    Spreading rumours about Cyrille being gay is inappropriate...he only likes ladyboys

    also, he could gloat over jebus and jimmy and aaron

    it would be a good old circle gloat

    I'd like to gloat over ken and a few others, but when you look at their teams and realise they've got players who've been injured for months (benteke, mirallas and rodriguez for ken) it kind of loses its appeal

    still, I beat fred dagg, which is that idiot kiwi.... can't remember his name

    2090 is my highest ever points total.... but got me a rank of 685,000 and 14th in the SZ league

    1st year I got 1793, rank of 660,000 and 1st in the SZ league

    Oh, how things have changed

    Only decent year I've had was 2011/12 with 2036 points, rank of 106,000 and 2nd in the SZ league

    Some eye watering numbers here:

    Manchester City earn £96.5m for successful Premier League season | Football | theguardian.com

    The champions Manchester City earned £96.5m last season, according to figures published by the Premier League, a sharp rise from the £60.8m Manchester United earned from winning the league a year ago.

    In fact, Cardiff earned more from finishing bottom of the Premier League than United earned as champions, the Welsh club receiving £62.08m for finishing 20th this term.

    The league's new £5.5bn broadcast deal was behind the increase in payments, with second-placed Liverpool the top earners on £97.5m, a consequence of more of their games being screened live by broadcasters.

    Each club's payment is made up of 50% of UK broadcast revenue which is split equally between the 20 clubs; 25% of it depends on where the club finishes in the final league table; and the final 25% comes from fees each time a club's matches are broadcast in the UK.

    Premier League payments to clubs for 2013-14

    1) Liverpool £97,544,336

    2) Man City £96,578,329

    3) Chelsea £94,106,163

    4) Arsenal £92,870,080

    5) Tottenham £89,663,884

    6) Manchester United £89,161,831

    7) Everton £85,027,727

    8) Newcastle £77,379,252

    9) Southampton £76,915,298

    10) Stoke £75,679,215

    11) Swansea £74,173,056

    12) West Ham £73,671,003

    13) Crystal Palace £73,207,049

    14) Aston Villa £72,666,897

    15) Sunderland £71,700,890

    16) Hull £67,026,634

    17) West Brom £65,790,551

    18) Norwich £64,554,468

    19) Fulham £63,318,385

    20) Cardiff £62,082,302

    Total £1,563,117,350

    With leicester talking about spending massive money and qpr also possibly coming up clubs like west brom, west ham and villa had better get busy with the cheque book this summer or they are heading down.

    As it all just becomes more and more about money i've never cared less about my team.

    I'd like to see us playing in fkn stripes for a start.


    After that, well, a striker, two central defenders, a left back, right back, couple of midfielders.

    All under 28.

    We need that as a minimum.

    10 players out of contract right now including, ridiculously, our most improved player Billy Jones.

    We won't be getting to work on it early though. Why start paying them now when we won't need them until august?

    I can only think of 1 kiwi in the EPL: Winston Reid.

    Weakest Aussie side in at least 20 years but at least they have a good cosmopolitan mix of experience in leagues across Europe and Asia. Not all about the EPL. Still, the number of Aussies in the EPL and top leagues of europe generally has very much dwindled in recent years.

    What are the NZ team doing in June by the way

    The FIFA world cup fantasy is open for registration.

    Can't select your squad 'til June 8th however....


    A few changes to the structure.

    Have to choose an initial squad of 23 with an extra 5 free positions.

    Bonus points for pass completion and shot attempts.

    Should be interesting!

    Leicester aren't in the EPL mate. Not until next season anyway.

    Aus technically have three players in the EPL: Jedinak, Chris Herd (Villa), Curtis Good (Newcastle). Herd has contracted a 'mystery injury' every time he's been selected for Aus though.
