Too many players I’ve never heard of, now that I hardly ever watch the EPL. But thanks for the invite.

I found it thank you very much.

No interest whatsoever.

Thanks all the same.

This should be interesting. I don’t know much about soccer and know absolutely nothing about British teams.

Looking forward to seeing how this all turns out!

After 7 years away, I find I’ve never heard of most of the players, but I’ll give it a shot anyway.

Game starts this Saturday, and the league is filling up. Any late takers?

I’ll probably start a new thread for each game month.

Yes, of course you can **letters and numbers** - most welcome. But I think you only have until some point on Saturday. Best to get cracking today!

Btw, I’m not Gerard Houllier, even though my wingers and my fullbacks are playing on the wrong sides.

A healthy 13 teams now, good show.

Perhaps there might be some kind of prize, to be awarded at a British Dopefest in summer? I shall personally stump up for a measure of whatever the winner’s drinking and a packet of Panini football stickers.

I wonder if we should all chip in a couple of notes for one of those cups you see in sports/tournament shop windows . . like the darts trophy thing. Add a touch of Straight Dope blue and yellow ribbon and bobs yer uncle!  
btw, I don’t know who half the players are in this game - how many bloody names have you people got ?
