A Week in the Life in Lineker (Sponsored by "The Wife")
Someone once said a week is a long time in football, well they`ve never played FML then!! It's been long week for me, I've been off sick from work all week and I've forced myself to dig the laptop out of the spare room and while away the days playing FML (it's been tough honest). The good thing is I've not had to endure the travel into London from the Suburbs of Essex this week, No cattle class on the tube for me! The only disappointing thing is not seeing the Dog Track as you arrive back in Romford and having to put the laptop and mobile BB away, as the next stop is mine! Sunny Gidea Park, what a place!! And Home!
I think I've cracked this game; you can win it with kids! I'm sure someone said that you couldn't once, ask John Batty or Tony McCall (who by the why was pretty close to the mark this week with some poor Leeds and Yorkshire gags) and not even a warning!! Outrage!
So to season 2, the usual frantic purchase of players in the inflated Lineker game world took place and the build up too season 2 was firmly underway, its approaching 8pm and the climax is building then all of a sudden the mails arrive...we have officially started season 2 of Lineker!! Oh is that it? I was expecting singing and dancing girls and a brass band...
Into my first two games which I lost by the way and I thought...I've actually just wished this guy good luck!! Why do we do that? When all we really want to say is I'm gonna thrash you and i hope you loose! Then crazily at the end of the game when uve just been handed a 4-0 tonking u say Good game!! Well it bloody wasn't a good game for me chump!! But alas that wouldn't be in th community spirit!
There were the usual moans and groans from the usual suspects around wage auctions. ..Aguero Springs to mind and our resident Lineker Wage moaner had his usual column piece in the discussion emails.
I found myself fending off the poachers.You want to go fishing you go to the lake! I'm turning into Terry Tibbs, who for much of the week has been absent, Much Love Terry! (Don't worry they`ll fix the 451 "bug", Matt Payne will answer all your queries on thesubject though, what a nice chap).
So to the Real World (i thought i was in the real world anyway), Paul Ince is sacked after only winning 3 in 17 games, if you put this into context in FML how many would have been sacked i asked myself. I reckon i would have been for arguing with my chairman! Theres a manager in Lineker who`s 3 year old Son is his chairman, every day at breakfast he give his manager a grilling, "Are my team winning Daddy?" I wonder if the Blackburn chairman had the same conversation.
In other News the most amusing video of the week has to be the `lets chuck a shoe` at George Bush!
It was the funniest thing I've seen in the news for a while and it deflects from the usual redundancy and credit crunch stories... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7783325.stm. My thoughts go to anyone who is struggling at the min with the Credit Crisis, and I'm not talking about the FML one either!
The most amusing conversation i had this week was with a manager in a PM who was moaning that he couldn't find any decent players to `pep` up his team about, after a brief discussion I discovered that he had £6m to spend...Jog on Pal!
The 451 Debate
I quote from the HELP area:
"my point is that when you start playing this game, no doubt you have a idea have how the game should be played out in a tactical sense, many players who joined the game with many of their own ideas, have simply given up on those in a favour of a quick win formation exploit, they have seen the top teams success and got fed up with getting hammered every game and jumped on the band wagon! i don't blame them really, but what are they doing except picking players to fit into a formation and that they is unrealistic, they are not managing"
I think he`s gotta point!
Christmas and beyond..
If you purchased the 3 month subs..Soon your time will be up...will you carry on or will you dance off with Paul Ince into the sunset or jet off to Madrid with Diarra? Or maybe even go on a cricket tour with the England team?
If none of those appeal to you then sign on for another few months...you know you`ll want to!!
SO have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year, I'm off to Cornwall for 10 days as of the 27th but don't worry, my laptop and Mobile BB will be coming with me!( and I've checked the 3 map and they have signal down there!! No running water but hey I can get my mobile bb!! I couldn't be without FML for that long it would drive the wife mad!
Cheers All
