me?

[Drinks Sangria]

Do the next pick, otherwise we could be waiting some time.

[Hazell]

Do the next pick, otherwise we could be waiting some time.

Agh, I was basing the rest of my team around Toure being available. Damn you.

[RobbieRedman]

Top pick Lastrador, was 2nd choice LB for me but went in on Carlos early doors

[Lastrador]

Cheers mate, surprised he lasted so long. Yeah, Roberto Carlos was my first choice too, but I know he wouldn’t last, as you could fulfil some pretty tough requirements with him. Great catch.

[Chakan]

Koeman has changed an awful lot.

[Samie]

Kaka and Red Ron ever been in the same room?

[Hazell]

The follies of copying and pasting

[Lawnmowerman]

was gonna try get away with koeman for the festive pick with that infamous jumper

[Chakan]

Can I leave my pick with someone? Looks like we are done for the day and i'm next after Nick.

[red1977]

Did Betty pick up Chakans go? in that case think its Bettys go now?.

Happy new year everyone.

[Chakan]

Ty for the pick Betty!

[Betty Blue]

Happy New Year, lads.

[Betty Blue]

Note to all as we're approaching the last few rounds and people start posting formations. Can we all do them in this layout with the final category/rule after each player name. It will help me keep track and double check your picks.

[Hazell]

Will do, thanks. Always fancied myself as a no.10.

[Samie]

You expect me to play Right Wing? 

[Chakan]

I'm waaaay too short to be a CB, I did make a pretty decent AM though to be honest.

[Chakan]

You expect me to play Right Wing? 

Following in your idols footsteps. Well the Goat part at least...

[Samie]

 

Well that's true. But we've got Lobo upfront, he makes Darwin look like a Gurd Muller level finisher. 

[tubby]

Hope no one is expecting any overlapping from right back.

[Betty Blue]

Will do, thanks. Always fancied myself as a no.10.

It was a tough choice between that or the Redondo role.

Exactly 

I'm waaaay too short to be a CB, I did make a pretty decent AM though to be honest.

I didn't want to risk insulting anyone with the under 5ft 7 rule, so put that on myself   

[Chakan]

I didn't want to risk insulting anyone with the under 5ft 7 rule, so put that on myself   

Haha no worries! I'll take it.

[Samie]

We also got a shit defence:
A fat bastard at RB

A midget in Chaks and Lman is dodgy as Delboy

Max is more Alan Davies than Alphonso Davies.

[Betty Blue]

Just so no-one feels left out -

[Drinks Sangria]

Shall I pick?

[Chakan]

Shall I pick?

lastrador still has 30min.

[Lastrador]

Just so no-one feels left out -

On the B team, with all the draft retiree’s. I’ll take it. Gonna carve Max a new one with all my South American flair.

[red1977]

Think we have 2 Peter Schmeichel's on the go lads.

[Samie]

Lobo has the manc DS.   

[Drinks Sangria]

Lobo meant Kasper surely? No worries I’ll repick.
