New League - what would get you involved?

by **Afro** Wed 28 May 2014, 8:29 am

First topic message reminder :

A lot of the old leagues have died off and there is a general sense of apathy towards the old styles.

This page is for anyone and everyone, past, present and future, to put down their ideas and thoughts of what should or shouldn't be in the old league. It is free form and no idea or criticism is a bad one. Lets get something going and breathe a bit of life into the old dog.

What things did you like in the previous leagues?
What things put you off in previous leagues?
What fresh ideas have you got for a new league?
What would definately stop you joining?
Plus any other things that spring to mind.

And remember to respect others ideas and opinions. It is okay to not agree with someone else, but any criticism needs to be constructive and have justification. Any bullying, bickering or just generally being disrespectful will be deleted.

I actually think starting lower league teams could be fun but I doubt it'd be popular

Fulham
Norwich
Cardiff
Derby
Wigan
Brighton
Forest
Reading
Blackburn
Ipswich
Bournemouth

Anyone but Norwich. They always end up being irretrievably sh!t.

Depends how many managers.

But say it is 8, then select 8 teams based on TM team values. i.e. pick the first team under £50m and then the next 7 teams on the list. this could be all teams, British, European or just from specified leagues.

These are then randomly assigned

To answer your earlier question Afro, we have a special offer on Brazilians this summer to celebrate the World Cup. We also have two new styles for gentlemen to try - the Keisuke Honda and the Roy Hodgson:

New League - what would get you involved? - Page 2 Keisuke-honda-haircuts

New League - what would get you involved? - Page 2 Keisuke-honda-haircuts

New League - what would get you involved? - Page 2 Roy-Hodgson-008

The Roy is particularly pleasing to ladies, as our customers tell us that ladies like the more mature look. Each new style costs just £19.99, including colouring and a trim.

If we had 8 managers, that's three games per week plus one manager voting and one doing Sheep/Rumour Mill. That sounds manageable.

On talk of hairstyles, my 1 year old girl's hair is growing a lot down the middle, but not at the sides. As it sticks up, it looks like she has a mohawk.

I've started calling her Vidal and no one has a clue what I'm talking about

by **Afro** Fri 30 May 2014, 12:13 pm

BTW has anyone checked if the TM website is working now. It's been knackered for a few weeks

by GSC Fri 30 May 2014, 12:15 pm

Works fine for me

by **Afro** Fri 30 May 2014, 12:17 pm

Its working for me too, although it is the new version that they have been building up. I don't know my way aorund it. Anyone got a link to the search page where you can filter on positions and values etc

The new TM site is dreadful. Slow, cumbersome, difficult to find stuff. Like, seriously difficult to just trawl through pages of values like we used to.

Theres that I guess

by Azzy Fri 30 May 2014, 12:23 pm

I wish I could read German.

by sodhat Fri 30 May 2014, 12:24 pm

Do you guys prefer thin girls with nice legs or bigger girls with massive cans?

I'm falling more on to the massive cans side. It's just more fun.

by GSC Fri 30 May 2014, 12:28 pm

There is no advanced search atm, coming soon apparently

Thin with nice legs. I've always found massive cans to get very boring very quickly. Of course, ten fingers and ten toes is also a must.

by Marky Fri 30 May 2014, 1:49 pm

Massive cans does not get boring for me New League - what would get you involved? - Page 2 3559488474

That's why I had the op.

Bigger jubblies. Recently I've been into the 35-40 year old divorced mothers. They miss that company and I fill in that void.

by Azzy Fri 30 May 2014, 2:04 pm

Who wants to try and draw together the thoughts so far? And who are the managers signed up thus far?

by **Afro** Fri 30 May 2014, 2:07 pm

Man with giant cans

I found your blog Marky

by GSC Fri 30 May 2014, 2:11 pm

Squad Selection
Real life teams seems the consensus, not sure which yet.
Tactics
Shorter tactics
Votes
1-3 people each week, via rota.
TP Rules
No real movement on this. 1 TP + extra for each lawyer sold/accepted floated.
Lawyers
Not forced, Euro value to save runners.
Injuries
Possibly longer term injuries.
Social Participation
Possibly award for most active manager. Rumour mill idea floated.

Do you actually fill that void?

It must be hard work considering you're watching them on milfs4u.com

by Azzy Fri 30 May 2014, 2:14 pm

I think that's why Viva came down to London that one weekend. Milfs aplenty down here.

by **Afro** Fri 30 May 2014, 2:15 pm

I think it was a typo.

"They miss that company and I make them realise that the grass isn't always greener"

Just got back from a farewell lunch for one of my colleagues.

Burger Joint where you pick what you put in your burger. 6oz burger with bacon, black pudding and halloumi, with fries...mmmm :lipsmackingsmiley:

by sodhat Fri 30 May 2014, 2:18 pm

I think the term MILF is too subjective anyway. I mean it's all down to the "ILF" bit and many people would "LF" ladies that I wouldn't particularly "LF"

IYKWIM?

I challenge that. The decision to not put on pulled pork and a fried egg will haunt me all weekend though

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 30 May 2014, 2:24 pm

Afro are you welsh now?

No man. I crossed back over the border and live in England again. The sun shines on the Afro household these days

I'm not sure pulled pork and black pudding would mix, not with the beef. Besides being a religious nightmare for Hindus, Muslims and the Jewish, I think you'd have too many tastes going on.

by Azzy Fri 30 May 2014, 2:28 pm

I've been offered a free cricket game against a brewery, with a free p1ss up at a local pub afterwards. Shame I'll be on holiday, but everyone else will love it!

by sodhat Fri 30 May 2014, 2:28 pm

Although if you made that burger a staple of your menu I do think THE RELIGIOUS NIGHTMARE would be a good name.

Don't knock it until you try it. The barbecue sauce pulled it all together into one big meat extravaganza

by sodhat Fri 30 May 2014, 2:31 pm

How odd, Big Meat Extravaganza was the name of the movie I watched last night.

by **Afro** Fri 30 May 2014, 2:31 pm

I did give my dinner last noght the official name of Breakfast Fried Rice.

Homemade fried rice with sausage, bacon, egg and mushrooms, with a good splash of soy sauce.

You didn't watch all of it though did you. Your working your way through in 30 second installments

by sodhat Fri 30 May 2014, 2:36 pm

Never watch for longer than 2 minutes, unless you're skipping to the best bits.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 30 May 2014, 2:39 pm

Got a second interview at Lloyds Cool

I hate interviews though. Hate being judged like that

by Bull Fri 30 May 2014, 5:13 pm

Oh what did you need me for? Olly called me or something>

Folks where were we
I have an exam in 2 hours, but soon I'll be free to take up my managerial post once again

by GSC Mon 02 Jun 2014, 7:55 am

What exam

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 02 Jun 2014, 8:27 am

Nazi Germany

If only Smarts was around, he seems like he'd know a lot about that.

Sooooooo,

how we deciding teams

How about the Europa league qualifiers of each of the big 4 leagues, split and then randomly assigned?

by GSC Mon 02 Jun 2014, 11:40 am

I still think Championship would be interesting boxing
